Muru Crêpe is a charming, Studio Ghibli-themed cafe in Old Montreal that is highly regarded for its cozy atmosphere and unique decor. Many visitors praise the delicious selection of sweet and savory crepes, particularly the signature crème brûlée option, alongside a variety of creatively presented lattes featuring intricate character-themed art. While the establishment is frequently busy and can be considered pricey, most guests find the experience, friendly service, and Instagram-worthy aesthetic to be a highlight of their time in the city.
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.
