We are a café, caterer, and pastry shop. We offer pastries in the morning, quiches, sandwiches, and pastries inspired by Japanese cuisine, all made on-site.
Overall, the reviews describe Patisserie Bervig as a standout in Montreal for delicious, expertly crafted desserts and pastries made on site. Guests note delicate, well layered treats with a pleasing balance of sweet and tart, from custard buns and Parisian flan to pear tart, pistachio croissant and a wide range of savory pastries and sandwiches. The menu blends French tradition with subtle Japanese influence, featuring items like kumo nuage, matcha framboise tart, hojicha creme brulee and a rich hot chocolate. The service is warm and friendly, and the bright, cozy interior complements a strong reputation as a must visit for breakfast, brunch or a dessert stop in the Old Port. Many visitors consider the pastries among the best in town and say they would return again.
A Japanese-style pastry shop in Montreal. I ordered Kumo (cloud shaped mousse dessert) 5/5. It was rich, aromatic, & not overly sweet, Easily a 5/5 anyone who prefers less-sweet desserts.
We visited this pastry shop as a group of four & honestly the experience did not match the hype at all. The desserts were good, but the service completely ruined it for us. Almost all of our orders came out wrong even after we repeated them clearly multiple times. I ordered a hojicha drink & got matcha instead. We also got the wrong parfait twice & ended up receiving the marron parfait instead of the strawberry vanilla parfait we originally asked for.The staff also seemed impatient & dismissive while taking our orders, which already made things uncomfortable. What really upset us was being told to leave within an hour after finishing our food, while the table beside us - who had been there longer than us - were allowed to stay & even received complimentary gifts. The difference in treatment was very obvious & honestly felt disrespectful. At some point it stopped feeling like just'bad service' & started feeling like selective treatment & discrimination, which is especially disappointing considering how much businesses talk about diversity, equity, inclusion & belonging nowadays. Customers should be treated fairly & respectfully regardless of who they are. Good desserts are not enough to make up for how unwelcome we felt. Definitely not an experience we would want to repeat.
Good desserts, mediocre service. Friends ordered a strawberry vanilla parfait & got a marron instead. Another ordered a hojicha drink but got matcha instead. The owner also insisted we leave after one hour. It's understandable since it was about to be peak hours, but we would have appreciated a notice of it before we order & for this rule to be applied to other people too since some we've noticed have been staying for even longer than us. Either way, it was unpleasant to eat there.
I love that that they added some more vintage tables in the store. It added more vibe. The desserts & pastries from their regular menu are great! Their participation in Japanese week is super fun too. I personally find the chestnut cream in the parfait a bit too sweet & tastes maple. But the other components are great! Not overpowered by sweetness. We love the katsu sando!
Honestly, I am very disappointed with how we were treated at the café. We came to enjoy some good food & a fun decorating activity with friends, but we were kicked out in less than an hour. The same treatment was not given to other customers who were there before us. We understand that lunch service was starting & that there would be many customers, but fairness should be applied to everyone, not just a particular group of people.
Furthermore, while ordering, my friends & I did not receive what we asked for. There were several mistakes. I ordered a hojicha latte but received a matcha instead. My friend ordered a'fruit rouge' parfait but was given a'marron parfait.' The worker (or owner) was also very impatient during the situation. We chose not to say anything further to avoid making a big deal out of it, but all these small issues made the experience quite unpleasant.
Overall, this was not a good start to'La semaine Japon,' an event we were really looking forward to.
Incroyable experience !! Tout ce que j'ai commandé était divin. Sans exagerer, le parfait au marrons que j'ai mangé pour la semaine du Japon a cette patisserie était dans les meilleurs desserts de ma vie... pour moi qui est travailler dans la restauration 5 etoiles... je trouve que ce restaurant qui fait tout de façon artisanale est extra attentionné sur les details.
Leurs gateaux sont des oeuvre d'art. Les prix sont raisonnables & ce, sans parler de la qualité de chaque produits utilisés. Dans mes top endroits à Montréal. 💗
Belle découverte avec mon neveu pâtissier.
Très proche de la basilique. Une belle rose praliné chocolat, une tartelette mangue fromage, une amendière à la poire. Semaine du Japon.
We were lucky to have air bnb next door. We bought coffee & breakfast daily as well as one of almost all of their many pastries for our group to try. It was fun to sample all the'fancy' desserts. Everything was delicious & fresh. The owner was very friendly & we enjoyed visiting his shop. Thank you for being a memorable part of our Montreal vacation.

Marriage parfait entre le Japon & la France. L'omelette au riz est recomamdé. Surtout avec leur ketchup maison. La rose est aussi belle que délicieux. Les gens sont charmants. Excellent service
Quelle belle découverte!
Nous avons été attirée par la note Google, la façade nous semblait peu inspirante, mais ne vous laissez pas prendre par cette impression.
À l'intérieur, des propriétaires passionnés, des desserts qui donnent l'eau à la bouche. On a pris le temps de nous expliquer l'inspiration, la recherche des saveurs dans la création - & franchement, les meilleurs desserts de l'île. 💙

We ate some unbelievable food during our Montreal vacation… but this'Notre Dame Rose' Gateaux Cake is easily the most delicious thing we've ever had the pleasure to stuff our faces with.
ASK FOR YOUR RECEIPT & CHECK IF YOU HAD TIP ADDED WITHOUT CONSENT
I like the cakes & pastries here & pop in when looking for a treat. I live the neighbourhood.
This evening I went with my daughter & she wanted to pick the cakes as a surprise. We agreed that she would choose 3 & I would pay.
It was fun for us, however the proprieter sneakily added a 15% tip & made sure that I didn't see it.
At the payment, I noticed the price jump as high covered the screen & made his selection. I asked for the receipt, as I felt that it was suspicious but wanting to maintain the fun for a four year old feeling independant. Checking it later I realised what he had done.
I was going to add a tip as he had played along & because I like the desserts.
I'm quite saddened by this experience especially & feel unnecessarily cheated.
