Would you drive through the entire island of Montreal to the south shore for cookies? We did and we…read moredo not regret it at all. The giant, delicious and very filling cookies at @monbiscuitmtl checked all the boxes for us : Not too sweet, not overly packed with stuffing and they kept fresh for a long time without needing to be warmed up (we even left them in the car outside for an hour and they tasted the same). The creative flavours left us wanting more - especially the Peanut Butter & Jelly

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.

I stumbled upon this gem around the corner from my hotel under less-than-ideal circumstances--we…read morewere heading out at the crack of dawn for a 13-hour tour to Quebec City, and my hotel's breakfast (promised at 6 AM) was MIA at 6:20. 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.

Fancier than your traditional ice cream cone, there is something for all sweet-tooths - and at any size! Everything tasted amazing! I had Le Decadent which is basically a milkshake or drink of choice with a cheesecake, brownie and a cookie on top. I must admit - everything tasted as good as it looked. The brownie was super fudgy and moist and my husband devoured the NY style cheesecake. They do a similar one filled with candies - those looking like something out of Wonka's Chocolate Factory!! My MIL, who is a massive chocolate fan, had Le Jet Set which is a chocolate-lovers paradise. Filled with everything Ferrero Rocher and Nutella -related. A must for chocolate fans! The interior is gorgeous with plenty of seating and a nice atmosphere.

I have been to this Juliette et Chocolat several times when traveling back to the US from MTL and…read morehave had a good experience each time. The food is certainly delicious and the chocolate is incredible. I usually get their cafe latte bol size, a buckwheat crepe and some kind of dessert with chocolate. It's always worth the indulgence at this place! This time I had my latte bol and a galette bûcheronne and a fondant au chocolat. Delicious! Service was fairly good throughout the meal but one time we had to ask for water. The only mildly detracting things about this place are that it certainly could be cleaner and it's also really popular with kids. While this is all good if the kids are well behaved occasionally you get a screaming kid or crying baby which can detract from your enjoyment of the food. On this visit, I also purchased some chocolate fondues to take home and the line to buy their retail products was very long and slow. The woman in front of me just got frustrated with the slow service and left. It seems like restaurant orders take priority over retail sales. Folks were just waiting in line a long time to pick up or purchase retail items while all the staff were preparing coffee drinks and running food to tables. They are likely short staffed right now as their were hiring adverts all over the place.

For us, we forgot our cards in the hotel, but we did have photos of our cards, so we showed the photo and provided our photo ID which good thing I had my drivers license with me! You basically come in order at the front, then go to the seating to wait for food. Now, it does kind of take a while to get the food. I'm sure they were low in staff as it was Christmas time and well, you know....COVID. So don't expect a quick meal. We got our crepe and it was quite hearty! And they have a small container of salad which I really appreciated. Kind of wished there was more. You eat with disposable utensils to reduce having to clean or exposure of COVID. There is a water station with plastic cups. We did stop by here another day to pick up some chocolate goodies to bring home. I would imagine the brownies would be amazing but we stuck to the crepes and mochas which was pretty rich. Overall, it was a great way to spend a little time with family, food and drinks were good, just took a bit of time to get it. But the service was friendly which is always a plus.

I never had it before but the lady said i need to try it so we went on the mission. It's down chinatown alley street, you'll definitely walk right by it if you're not fully paying attention. There was a good amount of people out here for a Tuesday, quite a few panhandlers and scooter squads in area that were pretty aggressive but tell them to walk and they usually leave you alone. The candy at first if you put a whole piece at once in your mouth tasted plain at first until the stringy candy starts to meld with the peanut filling that's when the flavor comes out. I liked it, sort of wish the stringy parts had a bit more flavor but since it's like the only place that does it it's only right to pop in. Thanks OG
