Inside was lovely and was a mix of a cafe and a shop with a variety of items to check out. They range from postcards, to notebooks, spreads, candles, mugs, accessories, ice cream, chocolate (maples and matcha was soo good!) and so much more. We got croissants and cannelles (which i found a bit eggy and had a rum-like taste but still ate anyway) and also got iced lattes to go. Mocha was delicious and oatmilk latte was nicely done. Theres limited indoor seating but they also offer outdoor seating as well. bonus are their pleasant staff and that theyre right across the Notre Dame Church. Parking is hard to we had booked at a hotel nearby so it wasnt an issue for us at that time.

This review was long over due. I need to acknowledge the excellent experience I received from this…read morewonderful lady named Roxanne. She was absolutely helpful, patient and professional. I arrived at the Lafrenaie location inside the Roaster's which has its own entrance on Atwater Ave on my sister's birthday. Moreover, I was looking for a last minute cake. There were several options available but I needed assistance. All the while FaceTiming my mom and sending pictures of cakes to my brother in law, Roxanne waited and smiled patiently and even chipped in with recommendations. We finally came to an agreement and she offered to personalize the cake and asked me if I was going to eat it that evening or the next day because the strawberries would be frozen . She went in the back and replaced all the frozen berries on top pf the cake for fresh ones so that we could enjoy it the same day. She went above and beyond and exceeded my expectations. This whole experience was totally 5 STARS !!!!

Can you say DIVINE? Oh my goodness this is a must try in Montreal. Are the pastries a bit pricey,…read moreyes. But, these are not your average baked goods, they represent years of a craft that has been perfected over time. The service here was amazing. The staff were more happy to walk me through their offerings and recommend a few fan favorites. The shop is also beautifully designed. Very modern with an upscale feel. Every pastry that I tried here was just perfection. No notes, simply divine.

But if you're looking for some food items to potentially gift of even try. Definitely a spot to check out.

What a wonderful experience I had at this Pâtisserie Mahrousé's downtown Montreal Rue de Montagne…read morelocation! We stopped by to pick up something for my trip back home to New York. 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!

TL;DR/The Short Version: Tasty kunafe. Eat-in would have…read morebeen better, but takeout was still good. Really pretty bakery, but not a lot of seating. 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)
