Montreal-West, Westmount

Pastries Café Bistro Desserts & Sweets

Review Summary

Croissant Monkland is widely praised for its buttery, flaky croissants and a wide range of viennoiseries, with many calling it among the best in Montreal and in NDG. The bakery is known for fresh, high quality pastries such as almond croissants, millefeuille, Nutella croissants, fruit tarts and a variety of breads, and savory options like croissant sandwiches and paninis, plus good coffee. The atmosphere is warm and the staff are friendly and helpful, but the shop can get very busy on weekends with lines that can stretch to the door, and seating and washrooms are limited. There are occasional notes about hygiene concerns on a couple of visits, and some visitors feel the value is very good given the prices. Overall, Croissant Monkland is seen as a must visit for pastry lovers and a neighborhood staple.View restaurant profile

Review Summary

Overall, Pointe Claire Deli is celebrated as a cozy, neighborhood breakfast and lunch spot with a strong brunch reputation and generous portions, and many describe it as a homey, diner like place where the potatoes and other staples shine; the menu is broad, featuring items from huevos rancheros and breakfast benedicts to burgers and carrot cake pancakes, with several reviews calling the potato side the best in town and praising the fried chicken and other specialties; the atmosphere and service are praised when the staff are attentive, yet experiences vary with some mentions of slow service, long waits, and occasional presentation issues; accessibility and family friendliness emerge as a concern, with notes about lack of high chairs, a no stroller policy or strict rules around kids, small booths, and no changing tables, which can make visits with young children challenging; despite these hiccups, many patrons say they will return for the flavor, vibe, and overall value, and the place remains a standout option for brunch and lunch on the West Island.View restaurant profile
