Smack dab in the centre of the Financial District and tucked away at the back of a food court sits Maman. A rustic boulangerie-patisserie isn’t what one would expect to find in such a location, but this is of little concern to Laure de La Moussaye and Othman Kacimi. Originally hailing from the capital of France, the charming duo has been drawing in the crowds since day one.
“We’ll have customers in here multiple times a day,” Laure says. “From coffee in the morning to cocktails after work.” As it turns out, Maman is just what the neighbourhood was missing.
