Maman

If you have a thing for uber-cute French patisseries, get thee over to First Canadian Place in downtown Toronto. Maman hails from New York and is the place to grab a slice of lavender blueberry loaf cake and an on-point latte to get on with your day. Or, if you want to be more European, grab a seat at one of their rustic wooden tables and stay awhile. Have a quiche Marie with peas, roasted fennel and goat cheese or nibble at a Mediterranean platter with hummus, mixed olives and toast. It is the ultimate place to read the paper in downtown Toronto.
