Les Anges Gourmets

Here is another gem in the Petite Portugal area. I have to agree with the previous reviewers on two points. This city has many Portuguese bakeries and not all are good, but this one is fantastic. It has a huge selection of baked goodies to choose from. There are pasteis de nata (custard cakes), almond croissants, lemon squares, chocolate eclairs, Portuguese bread, and the list goes on.
Pros:
–The goods are fresh. I find eating at the local bakeries a saving grace in terms of quality, price and convenience. There is allot of local flavor here in both the culture and food.
–The prices are extremely reasonable.
–The establishment is clean. Its tiny, but its comfortable.
–Seating is available inside.
–Good location. Its in a vibrant and safe neighborhood.
–The staff is friendly and quick.
–They speak French, Portuguese and English as needed.

J’y vais pour les natas, vous savez, ces gâteaux portugais. Un must.

Montréal has a lot of Portuguese bakeries, but unfortunately too many of them tend to be mediocre. Les Anges Gourmets is a local, if understated treasure and although the interior is not dazzling (looks unchanged since the 80’s), get ready for a surprise, because the food, breads and pastries are nothing short of outstanding. STELLAR country bread, broas (Portuguese corn bread) and natas, in addition of Portuguese delicacies, fresh paninis– they also make, on request, that celebrated Portuguese dessert called the Molotoff. I find they really know how to make perfect bread and they also have very good biscoitos (Portuguese tea cookies). Another great thing about this place is the very friendly service and chef-​food critic Phillipe Mollé (from le Devoir) himself praised the nata tarts of chef-​owner José Luis. All in all, a sweet place for fresh, excellent food and coffee, especially in a neighborhood packed with too many trendy places. Highly recommended!
