Montreal is known for having some of the best pastry shops in the country, so it’s no surprise it also boasts some of the best éclairs. The custard-filled choux pastries are the icing on the proverbial pâtisserie.
Fous Desserts has been around for 15 years, so they’re no strangers to critical Montreal taste buds. With a view of the kitchen from the entrance, you know they’re bakin’ up something yummy.
Pâtisserie De La Gare serves up some of the most delicious, delectable and divine chocolate éclairs this side of the St. Laurent. Can you say, a dozen?
Les gourmandises de Marie Antoinette uses only the best French chocolate – 80 per cent dark Valrhona chocolate – to fill and garnish their éclairs. It’s a mouthful of luxury.
De Froment et de Sève serves up some of the best éclairs in town. A glass case filled with delectable pastries is there to tempt you upon arrival, and you’ll want to savour each one of them, but we recommend the traditional éclair au chocolat. Simple perfection.
Maison Christian Faure not only serves up some delicious varieties of éclairs – the traditional, the chocolat noisette, the vanilla strawberry – but they’ll even teach you how to make ‘em. The on-site pastry school offers lessons for all ages and levels. What better way to spend a few wintry nights?
