Thank goodness they had small sizes because we had to try it, but we barely had any room. We really didn't know what we were eating, but the front captured our attention right away. This was one of the rare cases where the good looks matched the taste. While it was delicious, it was only a couple of bites so the price doesn't quite match the number of bites, but those bites were delicious anyhow, which is why we're giving it four stars instead of five!

Exactly what I was hoping for when I spotted the insane chandelier...which was amazing coffee & high quality pastries. I was not one little bit disappointed. Their pastries are statuesque & I can tell you as a baker myself that was tasty bites. The coffee was impeccable & I wish I'd spotted the fact they won third place for next croissant in Montreal, or I certainly would have had at least two.

Aux Merveilleux de Fred, situated at the corner of Rue Rachel & Saint Denis, is a delightful bakery that transports you straight to Europe with its elegant atmosphere & exceptional desserts. Specializing in the Merveilleux-a delicate creation of airy meringues layered with whipped cream & coated with chocolate or other toppings-this bakery offers a truly unique & delightful experience. We came here initially knowing nothing about the Merveilleux, drawn in by the bakery's charming exterior & intriguing name. From the very first bite, we were captivated. The combination of textures-the crisp yet delicate meringue, the light, creamy filling, & the flavorful outer coating-was unlike anything we'd tried before. Delighted by our discovery, we've since returned several times, each visit as enjoyable as the first. The interior of the bakery is as much a treat as its desserts. The space is beautifully adorned with a touch of old-world elegance, featuring a grand chandelier & an open kitchen where you can watch the pastry chefs work their magic. At the back, a few small tables create a cozy spot to sit & savor the experience at a leisurely pace. The staff are warm, friendly, & eager to help, patiently answering questions & making thoughtful recommendations for newcomers like us. Aux Merveilleux de Fred doesn't just serve desserts-it offers a moment of indulgence that feels luxurious & special. If you're in Montreal & looking to try something both unique & unforgettable, this bakery is not to be missed.
