Patrice Pâtissier

Perfect for a wonderful breakfast snack! We ordered quite a few pastries and all of them were delicious! The coffee chocolate mousse was pretty rich but other pastries like the choux à la crème were super light and pleasant. The ambiance and service was great. It gets really busy in the morning but it’s worth the wait! Looking forward to trying more of the pastries!

The best pastry store in Montreal. Always fresh. A wide choice of pastries like eclair, Chou, lemon tart, etc. They offer also dessert à la carte which they change seasonly. They have one dessert which is the best of the best made with cafe, chocolate and pistachio (in the photos) offered usually in December but last year they didn’t put it in the menu, I hope this year they will put it. They have also viennoiseries, I live their financier especially the vegan one. In summer they have frozen pops, I love the one with pistachio. Their grilled cheese sandwich is delicious. Service is convenient and fast. I would put the improvement point in the Christmas Yule log which are very repetitive every year it is the same selection, it is good to change them this year. Other than that it is a gorgeous place. Would definitely recommend it.

The pastries are very small and pricey, but the ingredient's high quality and taste make up for it. I was amazed with their squash cake, it was extremely moist and had nice spices in it. The maple financier also was delicious, you could really taste the pure maple in it. I highly recommend taking their citrus tart if you like key lime. Also, very courteous staff.

This place is by far one of the most unique places I have ever been to. The pastries and desserts are out-of-this-world! The combinations of the different flavors and textures are a curious delight~ Wpuld definitely recommend this place if you're planning a trip to Montreal!!

It‘s a nice place to have brunch. I went here on one Saturday. The dishes of this restaurant are very special. The bacon, egg and the mushroom one is very tasty. And this was my first time to try the flower salad. I heard that its chocolate desserts are very good, will come and try next time.

This is an incredible pastry shop with two exceptional owners who care deeply about their products and people. We have been coming here since 2015 and it is undoubtedly our favourite dessert shop in all of Canada. The products are freshly-made with exceptional local ingredients. The menu changes seasonally, so you can visit often and discover new items and flavours. We love the kouign amanns, anything with cereals and grains, and anything with local ingredients that the chef will spotlight. We are extremely sad to hear about their closure at the end of summer 2022, but you must visit before then if you can. This patisserie will be a reference point and standard of excellence for pastry shops in Canada forever.

If you ever have the chance to sit down, do order the Vert - a strange combination of granité, apples, herbs and white chocolate - but one whose flavours blend together and compliment each other wonderfully. The flavours of éclaires change every season, a must try every single time.

Amazing spot! I discovered this place while driving past, and loved what I tried! The chocolate chip cookies have (for me) the wrong balance of chocolate (too much) but the scones were absolute perfection in sweetness and texture! I can’t wait to come back to try more things! It seems like ordering online in advance is the best way to go to ensure selection as I can guess it’s all made fresh!

You can tell this is a quality bakery from the first bite you take of the Kouign Amann. Definitely a must try. I was in town for 2 weeks & managed to come here twice The lemon tart is another delicious option that I recommend if you like citrusy desserts

I discovered this charming place through a friend who suggested it for brunch. At first, I thought their specialty were pastries but I was pleasantly surprised with my order of egg and tomato casserole (comes with sausage meatballs). It reminded me of a Shakshuka with an elegant French twist. Taste was on par with presentation so both my eyes and tastebuds were very satisfied. I also had the opportunity to share their Kouign Amann which was quite rich and tasteful. Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside filled with hazelnut spread and coffee. Great service and would definitely pass by to indulge on their pastries. PS: My only suggestion would be to improve their lattes. Unfortunately, it wasn't on par with the meal.

Ordered the new cake flavor "pecan, coffee and dulcey" and went to pick it up. Service was quick and only 2 clients at a time inside store due to covid. Very tasty with a crunchy layer and orangey flavor chocolate. Complex flavors of nut and coffee as well!

I've heard great things about Patrice Pâtissier so decided to check them out one afternoon but didn't realize they close Monday and Tuesday. Came back the following day and they were well stocked with a pantry full of goodies. Interesting that their bread is from Hof Kelsten. Tons of pastries and drinks (tea, coffee, juices) to choose from. I forgot to try the "vert" which was recommended by a food friend. Next time! - Kouign amann apricot ($3.75) - a bit of a twist on the original (they do have both types) but excellent in its own way. - Blueberry scone ($3.25) - buttery, moist and delicate. My aunt wanted something less sweet and this fit the bill. The pastries are fantastic here and worth the splurge. Definitely need to come back to try more things.

There are so few Pâtissiers that equal what Patrice creates. Words fail me to describe the perfection that was the chocolate caramel cake I picked up for my big birthday last week. Every bite brought smiles and ooohs and awwws. As good as the pictures look, the taste was off the chart! The breakfast takeaway box of kouign amman, banana bread/muffins and blueberry scones just more proof of how excellent the food is and how lucky and spoiled Montrealers are to have Patrice in Little Burgundy.

I always wanted to try this bakery; finally I stepped in to try something. It has very modern decor inside. The pastries at the cash counter made me feel that I am at Tate museum in London. The decor and design of the pastries were ridiculously funky. I was having hard time to choose something. Finally, I sat on almond tart with tarragon. Weird? Right? The first bite of that tart made me say... eww... but at the second bite, I said it wasn't that bad. At the third bite and the rest of bites... I said it was good. Drink, a juice of clementine, orange and strawberry... that was good! The service was good! Overall, I am not that impressed with this restaurant ... I don't see any thing that makes this bakery unique.

I love the smell of bakeries and pastry spots. It never gets old to me! We first swung by Patrice Patissier near their closing time and a lot of their items were sold out. We got a tomato brioche which was very tasty and tasted like a mini pizza, but we knew we had to come back! Next time, we tried their Kouign Amann with apples. I wish I got two. This small pastry was perfectly flaky and buttery with every single bite. The apples were wonderfully seasoned and paired really well with this pastry. But honestly, what pastry isn't good with apples? This was definitely a favourite for us as we basically went on a pastry tour around Montreal. We also got their lemon tart, which was equally as good. The lemon filling was nice and creaming, but tart enough that you're not just only tasting cream. The crust was such a nice surprise as they had a bit of ginger at the bottom of the tart which added a really nice flavour overall.

By far one of my favorite dessert places in Montreal. If it's your first time here, you have to try Le Vert. It's this white chocolate yogurt apple concoction and it's the most delicious item on the menu! I often also get the dessert of the moment, but I rarely like it more than Le Vert. They recently also started offering a new take on the kouign amann and i have to admit that I like it a lot more than the original because of the chocolate filling. Service is always impeccable and if you're lucky, you'll catch Patrice Demers in the kitchen too!

we ordered the chocolate and caramel mousse cake, it's pretty good, not overly sweet and the mousse is very smooth with a crunch base the cream puff is amazing, loved the banana and coffee filling really liked their kouign amann with pear the blueberry scone was so so

I definitely enjoyed their savoury breakfast dishes (e.g., their egg mushroom dish) but their pastries are somewhat hit-or-miss (e.g., their kouign amann disappointed quite a bit). Their deserts look great but I haven't tried them. Coffee is fine - but I'm no connoisseur. The place is very clean and I like the layout. I'm particularly fond of the fact that you can look into the kitchen through a large window. Prices are slightly high for what you get - but within the realm of the reasonable. I'm torn between 3 and 4 stars - but I tip ever so slightly to 3.

Definitely my favorite dessert spot in Montreal! Desserts are always unique and well presented. The customer service is remarkable and consistent. The shop itself is luminous, clean, and cozy. Patrice masters his craft, and that is why anyone who lives desserts and lives in or visits Montreal should stop by his shop.

Cheers to the talents of Patrice Pâtissier... I haven't written a yelp review in ages, since I worked for them really but I felt I needed to hop on and share the proverbial love. I've only had one visit but it was lengthy and certainly will not be my last. Excellent service paired with incredible culinary talents in a relaxed, CLEAN environment. These pastries and the bread, oh my gosh the desserts... Pick Patrice and it will be an absolute treat for your eyes and tastebuds.

Pros: Clean, modern and airy design Friendly and helpful bilingual staff The tomato tart was recommended by the diner sitting near us. It is a delicious winner...OMG...toasted slices of artisanal bread topped with homemade ricotta, heirloom tomatoes and toasted spices. I wrote down the ingredients so that we can attempt to duplicate it at home - it was that delicious! The cucumber avocado chilled soup was creamy and flavorful. My husband raved about the fresh lemonade Cons: Linen napkins would be better than the paper napkins provided *** Someone at the nearby Grand Central antique shop recommended this place for coffee or light lunch. We are SO grateful that he did!

Everything is so delicious in Patrice! If you buy 6 or more, tax is free! My favorites are the lemon tart, financier, and kouign amann! But honestly there are no wrong choices here! The pastries are so delicious because they are wonderfully rich, and often a slightly different take on flavor so that there's a bit of surprise in each!

Time to leave Montreal. Not only our final meal with our family (sob!) here but also the final assault on my waistline. No street appeal (so don't overlook it) but once inside the senses are assailed. The food exceeded all expectations. Baked eggs, sausage and tomato...beautiful. Tomato tartine fresh and tasty. And the vol au vent looked amazing. Not a 'sweet' person I resisted desserts until the waiter said the magic words: raspberries, and caramel. This was served in a profiterole with raspberry ice cream inside, raspberry cream outside and warm caramel poured over!!! Excellent coffee! Ok, I'm done!! Staff were great - friendly and efficient. The message is: do try this place. The tip is raspberry profiterole!!

Well hellloooooo there, dessert heaven. Why do you always make me want to spend all my money there. Their strawberry coconut eclair is the bomb!!! Can anything be this perfect? So pretty, but i had to destroy it to eat it. Sigh... That lemonade...tasted like...shoes.... But let's not talk about that. Let's go back to the desserts. Also tried their brownie, cookie, sablé. So damn good. YOU HAVE TO TRY THIS PLACE.

I've never had a better Kouign Amann than the version here. It had all the basics done perfectly: buttery, precisely flaky, and crunchy. But, what separated it from all mortal versions of the pastry was the interior: I felt as if I were eating candy floss (brioche, I know) without the extra sweetness one associates with that treat. Textbook perfect... and, more! Patrice Patissier is located somewhat far from the popular tourist spots in Montreal, but should be destination dining for anyone who has a sweet tooth - in my case 30 of them ;) They serve lunch during weekdays and brunch on the weekend as well, but the reason to visit should be to try the meticulously crafted pastries from the (former) star pastry chef of the restaurant 400 blows (Les 400 Coups, coincidentally one of my favorite movies of all time), Patrice Demers. The decor of the restaurant/Patisserie stands out from the predominant design and colors for cupcake/dessert shops with its modern almost Scandinavian look accenting polished wood furniture. It's clear from the pastry selection that he's got a keen sense of textural combinations and interplay of flavors. More than that, he has the vision to reinterpret traditional desserts with modern flair. One such example is the Foret Noire (Black Forest Cake). It's presented as a thin rectangle with a very fudge like base, is layered with cherry gelée and topped with whipped cream and cherry slices. Glorious. Elevating both fudge and Black Forest cake. And, uncommon for Black Forest Cake, extremely light. Obviously, I wasn't just going to eat one dessert. And, with a dessert so airy, that didn't need to be the case. Next, I tried the Pot Citron, which was perfectly, not excessively, tart paired with some fresh cream and texturally enhanced by the accompanying crumble. Obviously, I'd intended to take the Kouign Amann to go, but given how light the two desserts had been easily finished it off inside the Patisserie. The experienced and knowledgeable server chuckled when I went back for advice on my to-go item. She pointed to the sablé cookie, another inspired guidance. The sablé cookie features thick and creamy chocolate ganache sandwiched between crisp and sandy cookies, and reflects pure chocolate magic. Yet another exceptionally executed and lbaked good. So, go ahead and indulge: you can likely burn the calories in a long walk to the Notre-Dame Basilica. If not, be sure that you couldn't do better in terms of the critical quality/calorie ratio.

You're probably not going to this beautiful little bakery unless you have a sizable, disposable income (or, okay, you like to occasionally treat yourself) as it's one of the most expensive places I've shopped at all year in Montreal. That said, the beautiful decor, is second only to the amazing quality of their offerings. I tried not the lemon tart and their bread, and while the breas was fantastic the lemon tart was honestly the very best baked offering I have ever eaten (and coming from the UK, lord knows I've eaten a lot of them...) Is it the kind of place I can afford to shop at weekly? Probably not without sacrificing somewhere else, but the quality of that tart is going keep me coming back at least once a month.

Let me start off by saying I'm not into sweets. I came by here to pick up dessert for a family gathering. I have no idea what kind of dessert I purchased but it was light, not overly sweet, and extremely delicate. The presentation was beautiful. I also asked about their specialties and was recommended the kouign amann... that was really good and I tried the two types they had. One plain and the other with poppy seeds and a fruit marmalade inside. I highly recommend ordering a few days in advance if you know what you want. However, even though I was in a last minute situation, I was still quite pleased!

I think Patrice Demers is the best pastry chef in Montreal. His pastries are elegant, combine unique flavours and involve a lot of technique. All of his pastries are excellent but my personal favourites are the Kouign amaann, the cannelé and his different cakes covered in piped chantilly icing. His Kouign amann's are easily the best in Montreal. The originals are delicious but we just tried the apple stuffed ones made with wheat flour and I actually preferred them. We also ordered his seasonal apple and pear tart with pecan cream, apple purée, cream cheese mousse, poached pear and spiced jelly. It was absolutely fantastic, a must try!

TLDR: Delightful sweets and great drinks at a sophisticated patisserie. I ordered the chai latte, which was light and warmed me right up. The same can be said for the cafe au lait. I ordered the almond brioche which was out of this world. At first, we thought it was simply well-toasted brioche with broiled marzipan as we bit into the corners. But once we got into the center there was this amazing almond deliciousness. The servers were very friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend if you need a sweet fix. They also give classes which look quite enjoyable.

Oooh boy avoid at all costs if on some no-carb/no-fun-food-allowed diet plan. The smell of butter alone wafting around is probably enough to fulfill your caloric max for the day! Seriously though, this patisserie is such a delight. It's sophisticated in both atmosphere and offerings and is a terrific indulgence. Their baked goods are very very rich and they have a hardcore espresso machine. This is a great place for a casual date that you'd still like to impress or somewhere to pick up some thoughtful and delicious gifts for a host (they come in the coolest packaging). You're also guaranteed great service by very knowledgable staff -a win all around! A delicious looking brunch is also available on Sundays but I have yet to partake so I can't comment on it. That said, if their baked goods are any indication, it's probably awesome.

This place is clean and cozy. They have a big window of their kitchen so that you can see it's very clean. We ordered lemon tart and eclair which has apple inside. Both are delicious. We also have the cappuccino which is not the type I like. I will try other desserts in the future.

Love love the open kitchen design and lurking past the window to see the busy bees making delicious pastries! The lime tart was dreamy: tart, sweet, buttery and crunchy at the same time. That was definitely my favourite! The St Henri pastry was well executed but I thought the strong flavours of chocolate and coffee were clashing a bit. The kouign amann was too dry and depressing (said my other half) not up to the standard of the kougna man made by the kouigna amann bakery on mont royal avenue. Very nice quality herbal tea. Modern and cosy atmosphere. I would come back but it would be nice to have a wider choice of patisseries. That's all you need to know.

Some of the best pastries in Montreal. They obviously subscribe to the philosophy that there is no such thing as too much butter, an idea that I support wholeheartedly. My personal favourites are their scones, banana bread and kouign amann, but honestly you can't go wrong here. They tend to focus on fancier things, so you won't find the basics like croissants or bread here (they did have some bread available but I think it was from hof kelsten rather than being made in house). They also have a lunch and brunch menu that I haven't had a chance to try. Coffee is very good.

I have been to Patrick a few times already but I never stay there to eat, I always take some patisserie to go. I really like the fact that his patisserie change with the season and what is available. Sometime the flavours are weird (mushrooms, etc.) but most of the times it's really tasty. My favorite is the Citrus curd/posset-filled tartelette topped with a quenelle of vanilla chantilly, it's to die for. Maybe next time I will try their brunch menu.

Absolutely decadent pastries! Each one is like a work of art! The custard is delicious and the cookie/biscuit is top notch! The staff is really sweet and is an open, clean space to indulge yourself in a cool pet of town

Simply adorable! Finally this neighbourhood has a high quality pastry shop. One would never guess from outside what a relief and sweet happiness is waiting for you in the bakery. First sign of freshness is the decor and space utilization, modern and simple. The bar counter overlooking the kitchen is a great place to sit and watch through the window what is happening inside. The second sign of freshness are the amazing flavours of just baked pastries. The Kouign Amannn is absolutely my preferred version of the famous Breton pastry, lighter, flaky and crispy on top. I also liked very much the chocolate and coffee St Henri cake, not too sweet, smooth and balanced dessert. Sometime you can discover small surprises as the chestnut pastry I had last week. It is true the selection is not huge, but everything I have savoured was perfect and delicious. I'm not a big fan of their espresso, but the coffee with milk is good alternative and they have nice selection of tea. Patrice Patissier is definitely a place for regular visits and little sweet treats.

Don't you just love walking into a bakery and being greeted by mind blowingly good aromas? Don't you love it even more when those smells translate into delicious baked goods. That basically sums up a visit to Patrice Patissier. There are so many yummy treats on display that narrowing down your choices is no easy task. Ultimately though I went with the kouign amann which had a sweet, crispy exterior and an airy, buttery interior. The bakery is huge and even includes an area for cooking classes (which are already full for the spring sigh). There's ample seating and it's definitely worth while staying to enjoy your goodies here. I will definitely be returning here when I'm in the Atwater Market area.

I visited this place multiple times when I was in Montreal. We were recommended to this place by a chef at Provisions. Apparently, at the end of the day they take their leftover and donate or give it to the less fortunate people. My favorite at this place was their Kouign-amann. It tasted AMAZING (maybe cuz we went right when they opened, but I was very happy with it). We tried variety of stuff there, names that I can't remember cuz it was all in French lol. They have tables there that you can sit down and eat at, but we just ordered it to go. Also, they do brunch on the weekends, which I may try next time i'm in Montreal.

I had their grilled cheese and espresso, both of which were disappointing (especially compared to what Patrice get me used with his pastry menu). They used some sort of brioche bread without that isn't buttered whatsoever, resulting in a dry and flat sandwich. Considering they charge $10 for that and that Patrice supposedly worked at the "400 coups", I can't safely recommend going there for lunch or brunch as there are other options both cheaper and tastier around.

Yah, I see the logic behind all these 5 stars and I can't help but agree. I met the kind and elegant Candice here for a Yelp friend hang, and I think we both relaxed immediately from busy bustling days as we eased into this bright tasteful room. The kouin amman was dreamy, the little maple loaf was buttery with a crispy crust, and the cheesecake mouse was so light and magical - it had a layer of apple or something jellied in the middle that brought a weird and unnecessary texture to the treat but honestly I can't complain about it, it was delicious and I would eat it any time regardless of weird apply jellied thingers in the middle. Also of note: a back room with big shared tables where I think the magic happens but also there are books and it seemed open for groups? And also also, an elegant bar with a small but lovely looking collection of wines and some spirits too I thought? Drinks and dessert is a lovely idea, don't mind if a I do.

Location: I guess it's considered Little Burgundy. The closest subway is Lionel-Groulx (orange line) and street parking is available. The place: Spacious and clean with a simple, elegant decor. I really liked the layout - there's ample space between tables and you don't feel like you're being forced to have dessert with strangers. The goods: Truth be told, the selection was somewhat limited for a Saturday. I went for the chocolate + café St. Henri cake, which was a cross between cake and mousse. I quite enjoyed this dessert - the mousse was super smooth and silky with the perfect amount of chocolatey flavor. The bottom of the cake was crunchy. What I appreciated most was that it wasn't sickeningly sweet and the portion was perfect - therefore, no difficulty finishing it! I also tried the home-made Chai latté and it was AMAZING. I think it was the best Chai latté that I've had in Montreal. Service: Good. Price point: For dessert and latté, I think it cost me about $10. While I did enjoy Patrice, I still have a preference for Christian Faure. C-F has a much wider selection of pastries to choose from, and visually, no one in town beats the beauty of his 'designs.' Also, in terms of vibe, it just feels more like a pastry shop that one pops into for a luxurious dessert and coffee.

Eclair au chocolat et banane is one of my FAVORITEs. Blueberry scone is also a must-try item if you look for something to take away on the road. Should try all the desserts and pastries from the display. Everything made from Chef Patrice is heavenly delicious! Note that at lunch time Wed through Fri, they serve lunch menus with a couple of specialties of desserts.

Patrice is honestly the cream of the crop. I don't think there's any pastries out there that can compare which is a lot coming from such a culinary diverse city ! The day I discovered Patrice I went back 3 times that week ! His desserts are quite straight forward but the quality of ingredients and technique that he uses make his dessert quite sophisticated ! I'd want my wedding cake and all of my friends wedding cake from this place ! It sucks that this place doesn't open later !

Patrice Patissier is exactly what I've always wanted from a pastry shop. Treading the fine line between rustic and modern, mostly wood with big windows and beautiful touches everywhere, it's as calming an environment as any spa - we're just missing the sound of a gentle waterfall. All this before I even got my coffee, which was just perfect, with a good hit of acidity but no trace of bitterness, and didn't need a drop of sugar. My sweet tooth got its fix from a crunchy/soft kouign-amann, which rivals the one from the Mont Royal bakery that specializes in this pastry. My husband had a Croque Monsieur oozing with Gruyere and the most delicious ham on Hof Kelsten bread... Seriously... Patrice knows what's up. They even have a bright, warm, open kitchen space just past the dining room where they give pastry lessons, and if you're going to take lessons from anyone, you'd be hard pressed to find people who know pastry better than these guys. Just... Wow. Oh, and not that it matters much, because with this much goodness I would literally have paid almost anything... But the prices are totally reasonable.

Looking for good pastries then this is the spot. Their bread and pastries are amazing. We came on a rainy day for brunch so there was no wait. Once you walk in you can smell deliciousness. Service, taste and presentation were impressive. Definitely recommend this. Must try their Kouign Amann.

Very modern and upscale looking dessert house with amazing pastries. We got three desserts to share and two of them made me scream OMG inside. The attention to detail, combination of flavours and the right amount of sweetness definitely make me want to come back for more.

It was incredible! I search and search for well prepared desserts and can't find anything close to this place in Toronto. There are attempts but not even close. Both the savoury and sweet were well executed with subtle flavours that work well together The place also had clean modern lines and the staff were very helpful

OMG le chou a la creme was amazing!! Caramel, chocolate and banana cream enclosed by a crispy pastry. Not too sweet, just right. It was a taste of happiness and I am not exaggerating this fact. The kouign amann was also very tasty, I liked the crispy and sugary skin. (Just found out that they raised price of chou a la creme from $4 to $5 from last year, but it's alright, have to treat yourself once in a while).

Omg, if I could eat everything they make here in 1 shot I would! I had the citrus tart with a hot chocolate, husband had the chocolate banana kouign Aman with a cappuccino and we both devoured our treats. The hot chocolate was actually made from chocolate and not the powdered sugary stuff so it was rich but not too sweet. Loved that you could watch the kitchen staff whipping up some treats. Prices were very reasonable for the quality of food you get. Also took some goodies home to sample, the blueberry scone, an eclair and the caramel Chou de Creme and they were all amazing. Give them a try, you won't regret it!

Love at first sight! A warm butter smell is floating in the air upon entering the shop. Although we were the only customers in the shop(it was Sunday afternoon), the pastry didn't taste like it's been sitting there all day, they were yummy. My favourite was the almond toast and Kouign Amann, you can definitely taste the good ingredients and craftsmanship. The only thing we didn't like was the Chou a la creme, somehow tasted dry...

Patrice Pâtissier Montreal is located just steps away from Joe Beef and Liverpool House in Little Burgundy. It is a quick subway ride to Station Lionel-Groulx. If you are in the area, do also check out Marche Atwater market. It is a lot like Marches Jean Talon Public Market. The shop is opened by Pastry Chef Patrice Demers and his fiancée and sommelière Marie-Josée Beaudouin. Patrice Pâtissier offers a variety of delicious eclairs, sables, coffee and will also be serving some savoury treats. Patrice Pâtissier is a simple modern bakery and coffee shop with high quality pastries. There's a great bar counter to people watch and a workshop in the back. Prices ranges $3 to $6 per piece. Their Americano espresso is strong and earthy. Choux a la Creme 5.50: A perfection of caramel, chocolate and banana cream crispy pastry. I liked that is was not too sweet. If you are a fan of banana cream, you must stop by Roselle in Toronto King Street East. Their Banana Cream Eclair is filled with a caramelized banana and vanilla bean cream. Eclair 5.50: These eclair donuts with apricots are light and with a soft crispy crunch.

I often go to Patrice Demers' bakery to buy cakes for special occasions. For people wondering why the prices are more expensive than at Première Moisson or other commercial bakeries is because the pastries are made fresh with quality ingredients and are not frozen. However, their lunch menu is quite good as well. We had the beef tartare and the brioche. Both were well balanced and flavourful. Their dessert à l'assiette changes depending on the season. I always come back for the granité au lychee as it is complex and refreshing.

As a self proclaimed pastry connoisseur after living in Paris, I am EXTREMELY picky and critical of pastries. My pastry hunts in Toronto have disappointed me time and time again with the exception of Roselle. But I found a little bit of Paris in Montreal, here at Patrice! I am a newly converted lemon tart lover so of course I tried the lemon tart with almond and tarragon. Helloooo Paris! The tart was the perfect texture where it doesn't crumble instantly but also isn't too hard. The lemon curd struck the perfect balance of sweet versus sour and every flavour and texture came together SO well. I regret not trying other things from here because honestly they all looked fantastic, but this will give me something to look forward to for the next time

Perfectly buttery and crumbly! One minor imperfection! Celebrity chef and owner Patrice Demers surely knows how to master pastries! Upon walking into his store on Notre Dame St, walking distance from Atwater Market, you will be pleasantly welcome with the delicious smell of butter, sugar, and a creative group of chefs. His cafe also offers a delicious but small menu for lunch/brunch. Do keep in mind that the store is closed every Monday and Tuesday. Most often than not in many other stores the pastries are bright in colour, beautifully decorated, but lack quality and flavour. Rest assure that although the pastries at Patrice are a bit pricier than the average store, you will not regret a single extra penny or calorie. Trust me on this! His staff is always extremely polite, kind and very knowledgeable. Which is a great since you might not even know where to begin or what to buy. If I could, I would buy the entire store but you and I know that wouldn't be a smart choice for my tummy and wallet. You might be asking yourself, with such positive words why did I only give it four stars? For only one reason. The store always is VERY warm and feels a tad stuffy. Which is not at all an issue if you go in quickly for take-out. However! The few times during the Winter and Summer months the store always felt incredibly hot inside. They do have central AC. It still feels quite warm and uncomfortable. I've looked for windows to open, sadly the windows are not made to be open. Overall I love the pastries! Also if you are at all familiar with good quality European baking chocolate. Patrice uses Valrhona in all of his pastries and hot cocoa as well. Which is a big plus for me! I will definitely be returning again and again. I just wish the ambiance would feel less stuffy.

Esquisite pastries. Cozy ambiance. They seemed to offer pastry classes as well :-)

4.5 stars Dishes ordered: Strawberry Cheesecake, Rhubarb Tart, Kouign Amann Amazing: Strawberry Cheesecake: Clean and not overly sweet. Chamomile flowers on top add a great floral tone that accentuates the entire dessert. Standard: Rhubarb Tart: Good balance between tarty, sweet, and slightly bitter. Wish the lemon tart was available. Kouign Amann: Pretty standard. Bad: None.

Anyone who knows me knows that I love sweets. And frankly, when it comes to sweets right now in Montreal, there is no better area than the Sud-Ouest. Already home to Leche Desserts and Rustique (my favorite doughnut and pie shops), it is only perfect that Patrice Demers, formally of Les 400 Coups in the old port, decided to set up his new venture, Patrice Patissier, in the area as well. His boutique opened up about 3 weeks ago now and I went on the opening weekend to see what he had in store. Having taking over the old video rental store on Notre-Dame Ouest just down the block from the Joe Beef empire, the space is divided into a takeout bakery, a wine bar/seating space and a back room for eventual cooking classes. The kitchen is visible to all when you walk in, allowing us to see what comes on behind the scenes. The space is modern, clean and relaxed - touches of wood and nice lighting makes the room inviting to sit and grab a quick tea (or coffee for those of you are inclined to such a beverage). Now, for this first visit, I stuck to the bakery because that was my main interest and also because it was the only part of the boutique open at that point. Patrice Patissier offers quite an assortment of items - pastries, cakes, "petit pots" and cream puffs. I had a dinner in the evening and was responsible for the dessert portion of our meal - I figured a nice variety of everything they had at that moment would be appropriate. Ironically enough, at the time I arrived that early afternoon, there wasn't all that much left as clearly their opening weekend was going better than they had planned. Great for them, not so much for us as patrons but hey, it just means I would need to come back to try what I missed out on. On the pastry front, I got their Kouign Amann and a maple Financier. Now I had never heard of a Kouign Amann before this - it is a Breton cake, kind of a sweetened puff pastry. Sweet and flaky, this was a nice new discovery. The maple financier was great as well - a moist banana bread or sponge cake-like consistency with the added sweetness of maple syrup. The one cake they had left was a chocolate and cafe St-Henri cake. A deliciously chocolatey treat with just a slight hint of coffee which, for me, as a coffee hater, is a good thing. Both varieties of their "petit pots" were available - lemon, camomille, Anicet honey and yogourt, pineapple, muesli. Both are served in actual mini pots to take home. In both cases, great combinations of flavour and texture. The sweet pineapple, the fresh yogourt and the crunch of the granola or the bite of the lemon with the sweetness of honey and the spongy meringues - I really enjoyed these. The presentation as well is a nice creative touch from Patrice and his team. The final dessert was their cream puff which is done to order. The day I was there the cream filling was Bahibe chocolate, caramel and banana. A great combination of bitterness and sweetness in a wonderfully rich cream filling. Top notch dessert and probably the biggest hit amongst my dining group that evening. As a first impression, Patrice Patissier hit some very strong notes. All of the desserts were wonderful - not a single dud in the bunch. Once the wine bar aspect of the space gets really going, I will definitely be checking it out. Now my biggest challenge dessert-wise here is not coming home with a dozen different pastries next time I stop by and believe me, I will definitely be stopping by again and you believe you should do the same. Cheers!
