Marché de La Villette
I first read about this quaint little shop that is diagonally across the street from Olive & Gourmando before moving to Montreal in a Bon Appetit article from December 2004. We stumbled upon it after arriving, not associating the two until I recognized the proprietors. On that cold, snowy day, we enjoyed our traditional and perfectly prepared lunch-size quiche. Later, we returned for a variety of things—from their fantastic croissants and baguettes to their to-die-for pate de fois gras ($350/kilo). A simple dinner of pate and a baguette from here is truly divine.
