When it comes to pastries in Montreal, one French delicacy reigns supreme: the croissant. But with so many bakeries and cafés to choose from, it's hard to know where to find the flakiest, butteriest options. Maudits Français, the ex-pat team that found the best baguettes in the city, has scoured Montreal for the croissants that will transport you straight to the streets of Paris. They've determined the top 10 Montreal bakeries that make the most authentic offering, with plans to host a taste test in May to crown the ultimate winner.
There's nothing quite like smooshing a baguette between your fingers and feeling the crust crinkle. That's just one of the things a selection of judges did to determine which Montreal bakery makes the best long and narrow loaf of traditional French bread in the city.
