Hof Kelsten

4524 boul St Laurent, Montreal, QC H2T 1R3

Chef Jeffrey Finkelstein’s Hof Kelsten on Boulevard St. Laurent wears a couple of hats – it’s both a Jewish-French bakery and a brunch spot. Come for a loaf of the bakery’s well-known sourdough or challah breads, and then come back again for Saturday morning brunch, where the dish to have is shakshuka.
