Overall, Chez Fred is celebrated for consistently fresh bread and a wide range of pastries, with croissants and chocolatines repeatedly praised as some of the best in Montreal, though a few visitors report changes in quality and texture lately. The bakery is described as busy and popular, offering friendly service and reasonable prices, a cozy in store vibe for some and a quick grab and go atmosphere for others. While many describe reliable favorites like baguettes and other viennoiseries, occasional experiences include cold servings or mealy textures, and a small number of visits left customers disappointed with ingredients or execution.
Best boulangerie in the neighbourhood. Their baguettes are excellent, crusty & chewy. Best croissants. & very fairly priced. Top quality. Very nice service as well.
Amazing bread & pastries. Their Galette des Rois was fantastic, although seasonal. The service is great as well, efficient & always under control, even in rush!
It truly pains me to rate a bakery this low, especially since we did try a few good products. The atmosphere was incredibly uninviting. A little effort in this vein would go a long way into attracting a lot more business. I do want to make note that the employees are very nice.
I ordered two bags of chouquette (20) & only received one. It is very disappointing to spend your hard earned money on two items & only receive one. While the chouquettes were amazing I can't give more than one stars since I only received half of my order. Beware if you order online you may only receive part of your order. EDIT: I ended up changing the review, they're the only baker my in Montreal that really nail chouquette I can't stay mad at them!

Les sandwiches au poulet avec la complotée d'oignons sont très bons (la baguette est une véritable baguette comme on les fait en France). Les croissants aux amandes aussi 😍 Je recommande chaudement cette boulangerie !
Chez Fred used to have the best pastries in Montréal without a doubt. Now, like many other similar places, it's hit or miss. Croissants & chocolatines can be bready & dry. An almond croissant was hard. The service was never great but the quality of the product made up for it.
A breath of fresh air for Sherbrooke west with the demise of the stale gascone . Located close to decarie but worth the short trip . Staff very friendly efficient & accommodating. Everything is done fresh daily with highest quality ingredients , selection is not big but of outstanding quality. Selection is not big , but it's the best French bakery on this side of the Atlantic !!
