Where can you find the best international pastries in Montreal?

Montreal offers a true haven for pastry lovers of all horizons. The city's cultural richness, shaped by communities from around the globe, makes it a culinary paradise.

And what better way to share a piece of home than in the form of a sweet treat? Through colourful window displays and enchanting aromas, these passionate artisans invite us to taste their corner of the world.

Are you ready for a sweet trip around the world without leaving Montreal? From rich Portuguese pastéis de nata to delicate Japanese cakes, crisp baklava and decadent tiramisus, follow us on a selection of the metropolis' finest international pastries.


Pâtisserie Mahrouse

9705 Boulevard de l'Acadie, Montréal, H4N 2W2

View More (514) 279-1629

With two locations in Montreal, one on de l'Acadie and the other downtown, Pâtisserie Mahrouse stands as the destination if you have a (very legitimate) craving for Middle Eastern confections. The house is renowned for its marvellous baklava, traditionally concocted with top-quality ingredients. They also serve all kinds of desserts, each more delicious than the last. Let yourself be tempted by their Basmah squares, Loukoum delights, Qashta ice cream, or the famous kunafeh. The latter's crispy pastry has recently become a sensation thanks to Dubai chocolate, which adds the crunch of the filling.
