The French Baker retails some of the finest foods and cooking ingredients available in Ottawa, including estate olive oils from France and Australia, French vinegars and mustards, different salts or fleurs de sel, Moss jams from Stratford, Ontario as well as illy coffee from Italy, including its designer editions of Francis Francis espresso machines.
We also have the best selection in Ottawa of world class chocolate, including the amazing Michel Cluziel made with no additives, Valrhona, Monbana, Koenig, and Voisin, in addition to our own handmade chocolates.
Our pastry chefs also make their own, handmade chocolates, including truffles and chocolate fillings flavoured with tea, caramel, and other delights. Taste the difference that high quality chocolate and freshness makes!
There is also a wide selection of French confectionary, ranging from nougat de Montelimar, calissons de Provence, salt caramel from the Ile de Re, and Pierre Gourmand candies.
There is also a takeout section from Benny’s Bistro that almost always has soup, gravlax, salads, quiche, tapenade, and entire meals or ingredients like our famous confit de canard – just add sautéed potatoes and red wine for a gourmet meal.
For dog lovers, there are even Benny’s Biscuits, made with organic wholewheat flour, cornmeal, butter and other good things.
