Famous French bakery from a legendary pastry chef, Christian Faure. This charming bakery offers many of my favorite pastries like Almond Croissants, macrons, chocolate croissants, napoleon pastry, and other sweets.
The Almond Croissants were amazing, flaky and tasty. My wife had their chocolate croissant, she felt in love with the pastry. You can tell that the chefs here put a lot of love into making these pastries.
Even though we didn't tried their macrons and napoleon pastries, from the look of them, we can tell that they should be very good.
Coffee and hot chocolate were fantastic. I had a latte while my wife ordered her usual hot chocolate. The latte was very aromatic and tasty. The hot chocolate was rich but not overpowering the taste buds.
The people of the cafe were very friendly. They patiently explained how each pastry is made and helped us to get the right drinks to match the pastries. The young lady who made the coffee for us happily took picture for us as she knew that most of the patrons like to have their pictures taken with the fascinating interior decor.
The vibe inside the cafe/pastry shop is charming with French decorations. You can lose yourself here and feeling like been in a classic cafe shop in Paris.

All the pastries here are fantastic. The croissants here are the highlight, but the other pastries are great as well. Highly recommended. The coffee however can be improved.

Are cakes a top 10 invention in human history? Actually that is a rhetorical question because the answer is obviously yes. Maison Christian Faure offers a variety of luscious looking cakes and macarons that are really solid. The flavors aren't great great (hence the 4 stars instead of 5), but good enough to make going here worthwhile when you have a hankering for some creative sweets. My only major issue is the space itself isn't the nicest looking for sitting and enjoying your time, though the service is quite friendly to make up for that to some degree.

nice environment to sit down and eat. The tropical fruit-based desserts are amazing. The Mont Blanc seems to have too much alcohol? or the the alcohol didn’t vaporize enough, tastes a little weird.

We had researched about this place and found that they serve the best Macaroons in the town. We decided to go this place fine late afternoon and got the box of 6 macaroons for $18, we got different flavors such as Vanilla, chocolate, caramel, lemon, raspberry and pistachio. Caramel was my favorite, while my wife liked pistachio. Must try place, they have few other options too such as cookies, pastries, etc.

charming little bakery with very kind and attentive staff! the sit-down brunch was fantastic and the pastries were also very delicious. i highly recommend trying their cakes, the chantilly cream hazelnut one was fantastic. the potatoes gratin were also some of the best i’ve ever tried. will definitely return for brunch in the future!

I had sit down lunch here on Friday December 10, 2021. The ambiance is beautiful, and the service was great. There were just a few notable moments during my visit.
I ordered a hot green tea, with a smoked salmon brioche and two macarons (pistachio and raspberry). They gave me a dirty coffee/tea cup for my tea so i had to ask for a new one from another waiter, my side salad was served to me with rotten lettuce and i chewed/bit on a fish bone in my smoked salmon. I would have taken a pic of the cup but brushed it off and just quickly asked for another cup. It wasn’t until seeing the salad and then biting into the fish bone that i decided it was worth a review.
Other than that, it was a good experience. The brioche bun was nice and the macarons were good, probably not as memorable as other macarons Ive had but decent.
If the cup was clean, and the lettuce/salad was fresh, I think i would have given a 4 star.

Pretty French Bakery is nestled in the heart of view Montreal. Fresh baked goods croissants, pastries, macaroons are well crafted by the chefs. Illy coffee and cappuccino compliments the nicely. Breakfast menu is only available on the weekends.

Les matieres premieres, les produits finis, la confection, le savoir-faire, le goût, c est du grand art et de l extase en bouche. Je recommande particulierement les gateaux a themes car rien n est impossible en fait et le Paris-Brest. Une vingtaine d annees a gouter ce gateau aux amandes de par le monde. C est le meilleur. Merci

Although the service was slow, the quality of the pasties and the Nicoise Salad was just superlative. Absolutely delicious. I would recommend anyone to visit this must-stop cafe!

I'm so disappointed with our visit today. I really like this place but the service was so poor I'm not sure it worth going again. The quality of food is great but I expect more when I pay premium prices.

3 stars only because our server was less than pleasant, everywhere but here we had encountered the friendliest most helpful people...so that was disappointing. However the decor was beautiful and the food was excellent.

Payer 18$ pour 6 macarons qui étaient secs ! C’est quand même impressionnant, avec la renommée qu’on vous connaît!!! Je suis excessivement déçue!
Victor Sung
Cute, stylish, good service, and above all, outstanding food from savory to sweet. A must visit if you are in Montreal.

Actually the best food I've ever eaten the framboisettes are so good and you actually can't go wrong with any choice.
My offer still stands for sacrificing my first born child for a location near me. (Washington DC/ Vancouver BC/Ottawa)

On a cold, rainy evening, I chanced upon this little café as I was exploring Montreal. A cup of delicious hot chocolate and a fresh, flaky chocolate croissant were the perfect accompaniments to the weather and I enjoyed it all by the window, looking out at the glistening Christmas lights of the city.
Friendly staff and a sumptuous dessert menu in a beautiful, quaint setting. Only wish is that the servers would explain the desserts better but I guess that's just a language disconnect.

La pâtisserie bonne mais le service très désagréable le monsieur avec des lunettes derrière le comptoir nous faisait beaucoup de pression et il lancé des assiettes en voulant démontrer qu'il était fâché. C'est pas la première fois que on a des mauvais expériences avec le service.
Alexandra Coignard
J'ai beaucoup aimé l'endroit. Les patisseries sont très bonnes, les viennoiseries excellentes mais un gros bémol au serveur autain qui aurait pût prendre une douche avant de venir travailler. Sentir l'odeur de la transpiration tout en mangeant une bonne pâtisserie n'est pas vraiment agréable. Et pour couronner le tout je lui ai demandé de changer mon verre d'eau qui était sale et il a vérifier dans les moindre details le verre en mettant en doute mon jugement avant d'accepter de me le changer contre un autre également sale !!!!

One of my favourite places in the whole world. From the day it opened Chef Faure and his team have shown a 10 star service that is unlike no other. It is like walking into something out of a movie with extravagant desserts, decorations, and a staff who is clearly happy to be there but somehow makes you feel right at home. "Pastry Faure Ever" � if you are from mtl or visiting you know where to go now.
