Vienoisseries were decent. Croissant wasn't my favourite. Wish it had more of a crisp or chewiness.

Un vrai coin de Provence à Montréal
J'ai découvert ce lieu seulement quatre jours avant mon retour définitif en Provence, & je le regrette déjà - j'aurais voulu le connaître bien plus tôt. L'endroit est magnifique, chaleureux & les décors évoquent fidèlement tous les clichés charmants de ma région natale.
Les croissants chauds du matin sont exceptionnels, croustillants à l'extérieur & fondants à l'intérieur, tout simplement parfaits. Le café est délicieux, la pâtisserie semble raffinée (je n'ai pas testé), & l'accueil convivial.
Je recommande vivement ce lieu à tous ceux qui cherchent une pause gourmande authentique à Montréal. J'y retournerais sans hésiter si jamais je reviens à Montréal.
