Run by pastry chefs Thierry Andrieu and Julien Reignier, this chic pastry shop/ice cream parlour on Mont-Royal Street welcomes a non-stop flow of customers. Especially known for it's amazing macaroons.
Overall, reviews describe Point G as a standout for authentic French macarons in Montreal, offering a wide and creative range of flavours with a texture that balances a crisp shell and a creamy center. Customers praise freshness, vibrant colours, and the ability to delight casual sweets lovers and corporate orders alike, with fast delivery and friendly, professional service that resolves issues quickly. Some friction is noted in the checkout experience, such as being charged for a bag or facing a separate step to bag the order, and a Valentine order had a substitution from Strawberry Hearts to Matcha without advance notice. While many find the macarons delicious and not overly sweet, a few reviewers felt some batches tasted industrial or the packaging resembled factory packaging, and prices are viewed as high by some. Flavour highlights mentioned include chocolate noir, mimosa, pistachio, caramel, lychee raspberry, candy cane, and Matcha, with positive notes on balance and intensity. Overall it is described as a go to in Montreal for macarons and a solid choice for gifts or events due to the variety and quality.
@neilfoula - Les meilleurs macarons que j'ai manger de toute ma vie 🤤 Celui que j'ai gouté etait au Noix Coco 🥥 Je vous recommande Point G plaisirs gourmands 🥰
Une belle place offrant de très bon macarons. Ce n'est pas les meilleurs que j'ai eu la chance de manger cependant il reste dans les hauts de la liste. Je recommande cet endroit.
I hadn't been in a few years but their deal of 1$ per macaron was just too good to ignore. The light & airy little bites of fresh melt-in-your mouth goodness were a great treat (& were consumed very quickly because they're not very filling) While all of them were delicious some flavours (such as Red Velvet, Chocolate & Raspberry) were really amazing. Maybe we won't let 4 years pass before we go again this time 😅

C'est bien beau votre événement à 1$ le macaron, mais ne pas offrir l'emballage, c'est pas très fort ! L'emballage était seulement pour les précommandes !
Habitons en region, le service de livraison est parfait pour nous. Service rapide, très bien emballé & tout a fait délicieux. De plus, vous pouvez concocter votre propre coffret de macarons. Bravo & merci à toute l'équipe.

Plaisir sucré en tout genre, j'adore y passer lors de ma visite au marché jeans talon ! J'aime particulièrement les macarons & les natas, mais tout est délicieux !
We ordered a box of 36 assorted macarons for a birthday event. Great presentation & promptly delivered. Pistachio is my favourite macaron & we were disappointed that it didn't have a pistachio taste at all -- several of us tried it & aside from the colour, you couldn't tell that it was pistachio, as if they had forgotten the flavour. Raspberry-Litchee which was a new flavour for us was divine though & the other macarons were good too. Would order again...save for the pistachio!
A beautiful shop. I have been here often & the service is superb, the staff have always been friendly. The best deal for macarons is the box of 24 for 38 & there is a wide variety to choose from. Its a little walk from the metro Mont royal but this time of the year, the lights are so so pretty. Perfect for a gift or to bring as a snack/dessert for loved ones.
