Merci la vie shines with artisanal bakery and brunch, offering heavenly breads, croissants, pastries, and a warm, attentive service in a bright, scenic setting that invites lingering. Menu highlights fresh ingredients and creative flavors, and the overall vibe is welcoming, but some visits note high prices and busy crowds that can lead to longer waits and a livelier atmosphere. Together, these elements create a memorable bakery cafe experience that many keep returning to for quality, craft, and a comforting sense of place.
By far, the best bakery in the world. The level of care, love, & innovation infused in every dish & pastry is worth bowing to. Thank you for your devotion.

What a find! Amazing bakery & restaurant located in a breathtaking location. Fantastic customer service. So delicious. We cannot wait to go back!! Highly recommend.
This place is the real deal. Artisanal, homemade, & extremely high quality & devotion.
Everything they do here, from pastry to breakfast or brunch is incredible!
It's a family owned business, the owners are here in the kitchen working hard & with love for their craft & customers, it makes the experience so much more enjoyable.
The menu is unique, varied & oh-so delicious.
Come & give them a try, & don't forget to skip the bakery section, because let me tell you- that is worth the trip alone!
Very beautiful local bakery, fun to dine in!! Limited food options, but all of it was very fresh & delicious. Service really good. Pastries are also amazing. The only downside was the waiting time, & to make up for it, they gave each couple in our group a free loaf. Truly a gem!
I had the pleasure of visiting Merci la Vie & I can honestly say this place is a true example of "if you build it, they will come." The food is beyond incredible-creative, fresh, & filled with unique flavors that leave you craving more. Every dish they serve is a work of art, & it's clear they take pride in delivering quality with every bite. Whether you're a local or just passing through, this bakery is worth the trip. Merci la Vie has truly raised the bar for what a bakery & café can offer in Quebec. I can't wait to come back!
This bakery is extraordinary. Seriously, nothing here is ordinary, it's all incredible. I say this based on the coffee & pastries I've had so far in 3 visits. I haven't tried any of the hot meals but they look really impressive.
The food is delicious, always with a new flavor twist. Without mentioning that it is the best bakery in the Laurentians. You will be hooked on their maple roll croissant "roulé à l'érable"!
I used to love the bakery . A bit pricey but worth every penny & more. I went back today after a couple of years & I was disappointed with the size of the muffins. They are heavenly delicious as expected but half the size of what they used to be! & same price... I guess that's inflation.. & it is the same everywhere... But still...it is not worth the price anymore...
The best bakery in Canada! Frankie & the whole staff take great care of us. The quality of everything that comes out of the kitchen, & creativity of their menu are both at a world class level.
