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!

I like this place because from the moment I walked in, I am greeted with the warmest welcome. The atmosphere is cozy & inviting & all staff there are friendly - perfect for relaxing with a cup of coffee & a treat.
A special mention goes to Duaa, who made the visit even more enjoyable. Her kindness, genuine smile, & attentive service really stood out. She made me feel right at home.
Highly recommend stopping by if you're looking for a comforting spot with exceptional service. I'll definitely be coming back soon

J'ai eu la chance de goûter à plusieurs pâtisseries, notamment le Chocolat Dubaï & le haytaliye, & honnêtement c'est un vrai coup de coeur ! 🥰
C'est, selon moi, la meilleure pâtisserie à Montréal : des saveurs raffinées, une qualité exceptionnelle & un vrai voyage gustatif.
Je recommande à 100 % !

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.

Je viens d'avoir la meilleure expérience client avec la fantastique Paula. Uber avait par 2 fois aujourd'hui négligé de livrer ma commande. J'ai contacté le magasin & à chaque fois Paula allait au delà de ce qui est attendu pour essayer de m'aider. Elle a recommandé une solution finalement qui ne dépend pas de Uber. Merci Paula. Vous êtes superbe. Mahrouse vous avez un diamant.

The closest to home. I pick up boxes of Syrian desserts for myself & as gifts every time I visit Montreal. They keep the ingredients & quality fresh & on point. So far I highly recommend this place for authentic desserts.

Mahrousé is a must-visit for anyone with a sweet tooth! Their baklava is perfectly crisp, buttery, & not overly sweet. The variety of Middle Eastern sweets is impressive, & everything tastes fresh & authentic. Friendly service & a cozy atmosphere make it even better. Highly recommend
