Artisan Bakery, a bit of history...
Owl’s Bread Bakery owes its name to the Owl’s Head Mountain, situated nearby, since it first opened in February, 1994. The idea of owners, Denis Mareuge and Agnès Castilloux, was to offer breads of French tradition, without added fats or sugars, cooked directly on a stone hearth and baked fresh on a daily basis. Also, to propose all products made to accompany artisan breads, such as, homemade and local ‘charcuteries’ of potted meats and terrines, pectin free jams, local cheeses, smoked salmon and gravlax...to name a few.
The ‘pâtisserie’ or French pastry being the ideal complement to the ‘boulangerie’ or bakery shop proposes equally high end pies, tarts and cakes etc. French Chef Denis Mareuge recently added a variety of his takeout speciality dishes since the closure of his well reputed restaurant due the Covid-19 pandemic. Once upon a time the restaurant was honoured in the French newspaper ‘La Presse’, ‘The Gazette’ and even the famous ‘New York Times’ in 2003. It also obtained a 4 stars rating in the ‘Guide Voir’ from Montreal.
Situated in the heart of Mansonville village, Owl’s Bread Bakery is ideally situated for passerbys, cyclists or tourists headed to the golf or ski slopes for a quick sandwich, panini or one of the more elaborate dishes, bread or the famous pure butter croissants.
The owners, Agnès and Denis, are always on the premises to serve and answer all of your queries and honour special requests whenever possible.
