Japanese anime Crêpe cafe!! what can you say it's a mixture fusion French crepe with Japanese matcha drinks and coffee. Perfectly located in Old town Montreal. After a fun adventure exploring old town in the morning, this cafe is a perfect place to indulge and replenish to explore more. I love the fusion of savory and sweet crepes and unique dishes that I can't wait to try more of.
My GOD!!!!! I have to hand it to this place for the insane crème brûlée Crêpe. First of all that's not a typical item you find around town, so major plus points for the innovation of this menu item. But in addition to it being creative, it was ingeniously created with the best possible flavors you could imagine. It was delicious as well as true creativity in food. I like crème brûlée, so when I had this I was thinking how bad could it be, I like crepes and I like crème brûlée, the worst thing would be that I only like it and not love it. I also noticed it was their most popular dish.. So I decided to give it a go. The torched sugar was just the right thickness on top so that it was easy to break and not cause a spillage of the custard, but I also noticed some brown sugar sauce or flavor existed towards the middle and bottom of the crepe which I thought was genius as the flavor from the first few bites remained in your pallet. It was subtle but still there to some small degree. I realized this once I ate half of it but there was bananas towards the middle and bottom and luckily custard and the other flavors were still mixed in, and all over the crepe too. So there was never a point from start to finish that the fabulous taste of this Crêpe diminished in any way. When I was done with it, I was dumbfounded thinking.. wow.. I didn't know a crepe could ever be that good. My go to dessert is typically not a crepe so that really got me shocked. I also had a savory crepe, it was the ham and cheese one and it had an egg over easy on it when it broke added a lot of nice flavor. It was good but I got some hot sauce on the side for it to kick it up a little notch. The Natella chocolate Crêpe was good too but it really can't compare to the crème brûlée one. The service is really fast and friendly here and I've enjoyed every interaction. I had an iced matcha latte last time I came here with white chocolate pumps, and it was great too.
Amazing Crêpe and a wide menu to select vegetarian, egg , savory or sweet crepes. Ambience is inviting.
The matcha latte was pretty good. Crepe was pretty good as well. It's not excitingly good but crepe is crepe. This place is a got nice ambiance for hang out.
I really wanted to love this place but the savoury crépe (M12) and salted caramel latte did not do it for me. The latte was too sweet and coffee was acidic. I could not finish the drink. The crepe was just fine, nothing too special. I would recommend the sweet crepe (the brûlée) was delicious! Not too sweet and a fun concept. Even though I'm not a fan of bananas it worked well in the crepe. The portion is a good size to share with another person.
This breakfast changed my life lol The crepe crème brûlée are what dreams are made of. The yogurt bowl was also fantastic. This is a cute small place near water Definitely returning
Okay so I really wanted to like this place...I really did...but I am soo disappointed. So first impression was good, as we walked up it really did look like the absolute cutest cafe. The decor is nothing spectacular but it's very quaint and cute and you feel like you are literally transported into a French cafe (I mean it's Montréal so this is to be expected). Major PRO: the staff was extremely friendly! The girl at the front counter was nice and hospitable. I ordered the rose latte because I saw it on there online menu yet it was not posted on the board inside. It did not seem to be an issue she knew exactly what I wanted. Another PRO: The bathroom all though small and you have to ask for a key to use it, was very clean! Okay now for the CONS.... I hate being charged for plant based milk. I get it, it's popular but come on you are telling me that soaking oats that cost nothing makes me have a surcharge over someone having to feed, house, and then milk a living animal!? Makes no sense, and I do accept the fact that most establishments do this, but still it will always be a con in my book. 2nd Con is that Parking is terrible by the cafe. Not the cafes fault at all, they just happen to be adjacent to Old Montréal and the Port so it's a popular area. But I still thought I would mention it incase you are planning to drive here. *** So now for my MAJOR CON: For me to pay $6 CAD for a drink (which includes my plant based milk surcharge) it should be great or at least good but it was far from it. First of all, the whole reason I went to this cafe is because they had amazing latte art posted online. I'm talking like owls and other animals that almost look 3D. The latte art I got was just something regular, whomp whomp whomp. Then the drink just wasn't good. It had no rose flavoring and it was definitely over saturated with oat milk. Now don't get me wrong it wasn't nasty it just tasted like coffee with a bunch of milk. In my husbands words, " that drink was whack." Now if it wasn't $6 CAD maybe I wouldn't be so salty about it but since it was that expensive for a small latte, I was very salty! I honestly wanted to go back in the store and ask if they could exchange it for a matcha. I knew I should have ordered a matcha, they offered two on there menu- regular & chocolate. I mean I really really really wanted to ask them to exchange it, but I didn't. I will say to be fair people were eating inside the cafe when we went and the food looked good but we didn't try it, so maybe that's worth it? And maybe the rose latte is just terrible and that's why they took it off the inside menu? So maybe there is hope for there matcha and other drinks?! Just a tip to the cafe, they should probably take the rose latte off of there online menu too. Don't trick people into ordering cool sounding drinks that don't deliver. It should more appropriately be titled milk latte with a few dried rose petals spread on top. That would then be 100% factual. So until I have extra money to blow and I can take the risk of trying other things this cafe has to offer, I'm leaving this review at two stars because there are way too many awesome cafes in Montréal for this cafe not to bring their A game!
This place is such a cute brunch place! I discovered it thanks to my partner and I liked it! It's an Asian-inspired coffee place and I noticed there's a tiny bit of Hayao Miyazaki's "Totoro" in it! It's well-located in the Old Montréal. Service was a little bit slow but I think it was because I was the first customer of the day and they were opening. The staff was polite. I got a cappuccino with an "oeuf viande déjeuner". It was a regular classic breakfast but it was pretty good. Prices are not bad for an early breakfast/brunch.
Very cute Totoro/Miyazaki themed restaurant in Montreal. Cappuccino even had Totoro which was a nice touch. We had the omelette with cheese and vegetables. It came with fresh fruit and potatoes. The fruits were very tasty. TBH the omelette was cold inside which is why I gave it 4 stars rather than 5. My friend also ordered the creme brûlée crepe which he said was phenomenal. I think overall their specialty is crepes. Bathroom was very nice and clean with its own heater which is a nice touch on a cold day. Very helpful and attentive staff. Overall a good experience-next time I would ask for the omelette to be cooked longer.
Adorable little restaurant. The staff was very attentive. We ordered cappuccino that hit the spot along w two crepes one savory abs the other sweet! Both were delish
Short distance of walk for the museums! Very homey and cozy establishment with local owners!! Amazing customer service and food to match them! I love cappuccino and had to pack for to go since it was cold outside!
The cafe is super cute and located really close to our Airbnb. I loved the atmosphere of the cafe. It was clean and the waitress was super friendly. We ordered a cappuccino, a classic crepe, a Trois frommages crepe, and a creme brûlée crepe. The cappuccino art was absolutely adorable and the cappuccino was nice. The creme brûlée crepe was really interesting--it was literally a crime brûlée in a crepe cone. I liked the trois frommages crepe plus it came with a salad on the side which is always a plus. The prices were reasonable--my trois frommages crepe ended up being around $17 cad including tip. Nice cafe! I would recommend for crepe-seekers.
All I would like to say is: wow amazing cafe art! Love the lattes. Came here last weekend after lunch, so we didn't order brunch menu. We only ordered two cups of latte and cookies. The cookies are delicious They also have a lot of choices of crepe.

The crepes were very yummy especially mine with ham and cheese. My cappuccino was excellent with a very cute Totoro monster in foam. Loved the decor and the service was excellent. read more
We heard about this place. Then planned to go, but kinda forgot about it. We turned a corner.......and BAM ***Totoro Cafe***. Pronounced Muru Crêpe. We immediately became hungry and went in. Everywhere you look "My Neighbor Totoro" Pictures, puzzles, plushies, wall art, etc. You name it. Some stuff is for sale, some looks way too nice to sell. We sat at the counter, and just looked around at all Studio Ghibli stuff. We looked at the menu for a bit, then ordered. I had the Bol de Yogurt, and she had a Crepe Fabuleux. The lunch was good ! But even if it wasn't, we'd still go for Totoro. read more
I had seen social media post about this place and wondered if I would ever visit but while walking around Montreal, we happen to stumble upon it so we had to go in. We were quickly sat at the counter where you're face-to-face with Totoro and studio Ghibli merchandise, which was fun to look at and take pictures of. We didn't order any of the hot drinks that had a Totoro design on it, but the espresso and the rose iced tea were pretty good. My fabuleux crepe was...fabulous. I loved the soft thin crepe with the warm savory delicious filling paired perfectly with a side salad! The yogurt bowl with brulee'd bananas was also very good. My only complaint was the long line for the bathroom but I suppose during lunch/brunch rush that's unavoidable. I just wish I didn't have to wait by an open garbage bin. Staff were friendly and all smiles. I'd recommend this spot to visit at least once especially if you're a Totoro fan! read more

Came in for late lunch. Little drizzling rain and feeling like udon but opted for the D'Accord crepe. Really good. Came with a side garden salad which was amazingly lush and green. The dressing was simple, light and refreshing. Nice bright space. Lots of natural light and high ceilings. It's nice here after the lunch rush because its nice and mellow, good music, a perfect place to do a little work. Took the time to write out some plans for an upcoming project when the young ladies at a couple tables down started talking about Kate Spade. I was like WTF??? So I joined their conversation. Ugh...so heartbreaking. Remember to love your loved ones people. And to be gentle with strangers. You never know what they are going through. read more

We quickly shifted plans and headed for this spot for crepes when another was closed for breakfast. We watched the staff hustle, and I mean hustle, post F1 race when I'm guessing it was one of the busiest days of the year. Service was great, Nutella crepe and chai latte amazing, priced reasonable. My only regret is not ordering what seems to be the signature crime brûlée crepe. read more
February 21, 2019 - After visiting Notre-Dame Basilica (MTL) we decided to go for lunch. We looked for a café in the area and decided to go to Muru Café. This wonderful family owned restaurant is very clean, cozy and cute. The owner was very friendly and nice. My cousins ordered the D'accord and Creme Brûlée. I ordered something a Smoked Salmon Sandwich. D'accord 4/5 - My cousin said that the mustard was in one area of the Crêpe and it over powered it. Creme Brûlée 5/5 - we all loved it!! When I come back I will definitely come back Smoked Salmon Sandwich 5/5 - My cousin and I liked it a lot. She hates smoked meat, onions and tomatoes. But when she tried the sandwich she liked it. Staff 5/5 read more

Thank you for the review~~ hope to see you soon at muru crepe~
This goes down on my list of best breakfasts. Top 5? Yeah, I think so. We went on a Friday morning in May and it was my most memorable meal of the dozen or so that I had in Montreal! My wife had the creme brulee crepe, I had a savory crepe. The coffee was great and the matcha latte (as you can see from the picture) had the most amazing artwork. The location was near the heart of the Old Port district, but it was a couple of blocks away from the center of everything. Actually, I think that helps keep the vibe. If it was right on the main square or near the basilica, you might have tourists wander in. As it is, though, people have to seek this place out and that's what we did. I can't imagine there are more creative crepes in town and there certainly isn't better latte art! The atmosphere was good: it's small, calm, and clean. The service was fine and I thought the prices were a bit on the high side. If we are ever back in Montreal, I will try this spot at lunch. read more

This is a charming creperie at the edge of the old city, quiet and surrounded by elegant restaurants and a mix of modern and older apartments. The crepe filled with chicken, spinach, and a well-seasoned mushroom sauce was excellent. This was accompanied by perfect battered fries and a salad with fresh greens, tomatoes, and a dressing made from a very flavorful olive oil. It was an excellent light meal all together. My husband got a crepe filled with mozzarella cheese, beef, eggplant, and some additional Italian vegetables. It was a little too cheesy for our tastes, so be prepared. Their espresso drinks are definitely worth a stop on their own. We enjoyed a cappuccino and a caramel macchiato while sitting by the window and watching a sudden lightning storm roll by. They let you relax and enjoy the space as long as you'd like. read more
This is a cute crepe place we saw on yelp. Decided to give it a try for lunch. The chicken pesto sandwich was delicious. 5 of 5. The crepe I ordered didn't turn out so well. First it was brought out with the salmon still in it despite ordering with no meat. Next one out I discovered that the eggs were raw not scrambled. Made the best of it but wasn't my favorite. The flavor was dominated by a mushroom sauce. Needed a spoon instead of a fork. The desert crepe was delicious. Service was friendly and attentive despite the mistake on the order. read more

This was our first stop for breakfast once we got to Montreal. It was a clean friendly environment. Most impressively, we were treated to an art latte demonstration by the 2016-2017 Montreal Grand Champion. It was a lovely welcome and my cinnamon honey latte was a-mazing! Great food and wonderful service! read more

Disappointed by my first crepe experience in Montreal, I still wanted a crepe! Yelp, once again, came to my rescue and I found Crepe Cafe to go to after checking out the Notre Dame cathedral. It's a small, well decorated place that was able to accommodate us for lunch around the prime lunch hour. Here's what we ordered: -deliciuex ($9.50): filled with grilled eggplant, parmesan and mozzarella cheese, tomato sauce and choice of beef, chicken (what I choose) or veggies -incroyable ($9.50): filled with bocconcini (Italian cheese; like mozzarella), tomatoes, pesto, olives, fresh basil and pine nuts -magnifique ($7.50): filled (and I mean, FILLED) with Nutulla, bananas and strawberries with whipped cream served on the side All 3 crepes were outstanding and the portions are quite filling. The savory crepes are served with fries or salad. Here's a note: your crepe will already come with a small salad so you might as well just order fries, unless you want a bigger portion of salad. Service was noticeably slow with diners looking around for their food or for the employees to bring them the menu. The owner (?) did come around to each table to make sure everything was okay though. When you're done, go up to the cash register and pay. If you're not feeling like eating a crepe, they also serves sandwiches and egg dishes, which looked equally tasty as well. In a heartbeat I would definitely come back again and again! read more

Amazing! Tried the S'mores, D'accord and Creme Brulé crepes...delicious! Also ordered tha Latte à la Rose...wow! Cannot get enough from that!!!! The only thing we struggled eith was to find the place. I did not realize it was in the corner and the outside sign is not so visible read more
Another fantastic place I found on Google maps! While in Montreal I had to get a crepe! Started my first full day off here to get a savory crepe. The surprise was the deeeelish honey cinnamon latte (see pic). The D'Accord crepe was a generous size giving me plenty of fuel to start my adventure in Old Town. The menu has something for everyone and the prices are great for the portion sizes. Hopefully I'll be back for breakfast again! read more
Took my best friend here when she came to visit me from Toronto. The service was incredibly slow. It took a good 10 minutes before anyone even acknowledge us and another solid 40 minutes before our food arrived. Nobody even bothered to refill our water. As for the food, I ordered a savory crepe with chicken, spinach and pesto (~$12) while my best friend opted for a sweet crepe with banana, strawberry and nutella ($15). The sweet crepe was way too sweet and not at all comparable to juliette au chocolat or cacao 70. My savory crepe was mediore at best, but again nothing to rave home about. Don't really get the hype and probably will not be returning. read more
Muru Crêpe was really good! During our stay in Old Montreal in February, we were on the hunt for a creperie within walking distance. Their hours online said that they'd open at 9:30am, however, when we arrived around 10am they were just then opening their doors. Thankfully we got there just in time because after we sat the place filled up immediately. The service was so-so, however, when 15 tables are seated at once, it's not going to be easy to take care of everyone in a timely manner. Still, maybe adding an additional server during this busy rush could be helpful. I had the crepes with banana, strawberry, and nutella and my fiancée had the banana, nutella, and vanilla ice cream. I don't eat crepes very often, but they were really thin, beautifully plated, and served with very fresh fruit. Overall, I'm a fan! read more

So goooooooooooooooooooooood !!! Tried Slamon crepe and Strawberry & banana & hazelnut spread (aka Nutella lol) crepe, forgot the name of it however, speechless. Server was very attentive and friendly. Asked for recommendation and of course, scored ! Great place in the middle of tourists-aimed shops. It opens during brunch time so if you want to try, you better be fast lol I gave it 4 stars bc I haven't tried all of their menus but I assume they will be as good as the ones I already had and the limited opening hours too. So cruel to open just 4-5 hours a day !! lol Definately going back! I know, I leave in a different country and 7 hour-drive but it's worth it lol read more
