La Cave à Manger est une adresse intime du Vieux-Montréal où les pâtisseries font l’unanimité, croissants croustillants et rouleaux pistache, éclair au chocolat et pains au chocolat étant souvent cités parmi les favoris; l’offre sucrée se mêle à des options salées comme des sandwiches et une pizza, le tout servi par un personnel chaleureux et efficace. Le cadre est petit et parfois en sous-sol, ce qui peut limiter les places assises, mais l’ambiance cosy et la terrasse extérieure compensent largement. Les avis saluent la qualité constante et le goût riche, avec des prix un peu élevés justifiés par le savoir-faire, et l’accueil qui pousse les visiteurs à revenir. En somme, une étape incontournable du quartier malgré une fréquentation variable selon l’heure et la saison.
Every time I'm in Montreal, I have to make a stop at La Cave à Manger. It's tucked away in a pretty touristy area, & even my friends doubted the quality at first because they figured it would be overpriced tourist stuff. Then they took one bite & instantly changed their minds. The baked goods are legit, the quality is undeniable, & it always ends up being one of our favourite stops in the city.
Fantastic bagels & service. One day we arrived an hour before closing to get our sesame bagel fix & they gave us extra bagels & bread at no extra cost. Went back the next day for 5 bagels & they hooked us up with a half dozen price (cheaper).
We were only in the city for a few days & indulged on several bagel places, but this one was easily the best in terms of flavour & service. We always ate them plain & were seriously impressed by how flavourful their bagels were. We'll be returning when we visit Montreal again!

Comme un bon Français, j'ai écumé pas mal de boulangeries. Mais après une dizaine de jours à traîner à travers le Québec, nous tombons sur cette boulangerie bien au dessus des autres! Quel plaisir gustatif! Du pains & des viennoiseries excellente. Un service très sympas, un vrai bon espresso & d'après ma femme un super cappuccino.
Locaux ou touristes comme nous, ne doutez pas & foncez.
Oui certains dirons que les prix sont élevés mais quand vous comparez ce que vous payez dans les autres boulangeries ou quand vous regardez le prix du pain en grande surface…
Bref je recommande vraiment.
I may not be French but food is universal. Out of the 5 countries I've traveled to, & the 5/6 bakery/cafes in Montreal I went to, these are some of the best pastries I've ever had. Everything from the lamination to the bake to the ratio of flavors was exceptional.
I will say so the seating is outside so plan accordingly with the weather.
Normally I take photos for my reviews but I was too busy enjoying the food! 10/10 will be coming back here again.
Nice place to stop in for some morning pastries & breakfast .
La Cave a Manger is located next to the Bonsecours market in an underground basement like area . Once you go down the steps you are met with a warm environment & a case with classic pastries including bagels , croissants sweet & savory .
Coffee barista was very friendly as she prepared a cappuccino for me . I decided to get an almond croissant which was delicious .
Nice flaky on the outside & moist filling inside . Ate it with great happiness. Coffee is well prepared & not too heavy . I also purchased a cheese & ham savory croissant for a later snack (not pictured) . Combination of the cheese melted & creating a crust with the pastry is awesome .
The layers were very thick & doughy for a croissant. Not thin, buttery & crispy. Only the top layer was crispy & the rest was very brioche-like. Wouldn't recommend.
We stayed nearby & loved coming here each morning before walking along the river. Our 6-year old begged to return for another croissant. Loved the fresh jus d'orange too!
