Review Summary

Boulangerie Patisserie Montebello presents a mixed picture from diners: the service is praised for attentiveness while some regret that the chef or owner chats with friends and criticizes other shops, which can dampen the visit. Quality is uneven: the tomato pizza is excellent and the pistachio cake is delicious, but other pizzas, croissants and several pastries are not as good. The potato and onion pizza is very tasty. Desserts like the belle bûche de Noël and the pistachio cake stand out, and the venue is noted for event catering. Overall, there are standout items and a friendly staff, with recommendations focused on the pastries and desserts.View restaurant profile
