Mamie Clafoutis' fresh baked bread coming to Nuns' Island

MONTREAL - The owners of Mamie Clafoutis, Nicolas Delourmel and Joseph Sabatier, have chosen to open their third bakery café in the heart of the Pointe-Nord neighbourhood, an eco-community on Nuns' Island in Montreal.

The smell of freshly-baked bread and croissants will soon be wafting through the air, and local residents will soon be able to sample products baked on site using the traditional family methods that have won fame for the existing bakeries in Outremont and the Plateau.

"A few years ago, when began master planning the Pointe-Nord neighbourhood, we dreamed of the day our residents would be able to sip coffee and eat fresh croissants on Pointe-Nord Avenue," explained Ilan Gewurz, Vice-President of Proment Corporation, the promoter of this eco-community situated just a few minutes from downtown Montreal. "The first residents brought life to the neighbourhood. Mamie Clafoutis is a part of bringing its soul."

The bakery café will include a terrace with views of both downtown and the Saint Lawrence River, while a large window will allow customers to watch the bakers at work. Inside the 3,000 square foot space, there will be a lounge area, bar seating and a section serving take-away sandwiches, salads and hot dishes, in addition to the usual fare of breads and pastries.

"We will be offering all our classics as well as some exclusive products, as we like to give our production managers the flexibility to adapt to their location and individual clientele," explained Nicolas Delourmel, co-owner of Mamie Clafoutis. "We're already planning to produce our own Nuns' bread!"
