Brioche please

So during my month long European vacation I developped quite the habit of toasted brioche for break fast instead of toast. Where can I get good brioche in Mtl and would they slice it for me?

    Hello,
    The bakery Monsieur Pinchot on Brebeuf/Marianne has very, very good brioche and also brioche with pear and chocolate. Their bread is great as well.

      One of the only items worth buying these days at Patisserie Belge is their brioche, when they have it - I seem to recall they make them for weekends only, but I could be wrong.

        Why would you want them to slice it for you ? It would dry out. Buy a serrated knife and slice it yourself as needed.

        BTW HOT toasted brioche with foie gras is wonderful !

        Also, sprinkle some sugar on top and caramelize it under a grill. But watch the temperature - caramel gets very hot!

          Le Pain Doré has a squarish loaf which I am quite sure they could slice for you.
