A comforting artisanal bakery in the heart of Montreal
Are you looking for the comfort of homemade food, a good French baguette, a croissant, a muffin, or even sandwiches you would think only exist in paradise? La Mie Matinale is made for you, because not only is everything prepared entirely in-house, but the decor, the atmosphere, and the staff all work together to help you forget the Montreal winter. And it works!
An institution supported by the Magazine Gay Globe
You might say to me: “Obviously, it’s a friend of the place, they advertise in his magazine, so he will never speak against it!” You would almost be right… except that the Magazine Gay Globe has endorsed and associated its name with this prestigious institution precisely because it excels. You would have to be crazy not to want to be seen with it.
Much more than a bakery: culture and unique details
But La Mie Matinale is much more than the mini-museum dedicated to Céline Dion and Dalida, featuring items and documents you will find nowhere else. It is also the attention paid to all the small details that distinguish small places from great institutions. La Mie may be small in square footage, but what a great institution it is, and what prestige it brings to Montreal’s Gay Village.
Passionate artisans at the service of customers
There is also the irresistible talent of the players — or rather, the partners. Régis, at the counter, who never misses an opportunity to make his customers laugh with his expressions and cheeky jokes, never in front of children; Didier, who quite literally gets his hands into the homemade dough; and their accomplice Costa, who works just as hard as the others but draws customers in with his beautiful blue eyes. To each his role!
A must-visit address during the holiday season
During the holidays, if you wish to escape your routine and take refuge in this country-style bakery in the heart of the Village, stop by La Mie Matinale; we will certainly run into each other there.
