Le Toledo is a meticulously crafted love letter to the art of breadmaking and community connection. Born from the vision of François Barrière, a former banker turned boulangerie mastermind, and Riccardo Arnoult, a seasoned baker from Toulouse, this Plateau landmark is built on a foundation of passion, collaboration, and a relentless pursuit of quality.
Inside the airy, light-filled space on Mont-Royal, visitors are greeted by a vintage Toledo scale—a serendipitous discovery that inspired the bakery’s name. The design, a blend of industrial charm and warm minimalism, invites you to linger at communal tables beneath a constellation of salvaged lamps.
The menu champions Quebec’s organic flours and slow fermentations, offering everything from buttery almond croissants to Scandinavian-style smørrebrøds. These are found at every one of their locations, good for grabbing a crusty sourdough loaf as much as they are for awesome sandwiches and breakfast chaussons.
