This was my first trip to Quebec city in many years, so I asked a friend to recommend a pâtisserie…read moreshe loved. Le Croquembouche had what I was looking for. The eclairs and Paris-Brest are so delicious. The crisp choux and creamy fillings were just perfect. The quiche was rich but not heavy. I was mostly there for sweet treats to bring home, so I can't speak to the Vienniosserie or breads, but everything I got was delicious and so, so pretty!

As an American living in Quebec City, I haven't found any good cupcake/cake shops comparable to…read moreSprinkles, Crumbs, Sweet Lady Jane etc. Mlle Cupcakes is ok. I found the frosting to be sickly sweet (and I love frosting!) while the cupcakes are quite dry. I was disappointed they don't have chocolate everyday! The first time I visited, i left without buying anything. I understand it a boutique bakery, but some of the flavors didn't appeal to me. The cupcakes are very pretty but don't taste great. I will pay $4 a cupcake in LA but definitely not in QC. Overall I would give it 2.5 stars but I am sure locals would rate it higher as it might be more to their taste. I know a good private bakery which caters to American tastes if you want to try, let me know.

I am more than happy to write the first review of this patisserie...I'm honored. We noticed it on…read morethe way into town, but didn't make special note of it from the outside since it was a basic storefront and there are so many patisseries around. As we walked down Rue St. Jean the next day, we were looking for some lunch. After checking out a few places, we walked by Simon Patisserie and decided to check it out. It really is a throwback...and feels like a old bakery I used to walk in with my grandfather 40 years ago as a little kid in Philadelphia. So, it immediately evoked wonderful memories. That said, the goods still have to stand up to the test...and they did. This place was not only a patisserie, but had varied hot items for lunch that they make on-site. We had beef stroganoff, potato/onion pastry puff, chicken & Mac, eclair, pastry with cream and raspberry filling, almond filled pastry, pasta and veggies. ALL of them were a 5! In fact, to demonstrate how good they were...on our way out of town the next day we stopped here to get some baked goods to bring back for family...two days later. We kept them "on ice" and out of the heat for two days, even bringing them with us out of the car so they wouldn't spoil. Of course, they would never be as good as freshly made, but they made it back to the delight of everyone! If you go, say hello to Joanne and Joanne (yes, two of them named that) and say hello for us. :-)

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!
