Manoir aux Pains d’Epices is fabulous. The structure and architecture is of late 19th, early 20th century design, and reveals a bit of quirky charm between its wooden floors and original ceiling trims and mouldings. This terrific Laval Street location is accessible to Vieux Montréal, museums, entertainment venues and McGill, for starters, as well as restaurants and cafés just a block or two around the corner, no matter which direction your feet and curiosity take you. But why go to a café when delicious breakfast offerings ~ including lots of coffee and tea, of course ~ are right under your nose at Manoir aux Pains d’Epices? Yves and Ephraim’s kitchen is set up in concert with a very capable chef (Ephraim) whose skills and willingness accommodates differing culinary needs. And Yves sets a beautifully welcoming table for you to enjoy whatever is on the morning menu! When I was ready to explore Montréal, I felt grateful both Yves and Ephraim possess the wealth of Montréal knowledge they do, along with an enthusiasm for sharing it: they helped me maneuver an unfamiliar city. When I made an unanticipated return visit to the city over a week later I was able to book a last-minute accommodation when they had an otherwise fully-booked house. I will definitely return to Manoir aux Pains d’Epices if they have space for my next Montréal visit! It is a really FUN “find”, owned and operated by two wonderful hosts!
