I got here quite late, but the modern aesthetic is super nice. & the staff were awesome. But even better was the eclair. I got the Mont Blanc, which is your standard chocolate eclair but a little darker.
The pastry is some of the best I've had, being quite thin, not as flakey as usual but was perfect to eat & showcased the innards perfectly acting a lot like a cake. The chocolate cream was so rich & flavourful. But the pastry was just so nice despite being thin, it was just nice to eat.
They have so many creative options & I don't believe you can go wrong with any of them.
The box was also really nice.
What a gem! We were warmly welcomed, I believe the owner himself served us, & his hospitality really set the tone. He generously offered free samples, which was such a lovely touch.
I ordered to-go the pistachio éclair & it was absolutely delicious perfectly balanced & beautifully made. I also got to try the mango mousse, which was just as impressive.
Belle découverte.
On a goûté à 2 éclairs : pistache & mont fleuri sel.
Les éclairs pas trop sucrés & le gagnant est le mont fleuri sel!
On a bien hâte d'en goûter d'autres.
La conseillère hyper chaleureuse & accueillante.
Par pur hasard, j ai découverte cette minuscule patisserie/chocolaterie lors d une balade. Les éclairs sont mes pâtisseries favorites donc je n ai pas pu résister en voyant les desserts joliment disposés en vitrine. La boutique offre également un vaste choix de chocolats artisanaux.
L acceuil fut chaleureux par l employée derrière le comptoir. Elle semblait un peu nerveuse ( j en ai déduit qu elle était nouvelle), rapidement l aimable propriétaire est venue l assister avec patience & bienveillance.
Mes choix d éclairs fut les suivants: le Madagascar, le saisonnier & le Mont Passionnel. Mon palais fut rapidement conquis par l aérienne pâte à choux, l onctueuse garniture, & le fondant de chaque variété sélectionnée. Tout simplement divin! Tout était frais & léger tout en étant gourmand & décadent. J ai adoré & je compte bien y retourner pour essayer d autres saveurs.
Concernant le prix; Cela peut paraître dispendieux...... mais je mentionne que la qualité, le savoir faire ainsi que la l emplacement du commerce (rue Mont Royal!) a un impact direct sur le coût payé par le client. Pour ma part, je trouve que le prix affiché en boutique est justifié.Comme n importe quel item, le luxe a un prix...
Mon expérience fut impeccable & je recommande cet endroit pour ceux & celles qui souhaitent se gâter avec une pâtisserie de haute qualité. Les chocolats artisanaux sont également un plaisir à déguster.
I had a wonderful experience, everything we tried was absolutely delicious.
The éclairs were beautifully made, with a perfect balance of texture & flavor. The pastry itself was light & airy, while the fillings were rich without being overly sweet. You can really tell there's attention to detail & quality ingredients behind each item.
What made the experience even more memorable was the customer service. The staff were incredibly friendly & welcoming, & they even offered us complimentary chocolate samples, which was such a thoughtful touch. It made us feel genuinely appreciated as customers.
Overall, it was a fantastic visit. Between the high-quality desserts & the warm service, this is definitely a place I'd return to & recommend to others looking for a great sweet treat in Montreal.
Très belle sélection d'éclaire, avec un gros favoris : le chocolat qui est selon moi le meilleur de Montréal ! Les prix sont corrects par rapport à la finesse de la pâtisserie.
J'ai acheté hier 3 Saveurs d'éclairs qui avaient l'air tellement appétissant...grande déception à la dégustation : Dur , clairement pas frais du tout , il y'avait même un arrière goût bizarre...Excepté celle au citron , plus fraîche.
