Staff was so kind, allowed me to practice my French rather than switching to English upon hearing my accent. The store was very cool, so many different international delicacies.
NOLA Cheesecake (photo) was délicieux! Fresh with citrus flavors & nice sweetness coming from the white chocolate outer layer. Somehow this dessert managed to be light & creamy & pack a flavor-punch all at the same time. So many different crunchy & smooth textures too. YUM!!!!
Side note-yes there is a grapefruit slice on top; I do not like grapefruit & I LOVED this dessert.View more

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.View more

As an average guy who enjoys good food, here's my HONEST take: The food is good, but... It doesn't quite offer a game-changing taste experience. The utensils are fancy but not very practical; the fork was "too small" for cracking into some of the dishes. While everything we tried looked appealing, the flavors were quite familiar. Unfortunately, we didn't have a moment of "WOW, this is new," which was a bit disappointing given the rave reviews. Don't get me wrong; the food tasted great & we enjoyed each bite. However, for the price & expectations set, there are plenty of excellent alternatives in Old Port. The service was great, & the location was cozy, bright, & inviting. We will definitely give it another try, but based on this first experience, we've had better for the same price & quality elsewhere. This place seems more like a treat-yourself spot, & I understand that appeal. I still recommend it because you might discover something you love, but for me, it was simply a good experience.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

I had the vanilla raspberry cheesecake & a croissant. Both are fabulous. The cheesecake is light with so many flavors , the croissant is buttery & flaky. They also have a huge selection of other goods in store. Great bakery!View more

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. �View more
