Mont Éclair is widely regarded as a charming destination for those seeking refined and beautifully presented pastries, particularly their extensive and creative variety of éclairs. Many visitors praise the high-quality ingredients, balanced flavors, and the sophisticated aesthetic of the shop, often highlighting the warm and welcoming service provided by the staff and owners. While the majority of reviews are glowing, citing the éclairs as a standout treat in Montreal, some customers have expressed mixed feelings regarding the pricing, freshness, or intensity of certain flavor profiles. Overall, the establishment is frequently recommended as a must-visit spot for dessert lovers who appreciate both artistry and indulgence in their sweets.
Gros coup de coeur. Les éclairs, les chocolats & les macarons étaient délicieux. Un très bon travail artisanal. Propriétaires très sympathiques & genereux. Nous reviendrons !
Our kids were craving eclairs. This was the second place we visited & were treated to a great variety of options! Kid favorites were classic chocolate, passion fruit & strawberry. The parent favorites were hazelnut & lemon meringue. Stunning presentation & friendly service. We paid with click pay & opted for take out (there were a few chairs to eat there).

Bon voici les points positifs, le lieu très propre, certain éclairs sont bons
Point négatif éclair fraise / framboise pas mangeable, pas de prix afficher dans le magasin
Tablette chocolat dubai désoler mais vous ne devriez pas vendre ça je ne veux pas être insultant mais vraiment vraiment pas bon, ca goûte le gras tout droit dans la poubelle (je parle même pas du prix)
Beaucoup de points à améliorer pour le prix payer 6 éclaires & une petite tablette de chocolat +60$
Dès que l'on pousse la porte de cette pâtisserie, une douce effluve de chocolat & de crème vanillée vous enveloppe, promettant un voyage sensoriel inoubliable. Ici, l'éclair est roi, décliné en une infinité de saveurs, du plus classique au plus audacieux. Chaque bouchée révèle un équilibre parfait entre la légèreté de la pâte à choux, la richesse des crèmes onctueuses & la finesse des glaçages délicatement travaillés.
Mais ce n'est pas tout ! Le chocolat artisanal, réalisé avec un savoir-faire exceptionnel, se décline en tablettes, pralinés & ganaches d'une profondeur aromatique inégalée. On sent la passion du chocolatier dans chaque bonbon. Mention spéciale aux éclairs chocolat noir, praliné & pistache. Mes coups de coeur
Le service, quant à lui, est aussi raffiné que les créations. Propriétaires cheffes, attentionnées, passionnées & toujours prêtes à conseiller les plus indécis. Que vous soyez amateur de pâtisserie ou simple curieux en quête d'émotions sucrées, cette adresse est un passage obligé. Un seul avertissement : une fois que vous aurez goûté à ces merveilles, il sera impossible de revenir en arrière. Bravo
It's not with a light heart I write this. I bought a box of chocolates from here for valentines & I wasn't overly impressed. I found the place just by chance one day walking by as it's truly a beautiful shop with gorgeous éclairs. However, the box of chocolates I ordered wasn't ideal. First off the box it came in wasn't great. I wasn't expecting anything fancy but for the price I was hoping a simple but nice box. The box was a bit flimsy & felt cheap honestly. You can kinda of see the inside walls in the box are a bit crooked & there was markings on the inside of the box. As for the chocolates they're decent. I was hoping for some truly simple, classic, delicious local chocolates & they were pretty average.
All that being said, I'm very willing to change my mind & give it another chance. The ratings don't lie & so I'm sure maybe my choice wasn't the best or they were having an off day.
PS check out the 2nd & 3rd photo is that not one of the most beautiful things you've seen.
Response to comment:
I'm using Google translate to respond so I hope nothing was lost in translation. First & foremost I have absolute zero intention to harm your reputation, I have never heard of your chocolate shop before Valentine's Day & i am simply giving my honest thoughts on the product you are selling. My 2 star review is low & I will be honest it was on the border of being a 3 star experience. However, I'd like to respond to your critiques of my review. Firstly, if you actually read my review I name numerous positive aspects to my experience but as a whole I was not happy with my experience. Secondly, you say your boxes are high quality & built to protect the chocolates. They do protect the chocolates however they (in my opinion) not high quality & the box i received was flimsy & also dirty. Thirdly, you say that your chocolates are recognized for exceptional quality, ingredients, & a wide variety of flavours. I honestly don't doubt this but I think you're clearly forgetting the purpose of a review which is to review MY experience & MY opinion. You are correct in saying I chose the chocolates; I did but that doesn't mean I'm forced to enjoy the chocolates I chose.
I find it very concerning that you immediately think my suboptimal review is malicious in nature, it is not at all. I give plenty of 4 & 5 stars to quality restaurants. Your chocolates were expensive, had a sub par packaging, & average flavour. This is all my opinion, that being said I hope you take this as constructive feedback & I'd happily give your chocolates another go. Please remember what my review is meant to be & maybe I'll see you guys next Valentine's Day 😉.
On a acheté différents éclairs & des chocolats, en plus d'être beaux ils sont très bons. La personne qui nous a servi est souriante & à l'écoute. Bravo !
They are very welcoming! Although we arrived here last minute on Dec 24th, they welcomed us warmly! The space is cozy, & their pastries & chocolates are delicious
Ouaiouille ! Trop délicieux ! Nous avons mangé 2 éclairs sur place - un au fruit de passion, l'autre aux noisettes. Belle petite table devant la vitrine donnant sur Mt Royal. Puis nous avons acheté une boîte de 25 chocolats - un de chaque saveur comme cadeau. Très bon aussi. En plus, ceux qui travaillent là sont super chaleureux.
