Spécialité à faire à Montréal, avec plusieurs options de garniture sucrés/sales. De manière personnel, j'ai apprécié même si ce n'est pas mon dessert préféré.
A noter les tables n'étaient pas forcément très bien nettoyées mais peut être que nous sommes venus au mauvais moment.

Really sweet store & good pastries. We took the kids for second dessert & they demanded that we come back for a pre lunch treat the next day.

I love it, I love it. A delicious local dessert that you can enjoy alone or with others. The service is fast & everyone is very friendly.
Even though it's always busy, they keep the tables clean.
I liked the remodel; there's more space for tastings inside the establishment. If I could give them 10 stars, they'd get them.

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.

Beaver tails is one iconic Canadian dish that every tourist, citizen tries once in a lifetime. A sweet dish with a beautiful mess I'll say. The best tasting simple yet affordable desserts. Must try the brownie, pistachio, oreo etc flavors. Quick grab & go type of food.
