Best Bakery in Canada

L	Lucas N.M. on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Quite an expensive shop for what you get. The croissants and other confections seem to be made with “rough puff” pastry instead of traditional puff pastry. They’re buttery and passable, but a little bit tougher than they should be.
B	Bruce Ford on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I had the pleasure of discovering The French Baker right before Christmas; having grown up in Montreal (home of La Patisserie Belge, which is sadly no longer in business), I was looking to pass on my childhood Christmas morning tradition of oven-warmed almond croissants and Chocolatines to my own family. I placed my order several days in advance and can honestly say that the quality surpassed my (high) expectations. And a special thanks to Scott for going above & beyond the call of duty to ensure I was delighted with the pastries. And now that my family is gleefully addicted, I will definitely be back next Christmas (and possibly sooner).
M	Michelle Lee on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The bakery shop is tidy and neat. The food I bought were good, but nothing outstanding. They were all something I have tasted elsewhere. They tasted a bit old and dry. The chocolate cookie was a bit mushy where there was chocolate, while I expected the cookie to be crispy thoroughly. The server was kind and friendly.
C	Carol David on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Drove by several times always meaning to drop in and just happened to be open today so today was the day. Picked up chocolate eclairs and they were delicious ! The quaint shop brought back memories of my childhood when I lived in Belgium. So happy to have found the boulanger . Will definitely be back for the croissants!
P	Pawel P on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Very good french bread, pastries and baked goods, really delicious and worth the price along with great fresh coffee.
D	Davindra Ramnarine on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Small bakery just a couple of streets away from the bustling Byward Market. They have a variety of French pastries that are made fresh on site and it smelled amazing. We ended up grabbing breakfast pastries and coffee here twice on our trip to Ottawa, service was very friendly, pastries were delicious and safety protocols were in place. Will definitely visit again next time we come to Ottawa.
H	Heon Yeo on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Magnifique! A great bakery whose staples reflect just how great they are. It is unfortunate I had a bad tart a couple times, but I will return - that is how good their quality of staples are. Baguette (Traditional) 4.5 stars: - crisp crust - excellent color - well risen (nice variation of holes) - nice flavor from fermentation Croissant 4 stars: - very crisp exterior - good aroma and taste of butter Tarts 3.5 stars: - excellent crust - crisp, light, buttery, and excellent mouth-feel (overall) - lemon: sweet, tart, and very good lemon flavor - choose this if available - fruit/frangipane (apple/pear/almond): excellent frangipane with great texture, well rounded almond flavor - tart crust can vary. I had a tart crust that was over baked and it is unfortunate that it was still placed in the display case for purchase - 5 star tart otherwise
C	Carina Kwok on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The best! The pastries are beautiful and absolutely delicious. The sourdough bread was fantastic; chewy and tender with a good crust. It was just the right amount of sour. We enjoyed all the chocolate desserts. Crusts were crispy, chocolate was smooth, meringues were chewy-crisp. The glazes were lightly sweet. The only dessert I didn't enjoy was a preserved fruit tart. I like fruitcake, so I thought I would like this one but it's just not to my taste - no fault of the baker!
