Review Summary

Queues de Castor - BeaverTails draws praise for its beaver tails, described as addictive with a dough that is crispy on the outside and soft inside, topped with a wide range of toppings from Nutella banana to pistachio cream, and for poutine that many find delicious and generously loaded, though a few note the cheese curds are not always squeaky. Service is repeatedly described as friendly and fast, but busy periods can slow things down since one cashier handles orders, and the space can feel tight with limited indoor seating. The venue is noted as clean and charming with a cute vibe and merch available, making it a worthwhile stop in Montreal's old quarter for visitors from abroad and locals alike, even as some point out hot chocolate can be disappointing. Overall the experience emphasizes quality and value, with beaver tails and poutine as the main draws and the atmosphere as a pleasant bonus.

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.

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.

We cannot leave without try the beaver tails dessert. This place is clean, cozy & enjoyable. Definitely everyone should be able to enjoy. We tried hazelnut & pistachio with hot chocolate. Definitely will be back.

Very good but too fat sweet food. It deserves a visit though. Cookies, pastries & chocolate cremes are all good. The staff is also good.
