Open Tuesday to Sunday

Out of the deck oven at seven.

Croissants, kouign-amann and a country loaf on the zinc, a café crème from the bar. Take it in paper or stay by the window.

The counter this morning

Seven o’clock, still warm

Théo is in at five. What comes out of the deck oven goes straight onto the zinc, and when a tray is gone it is gone until the next batch.

Today’s changes

Taped to the pass this morning

A slip strikes the line it replaces and comes down by itself when its day is over. The card underneath never changes mid-season.

Today’s card

On the zinc today

The card is set once a season. What changes for a day is clipped to its corner.

Petit-déjeuner at the counter: two café crèmes and croissants on the zinc, the morning's bakes behind

Allergies

Tell us about an allergy before you order and we will tell you what is in the dish. One kitchen, shared pans, no separate fryer.

Prices

Taxes (TPS/TVQ) added at the till

The day in five services

From the first croissant to the last candle

One kitchen, one room and five cards a day. Each service has its own hours, and the card changes with them.

Café crème, a croissant and a jam tartine at the window

Butter croissant, three days in the making

Théo starts each morning’s dough two days ahead: a night in the cold, three folds of Québec butter, a second night, then the deck oven at five. Forty come out at seven, and the last one rarely sees half past ten.
