Review Summary

Overall, Pâtisserie Mahrouse draws praise for fresh, flavorful Middle Eastern sweets, especially knafeh and baklava, with reviewers calling the pastries authentic, well made and generously varied, and the downtown location a welcome convenience that saves a long drive. The atmosphere is often described as beautiful and inviting, with warm, attentive staff that make guests feel at home, though a few visits note uneven attention during busy times and one comment about certain desserts being drier than usual. Quality and flavor are repeatedly affirmed, and the assortment of traditional treats such as maamoul, nammoura and halawet jebne is highlighted along with the option to sample items and the pairing of coffee, cardamom Arabic coffee or Turkish coffee. Prices are sometimes described as on the higher side but justified by freshness and ingredients, with some criticism about limited availability of individual pieces at certain hours and the occasional use of disposable containers that detracted from the dining experience. Still, the consensus is that the patisserie is a standout in its category, offering superb pastries, a charming decor and consistently strong service that keeps customers returning.

Mahrouseh is truly a gem. From the moment you step inside, you are transported to another time & place. The oriental décor is absolutely mind-blowing-filled with beautiful antique pieces that instantly remind you of an old Damascene house, complete with a charming fountain in the middle. The atmosphere alone is worth the visit.
As for the desserts, the selection is outstanding. They offer a wide variety of traditional Arabic/Eastern desserts as well as Western options, all prepared with exceptional quality & care. The taste is simply amazing. I ordered Halawet El Jibn, a very traditional Syrian dessert made from semolina, cheese, blossom water, & syrup topped with crushed pistachios-& it was perfection. They also serve Kunafeh & many, many other delicious desserts that are hard to resist.
The staff are incredibly friendly & welcoming, which adds even more to the experience. I even asked why they don't open a new branch in BC, & the answer truly impressed me. They explained that maintaining the highest quality is their top priority, & they refuse to compromise by sending their chefs elsewhere-even though they receive requests to open branches in many major cities across the USA & Canada.
That level of dedication says everything. I'm very pleased to have visited Mahrouseh, & it's a place I would happily return to again & again. Highly recommended!

If you're craving authentic Syrian pastries, this place is a hidden gem. The moment you walk in, you're greeted with a warm smile & exceptional service-something that feels natural & genuine in every good Syrian spot. The shop is spotless & well-organized, which adds to the overall great experience.

Yes, the prices are a bit on the higher side, but you get what you pay for: quality. The pastries are absolutely delicious, freshly made, & packed with rich, traditional flavors. This is where you come when you want the good stuff-treats that actually taste like home.

Highly recommended if you're looking for a clean, welcoming place with top-tier Syrian delights.

One of the best places (if not the best!) in Montréal to eat Arabic sweets! Baklava, knafek ... you name it! You can tell it is the best, because this where all Arabs in Montréal go :) One amazing thing they also have that is not highlighted enough, is their great Turkish coffee! The place is so classy & elegant; it is the perfect place to meet friends in Montréal. The owners & staff are the friendliest, & they take customer service to new levels! Whenever I am traveling to Canada I make sure to transit in Montréal, & even if I only have a couple of hours layover, I rent a car & go bring Marousé baklava & knafek to my family ... that is the main thing they really miss from Montréal :) Highly highly recommend!
