Tournayre is one of the few authentically
French
pastry-shops in
Toronto, in the Beaches. Very good
croissants,
brioches, and pastries
are made fresh every day, like they
should. Try for example the very good
Suzan: a sponge cake base supporting a
back currant mousse that hides slices of
pear
poached in vanilla sirup, topped with a
black currant coulis and fresh berries.
Large
cakes are also available
for take out -- a great idea when you're
looking
for the perfect
ending for a meal at home. Tournayre is
probably
the only place in the
city that makes
Kugelhopf, this
delicious sweet
bread from the Alsace
region of France. In fact, the French call it a
cake, not a bread:
that says it all. Light lunches (like quiches
and sandwiches) are also served. Tournayre
has a small but
comfy
seating area, convenient for breakfast or an
afternoon tea.

The latest rumour is that Sandra & Marc return to France has not been succesful and may be considering a return Canada. We can only be hopeful.

Okay this has to be our little secret but I have the greatest news in the world! There used to be this fantastic bakery in the beaches called Tournayre that quickly and quietly closed down in the fall of last year. It was the best little bit of France Toronto had to offer. The good news...Recently I was out driving on Dundas west near Royal York road and noticed a new bakery that had opened. I went inside and just about cried when I recognized the baker from Tournayre! He has opened his own little patisserie called Ma Maison. I can promise that this place has got the greatest baguette in the whole city and that it is well worth the drive to the west end. In addition to baguette there are also wonderful pasteries and prepared foods that are magnificent! The address for Ma Maison is 4243 Dundas Street West, Etobicoke, ON
M8X 1Y3 416.236.2234. Located on the south side of Dundas Street.
Enjoy :)
