MM.Legendre Bakery has been reopen since January 16th~.

MM Legendre will beat 麵包蜜語, 嘉莉 and Dobe & Andy so badly.
- Foodwise Cha-Cheng-Teng style, Lengendre beats by far most (As a HKnese Perspective). However if you would compare the “BBQ Rice”, D&A still wins.
- Decor and staff, Legendre still wins. (Lightning is Light-theme and Clean, I still remember when it used to have those watery carpet in the winter)

Did you forgot to compare the most important thing, The Bread Quality.
All three have similar quality but MM is in the middle in terms of pricing.
(Without counting the Buffet/ Bread Store, across MM)

Hi,

Lao Beijing is on Cote De Neige. Its near the metro of the same name, just a couple blocks north. My mainland friends swear by it.

Not been. Is it the one on Queen-Mary? I had conflicting points of view: some people adored it, while some thought it was generic.

Also, what I mean by quality is also good in terms of presentation… while a fan of beau-bon-pas-cher, I also like the kind of restaurants with a nice decor, “expensive” looks, that can be found in Toronto’s Chinese suburbs for instance. There is just not enough competition right now in Montreal. We hope it changes quickly though!

Callia no longer serves “cha chaan teng” meals anymore and now the dining area had turned into a storage space for floor and other non-perishable food for use in the bakery. I’m a fan of Li-Jing too I peeked one night at their renovations and it’s looking good fake ceilings and lighting, can’t wail till it re-inaugurate. I appreciate your blog entries abt our mtl. ct and the love for our chinatown.

Word has it that they want to be opened before Chinese new year. We have on going bets and the biggest spread is one month past original opening date!
