Fidelice - Gatineau, Quebec

I purchased an asparagus quiche and some desserts. The quiche was ordinary and sadly reminded me of Bisquick. However, it was not my main purchase nor the principal reason why I drove several kilometres to get there (my granddaddy would have said he walked several miles in the driving snow ... wearing only bread bags tied at the ankles to cover his poor swollen feet, but I digress). The desserts were the star attraction and a delightful and dare I say even whimsical step up from the quiche that shall not be named (although I might have named it, who knows). More importantly, my guests enjoyed them. Recommend going for those. The desserts, I mean. And not my guests. Read more

We bought a carrot 🥕 cake yesterday ( June 14, in the afternoon) to celebrate my sister’s birthday, guess what!!! there is a plum stone in the Carrot 🥕 cake !!!!! it’s disappointing. I have been a loyal customer for more than 6 years!!!

Great for cakes or specialty items, but the coffee seems to just come out of a machine - limited sizes as well. I'm not sure what the shelf life is for the pastries, but the almond croissant and brioche was a bit hard.

We come here occasionally, great price for great bakery in Ottawa Gatineau area. Croissant is reasonable priced compare to those popular ones on Ottawa side asking for almost $5 for one. But it does has a hint of sweet in the croissant. Cake is light and not overly sweet.

This is a cute and authentic bakery in Gatineau that I would definitely recommend for the patisseries. We came here during the holidays so it was obviously packed, but we always try to look for the most “people-packed” bakeries which usually means they’re worth trying. We got the passion fruit ... mousse cake, the bûchette, the brioche à l’érable and the croissant aux amandes. Honestly the pâtisseries (passion fruit mousse and bûchette) we’re definitely worth it, the mousse was very light and a perfect contrast between sweet and sour, and the bûchette had a very rich chocolate ganache that was made of good quality dark chocolate. However, the viennoiseries were meh, the brioche was a bit dry and imo didn’t have enough maple syrup, and the croissant was a bit simple with not much almond flavour. I definitely recommend this bakery for the patisseries and cakes, but the viennoiseries could be better Read more
