Le Moulin De Provence

Located on the core of Byward Market, this is a stop for me every time I’m in Ottawa. There is a lot to choose from so be ready to make a decision on what to pick. I haven’t had their sandwiches or drinks but from what I saw they seem pretty tasty. I’ve never had an issue with service, they are welcoming and patient for those having to take a bit more time to choose from their many products. On my last trip out I got the lemon danish, meringue and double chocolate cookie. Both the Danish and Meringue were superb and I would highly recommend trying if you go. My reason for the 4 stars is for the double chocolate cookie. The taste was there but the freshness was lacking as the cookie was not soft but hard. I’m not sure if that’s the way they are going with their cookie but it is more of a crunch than a melt in your mouth. would recommend stoping here on your trip to the market!

This place serves fresh baked sandwiches, croissants, quiche, pizza, etc. The place also has a huge variety of pastries, tarts, macaroons, cookies. The food is artisanal. I ordered a fruit tart, a spinach quiche and a latte. The tart and latte were really good but the quiche didn’t taste fresh. If you’re in Byward Market then you should definitely visit this place.

Loved walking around the market experiencing different pubs and foods. Came across le moulin de province. Id say the French make the best pastries and the wife and I were excited to eat a legit croissant even if canada. Larhe display of baked goods, breads, pastries, cookies etc. Took some time to look everything over as it wrapped around the building. Everyrhing was fresh and looked delicious. We intended on a croissant. Which they had several different ones. But we ended up buying additional pastries just because of how tasty they looked. Prices were pretty average, service was helpful and quick. Taste was more then what was expected and yes, best croissant ever. I think only getting one in France would top it. The market is a must visit, but while there you need to stop by this Bakery and sample some of the goods.

Had high hopes for this place given the popularity and reviews but had a bad experience with most of the pastries I tried. Pina colada pastry and the 3 chocolate mousse was good. Didn't like the hot chocolate, felt a little watery with not enough chocolate. Mango mousse was the most horrible thing I have tasted in a while, very bad consistency, bought it at the end of the day so maybe it was stale. The espresso chocolate pastry was okay but not something I would want to eat a second time.
