    We wanted to eat a croissant (quaso!), so we went to a place called @lacroissanteriefigaro and we got a croissant. Or two. And they were magnificent. It's all in the butter and they get it right. Buttery, flaky heaven in a roll. We also loved the europeen vibe, the old chairs, cash register, ornamental coffee machine and the over vintage decor. And the fact that they serve alcohol and are open from 8am until 11pm makes it a rare type of establishment. Where they lose points for us however, unfortunately has nothing to do with their croissants. A detail but enough for us to remember it. If you're going to charge 4.25$ for a cup of tea don't serve "four o'clock" brand tea in a bag. Either do it properly or don't sell tea at all.

    The restaurant and the terrace are beautiful. A wonderful place to sit out and enjoy the moment by savoring some delicious bruschetta with a glass of Pinot Grigio. Service would be in low side grading. It was confusing if I should take a sit or I would be assigned to seat and do I order the food in the counter or do I get to order at the table. A waitress saw me, but she kind of ignored me initially. I had to walk to her and ask how this restaurant function ms. Finally, I was seated at terrace. My waitress (different one) came, my food came, which was excellent but I didn't get any utensils and napkins. I requested twice; between the first and second time the waitress forgot about it. Beside the beautiful restaurant and the food, the service was questionable.

    I've gotten a few pastries from this place before but I've never been to brunch. I was really satisfied with it. The pastries are ok, nothing amazing and their choices are pretty standard. The decor does make you feel like you're at a Parisian cafe and since I have no frame of reference to a real Parisian cafe, I'd say they did an ok job.The seating isn't comfortable everywhere. I think the best seats are the booths but those fill up quick for brunch. Ordered the croque monsieur and Adam ordered the burger with bacon and cheese. I thought the croque monsieur was lovely except the sauce had a hint of pepper which I don't like, but Adam loves. Adam's burger was really good. Great patty, cheese. and bacon. We ended up liking each other's meals more actually. I also ordered a chocolate milkshake and it had a great chocolate taste but the consistency was a bit too milky. It's a really nice place to have brunch. Same prices as most other places but a bit more quality.

    We came across this place when driving by and thank god we did. Super cute spot, very reminiscent of the little cafes in Paris . Decor is super nice and a great ambiance overall. Food is good, not amazing but definitely good enough. The only reason I give this a 4 and not a 5 is because it takes reallly long for your food to get to your table and also my bf (who is from Paris) ordered the croque Monsieur which he was super excited about but in the end didn't enjoy as much. It is supposed to be served in a regular square bread but instead was served on baguette , and he wasn't too pleased with that (changed the taste overall) Double chocolate croissant $5.95 (5/5) Chicken pesto sandwich with salad $13.95 (4.5/5) Croque Monsieur sandwich with salad $14.95 (1/5) Chicken pesto flammekeuche $10.95 (5/5) Chocolate mousse $7.95 (4/5)

    Terrible disgusting flatbread with bacon?!!!! Hahahha

    We ordered take out for this place based off of images they have on the internet of their food. Ordered the flamqueuche with bacon and onions and sour cream. Looked good on their photos. What I received was a complete embarrassment. I work down the street and everyone was laughing at it. When I called to tell them and replace it with something else, which he said sure to a Croque Monsieur. When my order was picked up by a co worker ( I am at work and it's pouring rain) 10 min later he was told he made me a ham and cheese instead! I told him I didn't want that in our conversation prior! This place is a waste of money and a disgrace to customer service. I want my money back!! Here are both photos of what they served me for 10 dollars! What a joke!

    Our Canadian Cousin brought us here for lunch. Street parking is pretty much your best option, but it was relatively easy for Sunday Brunch. A very tight space on the patios. They pack the tables in! Maybe Canadian personal space is closer than US personal space, but we were really close to each other. Our waitress was extremely patient with us and guided us along the menu. I had a tofu sandwich which was quite pleasing with a salad. Now mind you it wasn't stellar, but put me on a lovely street in Montreal in the summer with some decent food and I will give it four stars any day. I felt like I was in Paris. Great job!

    I got the regular croissants, croissants w/ chocolate & almond cream filling, and Trottoir aux pommes (Apple pastry). The croissants were warm, buttery, sweet, flaky, and crispy... so yummy!! And it goes very well with warm cup of coffee or tea :)

    Merci bien, dear Yelp app, for yet again leading me to an absolutely lovely place for breakfast. La Croissanterie Figaro was one of the few locations open early the Sunday morning of my departure from Montréal. With a few hours to spare before heading the airport, and having been locked inside for days at a conference, I was finally able to indulge my hobby of photography and took a nice long walk from downtown to Outremont, cataloging urban art and street life in pictures along the way. There were only a few other customers when I visited, and I took a nice little seat in the back near the window. At only eight or so on a Sunday morning, Outremont had barely begun to stir, but otherwise this place would be perfect for people watching. I did see several people out with their dogs, as well as some runners, and some running groups together, out in the drizzle of the gray late-November morning. It was rather wonderful, really. The coffee here is spectacular, as is the orange juice. YUM. I had the Tofu californien sandwich (see picture) for breakfast and, while it was quite delicious, I was not a huge fan of the bread. The salad it comes with can be substituted for assorted fruits during breakfast hours (although I stuck with the salad). I sincerely regret that I did not have a croissant here. But I gain weight at the drop of a pin, so I really have to be careful about things like that. I do feel that service was rather aloof and, although, I know better than to compare this type of bistro to its counterpart in the US, where the servers are likely to be at your elbow almost constantly, I was not able to get a refill of my water even once. But, apart from that, it's quite nice to be left alone to my thoughts as I enjoy a tasty meal. This is a delightful little spot, and I would visit again for sure.

    Breakfast is my favourite meal. I should eat it more on a regular basis. If I lived next to La Croissanterie Figaro, it would be a daily habit. On a weekend trip to Montreal, we were on the search for some good pastries and my friend did a fantastic job scoping this place out. A beautiful sunny Sunday morning meant brunch on the cafe patio, which sits on the corner of a quiet Montreal residential neighbouehood. Being here makes you feel like you're in Europe. Quiet and laid back. I ordered the brunch: freshly sqeezed orange juice, tea, fresh fruit, croissant and crepes with eggs, ham, maple syrup. The freshly baked croissant was buttery, crispy, flaky, filled with warm herbed ricotta cheese....MELTS in your mouth. The crepe is done the way it should be, cooked through, a little crispy not doughy at all...rolled inside is ham and egg. A little dip of maple syrup makes everything that much tastier. All this for $10. So delicious. Beyond comfort and would completely make me a morning person if I lived next door.

    Sometimes you want to be a braggadocio and take yourself out for a three course lunch of salad, flakey white fish in balsamic reduction and creme brûlée. This is the place. The cafe has brass and marble finishing and french classics playing in the background. I loved it but always felt hugely indulgent here. Or did I feel hugely sophisticated? I forget.... What a divine cafe.

    Yes, those two are also croissants. What a joke.

    This place used to be one of my favourite. But let me explain why it gets two starts. + Great ambiance, Parisian interior. From here on, all goes down the hill. - Horrible coffee. Even 3-star diners have better coffee than here. - We ordered two almond croissants and one regular croissant. Almond croissants were two fingers wide! (It looked more like a rolled crepe than a croissant) Seriously, if anybody reading this review would try baking croissants they will probably obtain a better shape than them. - The almond pate was not tasty at all. When you order an almond croissant you expect to taste it when you bite it. But it was more like a hide-and-seek with the pate. You can say, "oh, c'mon. It's just a croissant." Well, the place is called Croissanterie! They are so behind the game. I suggest them to try Regal Matinal, Hof Kelsten or Myriade - 2's croissants to learn how it should be.

    Bonjour Breakie @ La Croissanterie

    What a gem! This lively corner cafe and croissant house in Outremont was my first pit stop for breakfast, after spending a long night on a bus traveling from Toronto to Montreal. I had met up with a friend, who was also visiting the city and staying nearby, had made breakfast in this beautiful place part of her morning ritual. Seeing the lovely terrace wrapping around the building, the Parisian decor, the red and yellow flowers surrounding the terrace, I easily understood why she loved this place so much. It has a very relaxed atmosphere: no one rushing you to eat quickly and pay up right away. Here, I felt we could take our time enjoying our coffees while basking in the sun and lazily watching the world pass us by. I also believe that since we were visiting during the week, we were able to get a spot on the terrace; I can imagine this place being slammed on weekends. For my first meal of the day, I opted for the Bonjour Croissant, which is basically an open-faced breakfast sandwich, with eggs, tomatoes and cheese on top of a butter croissant. The order comes with fresh fruit, coffee and freshly squeezed orange juice. Everything was delicious, leaving a permanent smile on my face as it was nice way to start to my day. As for the servers not being able to speak English well, all of the servers were able to communicate with ease, judging from my friend's experience who only spoke English to them. As for my experience, I'm able to speak French so I happily practiced my native tongue with them. I have to share with the same sentiment as Yelper Stas Z mentioned previously. If someone is working on the technology to transport one's self from one place to another, please do it soon. A morning without enjoying a coffee at La Croissanterie may not be worth living.

    We tried Olive first but it's closed for holiday! A long way from old port, but really worth it! We tried four different croissants, all fabulous! My favourite is cream almond one! The decor is amazing and our waitress was glad to speaking English( I had to say that I studied the menu for quite a long while, lol)

I was intrigued, and since I can always go for some carbs I decided to head in and check this place out. Unlike most bakeries I visited, Boulangerie Guillaume has a much more modern look, and is larger than a standard bakery. Walking in, I was immediately greeted by stairs which led up to the main production area. All of the bakes were arranged on the back-wall perimeter of the space separated from the pedestrians by a glass wall. The color scheme was mostly black to contrast the bright yellow of the bags and signage. The arrangement of the bakes, combined with the color scheme and modern aesthetics, resulted in a stunning, visually striking presentation. I wasn't too hungry, but I can always go for some sweets and their date square looked good. I went with that, along with a cappuccino. The square was delicious - the dates were high quality, and the crust underneath was moist while maintaining its integrity. The cappuccino was also good, a great complement to the bake. Service was efficient, and overall I had a great experience at Boulangerie Guillaume. I definitely want to return to explore more of their menu - I noticed they had some savory items so perhaps for some lunch. Definitely one of the best bakeries I visited in Montreal.

While this storefront located in the middle of office buildings, when you walk inside the absolutely beautiful decorations remove you from the urban hustle and bustle. The other Pâtisserie Mahrousé location is the original, dating back to 1970 when it was started by a Syrian pastry chef. Was eager to try their fatayer, savory pastries. Surprised to learn that they didn't sell here single, individual Fatayers, I was extremely happy the super friendly staff allowed me to mix and match to make it a pack of 6! (My choice of Fatayers included the delicious Tomato with Olives, Spinach, Cheese and round Za'atar!) Before pulling away, my brother and his wife decided to join me inside. The welcoming people behind Pâtisserie Mahrousé's counter encouragingly offered us tastings of their delicious sweets. One was a Kunafeh sweet cheese pastry, another similar to a nut filled Baklava. Their mouthwatering sweet treat selection was impressive. (Note - Many traditionally incorporate pistachios, on trend since as I've repeatedly noted "Pistachio is the new Hazelnut!") We were able to truly relax in Pâtisserie Mahrousé's comfortable window seating with brass tables facing the well designed interior instead of the modern surroundings. An effective, well thought out layout! While my brother ordered an espresso, I tried their flavorful, thick Arabic coffee. It achieved an unanticipated moment of zen for us all! Would recommend here for anybody interested in a delightful sweet or savory bite! Looking forward to my next time in Montreal when I plan on making the original Pâtisserie Mahrousé location a stop on my trip!

The Long Version: My husband and I were flaking in our hotel room after walking around all day (15km). I then had a hankering for some dessert. I did a quick search online and found this Middle Eastern bakery only 400m from our hotel room. So we headed there. The bakery is very pretty. I loved the chandeliers and painted walls and ceiling. There's a limited amount of seating, but we planned on bringing it back to our hotel anyway. Upon entering we were offered a small sample of their cream kunafe with shredded phyllo. It was very tasty. I debated getting a large piece of it, but decided to stick with my original plan which was a piece of their cheese kunafe. It was $8.50. I got it heated up. Unfortunately by the time we got back to the hotel it had cooled down a bit and the cheese wasn't as pully, lol. So my cheese pull photos are not as impressive :( Nonetheless, the kunafe was delicious. I think it would have been even better had we eaten it there. Next time! Review #74 (2025)
