Chez François – Plaisirs de Provence - Ottawa, Ontario

For the past two years, this hidden gem of a pastry shop has been my ultimate discovery in Ottawa. With their friendly service and cozy atmosphere, it's become my go-to spot for heavenly pastries that always leave me craving more. Their pastries are unrivaled; the croissants, crafted from imported French ... ingredients, rival those found in Europe. I'm grateful for the opportunity to savor such delicious treats right here in Ottawa, it's like having a taste of Europe close to home. Other pastry shops should take notes from them; their taste and quality set a standard that others should aspire to. Read more

We went there based on a recommendation from a friend on Instagram on a Saturday .. They had 3 types of pastry left and we ordered samplers of them all. The quality is next to none, and the taste is just wow! Leaving we wanted to take some more but they were all ... sold out by then… which is good for them, but I would have assumed that they should never run out. The store is clean but surely needs a makeover and more light and decor to make it more appealing. And perhaps a new sign! We pass by there weekly and we never noticed the place before ! Oh and they don’t do cold brew ! Still highly recommended Read more

Very clean Staff were lovely and kind. Literally gave service with a smile Most importantly, the croissants and pasteries were made with love Would come again!

Met one of the owners. Really friendly. Great items and selections. Got fresh pastries right out of the oven. Absolutely out of this world. Absolutely recommend and will come back for sure!

Beautiful place to visit if coming to Ottawa. Croissants were probably one of the best I’ve had, espresso tasted really good. Really nice owners. Can’t wait to be back!
