Kouign Amman
One of my favorite bakery finds over the past year was this little bakery on Avenue Mont-Royal.
Of course the thing to get is the treat that lends the bakery its name, the kouign amman- a flaky cake with a hard shell and soft interior hailing from Brittany. If you want to get a slice to enjoy, don’t make the same mistake I did and order the ‘small/petit’– that would get you a small cake, which is still a rather large thing to eat in one sitting. Then again, there are many worse mistakes one could make.
The other heads up is that there’s only seating for two or maybe three groups, so maybe plan on picking up something to enjoy on a picnic.
MONTMORENCY FALLS
I really enjoyed my day visit to Montmorency Falls. Very easy to get to from Quebec City and lots of great outside space for picnicking plus plenty of walking trails. Took my four year old here, and there was just the right amount of space for open exploring. Visited on a sunny day which created some great rainbow prism effects around the base of the waterfall. Incredible views.
