It's hard to pick as each item looks better than the last. Sticking with the basics though, croissant, almond filled croissant and a hazelnut roll. Oh my gosh. The almond filling was amazing. Like a marzipan but lighter and more almond flavor. Generously filled into a sliced croissant. The hazelnut roll;similiar to a cinnamon roll but an elevated taste with real hazelnut paste. Basically everything in that bakery is top drawer as they are using pure ingredients. Definitely stop in and try anything. No disappointments only regrets that you eat more!

The place is huge when you walk in, lots of places to sit and enjoy you baked good. We got coffees to go and two cheese croissants and a toasted smoked salmon bagel. The cheese croissants were fresh, fluffy, buttery and layered. They just do pastries better in QC than home (Vancouver). The cheese was nicely distributed through the croissant too. My salmon bagel was also a star! So fresh, good toppings and great crunch. The bagel was chewy and delicious too. Service was fast and we enjoyed everything we had!

It has that effortless charm that makes you want to linger a little longer. They offer a great selection of sandwiches, baked goods, and pastries -- everything displayed beautifully and clearly made with care. I ordered a chocolate croissant, ham & brie sandwich, and a matcha latte. - The croissant was flaky with a rich chocolate centre. - The sandwich was fresh, generously filled, and well balanced. - The matcha latte was smooth and not overly sweet. Portions are solid, ingredients taste fresh, and prices are very reasonable for the quality. A lovely spot to pop into when you're in the area.

This is a bright, airy, and inviting cafe with several tables and a long counter facing the street for seating. Friendly and welcoming service. I really liked the vibe inside the cafe. It is located about 1.5 blocks behind the Delta hotel on Rene Lévesque Boulevard and a walkable distance to the entrance of the historic part of old Quebec City. I had the New York Roll Croissant, filled with a raspberry pastry cream and a white chocolate ganache on the outside. I loved it! My matcha latte with oat milk could have been a little warmer. I highly recommend a visit to this cafe!

The raspberry cheesecake (un gâteau du fromage aux framboise) was creamy smooth with a perfect balance of sweet and tart.

If you're not that hungry, you can get away with sharing just a Jr size of any of these poutines and get pretty full since it's so hearty. We also thought the restaurant was more upscale looking than we expected and it was incredibly kid-friendly.

Picture this: soft snow falling on the cobblestone streets of Petit-Champlain, fairy lights glowing, and the warm light spilling out of this beautiful little café. I ducked in both mornings of my short trip and could have happily stayed all day. The interior is perfect Québécois charm: exposed stone walls, wooden beams, cozy lighting, and that unbeatable smell of fresh baking. First morning I ordered the pistachio latte and the quiche Florentine. I would legitimately sell my firstborn for that pistachio latte: silky, perfectly balanced, with a rich, natural pistachio flavor that no syrup could ever match. One sip and I was ruined for life. The quiche was flawless: buttery, flaky crust, creamy spinach-and-cheese filling, baked to golden perfection. Absolute breakfast heaven. I braved a full-on snowglobe blizzard the next morning just to come back. This time I paired the same life-changing pistachio latte with the almond croissant. I'd hand over my other kid for daily access to these croissants (kidding... mostly). Impossibly crisp and flaky outside, cloud-soft inside, generously stuffed with fragrant almond paste, topped with toasted almonds and powdered sugar. I ate it slowly by the window while the snow piled up on Rue Notre-Dame and honestly felt like the luckiest person alive. The baristas were friendly, the vibe warm and unhurried, and everything was flawless. If you're in Quebec City, make La Maison Smith non-negotiable (and budget time to visit at least twice). Five stars isn't enough. This place is winter-morning perfection.
