It was hard to choose a pastry with so many tempting options, but I ended up with the Carre Dore Signature & an oat milk latte-both were delicious! Prices are reasonable, & there's a great variety of unique gift items, like different types of salts. The staff were incredibly friendly & knowledgeable. A fantastic spot all around!View more
Personnel légèrement austère mais les produits sont de très grande qualitéView more
Like the selection of products! The cakes & pain au chocolat I got were good.View more
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!View more
I travel to Montréal from time to time & every time ´Chez Potier' is my place to go for a nice treat, especially since chef Tilly left the city two years ago. Why ´Chez Potier'? For the intricate desserts & real croissants. As much as I appreciate the multi-element desserts, I can not ignore the lack of good reception. I believe that people who serve the customers, must make an effort to be kinder & more appropriate. If not out of respect to the customers themselves, at least have respect to the chef & all the people, who put heart, imagination, artistry & extremely hard work into making such exquisite pastry. Chapeaux to the creators!
The two stars I took away from my review is for the service. It is not good to assume that your customers would not enjoy time at the shop & load a bag of five croissants, a cake & a hot chocolate to go. It's even worse when you are asked to make their order for in the house, to rudely scold them that next time they better tell you so way in advance, before they wrapped the pastry in the paper bag (the cake was not yet served & the chocolate wasn't even charged). Last November I had similar experience: I was savouring desserts & drinks inside the store. Before leaving, I decided to buy jars of mustard & other gourmand goodies. I again was advised next time to make up my mind in advance, instead of being cashed twice.
Multiple little mentions like this make me feel like I am being an annoyance. Why would I want to come back next time I visit Montréal?!View more
Thank God I found a replacement for Christian FaureView more
Best cakes in town. Precise technique, fine texture, beautiful to look at & to taste. Exactly how a high end French pastry should be.View more
The taste of baba au rhum & Paris-Brest was amazing.View more
Beautiful cafe, many delicious pastries, wish could try more.View more
Extremely fancy cakes that were beautiful. The rose one with rose & lychee flavour was immaculate. The flavours were strong, & the combination of the rose & lychee flavour was perfection. I could eat on every day. The other two (one with grapefruit & one with yuzu+raspberry) were also yummy but not on the same level as the rose.
Service was just ok. Everyone was just standing there staring at us, & no one seem eager to help.
(There is a little fridge section in the back of the store with French butter).View more
Highly recommend the Rose lychee dessert & the caramel circle (not pictured). A bit pricy but worth the treat!
The service was kind of bad. The servers seemed annoyed that they have to do their work.View more
On va se le dire pour le moment j'ai goûté le pain suisse & l'eclair vanille .... je ne me souviens pas d'avoir mangé une pâtisserie aussi bonne que ce soit l'une ou l'autre.
Venant de l'ancien monde'france' je pensais connaître les pâtisseries.... ben je me trompais bien solide.View more
Honnêtement, c'est cher, mais vraiment bon. Ça a vraiment un goût uniquement bon, donc ça me dérange pas de payer pour quelque chose qui vaut la peine. Je recommande!!View more
