Les queues de castor sont très bonnes, comme toujours, mais j'ai été très déçu par le chocolat chaud. Ça avait le goût d'eau chaude avec un soupçon de chocolat en poudre. Quand je prends un chocolat chaud dehors je m'attends à avoir du lait & au moins avec un bon goût de chocolat. Le résultat est bien meilleur quand je le fais chez moi en 30 secondes avec du Nesquik en poudre. Vraiment dommage...

If you're needing something to handle the pastry & chocolate/sweet urge this is a good option. 1 is enough for 1 person but it's also rich & can be shared if needed.

Beavertails seem to be a Canadian thing - since I'm an out of towner, I wanted to try. According to Google: a beavertail is'a Canadian pastry, specifically a flat, fried dough treat shaped like a beaver's tail, & is often topped with various sweet toppings like cinnamon sugar, chocolate, or fruit. It's a popular Canadian dessert, especially in Ontario & Quebec.'

I got the pistachio nord, which they were advertising. It's pistachio cream drizzled over the chocolate beavertail. It was pretty sweet, but it was also very tasty.

I visited during summer, & it was so hot inside. There was little to no AC. The line seems long, but it goes by pretty quickly. The inside is pretty with some seating.

Credit card/Apple Pay accepted.

Si vous venez à Montréal il faut aller manger une queue de castor. C'est juste pour goûter, c'est bon . J'ai pris la chocolat banane. C'est bien garni .Sinon le service est super & le cadre est très sympa. Pour le reste je n'ai malheureusement pas eu le temps de goûter par manque de temps, dommage .

My first ever beaver tails. The dough/pastry part had such good flavor to it, which shows the care they put into every part. The toppings were appropriately rich & sweet. The chocolate chaud was top notch. I'm honestly making this comment so in the future, when I come back to montreal, I can have another one.
