Four years ago we stayed with Ken because his B&B was just a few streets over from where our son lived. We've gone back every year since. This year our son moved to a different neighborhood, but still we stayed with Ken. We keep coming back to Ken because Boulanger Bassin is in the Platueau area of the city, very... more

After a six hour train trip from Toronto to Montreal, we arrived to a very warm welcome from Ken, the owner of Boulanger Bassin Bed & Breakfast.

What a lovely place, bubbling with good cheer and good eats! Waking up to the smells of coffee and fresh croissant changes the way a person starts looking at everyday life.

We spent 6 nights at Ken's B & B on our first trip to Canada. He welcomed us like we were old friends. The breakfasts were truly wonderful - 4 courses plus smoothy every morning - but we also enjoyed sitting round with the other guests as Ken made everyone feel so welcome. It amazed us that during our time... more
