I've been dying to try this place located conveniently right down the street from the Sainte Anne metro stop. They make fresh kurtoskalacs, which are chimney cakes from Hungary. They have savory and sweet options, and they also offer small sides like frites and the bread itself, soups, and langos, along with formule menu options. The inside space is warm and very snug with only a few seats along a long table. I got the Fresh Fruit Kolo-Cone, and was originally told it would be three minutes, but ended up waiting a good 8-10 minutes (but I was in no rush and the man who was working by himself seemed overwhelmed with the number of customers that rushed in at once). The bread cone wasn't bad, but not spectacular. The outside was crunchy with the sugar, and the inside was a little softer, but remained pretty crunchy as well. There were fresh pineapples, kiwis, and tangerines inside the cone, topped with fresh whipped cream. Maybe it was just the menu item I ordered but I don't think the tart fruits paired well with not-so-sweet bread (this is what I get for trying to be healthy). the whipped cream melts almost immediately, and because the fruits are sitting in a warm cone, all the juices start pouring out like it's no one's business. I felt like I was pretty much just eating crunchy bread with cubed fruits. I tried the Apple Caramel Langos at a food market two months ago and it was delicious - deep fried dough covered in their housemade caramelized apples. The deep fried dough was fried perfectly and not too greasy, although the apple topping was a bit tooooo sweet for my liking. read more
