The Union Française award for best baguette in town went to a new NDG bakery I’d never heard of, La Meunerie Urbaine.

Jeepers they even grind the wheat themselves. That’s dedication!

Oh you out of touch Plateau denizens. Everything they make is divine.

While I do love a classic baguette like the ones this place apparently makes, my go-to general purpose baguettes these days are the ones from Boulangerie Ange. (There’s one on Masson I think.) I like them because the mie is lighter than in traditional baguettes, which makes it nicer for sandwiches (IMO). They work particularly well for báhn mì, which are often made with baguettes containing a mix of wheat and rice flour, and these Ange ones are a bit like that.

Heh I dunno if 8 years old makes it a “new” bakery (I realize the article says that and you’re just quoting it, Kate). They used to have lines out the door practically every day until they took over the space next door. Also they refuse tips because they pay their employees (and they have a lot of them!) a fair wage.
And ful agreement with dwgs. I live dangerously close to them.

Haven’t lived in the Plateau for years, dwgs.
And I don’t have any reason to hang out in NDG these days, all the friends I had in the area having moved on.
(Also, I don’t buy bread.)

Meunerie is known for their giant round loaves of bread, which they carve up into halves or quarters for people who don’t feel like eating 3 kilos of bread in one sitting.

They aren’t at all new and they are fantastic, they are always contenders for best baguette in the city. I have to stay far away.

No question that their products are addictive. The baguette is good, but their brioche should come with a health warning.
While people were dealing with Covid, they created a web site that allowed customers to place an order, and then pick it up at a service window without going into the store.
I thought it was worthwhile recognizing their choice to make their customers feel safe.

Not a great time for their website to be down. What are their prices like?

I was going to add the link to the original post above but Ian is right, the website is down.
