Reviewers describe Boulangerie Chez Fred as a busy, high-quality bakery where bread and pastries are consistently fresh and reasonably priced, with butter croissants and chocolatines frequently highlighted as among the best in Montreal. The atmosphere leans toward a grab-and-go cafe rather than a place to linger, and the service is described as friendly and efficient even during rush hours. While most feedback centers on strong quality and variety, a few reviews note changes over time or less satisfying items, including some pastries or coffee, and a few visits feel disappointing compared with earlier experiences. Positive mentions include galette des rois, kouign amann, baguettes, and a wide range of viennoiseries, with online ordering or arriving early recommended since popular items can sell out. Overall, the bakery is seen as a standout in the neighborhood with loyal patrons and consistent offerings, even as opinions about consistency over time vary.View restaurant profile

Pastries Desserts & Sweets French Bakery

Review Summary

Reviews of Pâtisserie Maison Mallet Île Bizard mix strong praise for fresh, high quality French pastries made on site with authentic ingredients and a warm family atmosphere in a charming new location, with croissants highlighted as excellent and service described as superb. However, some desserts show flaws such as Paris Brest with overcooked choux and burnt almond toppings, and items that tasted too sweet or had a coconut flavor that was almost non existent, and a mint meringue that was considered odd. Accessibility was raised by one reviewer who could not access the shop, leaving a family member in the car. Prices are sometimes perceived as high for what is offered, leading some not to return, although others consider the quality and wedding cake services worthwhile. Overall the sentiment recognizes the shop's ambition and craft, with many noting on site production and quality that makes it worth a revisit.View restaurant profile

Review Summary

At Boulangerie La Notre, pastries are praised as excellent and always fresh, with sandwiches and salads just as tasty and the couscous salad described as a real delight, while service is impeccable and guests are welcomed with smiles. It is considered a place worth discovering and a detour for non locals, with fresh, delicious products, culinary discoveries, and friendly, warm owners. A helpful staff member accommodated dietary needs for a son with autism during the ordering, and suggested serving the cake at room temperature to enjoy the buttercream at its best. The cakes are described as heavenly with generous cream between the layers, and a small candle was offered. Moroccan biscuits and croissants are highlighted along with superb pastries and excellent cakes, and the overall experience is shaped by kind owners and strong recommendations.View restaurant profile
