Review Summary

Reviews describe Chez Potier as a refined pastry destination where artful presentation meets exceptional taste, and the shop doubles as an epicerie gourmande with European goods. Pastries such as croissants, mille feuille, fraisier, galette des rois, amandines and canneles are repeatedly praised for quality and texture, with many calling the selection among the best in Montreal or even North America. Standouts include the lemon tart, a rose lychee dessert, and other creations, while the in house hot chocolate and coffee receive high marks. The space is clean, elegant and inviting, though seating is limited and take out is often recommended. Service can vary, with some reviewers finding staff friendly and attentive and others noting a chilly or overly formal tone on certain visits. Prices are high but described as worth it for the quality, and changes to portions have drawn mixed reactions; there is also a rare safety concern noted about a cake. Overall, this destination is seen as a standout pastry spot that many return to for pastry connoisseurship and gift shopping alike.

Pâtisseries délicieuses! Service froid & impersonnel les trois dernières fois où j'y suis allé. J'y retourne pour la qualité de la nourriture, mais définitivement pas pour le service à la clientèle..

Chez Poitier, j'y passe certains matins vu que je travaille à côté, & que dire… oui, le croissant est peut-être un peu plus cher que la moyenne, mais il est tout simplement exceptionnel. Ultra croustillant, bien doré, avec un léger goût de beurre parfaitement dosé (gourmand sans être écoeurant). En plus, il est gros & bien généreux. Pour 3,75 $, je préfère largement ça qu'un croissant petit, mou & triste au même prix ailleurs. Le pain au chocolat à 4,75 $ est lui aussi excellent : bien garni, super feuilleté. La qualité est clairement au rendez-vous, je recommande sans hésiter !

Une pâtisserie/boulangerie avec des valeurs sûres! C'est excellemment bon, raffiné mais sans chichi & un excellent accueil.
& mention spéciale pour les croissants qui sont juste dingues

There is almost no bakery in the city that is not good. But I believe this was the best cannele I had. It was not freshly baked when I ate it but it was still really good. These beautiful morsels as far as I know are easy to screw up but are so good. & the matcha strawberry cake in the back was also really good.

Just purchased some great cheese, baguette, & a dessert. I also purchased a terrible Quebec pinot noir wine. The reputation of this shop is very high so when a clerk suggested that this wine was really good I decided to buy it. Be warned! Looks like it is more about making sales then to provide honest customer advice. A manager needs to remind the staff that when they push a certain product, their own good name is at risk. She told me « it's not a grand cru but it is a great wine for the price range ». Well, I just wasted $35 because I could not even finish a single glass. I'm not blaming the wine.
Terrible service.

I can't believe it! There is a little piece of glass in the base cake!!! At first, I thought it was sugar, but it wasn't. I can't imagine what would have happened if I hadn't noticed it & eaten it…

Les produits sont très bons, cependant, ayant été cliente depuis jour 1, je trouve dommage la réduction de la taille des gâteaux. A l'époque de la boîte découverte toutes les portions étaient beaucoup plus gênereuses. Ca devient vraiment insensé.

A notre dernière visite, nous avons pris la fleur pour 6 à 8 personnes. Très bon gâteau léger & savoureu, mais la taille & les ingrédients ne justifient absolument par les prix qu'on commence à y pratiquer surtout que c'est est en entremet assez simple. 68$ pour la fleur minuscule bien plus petite que le cercle en carton en dessous, difficile de comprendre.

The best cakes & pastries in Montreal period. Le fraisier in the summer is my favorite. There is zéro compromise here. This is on the same level as the best of the Best in France. The quality remains consistent year after year. The amandines are the best I had anywhere in the world.
