A fresh French-inspired pastry can make all the difference between an ordinary morning and an extraordinary one. Just ask any of the residents of Monkland Village, who make it a point of popping by La Pâtisserie de Nancy every morning. The business has been serving them since 1965 and is one of the founding establishments of the popular upscale strip.
“This place is all about traditional French pastry,” proclaims Marie-Josée Bernard. “Our pastries are delicious and wildly popular with our customers, who will grab one or two every morning while going to work. Plain, chocolate, almond croissants: we prepare the classics every night, so they are as fresh as possible when the morning rush rolls around. That’s what our customers appreciate the most.”
And while La Pâtisserie de Nancy justifies a quick pit stop on the way into work, it is also a destination for delicious homemade cakes, fresh-baked breads and surprising macaroons, not to mention its house sorbets and ice creams, fine chocolates and cakes. Seasonal products round out the impressive offering. “We like to let the seasons inspire us," muses Marie-Josée.
Une institution sur la rue Monkland, et une des meilleures patisseries en ville ! J'adore aller y prendre un bol de café au lait avec un chausson aux pommes. Ici tout est bon : viennoiseries, patisseries, chocolats et macarons, crèmes glacées, quiches... sans oublier LA galette des rois début janvier. Et pour ne rien enlever, les patrons sont adorables et offrent avec leurs employés un service impeccable.
Founded in 1965, this patisserie is now a firm fixture on Monkland Avenue. Everything is made on site, from the quiches to the cakes, as well as the macaroons, chocolates, ice creams and sorbets.
Patisserie de Nancy, a combo café and pâtisserie, is quaint, has a nice terrace and is located in the trendy Monkland Village. Their café au lait in a bowl is serious business and their espresso is expertly brewed. They make some of the best pastry around and a delicious slice of quiche. Pick up some freshly baked bread before you leave – it’s unforgettable fabulous.
