Our boutique, the first of its kind in Quebec, is located in the heart of the Plateau Mont-Royal, between Parc Lafontaine and Mont-Royal (corner St Denis / Rachel). Come and enjoy the atmosphere of this lively neighborhood: you can savor a Merveilleux, a waffle or a freshly baked cramique, accompanied by a coffee, in our tearoom or to take away! Our delicious sandwiches are also available for lunch.

Très bel établissement offrant de merveilleuses pâtisseries de toutes sortes. Les viennoiseries sont débatablement les plus succulentes en villes. Impossible de ne pas parler de la spécialité: les merveilleux. Une pâtisserie légère de meringue qui en fait sa renommée. Le personnel est accueillant & efficace tout au long de la journée. Des qualités qui n'étonnent peu lorsqu'on rencontre le propriétaire: un passionné employant perfectionnement de la technique & patience pour enseigner à ses employés l'art du métier.
J'y retournerais tous les jours.
Belle endroit propre & service reasonable je m'en vais spécialement pour acheter les meringues
Le gâteau bon pas trop sucré mais je m'attendais 2 ou 3 couches de meringue il contient une fine couche de meringue & beaucoup de crème ce que j'ai pas aimé
Je recommande cette pâtisserie pour ceux qui aiment ça ou acheter les petites pièces de meringue séparées si vous l'aimez ou autres
Trois visite, trois succès !
Jolies montage de meringues françaises croquantes dans lesquelles se retrouve une simple assemblage de crème Chantilly & de saveurs légère.
C'est doux & ultra supra léger. Un parfait en cas pour le thé de 16h pour le boulanger en moi qui termine sa journée.
Bonjour, j'avais hâte d'essayer cet endroit mais je fût déçue. Oui, l'endroit est beau & le personnel est respectueux. Cependant, l'habit ne fait pas le moine hihihi 😉. Les patissiers sont super bien habillés, la place est propre mais certaines de leurs patisseries manquent de saveurs, de personnalité & d'intention. Désolée, mais le croissant, le pain au chocolat & le gâteau dense au raisin, la meringue ne sont pas wow. Je ne fût pas très impressionnée & mon invité non plus, malheureusement. Je vous invite à tout de même vous faire votre propre opinion.
Les meilleures meringues à Montréal, croquantes & moelleuses à la fois. & que dire des merveilleux! Ces petits cônes, mélange de crème Chantilly & meringue (il me semble), fondent littéralement dans la bouche.

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.
The bakery looks wonderful as you walk in. You can see the pastry chefs working their art, rolling the croissants dough. We had the chocolate merveilleux & the one with nuts. There is meringue at the bottom with a cream enrobed in the chocolate & nuts. They were pretty good. Also had the chocolate croissant which looked better than it tasted, perhaps because it was not warm.
