Quebec Trip #21: Great Bakeries in Old Quebec City

Mike, Nick and  Palliard's Deliciousness!

During our vacation in Old Quebec City, we enjoyed some amazing bakeries! 
THREE BAKERIES TO FIND - Whenever we travel, we're always sure to find bakeries so we can enjoy a light lunch of a pastry and coffee and tea. We found 3 of them that all visitors must enjoy! 

Rob and Tom at one of the bakeries 

PALLIARD - This was truly a great bakery and it's located in the Upper Town of Old Quebec. I (Rob) had a gourmet cupcake that was so delicious! 

  Paillard is a favorite of visitors due to its location, right in the heart of the Old City. Communal tables, classic bistro chairs, high ceilings, made-to-order sandwiches, and colorful pastries all add to the Parisian flair of the place, and the fact that they make the prettiest croissants in town doesn’t hurt either. Palliard is located at 1097 Rue Saint-Jean, Ville de Québec, QC G1R 1S3, Canada. 

Madame Gigi's Bakery 

GIGI'S BAKERY !
After you come down the breakneck stairs into the Lower Town and proceed down Rue du Petit-Champlain you'll come across Madame Gigi's bakery. **I knew we had to eat there, because it has the same name as my family's poodle from my childhood. You can find a great lunch there and great baked treats. We enjoyed lunch sitting outside. It's located at 84 Rue du Petit-Champlain, Quebec City, QC G1K 4H4, Phone number (418) 694-2269
