Location: I guess it's considered Little Burgundy. The closest subway is Lionel-Groulx (orange line) and street parking is available.
The place: Spacious and clean with a simple, elegant decor. I really liked the layout - there's ample space between tables and you don't feel like you're being forced to have dessert with strangers.
The goods: Truth be told, the selection was somewhat limited for a Saturday. I went for the chocolate + café St. Henri cake, which was a cross between cake and mousse. I quite enjoyed this dessert - the mousse was super smooth and silky with the perfect amount of chocolatey flavor. The bottom of the cake was crunchy. What I appreciated most was that it wasn't sickeningly sweet and the portion was perfect - therefore, no difficulty finishing it! I also tried the home-made Chai latté and it was AMAZING. I think it was the best Chai latté that I've had in Montreal.
Service: Good.
Price point: For dessert and latté, I think it cost me about $10.
While I did enjoy Patrice, I still have a preference for Christian Faure. C-F has a much wider selection of pastries to choose from, and visually, no one in town beats the beauty of his 'designs.' Also, in terms of vibe, it just feels more like a pastry shop that one pops into for a luxurious dessert and coffee.
