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!

A Hidden Gem of Sweet Perfection - Pâtisserie Mahrouse

If you're looking for authentic Middle Eastern sweets made with love & tradition, **Pâtisserie Mahrouse** is an absolute must-visit. From the moment you walk in, you're welcomed by the inviting aroma of fresh pastries & the genuinely warm hospitality of the staff, who make you feel like family.

Their baklava is truly exceptional-delicately crisp layers, perfectly balanced sweetness, & a rich filling of pistachios or walnuts that melts in your mouth. You can tell everything is made with care & high-quality ingredients. The variety of traditional Arabic desserts they offer is impressive, from maamoul & nammoura to their signature knefeh, each one beautifully crafted & bursting with flavor.

Don't leave without trying their cardamom Arabic coffee- fragrant, smooth, & the perfect pairing with the sweetness of the pastries. It's served with a smile & a sense of tradition that adds to the entire experience.

Whether you're stopping in for a box of treats or sitting down to enjoy a dessert with coffee, Mahrouse delivers both quality & comfort. A true treasure for lovers of fine sweets & heartfelt service.

In my opinion, the absolute best Middle Eastern style pastry shop in all of Montreal. The baklavas are delicious, the service is impeccable, & the decor is beautiful. I make an effort to always pass by & grab a box of fresh pastries when I'm in the area.

This patisserie shop is hands down the best in town! While it's a bit pricier than other places, the quality is on another level-you're truly paying for what you get. Not only can you enjoy a wide variety of delicious treats & sweets, but you can also sit inside, have a hot beverage, & soak in the Middle Eastern vibe. They even sell beautiful tea sets & other items perfect for hosting guests. The selection of sweets & combos is extensive & absolutely delicious! Don't forget to take a look at their website if you're unsure about what to get. They have it all there.

Nice place if you love sweetness of middle eastern desserts such as baklavas, cookies or bouza ice cream. You can taste the difference in the quality of their pastries from other places who sells the same kind of sweet. Besides this one, they also have another one located downtown near the Bell Center.

Nice arabe pastries. A must try! Update: Honestly they have the best hallawet jibn I find. Always good & consistent. They also have a lot of other sweets that I tried for the first time & loved (don't really know the names). I recently tried their baklava & it was delicious! The employees are very kind! I love it when they make me try new things (that's how I discovered more stuff!) The atmosphere is very nice, feels very middle eastern. Makes you want sit down & drink coffee/tea with some dessert!
