Ô Petit Paris is widely celebrated as a refined Parisian bakery cafe on the Plateau, delivering flaky croissants, wafer-thin pastries, and superb breads like baguettes and pain suisse, with many reviews calling it a standout in Montreal and comparing it to French bakeries. The space is described as warm, chic, and inviting, with attentive, friendly staff who frequently go the extra mile, answer questions about ingredients, and keep service efficient even when busy. Prices are noted as higher, reflecting artisanal quality, but many feel the value is justified by the craftsmanship and the freshness of pastries, breads, and seasonal treats. Highlights repeatedly mentioned include the kouign amann, chocolatine, cannelés, brioche, chouquettes, and the baba au rhum, while some items receive mixed reactions (certain cannelés too crispy, some cakes or tiramisu not to taste). The bakery has expanded its space, improving ambiance and accessibility, and occasional complaints about coffee quality or line length are tempered by praise for the overall experience. Overall, it is described as a top bakery in Montreal, a reliable destination for breakfast, lunch pastries, and a Parisian tasting journey.
Such a lovely bakery on Mont-Royal Avenue! The variety of pastries is impressive & makes choosing a challenge :)
The service is very friendly. I tried the famous croissant, pecan cookie, & Cherie roll - everything was absolutely delicious, with a perfectly balanced level of sweetness. I'll definitely be back to try more (& the bread!)
Oh I wish this place existed in Toronto. A croissant from a reputable bakery back home will run you $4.95+, here it's only $2.95 for a plain butter croissant & only $3.95 for a Kouign Amann. Everything was delicious & the staff are super friendly. There was a lineup out the door on a Monday mid morning & I definitely saw a healthy number of baguettes go out the door. They have a selection of pastries, desserts & bread. Def adding to my list of must visits for my future visits!

I am overjoyed to finally have a bakery in the hood with a great quality & collection of breads & pastries. The choices you encounter from the very front door are just pure pleasant which is why we love bakeries! The prices are a bit too heavy, & the staff can certainly be much nicer than so defensive & cold... but overall, it's a great bakery :)
Friendly & polite staff - even though it was really busy, everyone still had a smile on their face. The pastries & coffees were really good! It was my first time here, but I'll definitely be back. Tried a few pastries this time with friends,& I'm looking forward to trying their bread next time for sure.
After arriving in Montreal, a local recommended Au Petit Paris for authentic Parisian pastries. Located on Mont-Royal Avenue, a vibrant pedestrian street full of cafes & restaurants, the bakery immediately impresses with its elegant interior & beautifully displayed, refined pastries.
The staff behind the counter were friendly, welcoming, & attentive, answering questions about the ingredients. They offer a wide variety of items, including cannelli, kouign-amann, fruit tarts, & cruffins. I tried a passion fruit cruffin ($4.00 CAD), kouign-amann ($4.30 CAD), & a Chocolate Noisette (~$4.00 CAD).
The Chocolate Noisette was excellent-crispy outside & soft, flavorful inside. The passion fruit cruffin was also very good, with a subtle fruit flavor & a tender texture. The kouign-amann, however, wasn't my favorite; it was too crispy & crunchy throughout, but lacked softness inside, & I prefer the ones at Kouign-Amann Bakery right down the avenue.
There are a few small tables inside, & on the day I visited, it wasn't crowded. There's also a restroom for customers. Overall, the staff are friendly, the pastries are elegant & refined, & I enjoyed my visit. I would definitely return & recommend this bakery.
A good bakery where you can sit to enjoy the delicious pastries.
I really liked the lemon meringue pie, that's the closest to what you can taste in France (although the white chocolate on the top is not adding anything to the experience).
With each pastry, you can see different cooking techniques used to create each recipe.
The taste is good & the balance is here, but for me it sometimes lacked something to have an explosion of flavor.
I would definitely go back though since I only tried 3 pastries & there is a nice choice there :).
Go & enjoy it ;)
Friendly staff & delicious pastries that are not too sweet but rather have the rich flavor of ingredients. I do recommend ordering in advance if yiu want specific pastry or cake :)
I don't know what kind of witchcraft is going on here but these pastries are pure 🔥. The Kouign-Amann & Pain Suisse are the best versions of those pastries I've had anywhere.

What a gem I found. Googled for a bakery near me & Oh Petit Paris popped up. The posted pictures looked so good I decided to try it this morning. Great neighborhood. No car traffic in front of the bakery. Got there around 6:20 am for a fresh baguette, croissant oatmilk latte & coffee. OMG the pictures of the bread can only give you a small idea of how goog the bread & pastries are. One of the best baguettes I have had & the croissant was perfection. They had so many breads I wanted to try. The multi-grain will be my next choice tomorrow.
Some of the BEST pastries I've ever had - amazing flavour & flakiness. & great prices! You'd pay more than double for less tasty pastries in Toronto or elsewhere in the city. Wish I picked up more during my visit!
Possibly the best bakery/ café in Montreal, everything gets close to perfection: pastries, coffee, ambiance, interior design. I have rarely seen a more friendly & efficient service. It is difficult to find anything to improve, congratulations to the owner & staff. Highly recommended.
O Petit Paris is truly a gem in the city. Not only are their pastries absolutely delicious, but the presentation is also stunning. Each item is crafted with such attention to detail-it's like edible art! The quality of the ingredients really shines through in every bite, making it clear they care deeply about their products. If you're in Montréal & love high-quality pastries with beautiful designs, this place is a must-visit.

This bakery/pastry shop is pure eye candy. The presentation of the pastries is magnificent.
What impressed me the most was the service. The servers are very friendly yet professional. Handling the take-out & payment were super efficient. I'll come again to try different pastries
This is arguably now my favorite bakery in Montreal. They have an amazing collection of breads & pastries & all of them are extremely reasonably priced. It is hard to miss the shop if you are walking down Mont Royal street. The staff is always super friendly & helpful & give great recommendations, tailored to exactly what one is looking for. They have a place to sit inside as well. I love going back to this place!
Best place in Montreal to get your bread & pastries from. Their croissants are the best in the city, & even better than some I've had in France. The staff is super friendly. Prices are very fair. Quality is consistent. One of my favourite go-to spots!
