    Waffles and French toast in brunch buffet.
    Sam A.

    I was conflicted on the rating I wanted to give. I'd say it's like a 3.5. My review is based on the brunch buffet and 2 takeaway bakery items. Showed up about 10 mins late for our 9am reservation on a Saturday and the place was dead. There was only one other couple that was already there. The buffet was overwhelming but also gave nothing at the same time lol. Once you are settled in and go back a couple times, you realize there aren't that many things to choose from, well, for me personally. I made a dumb decision and got way too many croissants in the beginning when my bf and I should've halved them. The main reason for coming is that I wanted to try all the croissants. They kinda all fell flat for me? The best one was probably the plain butter croissant. The other standouts for me would be: -tzatziki -focaccia bread -lasagna -watermelon The lack of identification of the food items made it hard. At one point I thought the spanakopita had shellfish cuz it tasted fishy. I asked an attendee and she reassured me it was just spinach. They had some tiramisu desserts which I had to try and I'm not sure if they make it themselves since it was a bit frozen in the middle. Maybe they do make it themselves and then freeze them? For $35 it was ok to try but I'd never go back. For some reason I thought there was a carving station with roast beef and stuff but there wasn't lol. On the way out I grabbed an almond croissant since the croissant I thought I was almond at the buffet ended up being chocolate almond, which I don't really like. Oh which brings me to my next point. There are signs everywhere saying "unconsumed food will acquire an extra coat". So I had to make sure to eat everything including the chocolate almond croissant which I didn't care for lol. Anyways, I grabbed an almond croissant and the viral circular pistachio croissant. Almond croissant fell flat. The filling kind of tasted like nothing. The round croissant was too dense and I don't even know why I wanted to try this so bad. Darn Instagram! Lol. The filling was not pistachio, rather a custard? If it was pistachio, I barely tasted it. The best part of the croissant was probably the pistachio white choc coating. I felt like a lot of Nord Lyon was hype and I'm a bit disappointed. I am willing to try a few more times but omg the 2 croissants I purchased at the end were $16 all together?! That's a lil crazy.

    Pistachio spiral croissant

    Ducked in here for a quick (decadent) snack. Ordered the spiral pistachio croissant with pistachio filling. It was pretty good, but with a few artificial notes of pistachio that were meh Logistics: - indoor and outdoor seating - limited street parking nearby but transit accessible - vegetarian options

    Weekend brunch buffet
    Linda L.

    ** This is a review of their weekend brunch buffet ** The brunch buffet is available everyday Saturday and Sunday between 9am to 2:30pm at $35 per person. I like the huge variety of food you get to try and they offer a good balance of sweets and savouries. It's a good way to get to try their most popular pastries like the jam filled croissants. They also have a salad bar, charcuteries, breakfast staples (bacon, eggs, sausages, pancakes), and French breakfast items (crepes, waffles, French toast). The staff is super friendly and they're always there to refill the trays, so we never had any issues with the food running out, and they routinely come over to clear empty plates as well. The space at the back for brunch buffet isn't too big, so definitely recommend getting a reservation, and they have some space to accommodate big groups as well.

    If you haven't already, make a reservation to try their brunch buffet! At just $39.99, you can indulge yourself in loads of mini croissants, breakfast items, charcuterie, mini desserts, and fresh fruits. They even have an omelette bar! A personal favourite is their cinnamon sugar waffle! There were mini pistachio and raspberry croissants available earlier in the day and a good, old pain au chocolat is always delicious. The mini croissants were the perfect size!

    Assortment from Brunch buffet
    Yoland E.

    We tried the weekend brunch here, which was discounted at $40 (down from $50) in September. I think $40 is still a bit too steep for the quality of the food offered during the brunch, which is mediocre overall. The ambiance was nice and lively, though a bit crammed. As for the food, the standout for me was cinnamon waffles and the chocolate croissants. To be honest, it would be better to just try some of the pastries they have in the front, as their buffet would be more expensive and leave you full but underwhelmed. One last note is that they did not label any of the dishes in the buffet, which knocks off one star.

    Very high quality pastries and great presentation, and the price reflects that. Lots of variety! We stopped by in the early afternoon. We got a filled cronut of sorts and the almond croissant. Both we well made, but I could tell they were not the most fresh. Also, I prefer my almond croissant to be more sweet. Maybe I would have a better experience if I came earlier in the day. If I came back I would try their other items.

    Front Presentation
    Gary M.

    July 5/2023: Schnitzel & Layla. We drove all the way to here from Brampton for this experience. It was a beautiful presentation from this French Bakery but that seems to be where it came to an end. The front service was done by a server that seemed a little snooty. The food quality was simply not there. The danish's were tasteless & lacked the custard filling. The chocolate topping on the eclair wasn't even real tasting to me. Having been in the chocolate business for years...I KNOW what real chocolate taste like! The French baguette was ok but it was small for a $5.99 price tag. I'm disappointed. When I found this on Instagram I was hoping to get a great tasting Cronut, but NOPE, this is not the place to get it. They've clearly cut corners in their production & the taste of the product shows those cuts. This is definitely NOT a do over for me.

    Chocolate Eclair
    David Y.

    Got a chocolate eclair, choux cream, and a box of 6 macarons. Loved how stuffed the eclair was with smooth chocolate cream, and how overflowing the cream was in the choux. While I would have liked the macarons to have been a bit less sweet and have more flavours, they were still pretty good. Service was quick and friendly. The space is well lit and has a welcoming vibe. Can see why this is a popular place.

    a plate with a dessert on it
    Alekhya M.

    We always pass by Nord Lyon but this is the first time we stopped by and got something here. The little treat we got here had caramel, hazelnut and chocolate flavors. Every bite had a delightful crunch and buttery flavor which we couldn't get enough of. But it does come at a price. This little tart is about $8. But this gives us motivation to try more here. The service was quick like you'd expect in a bakery and ambiance is pretty simple.

    Berries danish, pistachio croissant wheel, iced latte
    Kristen P.

    We wanted to check out their halal weekend AYCE brunch but unfortunately the queue was too long so we opted for some pastries & coffee instead! We tried their croissant wheel and berries danish which were both superb. The croissant had the perfect light pistachio creme filling with the perfect crispy croissant exterior. The pastries are great from our first visit. The service was first offered in French which explains how authentic this place is! When we ordered in English, they adjusted accordingly. We will definitely be back to try the brunch & other pastries!!

    Breakfast buffet
    Samah I.

    This absolutely rocked my world. I usually keep my expectations low because every time I have them remotely positive I'm let down but this fully exceeded my expectations. First off, any meat options are halal, and secondly it's all you can eat for 90 mins for only 30 CAD. UM what a STEAL. The sheer amount of options they have is overwhelming in the best of ways. There's a section where you can have your own French omelette made fresh for you upon choosing your ingredients. Then there's a little dessert section of puddings/little cakes. Then more sweet stuff like filled croissants, pancakes, and waffles. And then all the savory OH LORD. I wish there were labels on what's what because there was this one thing I tried with carrots broccoli in a thickened bechemel sauce and baked with cheese on top and it was absolutely divine. Their focaccia was AMAZING, soft, fluffy, and buttery. I would've been content to have just eaten that. Their zucchini eggs were so fluffy and melt in your mouth and paired with the focaccia, incredible. Now take a tiny bit of everything and don't get greedy because anything you don't eat you'll be charged for. So just sample everything first and then go back for more to make the most of everything. Make sure you make a reservation because they get packed and I can guarantee unless you come at 9 am you will not be able to walk in. My friends and I came for 9:15 which had its pros and cons. Pros, you get first dibs of the food and there's very few people there. Cons, your stomach will not be ready to eat this much. I'd definitely try coming later in the day after having a super light breakfast in the hopes of warming the stomach up in the morning to eat more later but I was absolutely pleased with my choice of time and the food. I look forward to the day I can return.

    @nord_lyon is one of the best brunch experiences.$30 for top-notch pastries, unlimited drinks, desserts and hot dishes... Tiramisu, pain au chocolat, shrimp soup, waffle

    Richmond O.

    Was gravitated into the store as from the outside it looked welcoming. All the pastries looked fresh and that's the climax of this review. Should have known I would be in a world of hurt since there was a lack of butter smell in the air but decided to go against my instinct and opted for a few pastries to go. Croissants looked flaky but was stale and more bread texture(similar to those cheap grocery store mini croissants in a bag). Muffins were as hard as a rock, surprised that these are even served to people. The donut was beyond greasy, left a puddle of grease on the bottom of the box. Definitely worth a visit to mentally avoid FOMO and know that you are actually not missing anything.

For drinks, we got hot chocolates, and they had one of the best hot chocolates I've ever tasted, and I'm not exaggerating. It was the perfect drink and taste to eat my dessert.

Their rolls and cakes are excellent, with plenty of cream, not too sweet. The cakes are beautifully glazed and decorated. The sweet potato cake is fluffy and light.

Other than whole cakes, they do have slices of cakes available and other mini desserts + a lot of macarons! We did request the shop to write HBD on the cake, but the staff said they are unable to do it at this location (not sure why, maybe don't have the proper tools?).

Ube flavour is mild not too overpowering, moist and fluffy cookie. Would recommend as well! - Spicy chicken empanada- buttery crust, soft and falls apart because the crust is so buttery!!
