What began as a family adventure of two brothers who launched into artisanal baking to supply many restaurants in Montreal with quality breads has continued to evolve constantly and quickly.
While the brothers initially took on production and delivery alone, L'Épicurien bakery can now count on a team of 28 employees, including 8 bakers – and this number continues to grow (at the time of writing, the 9th and 10th bakers are about to join the team).
Our mandate is to continue to offer the same great bread as since day one, made in an artisanal way and with quality ingredients. We have now adapted to be able to produce in large volumes, without sacrificing quality!
And it works! And it pleases! And we thank you for it ”
Important and Distinctive Points
Hand-picked employees. At L'Épicurien, all our bakers are trained, qualified bakers who have experience. This influences, for the better, the quality of the products and the consistency of production!
Consistency, precisely! We are an artisan bakery and, as such, we obviously cannot guarantee a standardization of the composition of our products and their manufacturing processes as perfect as that of an industrial line. However, we have made the bet to offer artisanal products with a high standardization. You have the right to be demanding!
How do we go about it? It all starts, as we said, with our team of experienced bakers. The next step involves precisely defined and controlled production processes. Finally, we finish with a rigorous quality control: our slicing and packaging team knows that if a product does not meet the established criteria, the bread is discarded. And there, no waste: all our losses are donated to charities.
The quality of the recipes. At L'Épicurien, we are convinced that it is the quality of the ingredients that makes the difference. And this is as true for the flours that we use as for the various fillings that we generously incorporate into our breads. It is according to this same principle that we decided to produce a range of pure butter brioche breads – which did not, however, push us to sacrifice their price, which we kept affordable!
A complete range of artisan breads. We offer a wide range of
artisan products. For all, the same watchwords: quality and consistency!
From baguettes to sliced square loaves, through various 1 kg loaves in slices of
different thicknesses and small country loaves to share or use in a soup bowl, not
forgetting our range of pure butter brioche burger buns and that of potato burger buns
(vegan recipe), our products meet all your needs.
And the range will continue to expand over time. But one thing is certain: each time we create a new bread, we take the time to develop this product well, and we only offer it to you when we are convinced that we can produce it in adequate quantity and with consistency.
