Review Summary

Chez Mère Grand is widely praised as a charming, cozy destination near the Old Port, celebrated for its high-quality coffee, fresh house-made pastries, and inviting atmosphere. Many patrons describe the shop as a hidden gem, highlighting the delicious croissants, scones, and thoughtful decor that evoke a sense of being in a small village cafe. While the majority of visitors experience exceptional hospitality and friendly service from the staff and proprietor, a notable subset of reviews reports inconsistent interactions, specifically regarding rigid menu policies and occasional dismissive behavior from management, which can lead to polarizing experiences for customers.

Delicious. Grilled cheese with smoked meat was very satisfying, especially if you prefer extra crispy bread.

Really nice cozy cafe. I ordered an iced latte with caramel syrup, it was quite nice & refreshing. The grilled cheese with smoked meat was absolutely delicious! The staff were very friendly & helpful as there were many food & drink options. Will definitely come back to try other things on the menu!

What an amazing place! Great food, Great service, lovely Atmosphere. Such a passion rarely seen outside of france for this type of fare. I thought the ham croissant was good but when we came back the next day the grilled cheese was sublime!

My wife & I were visiting Montreal a couple weeks ago & had to come here to enjoy this gem of a cafe because it was mentioned in a recent murder mystery book by Louise Penny called the grey wolf. We enjoyed a grilled cheese sandwich, a BLT, a latte & a flat white & everything was amazing. We were able to sit & relax & enjoy just being there. Talked with the owner for a bit - really friendly & appreciated hearing our story of coming there because of a story. We'll be back. Definitely recommend!

This has become a regular stop on our visits to Montréal. It is a delightful spot, with friendly & charming hosts who always welcome us warmly. The drinks are perfectly created, whether hot or cold, & the treats to accompany them are always imaginative & tasty. On this visit we tried & greatly enjoyed their unique grilled cheese. This isn't your average grilled cheese. It's a perfectly grilled masterpiece with a most creamy & delicious cheese & some equally tasty smoked meat. A real treat that I'd recommend highly! So happy there's such a place.
