Reviews describe Muru Crêpe as a charming Totoro themed café in Old Montreal with a cozy, welcoming atmosphere that suits families and travelers alike. Crepes are praised for being light, golden, and slightly crisp at the edges, with standout options like the crème brûlée crepe and matcha tiramisu crepe, alongside a wide range of sweet and savory choices. Latte art and visually striking drinks, including rose latte and hojicha and matcha beverages, appear frequently in praise along with strong coffee and tea. The decor is repeatedly noted as adorable and Instagram ready, perfectly matching the Studio Ghibli Totoro theme. Service is described as friendly and efficient, though the small space can lead to wait times and occasional slower pacing when busy. Some reviews mention prices as a bit high for portions, but many feel the quality, atmosphere, and experience justify the cost. Fans of the theme often call it a must visit and say they would return for the charming environment and tasty crepes.
I went to muru with my friends & was very pleased by everything! The decor was super cute, the staff were really sweet & my meal was very tasty!! Overall, I would definitely come back & recommend the place to my closed ones.
Such a charming café & brunch spot in Old Montreal! Most items on the menu are under 20$, the latte art is incredible & very nice & helpful staff, always good times at Muru! I highly recommend the Crème Brûlée crêpe!
As a matcha lover, I would not recommend the matcha latte. The flavor does not taste like authentic matcha, but more like a green tea blend you can easily find elsewhere. The star is for the latte art & atmosphere.
Cuisine simple mais de qualité avec des ingrédients frais & à prix justes, dans un quartier touristique où il est devenu difficile de trouver de telles perles. Bonnes crêpes & salades, à la façon asiatique. Service rapide & efficace. À recommander pour une pause casse-croûte ou un brunch.
This is an awesome little spot. Super friendly service, the food is made quickly, so there's very little waiting, it's delicious & exactly as you ask for. Their coffee is also made with care & with all the modifications implemented, so there's no need to do the work yourself. The only downside is they close by 230pm... Breakfast food this good should be available all day long 😉 Highly recommended.
My partner & I had breakfast here this morning. The food was mediocre & the service was not good. Upon arriving we asked the waitress if they had any gluten free options. She said no. This was obviously not true, so we ordered an omelette with potatoes, tomatoes & fruit (all gluten free). We also ordered a croissant & two lattes. The omelette was pretty basic. The croissant was dry & tasted stale. My latte was lukewarm. I asked the waitress to microwave it. She said they don't have a microwave & will make me a fresh cup. Yet, the cup she brought back was the one I had sent back, which was slightly warmer. I don't recommend this restaurant.
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.

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.
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.
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.
