Excited to see that increasingly ubiquitous consumer interest in Pistachio (and you can quote me "Pistachio is the New Hazelnut") with Dubai Chocolate has extended beyond what I've seen in New York and elsewhere to this small town, decided to Once entering this bright sweet treat café, the selection of Pistachio items included baked items, like Croissants, giant Ice Cream Sandwiches with Pistachio Ice Cream in giant Pistachio Macarons, and the beautiful L'Evanescence with (wow!) pistachio mouse and cookie along with raspberry cream! With my family's Sunday dinner reservation about 1 1/2 hours away, decided to keep it to a cold drink and ordering a Oat "Latte à la Pistache." The surprise ended up being that the person behind the counter, also master creator of all these totally exquisite delights, was award winning (and absolutely friendly) Pâtissière Sabrina Sigouin!! (That's Master Cake Designer for all us English speakers!) Since it's Sabrina's shop, it should be no surprise that La Belle Pâtissière is super on-trend featuring Pistachio! Should add, my Pistachio Oat Latte was amazing! (Thank you, Sabrina!) Only wish I had more time in Montebello to test out one of those giant Pistachio Ice Cream Sandwiches!!! Will have to save it to next time! That being said, if you're in Montebello, definitely recommend stopping by the sensational La Belle Pâtissière!!!

I was there 5 minutes after opening and was so disappointed! they only had two kinds of tarts (butter tart and pecan butter tart) a few kinds of cookies, one kind of bar and a few whole cakes. they had a cheesecake with a few slices left in it that looks dried up around the edges, one other pre sliced cake and a "day old" in the same case for sale. was quite strange and I chose not to get anything. I had been on their website and was ready to buy several things to try, I guess you have to pre-order them all as the only option? It was overall unappetizing and looked more like end of day display than fresh opening display. I even almost asked if what was on display was made today but just decided to leave.

My daughter and I were in Almonte for the Christmas Market, and wanted a quick lunch. We spotted…read morethis little place as we were coming out of the market venue and thought "why not". In we went. I am so glad we did this. It's very unassuming on the outside. Inside it's charming - while aspects of the tea room / restaurant are clearly made with current-day materials, you get the charm of past days with the china, real tea pots and display cases. It's very cute, the tea is excellent and it's a lovely spot to stop by as the days get colder. Like the decor, the food is also, in some ways current day like the rather modern special of the day (a bowl of rise with deliciously spiced chicken and bites of potato). But in other ways it harkens back to older ways with their delicious fresh baked goodies. One thing I appreciated: the servings were right-sized and the prices reflected it. Lunch for 2 with tea, dessert and a 20% tip (service was excellent) was around what I'd pay at a chain for a single meal alone.

On the recommendation of a young girl that we encountered en route to Almonte we decided to try this place with "great pies". It was so much more than that. Charming, quaint and friendly are words that come to mind. The owner and staff were funny and warm and their offerings were world class! We enjoyed fresh, handmade quiche, soup, salads and pie & cake that were to die for. My wife had the decadent butterscotch pie with 20 inches of merengue (slightly exaggerated) and I had THE BEST piece of carrot cake on Earth (no exaggeration). While dining we took up a conversation with a couple of locals who eventually took us on a tour of the town and even welcomed us into their home for a glass of wine. Truly a wonderful day.

After learning that the latter only accepted cash, I checked out Amore Gelato. There was a bit of a lineup, so I knew that it was a good sign. There was a mom in front of me with her kids. We had a nice chat after she specifically said to her kids that they'd get exactly one scoop of ice cream. "We can't have them go on a sugar high and crash," I said, smiling. "Exactly. I'm getting two scoops, though" she said, laughing. This joint offers options for everyone. You can get a variety of gelato flavours that are made fresh every day. Gelato has dairy in it. If you're like me and want a dairy-free option, sorbetto is a nice alternative. I had overheard the conversation between the woman behind the counter and a couple about to pay for their treats: "Is it cash only?" the woman asked. "No, that's the Crazy Moose. We accept all cards and cash," the female staffer said. One word: yes! This same female staffer helped me out with my order. I got the following sorbetto flavours in a cup: - Guava - Lychee I paid with a credit card. I also tipped, thankful that I could use plastic to pay. I thanked her and left with my frozen dessert. There were a handful of little tables with chairs inside the store, but they were all taken. Instead, I went out in the hot weather and found outdoor seating. Luckily, there is a rather large tree that provided a lot of shade. There was also a breeze, so I wasn't sweating buckets. I loved my sorbetto. The guava and lychee were reminiscent of having Vitasoy as a kid. I loved these flavours. They were captured perfectly in the sorbetto, which wasn't all that sweet. The sorbetto scoops were refreshing and enjoyable to consume on a hot July afternoon. There were pigeons that looked like they were innocently befriending me. They were actually waiting for me to make a klutzy move. If I had dropped my sorbetto, they'd feast. They never got any of mine. I finished all of it. So good! It was nice to people-watch as I had my sorbetto. If you have the time to stop and enjoy things in ByWard Market, come here for a scoop of yumminess and savour it. It's a great place. I'd return in a heartbeat. (310)

A second negative was the fact that they don't do free samples-- what if I don't like the flavour? Luckily, I did. It was amaretto, and the staff were friendly, which was another plus.
