We wanted to eat a croissant so we went to came here & we got a croissant. Or two. & they were magnificent. It's all in the butter & they get it right. Buttery, flaky heaven in a roll.
We also loved the europeen vibe, the old chairs, cash register, ornamental coffee machine & the over vintage decor. & the fact that they serve alcohol & are open from 8am until 11pm makes it a rare type of establishment.
Where they lose points for us however, unfortunately has nothing to do with their croissants. A detail but enough for us to remember it.
If you're going to charge 4.25$ for a cup of tea don't serve "four o'clock" brand tea in a bag. Either do it properly or don't sell tea at all.
Tasty, great ambiance very cozy & french. The food is really good. Their baguettes are amazing. Good service too & reasonably priced. The only thing is their dining chairs are super uncomfortable.

Neighborhood terrasse for your coffee, croissant & anything in between. I’ve been to this place over the past decade & the service has always been consistently great. I’ve had a chance to try many things on their menu & it’s always a place where we may end up choosing to soak up the sun, have a French lunch, have a special for dinner, have a late night snack (it closes late) or even have a late coffee/ wine & dessert. The menu is long but I’ve always liked their gondole chicken sandwich, their carrot juice & their almond croissant. The inside is art deco Paris & it feels like you’re sitting in Europe. The outside is full of vividly colored flowers & is probably one of the places in the area that gets the most sun. I suggest you go there & try it even if it’s just for a glass of wine.
Pros: food, coffee, decor & service
Cons. European level expensive.
The coffee was superb. The chocolatines were (so I am told) epic. The grilled cheese sandwich was buttery & springy while caramelized on the outside. The room is very romantic, old brass & embossed ceiling ornaments, old fans, & period lighting harken the roaring 20's with plenty of patina. Our waitress was wonderfully pleasant, but not overly zealous.
But oh my Lordy Gordy, it was pricey. 2 coffees, three chocolatines, & a grilled cheese came up to 48$ with tax & tip.
I left pleases & satisfied. But I will only return when I am feeling rich.

Un café, un jus d'orange, deux croissants pâte d'amande. !5 minutes après la commande arrive le café en premier, 5 minutes après le jus. Tranquillement arrive...un croissant ( médiocre). On attend le deuxième, mais hélas iil n'y en avait que un, & on nous a pas avertis. Alors on demande un croissant nature, qui n'arrive pas non plus. Par contre la note a respecté la commande initiale. C'était notre première fois, jamais plus. Les bons croissants se trouvent facilement à Outremont, & le traitement est meilleur, malgré la pénurie qui touche tout le monde.
Je suis allé là la première fois il y a très longtemps, bonne bouffe décors superbe, belle ambiance, en sortant, sur la terrasse il y avait le cinéast Gilles Carles & Chloé Ste-Marie.
Si vous avez la chance d'être sur terrasse vous allez apprécier l'ambiance du quartier, l'intérieur est tout aussi charmant.

La Croissanterie Figaro was one of my favourite places to eat during my latest trip to Montreal in October 2021. Cozy & delicious, I recommend trying them. A must eat place in Montreal: https://mybeautifulpassport.com/must-eat-places-montreal
L'unique étoile est destinée à l'emplacement, parfaite pour une belle soirée de juin comme celle de ce 17 juin. Pour le reste ce restaurant mérite un zéro pointé. Le service est d'une désinvolture inacceptable. Nous étions cinq convives parmi lesquels deux d'ent eux avaient commandés une entrée chaude qui a fini par être servie un quart d'heure après les trois autres pendant que la serveuse plaisantait au loin avec son patron & l'une de ses collègues. Le comble c' est qu'en apportant les deux entrées retardataires elle a proposé d'approter en même temps le plat principal que nous avons refusé évidemment. Lorsqu'est venu le temps d'apportez les plats principaux les frites étaient froides ayant vraisemblablement attendu d'etre servis sur le comptoir. Pour couronner le tout la qualité des plats est médiocre & sans saveur.
Dommage que ce restaurant méprise autant des clients qui ont quand même commandé cinq tables d'hote & une bouteille de vin.
Malheureusement le service est épouvantable. La serveuse était condescendante & tellement désagréable. J'ai rarement vu un service aussi médiocre. Nous venions manger pour le lunch vers 1h30pm & avons demander une table qui était libre devant la fenêtre, elle nous a répondu que ce n'était pas possible car c'était une table de 4 & nous étions deux. Pourtant le restaurant était vide ou presque.Une fille est entrée quelque minutes plus tard & ils ont donné la table à cette fille seule, sans problème...nous avons parlé avec la gérante & aucune excuse & une attitude vraiment hautaine. Nous sommes partis tout simplement. La nourriture est correct sans plus, lorsque que nous payons un croissant bonjour jambon fromage plus de 10$ce n'est pas juste pour ce nourrir c'est pour avoir un bon moment...Resto à éviter sauf si vous êtes en état de survie!!
Always pleased with the quaint environment. It's mainly nice in summer for the terrace. Bad points; services isn't at par, the girls are rude & arrogant ( waitresses) - one of them has been there the longest is still nice. They give the check too soon, they take forever when you ask for water, lastly the food isn't great, just ok, this isn't something you can't make yourself at home, but I still like it for the general ambience.
