Pastries Middle Eastern Desserts & Sweets

Review Summary

Overall, Patisserie Al Sham earns praise for authentic Arabic desserts that feel handmade and fresh, with a display that makes it hard to choose just one item. Reviews note flavors that are balanced and not overly sweet, textures that reflect craftsmanship, and aromas that transport visitors to the heart of the Middle East. The staff are repeatedly described as friendly, welcoming, and happy to offer tastings and recommendations, contributing to a warm, consistent experience for regulars and newcomers alike. While some comments mention occasional variability in taste and value or moments of delay, the consensus remains that the pastries, from baklava and knafeh to maamoul and other sweets, are of high quality and worth seeking out in Laval and Montreal.View restaurant profile
