About

Le Far Breton operates as a traditional bakery and café specializing in authentic Brittany-style pastries and artisanal baked goods. The menu focuses on the signature far breton cake, characterized by its dense, custard-like texture and prunes, alongside an assortment of freshly prepared kouign-amann. Patrons find a selection of flaky butter croissants, fruit-filled tarts, and various sourdough breads baked daily to ensure consistent quality. The interior environment facilitates a focused culinary experience where the aroma of caramelized sugar and roasted coffee beans defines the sensory atmosphere. Counter service remains standard for those purchasing boxes of regional specialties or individual treats to consume on-site. The establishment prioritizes the precise execution of classic Breton techniques, resulting in a refined inventory of savory and sweet offerings that adhere strictly to historical French baking traditions.

Suuuuuuper!!! I came all the way from Toronto to try these famous croissants. I had one & then bought a half dozen. Beautifully buttery, airy & made with love. The owner is from Paris & no doubt he brought the magic with him. Also had a Swiss roll, a chocolatine & a couple of the other pastries. You cannot go wrong here. Magnifique!! I was doing a happy croissant dance all day. Would give 10 stars if I could!

Best croissants I've tasted in Montréal. Perfect flakiness, perfect fluffiness, perfect bitterness. No notes. Also the place is cute & the folks who run it are lovely.
