Made by Parisian-trained bread baker Marc Thobor, every crusty, tender, golden loaf, bun, roll and baguette at this bakery is a thing of beauty. For close to 20 years, devotees have flocked here for baguettes of every ilk — from traditional sourdough to seven grain, sesame and poppy seed, in regular and mini sizes.

With limited hours — 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., Thursday to Sunday — customers have to plan carefully to snag classic pastries, tarts, cakes and breads at this quaint Riverside bakery. In assorted sandwiches, or to tote back home, freshly-baked baguettes make for an ultra-French snack.

When the basics are as good as they are at this cute Dundas West spot, you don't need bells and whistles. Regulars pop in for bracing cups of coffee sided with desperately flaky croissants, savoury classics, and superlative baguettes, in traditional sourdough, poppy and sesame seed.

The bakers at this spot (in Riverside and Kensington Market) are masters at transforming basic ingredients into stellar breads, croissants, cookies, and more. Baked to a deeply golden honey brown, their sourdough and multigrain baguettes have a crisp shell and fragrant interior.

At this Brockton Village bakery, French techniques and Korean flavours up the drama in a number of leavened goods. Bathed in garlic butter, topped with red bean paste or baked with a three-cheese blend, the team's chubby baguettes are a delicious departure from tradition.

Sit inside this Mount Pleasant café and sample a number of chef Tournayre's French delights. Made from a blend of rye and white flours, baguettes are fermented for 24 hours, to deepen the flavour, then baked at a high temp. Shiny and yeasty, crackly and chewy, you'll welcome one of these treasures any time of day.

French baguettes are baked fresh each morning at this elegant spot on Bayview. Made by a team that puts quality and technique at the fore, each would pass muster even among Paris' most discerning citizens. 

This Junction bakery pumps out a dizzying array of must-have baked goods — from breads and pies to cookies, sweet and savoury croissants and seasonal treats. Demand for the team's first-rate baguettes is so high that they can also be found at The Cheese Boutique, the Thin Blue Line, and more.

At this Scandi-inspired urban mill, bakery and café in Liberty Village, sourdough baguettes are made from organic, stone-milled Prairie Hard Red and spelt flours. Tangy flavour, a fragile exterior and the type of crumb that gives your teeth a little purpose make the baguettes perpetual bestsellers.
