Helene Des Iles - Cap-Aux-Meules

This is by far the best pastry we have ever tasted, not just on the island but in all of Quebec! This bakery is only open 3 days a week (at least in September), so make sure to grab a slot and don't miss out. The wait is definitely worth it as the pastries are deliciously moist. As French speakers, our standards for bakeries are quite high, but the quality and taste of this local bakery's products are simply outstanding!

I have tried several chefs on the island, but I must say that Helene's Bakery was the best. It is worth the wait as there is always a line outside. They offer a variety of pastries, and I would highly recommend it.

Helene makes really tasty tasty! nice that we were past a visit on the island. we tried a lot of baked strawberry rhubarb pee, canelé, scones, macaroons etc....and they were all so delicious.

I purchased a chocolate croissant and some blueberry muffins from Helene des Îles. The chocolate croissant was absolutely delicious, filled with almond and chocolate.

Glorious Cakes! Go Here! Been to Magdelen Islands 2 years in a row and once again, we ordered a specialty birthday cake from here it was incredible. First- the appearance, had everyone in complete amazement of it it’s artistic beauty, then the taste was...so fresh tasty, we almost ordered up a second cake for a few days later. So worth it, a piece of food art, splurge if you get the chance. Until next time, thanks again for making a special occasion even more special. We can't wait to go again on our next trip to the Islands...
