Café Gilou in Owen Sound

The croissant Amandine (with almond) was absolutely delicious! True French pastry in Owen Sound! So worth a visit. The coffee was wonderful, too.

Today was my first (of many, I know!) visits to Cafe Gilou. I brought home a cheese and mushroom galette, and some croissants and chocolate chip cookies. Every single bite was so delicious, and it was truly difficult not to eat everything at one sitting. This is REAL French food with ultra-fresh ingredients and I am SO happy that we have this charming, talented couple in town now. Even if you don’t have any other reason to go to the Professional building on 3rd Avenue West, I highly recommend that you make a special stop to experience this fantastic little place. And the parking is free. Thank you to Cafe Gilou for this superb taste of France!

I think I've tried most of the galettes now, they're all so good! I've narrowed down my favourites to ham, cheese, onion, and egg OR brie and choice of jam. My son is loyal to the maple syrup galette, so there is definitely something for everyone. The pastries and soups are amazing, as well as the atmosphere and customer service. If you haven't been, GO!

I am a frequent customer because the food is so delicious! I also love that it’s quick, ready and homemade! I highly recommend anyone to stop in and check them out!

I’m obsessed with these delicious ( just happen to be gluten free) galettes (crepes). Sooo good! The pear cake is also very good. The coffee is amazing, as well, smooth & rich. The pastries are very reasonably priced for such high quality. A must try place. Entrance is from 4th ave east on the south end of the professional/ medical building. There is a sign outside of the entrance

My wife and I had an appointment at the Owen Sound Professional Centre and stopped at Cafe Gilou for lunch. I ordered the mushroom/egg/ham/cheese Galette and my wife ordered the ratatouille Galette. We also selected two chocolate twist pastries in addition to our lunch order. The Galettes were made with fresh ingredients and were extremely delicious. The chocolate twists were enjoyed later in the day and the taste was spot on. If you are looking for something different from the mainstream lunch options, visit Chef Gilles at Cafe Gilou, you will not be disappointed.

Always a delight to experience Chef Gilles & Chef Melissa’s cooking both at their cafe & at the market. I love getting their galettes made with fresh local ingredients, indulgent pastures and refreshing local drinks are a great bonus! A must stop if you are near downtown/ professional building.

Very friendly owner. The cinnamon buns are amazing. Right in the Professional Building down the hall from the medical lab. You will not be disappointed. Coffees and pastries for now. They do plan on expanding their food offerings once they see what people are looking for.
