A fine selection of traditional French bread, sourdoughs and organic grain loaves. Situated on Granville Island, just outside the main food building and close to the dock, one can sit and enjoy the scenery with a chewy glutinous tear of bread and some fine cheese. Excellent pastries as well.

Pane e Formaggio

A thriving bakery and Italian gourmet deli in the heart of the West 10th neighbourhood. Exceptionally friendly service and devoted staff can answer all your questions about the abundant selection of cheeses or put together a gratifying coffee and elegant pastry.
