Reviewers describe Café Bazin as a charming Westmount spot with friendly service, a welcoming ambience, and pastries that are widely praised, including the Tout Choco dessert and the tigré cookie. Breakfast options such as croissant sandwiches and a traditional plate get good marks, and the matcha latte is refreshing, with many noting that everything feels homemade and reasonably priced for the quality. Some drawbacks appear, including shakshuka that is lackluster and a poached egg that is often overcooked, and a refrigerated smoked salmon bagel that did not satisfy. Seating can be limited for larger groups, though the summer terrace helps. Accessibility features like a ramp and attentive staff are appreciated. Regulars mention strong coffee and excellent service, and many say they will return and bring friends and family. The cafe is generally seen as a standout pastry and coffee spot, with recurring compliments about the ambiance, the value, and the dependable breakfast options.View restaurant profile

Reviewers describe VOVA as a cozy, well curated European shop with a strong selection of Russian and other former USSR products, including pelmeni, birch water, bread, and snacks alongside German items. The staff are consistently friendly and helpful, offering recommendations, bringing a basket, and helping plan occasions such as a Napoleon cake for a birthday and suggesting Russian drinks for a surprise party. Fresh pastries and cookies are highlighted as especially tasty, with butter cookies and a wild berry jam cookie a favorite, and many items noted as absolutely delicious. The space is a bit tight due to the breadth of offerings, and parking can be a challenge, with payments typically cash or debit only and no credit cards accepted. Overall, the shop is seen as a charming little gem for authentic European foods in Montreal, valued for its care, variety, and welcoming atmosphere.View restaurant profile
