38 years of high quality breads and pastries

1974

French native Louis Le Duff dreamed of living the American Dream and left his native country to cross the Atlantic. His quest led him to Quebec, where is became a student. These studies in Quebec fueled his vision of recreating a French bakery in America.

He then opened his first restaurant, a small creperie near the university.

Au pain doré

At Bridor, we give consumers the chance to enjoy an artisanal baking experience right in the grocery store thanks to the Au Pain Doré breads and pastries that we make in our facilities and sell at certain retail outlets.

At Au Pain Doré, we believe that a baked good made with unbleached wheat flour, no artificial preservatives or colors adds a little something extra.
