I have such a special place in my heart for Olive et Gourmando – from the moment you walk through the door you can smell the fresh pastries. It isn't a trip to Old Montreal without one of their incredibly buttery croissants, they take me back to Paris every time.

This is a popular spot with both locals and tourists so plan to wait a bit before getting seated.There is a certain je ne sais quoi about Olive et Gourmando that you just don't find anywhere else.
