The verdict
Go for a precise, slightly strange pastry that tastes like Québec rather than Paris. Order an individual dessert ($11) and a cannelé, and sit on the terrace if the weather allows. It is closed Monday and Tuesday, so aim for Wednesday or Thursday.
- Listed first in Tourisme Montréal's upscale pastry guide
- Pastry chef from Brittany with Montréal hotel and fine-dining experience
- Mélilot replaces vanilla across the desserts
