Épicerie gourmande haut de gamme incluant : pâtisseries, viennoiseries, gâteaux de voyage, glaces, sorbets, thés, cafés, chocolats, confiseries, prêt à manger, charcuteries, produits locaux de saison et plus encore....
Chez Potier suscite de nombreuses éloges pour sa pâtisserie raffinée et ses croissants, les critiques parlant d'un croissant exceptionnel, généreusement taille et ultra croustillant, et de pâtisseries joliment présentées et délicieuses, du mille-feuille aux cannelés, fraisier et tartes au citron, sans oublier les produits européens proposés qui renforcent l'impression d'une boutique gourmande. La qualité reste constante d'année en année, et plusieurs éléments sont cités comme les meilleurs de Montréal, voire d'Amérique du Nord. Les prix sont élevés, mais l'excellence et le savoir-faire semblent justifier l'investissement. Le service est mitigé: certains décrivent un personnel sympathique, attentif et compétent, d'autres évoquent une froideur ou une attitude distante, ce qui peut refroidir l'expérience. L'espace est propre, élégant et séduisant, mais ce n'est pas un café et le nombre de places est limité; la vente à emporter est recommandée pour profiter pleinement des pâtisseries et des produits européens. Dans l'ensemble, une adresse à visiter pour les amateurs de pâtisserie recherchant l'art culinaire et une expérience gourmande luxueuse.
Un des meilleurs croissants que j'ai mangé ! (& je suis française…) Le prince Arthur est aussi un petit bijou. Le café est délicieux & le personnel très sympathique.

I recommend the latte & the hot chocolate. They were fabulous. We also tried the almond raspberry croissant. It was not bad but it was on the sweet side due to the raspberry jam filling.
The shop has plenty of European products. I was so tempted to buy them but didn't want to carry too much while I was exploring the city. It's worth checking it out if you are looking for some European products or gifts.
There were not many seating at the shop since it's not an actual cafe. I recommend take-out vs dine in.
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.
Great bakery/pastry place that doubles up as a fancy gourmet store. Interior decoration is not bery inviting, uses dark colors that do jot provide a cosy café vibe. Great service.
Wow!! Mon conjoint hospitalisé au CHUM avait le goût d'un éclair au chocolat. Ça valait la peine de marcher jusqu'à cet endroit. Nous avons dégusté l'éclair au chocolat & celle au café . J'ai aussi dégusté sur place le croissant amandes & confit de framboises… moelleux , ça goûtait le ciel !Divin!
Je suis passé en début de semaine après la foule des travailleurs du matin. Pour avoir pris un café & goûté à quelques viennoiseries, je peux comprendre pourquoi il y a la lignée les week-ends-comme si nous étions chez Ladurée !
Nice ambience in this cafe. I had their Baba au Rhum & my mom had the croissant & it was amazing. My first time to try baba au rhum & I'm glad its theirs. Place looked so neat & they had really good cappuccino. Will be reccomending to my friends

Montreal'deki cafe ve pastanelerin en iyilerinden biri ürünler taze ve kaliteli ayrica muhtelif gida ürünleri ve içeceklerde satisa sunulmus ücretsiz WiFi mevcut. Özel araç parki yok ancak bulabilirseniz cadde üzeri otoparki var.
Amazing French style dessert/ pastry store. Love every dessert, not too sweet, great look. The cafe latte is also delicious 🤤 although the price is a bit higher than average pastries, it's worth going.
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. �
