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.
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.
one of the better tourist traps in the old-montreal area. I am actually not being sarcastic here -- the rest of the restaurants in the area are even worse (some far worse) than this one.
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.
