Dubai Chocolate crepe full of kunafa and pistachio cream with good amount of chocolate to drizzle on top. Kiddo went into chocolate overload with the C'ChoColat fondue. Black Jack was all chocolate, although sis didn't really care for the chocolate gelato as it was too icy and not creamy enough. Hubs had to go for the signature C'Wow - hot caramel poured at the table to watch the dome melt. Much bigger than hubs anticipated - plenty for table to share. Really sweet. Nice experience and good way to end our day.

I've tried Lloyd far too many times to count, I'm a hotel regular due to work travel and have been…read morefor breakfast, bites, cocktails, dinner, and ordered to the room. It's a beautiful restaurant, they cover a wide area within the hotel, including a lounge area, a more cocktail bar area, and a full restaurant set up. The beauty? They cover anything you might want. The downside? They're busy and usually severely behind schedule. I've been with great, consistent staff and I've been and left after 20 minutes of no check in. It can be hit or miss, but when it hits? It hits. They also provide the food that you order up to your room, which is probably my favorite part. Hotels rarely offer the same great menu to your room and so I always know when I've had a long workday that I can just get the same great dinner and lounge in bed after and avoid people. They also are great at getting breakfast to your door early, which makes trips to Montreal so much easier, especially if you're going for work. They always have a great selection of drinks, full bar so they offer everything, and the bartenders has been the same for at least a couple years. They're really nice. They do a good job. Ask for the food, it is always good, and the part I love is that they're very good about allergies when you mention it to them. They offer gluten-free bread and they change out ingredients. I've never had a bad meal or snack. So even when sometimes the weight is too long I know I'll be back another day and I'll have something great.

There is a bar in front with lounge style seating. It was eclectic and the music had a French twist. I ate lamb the first night and steak the night after. Both delicious but I liked the lamb better and the nioch was a nice touch. The thinly sliced fries with the steak was difficult to eat. The octopus was amazing and soft. Overall great and attentive staff and good food.

One had a subtle lemon flavor, and the cream puff (choux) was filled with a whole hazelnut inside--a nice surprise that I loved. What stood out was that they weren't overly sweet, which made them even more enjoyable. Prices were reasonable at around $7 each, and they do accept credit cards. Service was a bit on the slow side since there was only one person working, but overall it was fine.

Every location I went to was full but the line goes by quickly. This specific location is in old Montreal so if you're doing sightseeing it's a great spot to chill. The cafe crema is insane. The texture and flavor of this is something I've never had before. The coffee flavor is strong but not offensively strong. Even if you're not a fan of coffee I'd still suggest you try it. The affogato was lovely with the espresso and gelato mixing it creates that lovely icy texture on the outside. It is more pricey so I'd say the safe crema is the way to go.

Panic mode. Thankfully, this place saved the day with its warm and inviting ambiance. We grabbed coffees and croissants, and the owner was quick and efficient, getting us sorted in no time. Even at that ungodly hour, there were already two locals and a dog chatting with the patron--always a good sign of a neighborhood favorite. Can't complain at all. I'm in Vieux Montreal for a few more days and will definitely be back.

The matcha flavor in the soft serve is super strong and flavorful. Other ice cream places I've…read moretried in Montreal that offer matcha have very subtle green tea flavors rather than matcha but this is the pure stuff. The price is totally worth it with all of the toppings (red bean, mochi, kinako, matcha brownie, Rice Krispies). It's comparable to matcha maiko in the states, but much more reasonably priced.
