Viva Panettone is crafting what might just be the city’s finest rendition of a notoriously challenging Italian delicacy. At the heart of their process is an unwavering commitment to tradition: organic fruits are candied in-house over 20 painstaking days, and each panettone demands 48 hours of meticulous preparation. Founders Éric Goeury and Anthony Daniele bring the precision of Olympic athletes and the soul of Milanese masters to every loaf.

Their crowning achievement, Le Signature, is a triumph of flavour—zesty candied citrus, plump sultanas, and rare vanilla swirl into a feather-light brioche. The dedication has not gone unnoticed: Viva Panettone represented North America at the 2024 Panettone World Cup in Milan.

From their Saint-Léonard headquarters to pop-ups in Laurier West and Old Montreal, this seasonal staple is a must-try, embodying the warmth, tradition, and festive joy of Italy in every bite.
