The best pies: Our suggested addresses
Who else remembers the delicious homemade pies our grandmother used to serve us for dessert when we were kids and that we devoured at lightning speed?
Ah, those famous pies. There are those that comfort us when we need it, those that satisfy our cravings for sugar, or those that have the ability to gather all our loved ones around the table. Is it just us or do they also make you a little nostalgic and bring to mind warm and comforting moments?
There are rhubarb or berry pies when they are in season. There are also the puckery-sweet pies: lemon meringue and key lime. In the fall, we look forward to apple and pumpkin pies that we enjoy with our family. And let’s not forget the Quebec darlings, the sugar pie, and the “pets de soeur”. As one of the oldest pastries in the world, there are many different recipes, but let’s be honest, we are all convinced that our family recipe is the best!
Whether you eat it cold, hot, or warm, as a dessert or even for breakfast (no judgement, we do the same) it will always be a classic. We like to believe that there is always a good reason and a good occasion to eat pie.
Today, we wanted to share with you our suggestions of where to get the best pies in Montreal. You’ll see, they’ll remind you of the ones cooked by your grandmother!
