About

Our approach to pastry-making is rooted in questioning. What role do ingredients play in the chemistry of a pastry? How does the body react to them? Are they truly essential? And if so, what natural foods can we substitute them with?

For ten years, we have avoided the refined sugar, glucose, and many other artificial sweeteners, colorings, and stabilizers found in numerous pastries and baked goods.

Initially, we used organic whole wheat flour, organic honey, local maple syrup, and organic cane sugar. Then, we sought to further reduce the amount of sweeteners, even natural ones, while creating more complex and pronounced flavors.

By combining nuts, fruits, vegetables, roots, spices, and herbs with our flours, we found our alchemy. Carrots, Jerusalem artichokes, celeriac, sweet potatoes, parsnips, nasturtium leaves, and more. The list of flavors and textures nature offers us is infinite.

In our shop, you will find croissants and baked goods with a rich yellow dough, made without eggs or refined sugar. Instead, they are sweetened with carrot juice and made with whole organic rye and spelt—resulting in a tasting experience that is crispy, airy, beautifully buttery, and mindful!

Belle table champêtre qui nous a fait sortir de Montréal ! Cela vaut le déplacement. Nous étions 4 & avons partagé les plats tel que recommandé. Un bon repas en famille dans une ambiance conviviale. Le service était excellent.

Over priced, food ordinary, bread & pastry are baked in a wood burning over so they tend to be over done & a little burnt. Much better options not far away in Ste Adele or at sauveu

Nous y sommes allés entre 7 amis & avons décidé de tout prendre & partager ce qui est proposé sur le menu par Albert & son équipe.

Un pur délice, belles découvertes, abordable dans un environnement champêtre & un service impeccable !

Tout le monde était comblé ! Pour célébrer entre amis, sans être pressé, @Merci la vie ! Une nourriture succulente à un prix dérisoire ! & les vins aux prix de la SAQ +10$ !... Que demander de plus !
Merci encore pour ce 4 juillet mémorable

I love the place & the food but I have been 3 times during different periods & the service never improves. Despite all the comments left about the wait time, this is still an issue. I was there 1 month ago. Also is it that hard for wait staff to understand a child also needs their own place setting & glass of water.
