La Meunerie Urbaine - Bakeries in Notre-Dame-de-Grâce (NDG)

Côte-Saint-Luc, Notre-Dame-de-Grâce (NDG)

Mentioned in: Top 18 Must-Try French Bakeries and Pastry Shops in Montreal

Review Summary

La Meunerie Urbaine receives broad praise for exceptional bread and a wide range of pastries, with many reviewers calling it among the best bakeries in Montreal and highlighting sourdough, a French baguette with a soft crumb, croissants, and chocolatine as standouts; the emphasis on quality, craft and freshness shines through in comments about beautifully baked loaves, diverse grains, and a strong selection of pastries, plus good coffee and reliable service. A self service area helps with quick pickups, though long lines are common. Some notes point to changes after a remodel that made the baking area less visible and gave a more transactional feel, and a few worry that baguettes have become thinner or bread textures differ from earlier visits. Overall the impression remains highly positive, with many declaring it a must visit, a favorite in Montreal, and a reliable source of excellent bread and pastries at fair prices.View restaurant profile
