Boulangerie Le Fournil

I really want to like this place. And I want to start off by saying that I love their butterscotch blondies. It is by far their bestseller and it’s fantastic.
Having said that, I have to agree with another reviewer who blasted their bread. Their baguettes are terrible. Their sourdough is tasteless.
I’ve tried their pies. Eek. It was bad. The crust was dry and burnt. The filling was terrible.
I’d like to end this review with something positive. Their smores are great as are their other squares — not as amazing as their butterscotch blondies, but pretty good.

Their cakes and pastries look very good, but I haven’t tried them. Their bread on the other hand is not great and quite pricey, so definitely not worth it compared to other Montréal bakeries. Also, the service is very unpleasant. I might go back to try their Challah bread which looked good, and to see if the employees are always unpleasant or i just caught them on a bad day.

If you love over the top baked goods, this is the place for you.
They make amazing little pasties. My favourites are their: Smores (ginger graham base with a layer of fudge and then topped with melted marshmallows — Unbelievable! I was skeptical at first but the guy working behind the cash cut me a sample to try. I am hooked! …2^nd favourite pastry is: their Lemon squares. like a little lemon meringue pie concentrated into small square the size of a deck of playing cards. If you like lemon pie/​cake etc… you will looooove the lemon squares.
They also make amazing pies, cakes, cake pops etc…
My only complaint about the new location is that it is on Sherbrooke in westmount, so it can be a bit hard to find a spot during the day.

Everything I have had from there was good and I am happy to support a locally owned business.
My only comment is I have been in there a few times where the owner was yelling at a staff member in the back. Completely inappropriate.

Why Le Fournil feels it deserves to describe itself a «boulangerie» is beyond me! Their bread is a disgrace to the title — everything is wrong with it: the crust is not crispy, the inside is too dry, and flavor-​wise it lacks any flavor but that of yeast. When I asked for a sourdough bread, they presented me with several options but none actually tasted like a proper sourdough — all were under fermented.
I went on a Saturday morning and they had no baguettes, no croissants, nothing that you’d expect to find in a French bakery and the name certainly leads you to believe that they are such. There were other customers but they were surely not there for the bread! Some of their pastries looked interesting, albeit dripping in sugar syrup and glazes to enhance flavors.
Needless to say, I will not be going back, and I’ll definitely be spreading the word that they’re to be avoided. This neighbourhood lacks a true French «boulangerie» (Gascogne is passable but their bread is far from noteworthy) and so I’ll be taking my business over to the Atwater Market area where I can find real good sourdough baguettes.

I’ve only tried their bread pudding, but I have to say, I wish I had bought 10 other pieces ,
I have to say, one of the best things to eat in the city (if you are a real gourmand)
