Review Summary

Bar à Beurre emerges as a cozy, charming café with a dollhouse feel, a staircase up to a few intimate tables, and a welcoming staff. Reviewers praise delicious pastries, especially macarons, apple cake, and a good cappuccino, plus affordable lunches and a well‑stocked high tea. The atmosphere and decor are repeatedly described as immersive and warm, making it a pleasant spot to work on wifi or gather with friends. Some notes point to desserts that can be too sweet or overly buttery, and a few guests found cake flavors or customization details not fully aligned with expectations, along with occasional early closures and uneven communication. The venue also offers cute accessories and dog treats, and special experiences such as generous, well‑presented birthday cakes impressed some guests, while others felt price rises and flavor gaps detracted from overall value.

The brownies I ordered were too sweet from my liking. But the place is cute. They have dog treats too.

Quaint café. Feels like a doll house. Love it. I ordered a bday cake, sent them the model as shown here & the owner Vanessa was up for the challenge. My kind of business, the type that doesn't shy away from novelty.

The result was mitigated however. Some guests liked the cake. Some noted too many buttery layers which made it too sweet. I personally loved the texture & the raspberry perfume but I set aside the layers. Had it been one layer, it would have been perfect.

Jessica had confirmed by email that the cake would be ready on given day & when I asked What color will be the hair, clothes etc..., I got no answer. I also did not know it would be a high cake quite different from photo.

That is a lesson for me to confirm every detail! Nice job regardless.

Went here today for high tea, something my mom loved doing with her girls & grandkids. I told the hostess it was just me, & that I was there to remember my mom. The food was all very good, but the sweetest thing was that she wrote some really thoughtful messages on my teapot. Honestly, just the kindest, most lovely thing for a hard day. What a wonderful place this is!

If you are looking for a private room for a small group of people, Bar à beurre has a wonderful place for you! We were looking to host a high tea for 20 people, following a courthouse wedding & instantly fell in love with the lovely decor of their private room. Vanessa has been responsive & attentive to our needs, was accommodating to some of our guest's allergy requirements, & had put together a beautiful setting, all in respect to the thematic of our wedding event. The attention to detail was noticed & appreciated by all. Her team on the floor were present & responsive, always nice & courteous to me & my guests. We pre-selected a number of teas from their provided list of teas & the selection was varied enough to satisfy everyone's taste. I personally enjoyed their earl grey & peach tea. The food tasted fresh, the selection of sweets are tasty & the service paired nicely with our teas. I especially remember their matcha macarons & cupcakes. Thank you Bar à beurre. We had a lovely wedding event & your decor, food & service have contributed to making this day memorable.

Got a delicious Chicken & Brie panini. Took a butter bagel to go! Very delicious, super cute environment, & lovely staff. Definitely recommend stopping in when you need a sweet treat on your Montreal adventures. Signs were (understandably) in French, but the lady at the front spoke English which made it easy for my non-bilingual self!
