| - Thanks to Yelp, I'd bookmarked this sweet shop so we could be sure and try it. After eating lunch on our first day in Montreal, we stopped by here since it was just a few doors down.
***The Trifecta of Sweet Tastes while in Montreal***: Brownie, Fondu, and a Crepe.
1st Sweet in Montreal: Le Banatella. Yep, your guessing right, a homemade, fresh as a baby's powdered butt, banana and Nutella brownie with crushed hazel nuts sprinkled atop. Rich, creamy brownie. Somewhat soft and gooey because of the mashed banana mixed is. It's real, folks. Stop pinching yourself. Instead of wasting time, just get a second one.
2nd Nite's Visit: Fondu for two. I forget the name of the dish, but was their milk chocolate with hazelnut cream and crushed hazelnuts sprinkled on top. The wooden board is chuck full of fresh, juicy sweet fruits. And of course the chocolate stayed warm and a perfect liquid consistency. If it were up to me, I'd of just drank the damn stuff straight from the bowl. Jhezzz, the things we do so others can partake in your Ecstasy.
Third and Final Visit : I tried one of their crepes (you didn't really expect me to pass up those dreamy desserts?). The Tuxedo Crepe: Warm, thin, fluffy pancake with there cheesecake cream sauce, milk chocolate drizzle, and homemade brownie chunks. Rolled that bad boy up and sliced off bites of pure bliss. The 70% dark, 55%, and 30% milk chocolates used here are the real deal.
According to Yelp, there are 3 J&Cs around Montreal. This one is closer to the UQAM campus life, and smaller, too. But so freaking quaint! Why doesn't Columbus have a chocolate cafe? I mean! The servers were all wonderful. Life in Montreal is all about the experiences, so sitting and chatting over coffee for hours is no absurdity. We were never rushed, even though there seemed to always be a line at this locale. This establishment is so Parisian, and so welcoming. I can't wait to come back!!
