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.

J’ai acheté le flan & le gateau marbré & c’était très bon.

Baba au rum, eclair au café & tart au citron.
The pastries are amazing & thoughtfully created, with every element, layer & texture serving its purpose. However, though these are beautiful & elegant, the taste is often overlooked in the final verdict. This was my second time here & I can say that it has not amazed me & shocked me out of this world because the flavors are just NOT there. This is my biggest critique of high level chef pastry shops. Often time they are afraid to push the flavors to an extreme, so you end up with very bland tasting pastry. For example there is so much potential in the Tart au citron but there isn’t enough lemon taste & acidity to the crème to make it really stand out. Same goes for the éclaire au café. I would like to see more emphasis on the harmony between flavor & structure when I am paying for expensive pastries.
For this reason I do not consider it the best French pastry in Montreal. �

My family had very nice experience with Chez Potier. We ordered 3 cakes, Matcha latte & Cappuccino. The cakes were very delicate, rich in flavours without being too sweet, you can strongly taste the different layers, they keep a good balance.
We like it very much. The quality of matcha latte is also impressed me.
We like everything about this place. Environment, their customer service & food quality.
