Do not, i repeat, do not try to order anything that is not written down on the menu. They will not make it for you. In fact, they'll be rude about not making it for.
They will also hate you if you do not speak french. I am serious. Use Google Translate, let it order for you & just try & swallow.But I can only call bug up their bum attitude.
It was the best brilled cheese i've ever had in my life & I even ate half of my husband smoked meat sandwich. But the service & the attitude , no , no.
There are a million other coffee places in Montreal, go there, heck, go to krispykreme ....at least there'll be nice to you.
We went to this restaurant because we actually read the name in a Louise Penny book. (The Grey Wolf)
We thought that since we go to Montreal all the time [from hundreds of km awsy) that we would try out because it sounded like it was really good. I am thinking that unless you're Armand Gamache, you are not going to like it here.
Eating breakfast & having our coffee here (3/30/2025) & this little café is absolutely exquisite.
For drinks, I had an iced latte with maple syrup & my husband had a long espresso. Both were excellent. My husband enjoyed that the espress was quite strong, & my latte had an excellent flavor.
For food we had ham & cheese croissants, I had a bostock, & my husband had a lavender scone. Again, everything was scrumptious! The ham & cheese croissants (homemade pastry at the café) were a revelation, & my bostock was the best sweet pastry I've had in a very long time. The lavender scone was amazing, with a lovely lavender scent that didn't become a soapy taste on the palate.
The ambience is lovely, with an old-fashioned vibe & an open bakery. The smells of the fresh baked goods wafts over you enticingly as soon as you open the door
To boot, the owner/proprietor is an absolute gem of a human! Funny, personable, helpful, & eager to provide excellent service.
Everyone should come visit Chez Mère-Grand Café & Épicerie!
I got a scone & it was very dry, as if it had been made days ago & not stored properly. I also got the smoked salmon bagel, I had been made the day before or few days ago. The salmon slices were dry on the edges, the crème cheese was dried out & the cucumber looked like it was out of date. For the price, I expected better. The coffee is good though.
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 a great cafe to stumble upon. The coffee was brewed to perfect, not bitter at all, to steam oatmilk so precisely too takes loads of practice. I enjoyed a delightfully warm pastry here that had goat cheese & tomato, was flaky & buttery. This cafe is located in the perfect spot right off the lake, great spot to start if you'll be going walking around the old port.
Wonderful experience! The chocolate croissant & ham & cheese croissant were perfectly done! Our drinks were also fantastic. Last thing, the staff & environment are lovely. Highly recommend!
