Boulangerie Artisanale Au Pain Gamin

Third time is a charm. We found ourselves coming to Rivière du Loup in 2018,2019 and now 2020. Both times the bakery was closed (they are closed Sundays and Mondays). Now we’re back, this time on a Tuesday and hurray, it’s open 0/ Delicious ham and Swiss, croissants and bread varieties!

This local bakery is so cozy, with freshly baked bread every day and delicious jam for breakfast. It is a fantastic breakfast option on your way to PEI.

I was amazed by the delicious pastries and food at this restaurant. The coffee was also excellent. Despite our limited French, the staff were incredibly helpful and accommodating.

A number of croissant choices, and a few cakes/bars. Many breads available. Line moves quickly, there were still lots of options at 9:30a on a Saturday.

We were here last year and on our first day when we discovered the bakery we had the most delicious almond croissant along with a fantastic coffee. On the second day after munching on our croissants the wonderful proprietor of the bakery sweetly announced that they made bouillabaisse soup for the first time. Now I truly was in heaven and it was as close to authentic as I have tasted in a long time. Well we are back and this year and I hope the soup and croissants are still available. Yoo hoo...
