Nice place with lots of beautiful pastries that are arranged very beautifully. The establishment is very clean & the staff were friendly & helpful. There are a lot of unique items that you might not find anywhere else!
I love this place! Really good pastries & friendly service. Their coffees are also amazing!
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.
We'd been wanting to visit Chez Potier for quite some time, & we finally had the chance to stop by - it was absolutely worth it. The moment you walk in, you can tell this is a place that takes pride in what it offers. The display counters are beautifully arranged, showcasing an impressive selection of high-end pastries & baked goods that look as good as they taste.
The bakery section, in particular, is wonderful. Everything feels refined & crafted with care, from the presentation to the textures. The lemon tart stood out as truly exceptional - perfectly balanced between sweetness & tartness, with a delicate crust that melts in your mouth.
The staff were friendly & professional, adding to the pleasant atmosphere. The space itself is clean, elegant, & inviting - you can easily see why it's so well-regarded.
Overall, Chez Potier offers a refined yet welcoming experience, perfect for anyone who appreciates quality pastries & attention to detail. We'll definitely be back.
I search the world for the best of the best of viennoiserie & pastries (as a hobby & passion - not professionally). Chez Potier is the best viennoiserie in North America I've tried, followed closely by The Allis in West Loop, Chicago. Except they have everything you could want & their espresso is so rich, chocolatey, with notes of hazelnut & chestnut.
They also have a store for epicurean delights. 10/10 would recommend if you care about food & you're feeling something sweet.
Edit: someone insisted Duc du Lorraine was better Viennoiserie & the best in the city. So I checked it out. It's okay, definitely not better than Chez Potier, & their espresso is not as good either, it's louder, worse service. 10/10 would recommend Chez Potie
I've been buying from this pastry shop for over a year & I must agree with the other reviews to say that while the pastries & cakes are really good probably the best I've had in Montreal, the service is terrible. There's one young woman who is very warm & welcoming her service is great everyone else is extremely cold & they do stare at you weirdly when you come in in a weird judgemental way. It's just really weird & dry customer service that is not welcoming at all. I assume most of them are co-owners of the place because the staff doesn't change
Chez Potier is not your average café-this place *levels up* the pastry experience in every way. The moment you walk in, you feel the refined yet welcoming vibe that sets the tone for what's to come. It's a beautifully curated space that blends the elegance of a European pastry boutique with the warm charm of a local favorite.
The pastry selection is nothing short of stunning-each piece genuinely looks like a work of art. I tried their in-house hot chocolate & was impressed by the rich flavor. You can really taste the quality cocoa, though I personally would've preferred it less frothy & a touch darker. That said, it was still a delight to sip.
I paired the hot chocolate with a strawberry cream pastry that showcased real craftsmanship. It featured four distinct layers: a silky vanilla cream on top that was absolutely decadent, followed by a refreshing middle layer of strawberry accented with fresh mint, & finished with a touch of fresh strawberry on the side. The base was a little firmer & drier than I'd like, but it didn't take away from the overall flavor, which was still thoughtfully composed & delicious.
Service here deserves a shoutout-attentive, knowledgeable, & warm. Their recommendations were spot-on, & it's clear they take pride in what they do. Beyond pastries & coffee (which is in-house brewed, by the way), they offer a selection of fine European goods including Italian delicacies, French products, truffle oil, & even caviar.
Chez Potier has a lot to offer & then some. I'm already looking forward to going back & trying more. A must-visit for pastry lovers, café connoisseurs, or anyone looking to indulge in a little edible art.
I have a sweet tooth & I can say that I'm never disappointed with Olivier Poitier's pastries!
Amazing croissant, cannelés, Galette des Rois & à multitude of other pastries! Also great local & French imported goods!
The patisseries were good, but small & way overpriced. I know many place that offer the same quality (& some better), but half the price. two very small pastries came to $25!!!
Came for some coffee & pastries & they did not disappoint. Amazing treats, great quality & prices were very reasonable. Can't wait to come back
I love this place because it adds a very fancy feeling to that quartier/Griffintown because lots of my favourite restaurants are there so every time I can just pass by & buy croissants for next morning. Of course the pastries are so frenchy & so authentic. A good carry on of the traditions I love it! 🥰
The pastries were so good. More on the pricier side but well worth it! I would go back to try their other pastries. They also have a lot of French products you can buy which you can't find elsewhere. Highly recommend for anyone to try it if you appreciate good quality pastries & don't mind spending a little more.
They serve one of the best pastries & sweets in town. Small areas for dine in also available.
