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

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

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

UPDATE: they reached out to me to apologize for the issues & reimbursed me for the chocolate plate. I ordered a pecan chocolate cake. The cake was delicious & beautifully made. I have had cakes from there before & they have been fabulous. My family has loved the cakes too. So for the quality of the food - I would give 5 stars. However, there were two things on my recent experience that made me remove the two stars: 1) I ordered via the website & given its a milestone for a loved one, I requested a personalized message on the cake (which was 5$). The website states a 40 character maximum so, I took the extra effort to make sure my message was less that than that & submitted the order. The business gave me the courtesy to call me however, they told me my message was too long & they would need me to cut the message down or pay an extra $5 for an additional personalized message. I accepted to cut the message down even though it was not my error & as customer I really shouldn't have had to pay a penny extra for what they promised on their website. I mentioned this to the gentleman at the till when I went to pick up the cake. He accepted my comment but I am unsure as a business if they will do anything about it. If you choose to take the personalized message option when ordering a cake, I'd recommend keeping it shorter than 20 characters or call them to ask them what they can accommodate to not disappoint yourself as a future customer. 2) The actual message was not written to what I would have expected. The message was supposed to be "Aging like fine wine". What the cake seems like its written is "Aging LIME fine wine" & not very very clear. We had a laugh about it & it goes in our books as a funny meme. However, if you are very particular, I would be cautious on the personalized message. I've also shared some photos. I would like to reiterate the cake was fantastic in taste & all my previous experiences here have been decent. The two above points are the reason I took away the 2 other stars.View more

Tried this place for the first time for Mother's day by ordering their Tiramisu they created for the occasion I will start off by saying the flavors were good & it looked pretty. That being said - it was ridiculously small. To say that this is made for 6 people on the website is just false advertisement. It's more for 4 people. Every single person at dinner laughed at the size of it. If I had brought this anywhere but to my family I would've been embarrassed. I've attached a picture of the cake next to my hand for scale. I'm all about paying a little more for quality but I honestly felt deceived. Additionally the young man working at the store was frankly unpleasant in his demeanor - like we were bothering him by being there. If I'm paying 50$ for a cake the size of my hand I would at least want to have a pleasant interaction & not feel like you're doing me a favor by acknowledging me. We'll probably give them another try in a few weeks/months because some of their other flavors look interesting but the first experience was a let down.View more

I wanted to extend my heartfelt appreciation for the outstanding service & delectable creation you provided for my boyfriend's birthday celebration. Your Cheesecake Framboise Vanille stole the show & left everyone in awe. Despite the last minute order, you not only accepted the request but exceeded all expectations. The Cheesecake Framboise Vanille was a true masterpiece, both visually stunning & incredibly delicious. The combination of rich cheesecake, tangy raspberries, & delicate vanilla flavors was an absolute delight to the palate. Every guest at the party couldn't stop complimenting its exquisite taste. Thank you sincerely for making my boyfriend's birthday celebration unforgettable with your exceptional cake. Your craftsmanship & attention to detail truly set you apart. I will wholeheartedly recommend your shop to everyone I know.View more

Amazing cakes! I've tried quite a few patisseries in Montreal & this is one of the best. Expect to pay more for higher quality desserts. Passion fruit cheesecake is my favorite & I don't even like passion fruit that much. Baba au rhum is my second favorite. Pastries are good but are pricier than what you can get in Montreal at a lower price tag.View more

My boyfriend gift me a lemon gateaux, honestly im very into citrus! But the cake had this gele on top wich it was extra bitter impossible to eat, & the cake was very sweet. I was expecting something more refreshing, also on top of the yellow quenelles was this shinning nappage super bitter too.
& the bottom crust was extra hard.
Price wise: right for the sizes.View more

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.View more
