Paillard Café-Boulangerie
This bright and buzzy space has high ceilings, huge windows looking onto the street and a long wooden table down the middle where diners tuck into tasty gourmet sandwiches (ham with green apples and brie; hot roast beef sandwiches with blue cheese, caramelized onions and horseradish), satisfying soups and fresh salads. The attached bakery with its displays of sweet temptation is too hard to resist. It’s a bit of a madhouse at lunchtime.

Conorlee’s Bakery & Delicatessen
An islanders’ favorite, Conorlee’s is a great place to grab lunch-to-go before a bike tour. Fresh-baked breads, espresso, local honey and awesome pizzas are all available, but the coolest offering is the Wine & Dinner Series (per person $38), a monthly five-course sampling of Pelee’s finest. It’s held at the Pelee Island Winery; check Conorlee’s website for dates.

Pie Plate
Simple but delicious lunches (we devoured the pear and brie sandwich) at reasonable prices. It wouldn’t be an Ontario bakery without butter tarts, but there’s also thin-crust pizzas, meat pies, salads and a few beers on tap. A great place to fill up your belly while touring the wine country.

Boulangerie Moulin de Provence
Suddenly the Market’s golden boy after a visit by President Obama, Moulin de Provence offers up glass displays filled to the brim with sugary goodness. The ‘Obama Cookies’ are a big hit, but we recommend going for the flaky croissants, which hold the official title as the city’s best.
