Fanfare Brunch Boulangerie doesn’t fit neatly into one box, and that’s exactly the point. Launched in 2019 by chef Julien Laporte and baker Lilian Gourbin, this Jarry East spot combines a bakery, café, and brunch restaurant into one sharp, minimal space that does a lot with a little. The bread—made with organic, locally milled flour—is excellent. The viennoiseries are polished without being precious. And the short, evolving brunch menu pulls from French technique, Nordic simplicity, and the flavours of whatever cuisine Julien happens to be exploring that week. Gravlax with housemade rye, eggs Benedict on a toasted muffin, or a croque-madame built on their own loaves—it’s all thoughtful, balanced, and beautifully plated. Coffee comes courtesy of La Tasse à Café, and the team’s commitment to making everything in-house runs deep. Even if you’re just grabbing a pastry to go, you’ll feel the attention to craft. Fanfare doesn’t overplay its hand; it just plays it well.
