Patisserie Chouquette is the one spot in QC that truly rocked my world. I went three days in a row…read more(on my 4 day trip) and they were consistently amazing.
It gets quite busy during the day, but they are always replenshing and baking fresh pastries and chouquettes. It is a cute, small cafe with seating, wifi, and water. There is no restroom. It is an open kitchen concept where you can see the staff making the pastries!
You must try their choux/chouquettes! They rotate the flavors everyday. Here is everything I tried:
1) Choquette: I got a plain one for 50c, and it was light and airy with a nice sweet sprinkle of sugar on top. A great choquette.
2) Earl grey blueberry choquette: Same texture as the unfilled, but stuffed with a blueberry compote that adds a fresh tangy, tart flavor and an earl grey cream that is floral and fragrant. So delicious and the pairing of flavors worked well.
3) Chocolate raspberry choquette: This inside filling I liked less than (2), but still pretty good. The chocolate is rich and follows the same texture as the earl grey cream. The raspberry compote again is tart, fresh, and true raspberry.
4) Blueberry Scone: I enjoyed this. It is huge, and the edges are always the best part. A nice hard sturdy crust with a sprinkling of sugar. Nice blueberries throughout too! The only thing is that the middle is a bit too bready for my liking, but nothing major so I'd still recommend this item to try.
5) Chocolatine: It is a nice croissant, but nothing special in my opinion. The chocolate is nicely soft and melted though, which I appreciated since many chocolatine come with a cold hard chocolate rod inside.
6) Pistachio Strawberry Choquette: Another amazing bite, I love the pistachio cream though I wish there were more of it. The strawberry compote overpowered the pistachio cream, so there was too much strawberry too little pistachio
7) Iced Matcha: It comes unsweetened so you can ask them for either brown sugar or maple syrup. Honestly, I do not recommend the matcha. It was quite...not good..to be frank.
8) Iced Strawberry Matcha: This was not better. Still wouldn't recommend this.
