If you are in Quebec Basse Ville in Petit Champlain, it is worth a visit to Confiserie Madame GIGI. The sweets display is eye catching and certainly worth a picture or two. Better still, if you have a sweet tooth, you will not be disappointed. I definitely was not. I tried the black chocolate fudge on a stick and having consumed it while strolling on this busy street, I had to come back for 2 reasons. One: the price is quite affordable and two: the taste is somewhat unique that I then tried the nutty nougat. The size is big enough that I can share. I had every good reason to return back. So good. Perhaps, a tad too sweet. There are even some tables and chairs to sip and relax with a good coffee. Service is pleasant and fast. Great atmosphere and worth a visit. read more

The menu was a little bit confusing not gonna lie. However, staff were very nice and they explained everything. The food is as simple as it gets but it fills you up just right. The café is pretty small so come in just a pair lol otherwise I enjoyed it really much. read more

Cute patisserie, ice cream and baked goods purveyor on Petit-Champlain road, Quebec. There are a bunch of stores to choose from on this rue. Gigi's staff behind a counter had real politesse. They knew every item and gave real full helpings of ice cream too - making the Rebel Chef's day! A few tables. Great spot to relax a few minutes. Not much hot food. Review: 5 read more

We were very hungry when we found Mme Gigi and quickly ordered pastries and coffee. As we were eating, I noticed that they had maple croissants and we ordered one to share. Everything was delicious but that croissant was amazing. Service was excellent and friendly. Cute shop in a great location. We enjoyed our visit! read more

This place looks like it is run by kids...no joke! We thought this was "the place to be" for gelato. However, we were quickly proven wrong. The gelato was not very smooth in texture. One of the boys behind the counter dropped a bagel on the floor and was looking to see if the customer saw. He looked like he was going to continue using the bagel until I kinda freaked out and made a comment. The overall look of the cafe was old and dusty. There was a dusty desk fan hanging from the ceiling as well as spider webs. Unfortunately I noticed all this after we ordered and paid...and ate. read more

I took my sweet tooth with me from New York City to Québec City, Canada! Gelato galore with lots interesting yet weird flavors, a small cup is CAN $3.50. It's just right as it's not too sweet or bland. A lot of their gelatos have nuts, which I am not a big fan of nuts. read more

First of all, the atmosphere was amazing. It seemed like a candy store with all the colors. Next, the lady was very nice to me and my family and gave us our ice creams practically right after we made our order. And last, but definitely not least, the ice cream was amazing. I got raspberry and lemon, and the raspberry reminded me of the ice cream in Poland. read more

Madame Gigi - a cup of cappuccino on a table - Desserts Near Me - Quebec City, Quebec

It got gelato and affogato and other things, a large enough range of selection, so for me it's fun to visit.

The gelato here isn't bad, but it's not the best. With that in mind, it's a sure bet to satisfy your sugar craving when you're in the area. Overall this place looks q bit dingy and in serious need of a good cleaning. The server seemed a bit rude and not to eager to help customers, but I'll chalk that up to a long day of dealing with tourists. read more

We were lured in by the macarons in the window. Not sure about the other desserts, but I give this place four stars! One for each of the 4 varieties of macarons we tried - White Chocolate, Cafe, Cherry and Strawberry! I enjoyed the cafe maroon the best. read more

Delectable macarons and good people-watching in Old Quebec. Cases of colorful confections on display and various types of gelato. Madame Gigi's looks exactly how one would picture a shop in QC to look. Macarons were well executed with the right amount of chew. I tried: Blueberry Raspberry Port Wine (my favourite...it had a noticeable port flavour that wasn't overly grape-y) The bf had some pineapple gelato that was delicious but small in portion. I tried and enjoyed it but was too fixated on the macaron to pay much attention. read more

This little place while walking along Petit-Champlain was such a nice find. It was the sign that got me to stop and look at this cafe. I was charmed by the quaintness of the store front and when I caught a glimpse of various delectable treats through the glass I popped in. I went in when it wasn't very busy and the staff here were friendly and understanding when I wanted to take a good look at the sweet items. The macarons and the gelato caught my attention and that what's I had for a nice break from the stroll. The Gateau Fromage and the Praline were soothing and so was the cool blue colored Barbe A Papa was also tasty. I highly recommend anyone to stop in at this cafe while exploring Basse-Ville and the Quartier de Rue-Champlain read more

I had the pistachio gelato and it was so good. My husband and I shared and we finished the whole thing and could have had more. We loved the fact that it had actual pistachios in it and big ones too. It made it taste real and crunchy. read more

I had the croissant sandwich with egg and cheese it came with vegetable soup and cafe lait for 1.00$ more. Everything was amazing!!!! I also ordered a pastry with dates (i forgot the name) it was delicious! Everything here is homemade which i really liked as well. It's clean and cute. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. read more

Very cute chocolate shop in old Quebec! They have a huge variety of individual chocolates, macarons, and other chocolate products. They even have food, and some patrons were sitting down in-store to eat. I purchased a chocolate pizza to bring back as a gift, and it was wrapped beautifully. It did not taste too sweet! read more

I am a big fan of gelato. Usually when I go to Europe my trips involve strolling down a busy street eating gelato and this is no different... ok fine it is North America not Europe but you get the idea. You like Gelato, you should visit. that simple. read more

We got a hot chocolate that was perfect after walking in the snow. They have a wide variety of desserts, sweets and chocolates and also a lunch special. Is a very cosy shop And the staff is the reason I'm giving this place 5 stars, the lady that attended us today was the friendliest person ever and her actitud of happiness and smile to everyone just made me so happy. read more

Cute and nice dessert store and coffee shop. Attractive location. Very small. Very crowded. May be better to order to go. Macaroons are wonderful. Coffee tastes good. read more

What doesn't grab your attention here! I opted for the lemon sorbet on a warm sunny afternoon and wow it didn't disappoint! Tart w the small kind of sweet, cool goodness! I restrained and did not par take in the chocolate but wish I had! read more

My wife and I came here for a late breakfast. The guy behind the counter was friendly and attentive, but the food was not that great. The chocolate croissant had the consistency of dry toast, rather than being crisp and flaky. It actually made the roof of my wife's mouth raw from being so hard. The latte was also weak and not even as good as the self-service machine in our hotel. The egg, cheese, and ham sandwich was fine, just very average, but was at least edible. Overall, we were hoping for something delicious in Quebec City, but were very disappointed. My opinion is that they have some young people working there that try to do a good job, but do not care as much about good food. read more

Quaint atmosphere. Hot chocolate made with water (powder in a pouch); eclairs and macaroons were old and stale. We both took one bite and tossed them out. We only drank our hot chocolates to warm up. We were disappointed with the lack of quality and expense for same. Service was underwhelming. Wouldn't recommend. read more

Very cute place family's owned. Wonderful people and great for a brunch. Freshly baked goods and chocolate and cookies. Love the small but family like atmosphere. read more

This place is a little gem! Their lunch special of soup, sandwich and coffee for just under $12 is what brought us in the door. Our server was so friendly, she made us feel right at home. The homemade cream of carrot soup was one of the best bowls of soup I've ever had, and I also enjoyed a roast beef sandwich on a homemade croissant and a warm cup of maple tea. They have plenty of desserts and gelato; we took some macarons to go which were a great price and delicious. Super cozy little place with great staff and great food! read more

Nice little place for gelato at the end of rue Petit-Champlain in Basse Ville (lower town). Stop in a get the medium size, but ask for 2 scoops and try 2 different flavors. Then, sit outside at the small table and watch the tourist and shoppers walk by. read more

I adored Mme Gigi's confiserie. Oddly enough, there was none of the gelato mentioned by the other reviewers--perhaps they only have it in the summer? What drew us in was the colourful display of chocolates for Paques. The chocolates we tasted were so good we ended up going most afternoons for a bol de latte and a sweet, and my mother purchased eleven chocolate bears to take home to people as souvenirs! The woman who worked there was unfailingly sweet and smiling. read more

Nice Hot Chocolate and amazing Nougat! Very friendly place. Small but lots of dessert options.

It was a cold, wet afternoon, so the thought of a rich hit chocolate enticed us into this attractive little place. Unfortunately the hot chocolate eas was very disappointing. It was vaguely chocolate flavored hot water. The best I can say was that it was hot. read more

There's so many delicious cafes and patisseries in Quebec, don't disappoint yourself by going in here. I ordered a rolo cupcake which in the display was covered in rolos, mine arrived without a rolo in sight. I asked the waitress about this and she just said "we haven't got any", erm...well it isn't a rolo cupcake then! Dry and miserable cakes. The best thing about here is the sweet boy who works behind the counter. read more
