I très belle
The former home of Chez
Sophie is now the city ' s newest French bakery, La Belle Baguette. Owner Alix Loiselle melds his Franco-Manitobain roots and classical training to create everything from delicate pâte à choux swans to rustic treats like pets des soeurs. Loiselle ' s time studying at Le Cordon Bleu and working with renowned pastry chef Daniel Boulud now translates into a space stocked with baskets of baguettes and boules, shiny croissants, sandwiches and quiches. 248 avenue de la Cathédrale, 204‐219‐2123— JK

Try traditional toppings like smoked salmon, pickled herring, and caviar, as well as ciao! news! new openings and food and retail news
thinly sliced veggies, cheese, and colourful fruits. In the midst of the city ' s current brisket and pork belly heavy sandwich renaissance, these healthful slices are a fanciful and fresh counterpoint.— JK
