The smell of fresh bread tempts me every time I walk through the train station. Everything I've ever had here has been delicious, especially the olive fougassette (about $2), pain au raisins (about $2.50) and sesame pain biologique (about $4).
The service is efficient and friendly. The other morning I was even given two croissants for the price of one because the cashier said the first one she gave me was too small. Yum. -

Multiple locations in Montreal. This gourmet one-stop-shop for on-the-go/take-a-way options (from sweets, savory and everything in between) ended up being my last meal in the city. While waiting to board our train back to TO, boyfriend made a quick stop at Premiere Moisson in search for breakfast. We heard about the establishment through some prior research online. He came back with his vice...coffee and two kinds of croissants - it was buttery, rich and sweet. Then it was my turn; I ended up making a selection for lunch with an order for a small wedge of brie, two kinds of pate and a demi-baguette. Still noshing on the goods and it's certainly making our 5 hour journey via rail that much more enjoyable. Person behind the counter was very helpful albeit my lack of knowledge per cheeses, pate and the fine art of French.

Miam! You would not expect this from a fast paced-bakery in a super busy Central Station, but it's true: high quality and incredibly fresh. This particular location has a few counters serving many types of food including sandwiches, salads, desserts, breads, and many other baked goods. I came down here often for lunch during my stay at the Fairmont, as it is right below the hotel, and I had a chance to sample some of their sandwiches and Viennese pastries. I could not get enough of this place! My favourite hands down was the "chocolatine aux amandes". Can't go wrong with 100% pur beurre!!!

Below the Fairmont Queen Elizabeth lies the Gare Centrale, and its warren of shops, cafes, and Premiere Moisson.
The first time I ventured down into the train station, I saw a queue of people at Premiere Moisson. And as soon as I looked into the display cases and saw the fantastic-looking pastries, I knew why. It became my daily ritual to leave the hotel, descend into the subterranean shopping mall, and immediately get in line at the boulangerie.
"Une chocolatine aux amandes, SVP." These chocolate and almond croissants were good enough to rival my local favorites at Fleur de Cocoa: crisp and flaky on the outside, and full of chocolatey, almondy goodness on the inside.
I am envious of the commuters who are able to stop here every day on their way to work!Listed in: An Homage to Montreal's Great…

I often get a sandwich for lunch from Premiere Moisson. Today was roast beef, caramelized onions and cheese (can't remember what kind) on a fresh baguette. Needless to say, I was a little sad when I finished it.
When I'm not in the mood for a sandwich, the olive bread or one of their many focaccias hits the spot.
I love bread... Enough said. -

Tried the chocolate and almond croissant - la chocolatine aux amandes. Deliciously buttery, but waayyyy too sweet for my taste. If you love sugar, then you'll probably like this.
Also tried the fig, blue cheese, and pecan bread. While yummy, there was a bit of an overkill on the blue cheese which made it pretty salty. Once you took off some of the filling, it was much tastier.
For a chain pâtisserie, it's pretty good. But I'll keep looking for better on my next trip to Montréal. -

I look forward to arriving or switching trains at the Gare Centrale, just so I can stop and buy pastries here. There is always a long line but it is completely worth it. At Christmas they sell these mini bûches de Noël with chocolate ganache, pear, raspberry, caramel, and hazelnut flavours. They are so rich and delicious that I usually don't get around to saving the cakes for my friends and family back home. Their almond croissants and pains au chocolat are mouthwatering, as are their small tiger-eye hazelnut cakes.
Surprisingly, their savory selection is just as good. We had an amazing vegetarian sandwich with some kind of flavourful smoky lentil mushroom pâté on nutty crusty bread. It was so unexpectedly good that when we got back from our destination, we went back for seconds (but unfortunately the sandwich was not featured that day). They also sell spreads, local cheeses and other gourmet items here.
By the way, I've been to another location in Marché Atwater which I remember being just as consistently great. Bottom line: do not miss this place if you're ever in the vicinity of the downtown train station! -

For a stand in a metro station, I was pretty dang impressed. I tried the spinach and cheese roule, the bacon and cheese bread, and an eclair, and both were excellent. I am drooling over the thought of them now, even, and when I go back to Montreal this is one of the top places on my list to return for lunch or a quick snack.

Yum yum. Love Premier Moisson! This location is a little crazy, however, with lots and lots of traffic and the general chaos of people moving around a lot to get to and from their trains. Same great baked goods as other locations, but I'd not come here unless I was getting on a train. The Sherbrooke St. location is much, much better. Way more relaxing and clam. Definitely get the cafe au lait, the almond croissants and the cheese bread.
