"A bakery known for its chocolate babka and other delicious pastries."
"Hof Kelsten is a contemporary Jewish bakery in Montreal, the creation of Jeffrey Finkelstein. It offers a blend of Jewish flavors and French techniques, with offerings like chocolate babka and an everything-seasoned bretzel." - Morgan Goldberg
"The chopped liver sandwich is one of several stellar options at Jeffrey Finkelstein’s Mile End bakery. The bread hits all the right textures and flavours, while the saltiness of the liver is offset by a healthy dose of sweet and tangy cabbage — a complex masterpiece." - Erinn Blicher, Eater Staff
"Chef Dan Geltner prepares a traditional Jewish meal every Friday night; for Passover, he’s getting a menu ready with matzo ball soup, charoset, brisket, and apple matzo cake. Keep watch of the bakery’s Instagram page for further details and additional menu items." - Ivy Lerner-Frank
"Jeffrey Finkelstein makes a special Friday night meal each week, but you don’t have to be Jewish to love it: from chicken to beef to lamb or fish, the choice changes every week and sells out quickly. The meal feeds two generously and includes a weekly dessert and one of the bakery’s renowned baguettes. Get some chicken soup with matzo balls if it’s been that kind of week; they say it’s good for the soul." - Ivy Lerner-Frank
