From incredible coffee to next-level donuts, Montreal has it all.
Farine & Cacao, winner of the La Liste Pastry Discovery Gem Award—an international award for little-known or hard-to-find bakeries worth going the extra mile for—is now a jewel in the city’s crown.
Owned by chef Christian Campos, the pâtisserie is focused on modern artisanal pastry that marry innovation, elegance, and the art of French pâtisserie.
Expect gob-smacking creations that taste as exquisite as they are to look at.
Chef Campos, previously from Pâtisserie de Gascogne, Fairmont Le Reine Elizabeth Hotel and the Ritz-Carlton and Maison Boulud teams, was honoured as Pastry Chef of the Year in 2015 and 2016 by the Society of Chefs and Pastry Chefs of Quebec.
After 20 years of experience training with great chefs in Canada and the MOFs (Meilleurs Ouvriers de France), Farine & Cacao is a must-visit for anyone looking for elegant desserts inspired by a pastry chef who has honed his skills at some of the best kitchens around.

Farine & Cacao specializes in classic viennoiseries, unique croissant flavours like raspberry and Gianduja (where chocolate meets hazelnut), and delicious works of art like the Black Forest dessert.
Lemon yuzu pies, chocolate marble cakes, and entremets like Paris Brest.
And we haven’t even mentioned the handmade chocolate bars.
Just south of the Plateau Mont-Royal and east of the Quartier des Spectacles, a visit to this exceptional patisserie should be at the top of your list of things to do.
