    I noticed this place on a recent visit to Montreal and was excited to find out they opened up in Toronto. So ordered the namesake item (marvelous) and brioche with chocolate chip for delivery. Unfortunately the benchmark item I use to determine a bakery croissant wasn't available. Marvelous is decent with a light texture and good taste. Will probably order it again. Brioche didn't fare well. Very bland and not rich in taste something unexpected from a brioche imo

    Types of meringue in the pack

    Well I got a GC for Xmas for this place and all the reviews I read said you must try their meringue dessert so for $24.50 you can get a 6 pack sampler box. That and their brioche is good. I ordered 1 plain as they were out of raisin. Anyways the meringues did not disappoint if you like crunchy meringue and soft mousse, you'll love these almost melt in your mouth slightly crunchy delights. I would definitely recommend! Though not cheap!

    The desserts are tooooo good . The sandwich is okay (for me) lol . The desserts are super fresh , melts jn your mouth . There is a big variety so choose . I got the coffee flavour, with a coffee . The sitting area is not too big but it doesn't small, very clean and vibrant atmosphere.

    Happened to be going past thru this corner for TIFF & their beautiful food display and cafe decor caught my eye. So happy for my full stop because their mini sandwiches (bunwich?) are absolutely delightfully delicious! I went for their smoked salmon, chicken curry and goat cheese minis and ALL were great (I favoured the 1st two). And when we made our return after our movie, we went for the pair of their ultra light dessert of mini cream covered meringues. What a pleasant unplanned treat! I still think about those mini sandwiches... so it's guaranteed I'll return to one of their locales ( find me on Instagram via @aida.loves )

    We were passing by when my husband saw the sandwiches from the large windows and wanted to grab a late lunch. He got the chicken curry sandwich, which he said was a flavourful fusion with the tomato. It was a prominent but not overwhelming curry, with a very creamy texture. Our daughter picked out the colourful merveilleux. This was our first time trying these French cakes, and I originally thought they were truffles. They were light and flavourful. The cafe is beautiful, very modern and chic decor, the enormous chandelier. Service was prompt and friendly. It's a shame they don't have free wifi, it would be a lovely place to grab lunch while working.

    Still love their meringue. Not a huge fan on their overly sweet and cold almond chocolate croissant though. Raisin buns are good. Really nice staff. Solid spot.

    Coffee merveilleux and smoked salmon roll

    Popped in here for a little snack while walking around. Ordered a mini smoked salmon and dill cream sandwhich and a coffee merveilleux (sp?) which turned out to be a tower of crispy outside and soft inside meringue with crunchy toppings. Logistics: - indoor seating only; if you plan to eat here perhaps set your bag on your table before ordering to save a spot in the busy cafe! - limited street parking nearby but very transit accessible - vegetarian options; not sure if meringue is GF or not

    Ordered the chocolate and raisin brioche to go. Very packed on a cold Sunday afternoon. The chocolate was dark I believe and was not too sweet. The brioche was fluffy as well and not overly buttery.

    Loved this place! Pure decadence! little bites of sweetness in different flavors! All of them were blissfully crafted!

    I've walked past this place many times, and today I went in for my lunch break. There are a number of sandwich options all on the same bread and cut in half. I got the smoked salmon sandwich, which came on a really soft, slightly sweet milk bun with herbed cream cheese, cucumbers, and smoked salmon inside it was a little bit on the pricier, your side for what it was but still a really delicious sandwich overall. I was pleasantly surprised with how soft and delicious the bun was. The inside had their pastries and sandwiches on display with some tables and seats around the restaurant and the staff was nice.

    I've been walking past this place since they opened a few years ago and I finally decided to try some of their pastries. Unfortunately it was hugely underwhelming. The croissant seemed like it had been sitting for hours and the lamination was not the best. It reminded me of Costco croissants. It's often very busy and there's no room for sitting. The cashier was very quick and not the most friendly. I might try some of their other desserts but probably not anytime soon.

    We saw this shop while walking to the art museum and just had to stop for pastries! We got the chocolate cramique and the Vergeoise waffle. The paper thin waffle was filled with melt-in-your-mouth brown sugar butter rum. We loved how the pastries and decor were elegant and upscale. The shop was bustling, filled to the brim with people, and it's easy to see why. Staff was very friendly and willing to answer questions. -@cophiescrumbs on insta

    L'incroyable

    The ambiance feels upscale but also casual; it adds to the whole experience! I didn't know there were only three locations in existence but since we were nearby, we had to try it out. I believe we got the incroyable to try out as well and it's light, fluffy, airy, sweet but not too sweet. You'd think this would be so dense but it was quite the opposite. I could see myself eating a couple of these without any fatigue from the sweetness. I wish we tried the other ones! It's amazing that even the turkey sandwich was good too. The bun was similar to the chinese ham and egg bun but much better. The bun was also airy and light which combined with the turkey and other fillings, made each bite so satisfying.

    My wife wanted to go there so we went on 2023-01-31 mid-morning when there would more selection…read more They definitely have quite a selection of pastries and savoury food. My wife always judges a French Cafe by their Butter Croissant ($3.00) and she liked it! She also noticed all the  staff speak French sp it gives it even more legitimacy.  She also ordered a Flat White ($4.50) which was also good. I ordered a Plum Almond Tart ($7.25) because it was the prettiest. It was super delicious so it was definitely a good choice! Service was courteous and friendly. You place your order at the counter and bring it to your table. Someone will come around to clear the dishes when you are done It is a great place to have a nice casual time eating and socializing. They make all their food in-house in the basement. There are products for sale such as coffee beans, fruit syrup, maple syrup, smoked sauces, olive oil, scented soap, wine glassware, etc. I will definitely come back again to try other items. There is free WiFi. The neo-bisto is not wheelchair accessible since there are stairs leading up to the entrance. There are two gender-neutral washrooms. There is free street parking on their one-way south-bound street. Review 2023-017

    Amazing place! I…read morecalled ahead to find out if they had this plum tart I purchased the first time I was there. Yet no one answered the phone. No problem. Hopped on my bike and a half hour later I was there. The friendly staff helped me by answering my question regarding eggs and which items did not have any in the recipes. This place was also super poppin' when I got there. It was earlish in the day around 10:30am and it seemed all the tables were pretty much taken. They are adding a dinner menu which is very exciting. Their pastries are phenomenal!!! Picked up a plum and pistachio tart, a chocolate mousse cake and an apple Danish for my mom. Plus a chocolate caramelized croissant. So much butter, and yet so good. Brought my container, which they happily used. The last time I visited this spot back in 2022, I vowed I would come back and take up space in that beautiful bay window seat. Yet I haven't followed through with that yet. One day. They also changed the name, since I was there last it was called Le Conciliabule Lab. Le Conciliabule means, "speak easy", as their website says. It was used back in the day to describe a place where people would come together and talk about everything and nothing. I can definitely say that happens here. What a beautiful concept, "everything and nothing". Now named Bisou, which means kiss. That's actually really simple and sweet. Since every pastry and any food item or beverage enjoyed here is a kiss for your tastebuds. Love it. Keep going team. You are amazing!
