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.

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.

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.

Cozy dessert location. Not a lot of places inside but it's meant for takeout. Beavertails are always made fresh & the service was quick.

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.
