At Muru Crêpe, the cozy Totoro and Studio Ghibli themed cafe in Old Montreal draws visitors with a wide menu of sweet and savory crepes, tasty drinks, and eye catching latte art. Crepes like the creme brulee variety are repeatedly praised for light texture and rich flavor, while the matcha and hojicha lattes are popular and the whimsical decor and friendly service add to the experience, though space is small, seating is limited, and some guests note higher prices and occasional slower service during peak times.
Stopped here on my last day in Montreal & the crepes were so delicious! The staff is so friendly & even chatted with me & my daughter for a little bit. I love the cute simple atmosphere. I will definitely come back here the next time I come to Montreal!
Nice & cozy, but you might need to wait a bit before getting in! When we got there, there was a big line. But the crepes were tasty & the lattes were soooo cute 🥰

Amoureux de l'univers de mon Voisin Totoro des studios Ghibli ne passez pas à côté de cette crêperie à l'ambiance adorable. Attention toutefois, le système d'accès mis en place impose une attente en extérieur significative lorsque la salle est pleine. Nous avons personnellement attendu 15-20 min avant de pouvoir passer à table mais le service a ensuite été très rapide. L'équipe de service est dans l'ensemble très agréable (à l'exception de la gérante (?) qui même si elle a été courtoise n'a pas été très souriante) Le repas & les boissons sont très bons & ont un bon rapport qualité-prix.
Would recommend. I ordered a crepe & an espresso with ice cream. Tasted better than expected & I expected it to be great the service was fantastic. The food & drinks arrived quickly. I also brought in a bottle of coke & forgot it inside when leaving & a waiter brought it out to me before I could get too far. I have it with me now. The atmosphere is also a 5. The music is well selected & at a perfect volume.
Went here on the final day of my trip to Montreal. It was really pleasant, my friend had recommended the place & the first thing I noticed was the decor. As a fan of Ghibli I really enjoyed a lot of the My Neighbor Totoro decorations. As for the food, it was my first time having a crepe & I really found it delicious. The M12 was packed which allowed me to taste almost all of the ingredients. Their matcha latte was also pretty good & I liked seeing latte art in person for the first time lol. If I ever come back to Montreal, I'd take my friends here, it was really good.

For Totoro Fans, Muru is a must visit! The cafe is colorful, cute & cozy with themed art from Studio Ghibli's Totoro. We reached the cafe at 1.40pm in the afternoon & they close at 2.30pm. & so, the kitchen wasn't taking any more food orders but we ended up getting an iced coffee, just to spend time with the little Totoro-world in Montreal. We weren't disappointed. The staff is warm, friendly & accommodating. We will come back for the crepe!
Absolutely loved this cafe!! Food unbelievably delicious. Lattes with Totoro portrait in the foam, unbelievable!!! Totoro is my daughter's favourite film. It was such a treat to find this little gem of a cafe. I cannot recommend it highly enough!! If you are in Montreal this is a must do!! Crème Brûlée crepe was the best thing I have tasted in a long time.
We dined here with a family of six. The service, speed, & atmosphere were excellent. The banana, strawberry, & Nutella crêpes had fresh fruit in a light, flavorful roll. The crème brûlée crêpe has a delicious crêpe rolled into a cone with cream at the bottom, crème brûlée filling above that, & a delicious warm crust at the top. Le dejeuner was cooked perfectly with plenty of food to feed a ravenous teenager. The trois fromage was particularly good & very savory. We also tried the hot chocolate which was as beautiful as it was delicious. The maître d' was very nice & cheerful & checked on our table several times to make sure we didn't need anything. Overall, 10/10.

Great place for a lunch date, we tried their Crêpe Crème Brûlée & it was excellent. You could share it but you may not want to. We liked the Studio Ghibli theme especially the castle in the sky art. The service was great for french & english speakers, didnt wait long for a seat, a hidden gem of the city.
Highly recommend! This little Ghibli themed cafe is very cozy & the food is great. The chocolate hojicha is amazing. We had sandwiches & omelettes, the savoury options were great too, tho slightly smaller portion wise. We also ordered the crème bulee crepe, tapping the caramel on top was so satisfying! Would definitely come back again.
Not the most organized/ coordinated. Main crepe came out about 5 minutes prior to the dessert crepe despite asking for them to be offset. Drinks came out 20 min into eating. Overall a nice place for a fancy themed coffee. Otherwise crepes didn't standout from any other place.
Nice cute little place to have crepes. They have variety of savory crepes & we really liked them. Our favorite was the creme Brule crepe. We have never had anything of that sort till now. I would highly recommend it. These place is not huge but it was completely full when we came in. The service was a little slow, coz we could see the staff was of good number but the service was pretty slow as compared to that. The restrooms were just horrible!! I hope they take some time out & make sure it's clean!! Although I would really recommend the food here. It's worth trying!
Super cute latte! & the server was super polite. Unfortunately, I felt like the crepe wasn't made fresh. Are they making them ahead of time? It was kind of cold & soggy & the fruit was sparse. I definitely recommend going for the lattes though, but the crepe is not worth the price.
Lovely crepe place in Old Town. You can enjoy Totoro decorations all around. The food & the drinks are super tasty, & the workers attentive & nice. We ordered a couple of savory crepes, one ham croissant, a side order of fries, & one sweet crepe. Everything was great. We enjoyed it a lot & we will definitely be back
