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!
Great food, extremely friendly host, amazing atmosphere. This place is a gem. Get the grilled cheese with smoked meat. Croissants are also top notch. Coffee was perfection.

The cafe was across from our hotel & we were so happy that we stumbled upon it our first morning. The cafe is adorable & so inviting. The food was amazing. The drinks even better. The gentleman work possibly the owner was friendly & helpful with suggestions. I loved the London Fog with lavender. Should seek out if in the area.
I still dream of this lovely morning. Fantastic croissants, friendly service, & such a warm, welcoming spot with the dried flowers & open kitchen area to hear the sound of bakery prep as you enjoy a hot drink & croissant on a great collection of plates!
If you're visiting Montreal, Chez Mère Grand is an absolute must-visit. I stumbled upon this charming spot as it was conveniently located right across from my hotel, & it turned out to be a true hidden gem. The ambiance is warm & welcoming, a perfect reflection of the exceptional people who run it. The staff is genuinely some of the best I've ever encountered - friendly, attentive, & clearly passionate about what they do. Their personal touch makes every visit feel special. Everything here is freshly made, & you can tell they invest a lot of time & effort into ensuring the highest quality of not just the food but also the music & the ambiance. It's this attention to detail that makes the experience truly unforgettable. Chez Mère Grand captures the heart of Montreal's hospitality & artistry. If you're in the area, do yourself a favor & make time to stop by-you won't regret it!
After eating here, my partner said "that breakfast was so good I forgot about the outside world." We have been trying to sell our house while on vacation & this is genuinely the only thing that has helped him stop worrying about the sale. The man at the counter was so kind & the food & drinks were incredible. Thank you!

Petit café vraiment sympathique & joliment décoré avec une bonne sélection de viennoiseries & sandwiches faits sur place (la chocolatine est délicieuse!!) Le latté est aussi excellent! Mon café préféré quand je suis dans le quartier. On peut aussi commander pour emporter. À visiter!
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.
Commentaire original: " Le" Ajout: "J'ai commencé à penser au grilled cheese pendant que j'écrivais mon commentaire. J'ai perdu mes moyens en calculant si j'ai le temps pour en prendre un demain!!! Excellent service - on y oublie presque qu'il faut éventuellement retourner au boulot!"
Wow - this place is amazing. Best grilled cheese I ever had. Breakfast sandwiches are superb. Coffee is first-rate. Super cool owners. This place would be 5 stars in Paris!
