I am so jealous that montreal has this. Basically, the world is missing out. You can tell how great a place is by the crowd/line that gathers and that you have to get a ticket once you get there. There are a few bakeries that are like this bc they make great bread/food (portos in cali and oakmont bakery in pitt). The wait was not long or probably did not feel long because I could not stop ogling and drooling over the bread, and pastry displays. I wanted to get everything!
My friends and I shared a few chocolatine aux pistaches, caneles, oh mon dieu and strawberry tart. They were all amazing!
My faves were: (1) chocolatine aux pistaches, the croissant itself was perfectly made and the filling too. My mouth is watering just thinking about it; (2) canele, it was like a custard flan with a crunchy burnt sugar shell almost tasted like a creme brulee but not too sweet. It was perfect! 3) strawberry tart filling was perfect and smelled so good! It came in a pretty box.
Lorenzo, who served us was friendly and efficient. He didn't mind that us americans couldn't pronounce the french pastry names but pointed to what we wanted instead. He also made my jasmin tea even after we already paid and he was helping others. I highly recommend this place if you're in montreal. I wish I brought some home.
