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.

C'est pas juste pur beurre c'est aussi pure qualité! C'est pas souvent qu'on croise un croissant dont l'apparence ne nuit pas à a texture

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.
