Maison Christian Faure - Old Montréal, Quebec

nice environment to sit down and eat. The tropical fruit-based desserts are amazing. The Mont Blanc seems to have too much alcohol? or the the alcohol didn’t vaporize enough, tastes a little weird.

Pretty French Bakery is nestled in the heart of view Montreal. Fresh baked goods croissants, pastries, macaroons are well crafted by the chefs. Illy coffee and cappuccino compliments the nicely. Breakfast menu is only available on the weekends.

charming little bakery with very kind and attentive staff! the sit-down brunch was fantastic and the pastries were also very delicious. i highly recommend trying their cakes, the chantilly cream hazelnut one was fantastic. the potatoes gratin were also some of the best i’ve ever tried. will definitely return for ... brunch in the future!

Famous French bakery from a legendary pastry chef, Christian Faure. This charming bakery offers many of my favorite pastries like Almond Croissants, macrons, chocolate croissants, napoleon pastry, and other sweets. The Almond Croissants were amazing, flaky and tasty. My wife had their chocolate croissant, she felt in love with the pastry. ... You can tell that the chefs here put a lot of love into making these pastries. Even though we didn't tried their macrons and napoleon pastries, from the look of them, we can tell that they should be very good. Coffee and hot chocolate were fantastic. I had a latte while my wife ordered her usual hot chocolate. The latte was very aromatic and tasty. The hot chocolate was rich but not overpowering the taste buds. The people of the cafe were very friendly. They patiently explained how each pastry is made and helped us to get the right drinks to match the pastries. The young lady who made the coffee for us happily took picture for us as she knew that most of the patrons like to have their pictures taken with the fascinating interior decor. The vibe inside the cafe/pastry shop is charming with French decorations. You can lose yourself here and feeling like been in a classic cafe shop in Paris. Read more

When I went there, there were two lines: one for people eating on the premises and another line to pickup your food. I was alone waiting in the pickup line for 10 mins and had to go and approach a wait staff myself in order to be served, whereas everyone ... who arrived after me would be served by the wait staff in the other line. At those prices and such reputation, with so many employees, well....better is to be expected from them. As for the cakes, they were Ok. Nothing to write home about (just generic tasting patisseries that look good, but that are not that special as far as flavours are concerned ). I had better French patisseries in Montreal. Read more
