About

Our approach to pastry-making is rooted in questioning. What role do ingredients play in the chemistry of a pastry? How does the body react to them? Are they truly essential? And if so, what natural foods can we substitute them with?

For ten years, we have avoided the refined sugar, glucose, and many other artificial sweeteners, colorings, and stabilizers found in numerous pastries and baked goods.

Initially, we used organic whole wheat flour, organic honey, local maple syrup, and organic cane sugar. Then, we sought to further reduce the amount of sweeteners, even natural ones, while creating more complex and pronounced flavors.

By combining nuts, fruits, vegetables, roots, spices, and herbs with our flours, we found our alchemy. Carrots, Jerusalem artichokes, celeriac, sweet potatoes, parsnips, nasturtium leaves, and more. The list of flavors and textures nature offers us is infinite.

In our shop, you will find croissants and baked goods with a rich yellow dough, made without eggs or refined sugar. Instead, they are sweetened with carrot juice and made with whole organic rye and spelt—resulting in a tasting experience that is crispy, airy, beautifully buttery, and mindful!

Une très belle découverte ! Nous sommes venus souper a Merci la Vie & l'expérience a dépassé toutes nos attentes.
Le cadre est tout simplement magnifique : l'aménagement de l'espace est réussi avec beaucoup de goût, créant une ambiance à la fois chaleureuse & élégante.
Dans l'assiette, c'est un sans-faute. De la fraîcheur irréprochable des ingrédients à la générosité des portions, chaque plat offre un mélange de saveurs maîtrisé & surprenant. Mention spéciale pour la crème glacée à base de pois chiches en dessert : une création étonnante & absolument délicieuse !
Un grand merci à notre serveuse, Pénélope, dont le service a été à la hauteur de l'expérience globale : attentionné, fluide & professionnel.
Une adresse coup de coeur où nous reviendrons sans hésiter. À découvrir absolument !

I regret not going there before….. today was our family first time, & definitely not the last one. Everything was wonderful! The kind of place you want to spend the whole afternoon there.
Our food got delayed a bit, which didn't bother us at all. Still the chef sent us something as a way to apologize for it. This kind of attitude is what makes the service special.

Menu du soir assez intéressant avec quelques belle trouvailles à déguster. Le service est d'une belle approche avec classe & politesse, pour les plats la qualité est excellente par contre je songerai à augmenter légèrement les portions ,la quantité dégustation a besoin d un peu plus de volume pour les prix. Pour l'ambiance le soir un peu calme. Voilà

Impeccable & un menu qui reflète le savoir-faire; oui c'est un peu plus dispendieux qu'un lunch régulier mais vraiment ça en vaut la peine pour avoir des saveurs inégalées! On a super apprécié les pitas de corfou & syrien, notre petite de 2 ans a aussi adoré la crème glacée vegan offerte au petit stand dehors, les parfums de vanille mexicaine & chocolat valrhona étaient sublime! Bravo à toute l'équipe, c'est définitivemment une des meilleures tables de la région au même titre que la Taverne des Copains à St Adolphe d'Howard par exemple, nous allons revenir 💜

I have been here quite a few times for lunch with family & friends, & have always loved the experience. This time, I finally tried dinner, & it did not disappoint.

The atmosphere is always enjoyable, calm, refined, & professional, with a lovely European feel. The staff is knowledgeable, attentive, & always happy to answer questions or explain the dishes.

& the food… I've always loved their lunches, so I was very excited to experience dinner. It was amazing. The menu offers a variety of plates to share for two, & each new dish felt like waiting for the next little surprise for the palate. New flavours & unexpected combinations, beautifully assembled on the plate & meant to be discovered & enjoyed together.

There is something very special about the experience at Merci la Vie. It's not simply going out for dinner. It feels creative, thoughtful, & a little adventurous. You leave already looking forward to coming back & discovering what they will serve next.

Une de mes plus belles expériences déjeuner à ce jour! Bravo pour l'originalité du menu, la qualité des plats & l'attention portée aux détails. Tout était délicieux & parfaitement exécuté. L'ambiance extérieur était tout aussi agréable que l'expérience culinaire. J'y retournerai assurément & je le recommande sans hésitation!
