Chocolaterie Desserts & Sweets Pastries

Review Summary

Reviews of Lecavalier Petrone highlight exceptional quality and artistry across chocolates, pastries, cakes, and seasonal treats, with many noting consistent excellence and beautiful presentation. Long-time patrons describe a welcoming, professional team and a shop that generously supports community initiatives, with favorites such as Paris Brest, pistachio dulcey, dark chocolate araguani, and passion fruit caramel, often chosen as gifts or for special occasions. While the overall tone is overwhelmingly positive and the bakery is praised as a Montreal gem and a go-to for birthdays and holidays, there are occasional comments about online ordering and pickup logistics, cake portions not always aligning with expectations, and one dessert that fell short in balance. Craftsmanship, flavour, and the ability to elevate simple ingredients into refined desserts are repeatedly emphasized, reflecting a deep passion and steady skill that keeps customers coming back.View restaurant profile
