Why did we have to pay tips if it was just take out?! Way too expensive for what it is.

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.

Simply exceptional!

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.

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.

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.

One of my favorite viennoiseries places!

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
