Review from Sasha L.

we were strolling down the shopping area of montreal on rue st catherine on an early morning in the summer when we stopped in for some authentic french crepes! we ordered two and had left over as they are pretty large. i prefer my crepes on the crispier side but it was good nonetheless! i would definitely come back when i'm in montreal again!

A little crape place in the heart of Montreal. Atmosphere and decor is not the greatest. Heck even their cutlery are horrible; Styrofoam cups and plates. Crowed seating and not the cleanest place. However it has a decent view of the street and the food is good. You definitely get more bang for your buck, but I have tasted better crepe. A good place to get out of the cold and sit for a cheap quick snack.

I think this place must have gone down hill since the other reviews were written or the chef quit or something because this place was not good at all. Nothing really stood out as absolutely horrible, but there was just nothing good about it. Plus the prices were outrageous for what it was.
We got escargot for an appetizer and were very disappointed by the quality and quantity of the dish.
My wife got a beef filet and received a very overdone chunk of meat with some fries. When she asked for ketchup the waitress practically rolled her eyes.
I got boeuf bourguignon and it was just not good at all. I'm not very picky when it comes to boeuf bourguignon either. The meat was dry (difficult to accomplish in a stew) and the wine in the sauce tasted like it hadn't been properly reduced.
Our waitress was also not exactly a charmer. Her attitude was the only thing authentically French about the place aside from the price tag.
Go elsewhere, there are plenty of other French cafes in Montreal. -

The crepes are warm but the filling isn't, which is fine if you get strawberries and Nutella, like my friend did, but not so great if you get apple and cheese like I did. The cheese was warmish but not melted, the apples were mushy, cold, and lacking in flavor, I asked for no cranberries but got them anyway, and there was powdered sugar on savory cheese, which would have been bad had I been able to taste it.

after reading the reviews of higher rated critics,
maybe the sweet crepes are the winners here.
i wouldn't know though.
normally at a creperia i would order one savory and then one sweet for dessert but i was so disappointed in the ham n cheese crepe i couldn't even finish it.
the cheese tasted like Velveeta cheese (for those unfamiliar with Velveeta, it's the most processed and non-cheese tasting cheese of all American cheeses ever made). completely unappealing "cheese" product.
I ordered a side of creme fraiche and what i was given was (to the best i could tell) a cross between vinaigrette dressing and thousand island. after sending it back and rerequesting the "white sauce for crepes, creme fraiche", i was given a processed version of ranch dressing.
:(
Sorely disappointed!
and it's not cheap either.
for my crepe and an OJ, it ran me $18
-side note, no wi-fi either, so i don't know why you'd want to even bring your laptop in to do some work with a coffee either. -

Love their crepes and no nonsense sandwiches.
Espresso drinks are great too. Great place to bring a laptop,
enjoy brunch / late night cake and watch beautiful people passing by on St Catherine. -

What does $20 by you these days: a cold sandwich (it was grilled, yet still cold), a decent crepe and a bottle of soft drink.

Jonesing for an Americano and some sort of sweet breakfast pastry, I headed into Cafe Paris, and was immediately on cloud 9 thanks for their vast crepe selection. I was subsequently elated to pick the Nutella and Banana crepe - if you have lived in Europe you know that Nutella is health food anyway....
I ordered up and within a few minutes I was merrily sitting with my Americano (which was just okay), and a little taste of heaven in crepe form. My friend had the coconut and sugar crepe which was also fantastic. This place ranks very high on my breakfast list! -

All I have to say is that my breakfast croissant (which was served with egg, ham, spinach and cheese) was okay.
The fellow at the next table was happy to learn that they have free internet access. Maybe I'd be a bigger fan if I had brough my computer along. -

Yummy Crepe's! I got a banana and nutella. Delicious. My friend got a crepe with ham, egg, and cheese. Both were yummy. Will cost you around $8 USA but worth it.
The line was a bit long and there method was a not effiecient but they wraped it very well where nothing spilled or got wasted. -

We ambled over to this cute little joint to pick up dessert after having dinner at Sushi Nagoya (see review). Staff was friendly and courteous and our order was ready within minutes, perfectly packaged.
I am a big fan of the nutella/banana combo and Cafe Paris does it just right: not skimpy on the nutella, but not so much that it kills the bananas. The crepes here are also excellent: good texture, slightly sweet, and hot off the griddle.
All in all - an excellent place to stop for a sweet bite. -

i came here to grab a crepe since there was a line out the door.. it looked promising.. although my roast beef and mushroom crepe was good.. it wasn't 12 dollars good.. it definitely could have used more beef and shrooms..

I've only ever had dessert crepes here but they were divine. Nutella, strawberries and ice cream for me please. mmmm. Their cappuccino was also quite tasty.

Terrible terrible crepes. It's like they've never had good crepes. I got a banana nutella crepe and it came out rubbery, cold, and not enough nutella. Not only did I wait 15 minutes to order even though they saw me and I was the only customer but the it was super expensive. Stay away. It's a total tourist trap.

Pretty nice little place, nice view from upstairs. The populaire croissant with cheese and game and spinach is ok. Baileys crepe is really good!!
