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.
Aux Merveilleux de Fred receives praise for its pastry selection, especially the signature Merveilleux, the croissants, brioche, waffles, and chocolate croissant, with many noting excellent coffee and a high level of quality across treats. The open kitchen and clean, polished ambiance contribute to a sense of quality and professionalism, and service is often described as friendly and attentive. Some visitors compare the place to a Montreal staple, while others point to occasional disappointments such as pastry lamination issues on a few visits or variability in experience. The atmosphere is frequently called cozy and welcoming, and the bakery is seen as a place to return to for fresh, well made pastries and desserts, though a handful of reviews mention space constraints or that some items were too sweet or not as memorable on certain days.
Au Merveilles de Fred was such a great discovery. I went there specifically to try their croissants, & they were absolutely delicious, buttery, soft, fresh, & full of flavor. Honestly, they were so good that I could have eaten them right there straight from the counter. The place itself has a very elegant atmosphere, with a refined & welcoming feel that makes the experience even better. There are also a few seating areas if you want to enjoy your pastries & coffee on-site. It is a little more on the pricier side, but once you taste the quality, you completely understand why. I would definitely go back & try more of their pastries.
I went there & spent 15 $ & also left 15 % tips extra for the lady at the cash.. I was having a particularly tough day .. & my back was hurting so I needed a place to sit & rest my back.. at some point the person working there speaking English decided it was a good idea to kick me out of there!! This was very rude & the first time I have such an experience in Mtl!! I will definitely not ever go there again because of that rude person who works there .. & will definitely not recommend it to others..

Mauvaise expérience,… les merveilleux un peu overpriced, mais bon c'est leur produit principal, croissant sec pas digne du standing de la place, la pauvre jeune fille qui nous a préparé les macchiatos a dû les faire deux fois, puis les deux fois c'étaient de cafés au lait, on n'était pas contents, en m'excusant auprès d'elle car ce n'est pas de sa faute car c'est un manque de formation, qui est impardonnable pour une pâtisserie de réputation mondiale.
Je suis passée en fin de journée & malheureusement ça goutait les oeufs pourris. j'ai gaspillée mon argent pour du stock qui devait être retiré du comptoir, ce n'est pas frais.
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.
My husband & I were visiting from Edmonton a few years back. We had a lovely time visiting with staff, & of course sampling many of the wonderful pastries & croissant. All while enjoying a lovely espresso. I remember it fondly.
We fell in love with this quaint little shoppe, & when we visit Montreal one of our absolute musts is stopping by Aux Merveilleux de Fred.
This has been my go-to pastry spot for years, but my last few visits have been disappointing. As you can see in the photo, the lamination basically failed…. I hope they get back to their usual standard soon.
J'ai découvert cette pâtisserie originale en passant par hasard , l'accueil chaleureux, les dames super souriante & gentille, les gâteaux tellement raffiné 😍 je recommande & je retournerai avec grand plaisi
Très déçue. Les pâtisseries ne sont pas bonnes & c'est très cher pour la qualité. Je n'ai aimé ni le petit pain au chocolat, ni la mousse au chocolat, ni les merveilleux. Le seul goût acceptable était le caramel.
Je ne peux pas m'en passer! Aux merveilleux de Fred est ma boulangerie préférée depuis que je l'ai essayé à Prague, je ne la recommanderai jamais assez!
Passage obligatoire quand je passe à Montréal, si vous voulez en ouvrir un à Trois-Rivieres, ça me fera moins loin😜
Super service en tous cas & toujours un délice à déguster.
Their croissants are top quality! It's a high end offering with very fair prices. Service is really professional & the place is super clean, white & neat. All preparations happen in an open kitchen in front of you, proof of quality, professionalism & cleanliness. They use top ingredients. I always go there for the chocolate croissant (so far best in Montreal) & the coffee
