The french onion soup and crepes but best of all the hot chocolate! Chocolat au chaud!! This restaurant is like a little cozy, several stories of goodness. A lot of tourists but SO WHAT! The waiter was cordial and told us what tourists usually order so we actually went against all of that.. since we wanted to be different! HAHAHA
Anyways, aside from the soup, we ordered the escargot. Also ordered a few crepes to try. It was all very good.
I am so glad to have checked out this place! -

Excellent breakfast crepes. We all enjoyed this place. A little pricey for breakfast but what can you expect from Old Montreal.
No ambiance. Decent coffee. Worth going to if you are staying in Old Montreal. -

friend and i went visiting from states. it was frigid and we decided on crepes. i almost ordered the quiche because it looked better. wish i did. it was meaty and thats about it.

I am a huge fan for crepes. But I have to say it is disappoint after dinning over there.
We have tried Shrimp crepe, chicken crepe, ham crepe, and dessert crepe. I like crispy crepe but the style of this restaurant is soft with heavy gravy sauce. None of us finished our crepe. Won't be back. -

I was worried that Chez Suzette would be touristy, given its location. Boy was I wrong! I had the La Laurentienne which was absolutely perfect. I had the La Sonia wrapped up to take home because I couldn't pass up dessert :)

Went into Creperie Chez Suzette as I needed an early dinner and surrounding restaurants were not open for dinner yet. I was surprised that it serves savory crepe, in addition to the dessert crepe. As the weather was cold, I elected to order a soup, and a ham-cheese-spinach crepe. Perhaps savory items are not their specialty, and the choice was rather limited. So I shall be on the reserved side and rate it low for the savory crepe. Perhaps the sweet crepes will be better. The service was reasonable.

We had a friend visiting Montreal from the States for the first time, and figured crepes were a must! We happened upon Chez Suzette in the old port late Sunday morning, and were seated right away (there are 3 floors!).
I had the French onion soup au gratin ($8) and escargots ($7). The escargots were delicious and garlic-buttery, served with little white dinner rolls. The onion soup was also very good - lots of cheese, flavourful broth, and soft onions. The bread in the soup was quite soggy, and would have been better if toasted first. Regardless, it was a nice bowl of comfort.
Our friend had the crepe with apples, brie and maple syrup ($14). It was amazing! The crisp apples and gooey cheese were the perfect combination.
My boyfriend has the special delice ($14) - a breakfast crepe with eggs, meat, cheese and mushrooms - and loved it.
The service was good and relatively fast.
Will definately go back! -

1 fondue with swizzle cheese: $19
1 supreme poulet: $15
1 la Sonia: $14
1 1/2 L of rouge wine: $13
Total: $70 with taxes included
....
Ok so I'll make this short for now so I remember I came here, and write more when I get home...
Umm omg how do you say omg in french? I duuno but this place is amazing. Always ask the locals and people around Montreal what their favorite restaurants are....I asked and the lady gave me a list of places, but her favorite was this.
They arent extremely expensive but it is a bit more pricey that the other crepe place down the street by saint Jacques square.
Wine, crepes and fondue = happy -

We went here twice. Once for dessert and once for dinner. The dessert crepe was better than the savory crepe. When we went there for dessert, we had the La Sonia crepe. It had strawberries, bananas, ice cream, whipped cream, and chocolate sauce. Nothing was left on the plate! For dinner, I had a salad with avocado, strawberries, mixed greens, etc. It was a nice, refreshing salad. If you don't love crepes, there are many other options on the menu which I did not have. I would definitely have dessert if I went back again.

A delicious choice for this beautiful strech of shops and restaurants down in Old Montreal. We ate here at about 11am and sat upstairs where we could look down on the cobblestone streets below. I had the crepes with smoked salmon, capers, red onion, lemon, cucumber and cream cheese. They forgot the cream cheese but gave me some on the side which was okay with me. I constructed each bite the same and the cream cheese was helping the bits of red onion, capers and tomato stay on my perfect little bites. My wife made fun of me for this.
My wife had apples, brie and maple syrup inside her crepes and let me tell you, that was outstanding... unbelievable flavor and it had sweet, savory and creamy in every bite. This was real maple syrup as well which definitely has a distict flavor which wouldn't have worked as well if it were corn starch american pancake syrup.
Our only regret was that it was morning still or my wife would have had one of their specialty drinks which was a blackberry icecream shake, booze, cherry juice and fudge. Yeah, sounds too good to be true. -

Had read good reviews about this creperie so decided to stop in for a late night snack/dessert as I was walking through Old Montreal on a recent trip. Ordered the lobster bisque w/cognac which was amazing, and their La Laurentienne crepe (ham, Swiss cheese, asparagus, w/bechamel sauce). Absolutely delicious.
Restaurant itself was nice and cozy with available upstairs seating. Very affordable. Highly recommended. -

Excellent FOS (French onion soup) - generally the FOS is too salty, not here.
The quiche was wonderful - definitely will come back again next year. -

Excellent crepes! Strong, good coffee. Big portions. Great for breakfast. Very accomodating for kids.
Strongly recommend for a simple affordably priced breakfast in old Montreal on a charming street. Try the salmon, cream cheese and caper crepe! -
Review from Mike P.
I visited the Creperie on a trip home from Canada. We decided that while passing through Montreal we would stop and get something to eat there. After browsing a few review It was decided that the Creperie sounded the most appealing.
We sat downstairs and ordered some drinking and soup and a crepe each. The hot cider I ordered was really good. I opted for the Non-alcoholic version since, this was about the time for brunch; even though I'm sure it was 5 o'clock somewhere. Then the soup came out which was out of this world. It cost about 9 dollars but was completely worth it. Finally I had my bacon and avocado crepe, which was all I had hoped it would be, although not being too surprised as how could you really go wrong with both bacon and avocado in something.
The girl who waited on us was very pleasant the whole time. Overall I was very pleased with the choice of lunch. -

Delicious savory and dessert crepes. A great spot in Old Montreal to sit and look out over the old stone road while eating this French delight. I stop here every time I am in town. Probably my favorite crepe joint in North America. The services is great too; friendly and fast.

We got the strawberries and nutella crepe. The crepe was nice and chewy with a thin layer of nutella (not overwhelming to make the crepe too sweet or soggy) with a scoop of ice cream in the middle and sweet strawberries. A very good crepe overall!

The quiche Lorraine was delicious - but it's the service that gets 5 stars! My dad forget his bag at the table and the waitress tracked us down almost three blocks away to give it back!! And it was cold out! MERCI BEAUCOUP MADEMOISELLE!!!!!! :)

Not the best crepes we had in Montreal but you can't beat the location or the view. When the weather is nice it's a great place to sit and people watch.

Looking from the outside, this place is really deceptive. It looks like a small, traditional crêperie, but it only takes one step inside to see how HUGE it is. This is true for most of the places in Old Montreal anyway; I'd say this is a pretty touristy place.
One thing must be said: everything looks incredibly good -- and smells so good! It's sort of a letdown that it's more about looks than flavour, though. The presentation of the crêpes is impeccable, but they're just your standard fare in the end.
The service is good enough for Montreal, which means it's a bit slow. Having said that, it was still one of our best experiences in the city. I would definitely go back, but you can probably find tastier crêpes if you look around.Listed in: Montreal

This place looks like a small crêperie from the outside, but it's giant in the inside - 3 floors of dining rooms?
It's more professional than I was expecting too, so obviously I got different results. Not that the crêpe is even close to bad, but you know, they just make the pastry, add some pre-cut fruits and cover it in chocolate sauce. This by any means can taste bad. But when the fruit is fresh cut it tastes better, when they make the crêpe with the fruit, everything tastes different (the fruits are a bit warm), etc.
So, it's just a 3-star crêpe. I have had better ones. Service was standard, everything was three-star. -

When you're on vacation anything goes. An by anything I mean consuming a giant-sized dish of crepes, smothered in vanilla ice cream drizzled with Belgian chocolate, and piled high with strawberries and bananas--FOR BREAKFAST!
On a snowy Montreal morning, we sat on the street level of this charming little creperie, watching the passersby and wondering how on earth they survived this weather without proper bundling! I kid you not, some of these people were in track jackets or heavy sweatshirts! I was but only thankful to be inside this warm, delicious smelling restaurant!
With three floors and several pages of crepes to choose from (plus quiche and other fun foods) you'll find a place to plant your bum and some yum to fill your tum in no time!Listed in: Merci, Montreal!

Housed in a small three story building in Old Town Montreal's touristy cobblestone district sits Creperie Chez Suzette (CCS)
I sat myself inside CCS and found it quaint despite the bustling streets. I think that the French country decorations added to the quaintness to it. I sat at a table at the front of the restaurant near the open windows to people watch. It provided great entertainment while I waited for my order.
It serves crepes in hardy sizes, sizes that I've never seen before, even in Paris. I could barely finish the first one. Admittedly, I had a small salad before hand that may have damped my eating capacity.
CCS is moderately priced for a wide variety of crepes from vegetarian to the rich and dangerous sweet filled crepes sauced in chocolate, saddled with ice cream and filled with fruit - strawberries or bananas. -

I'm guessing Chez Suzette is pretty much just for the tourists based on the area it's in but if I lived in Montreal I think I'd brave the tourists to frequent this place. It has a warm and cozy atmosphere, vegetarian options and reasonable prices for the portions and taste.
I opted for the L'Argenteuil crepe, asparagus, bechamel sauce, and pine nuts in a crepe, then there's cheese on top and it's baked. OH MY GOOD GOD it was heaven wrapped in cream sauce and baked with cheese. I asked to add mushrooms to the crepe and they came on the side. At first I thought, that's weird, but it was nice to have a mushroom with every bite.
My husband opted for the Crepe aux Avocats, which boasted pesto, avocados, and tomatoes. He added swiss cheese, which was also baked on top. It was a refreshing and yummy crepe but nothing compared to the fatty, rich, creamy crepe that I ordered. He was jealous. My reasoning for 4 of 5 stars instead of a full 5 is that the asparagus was just slightly tough.
A senior tour sat next to us and cracked me up with their Seinfeld's parentsesque comments. They also seemed pretty happy with their meals. If old people like it it must be good right? -

We got into Montreal late on a Friday night and were hungry so we wanted something quick and not too heavy. We stumbled on this place. Waitress was very sweet and helpful. We had soup, salad and " breakfast" crepe. Everything was really good and fresh. We went back the next night for dessert crepes! Yummy! Share one, they are big & sit on the top floor so you can look down into the street.

As first-timers in Old Montreal and ones with young kids, we were thankful to have come upon this place. After an exciting day at the Montreal Science Center (which is very, very close from here), we were all starving! We thought that this place was perfect for us that night because the ambience was charming, if not romantic, and yet, very accommodating to little ones.
We were fortunate to have a server who was very sensitive to our family's needs. She suggested that we share the crepes with our daughters (as opposed to ordering separate for us) because they were big enough servings. So, that worked out well. In fact, in the end, we were all too full for desserts. We had the La Quebecoise (with Swiss cheese, ham and Quebec maple syrup) and the Chicken Supreme (chicken pieces and ala King sauce). And boy, I would never forget my husband's and 1 yr old's first taste of escargot! We also had a fine bottle of Brouilly, which our server suggested.
Food was actually simple and really unimpressive. But, like I said, it was perfect for us that evening!
And just to add a note to parents: There was no changing table inside the toilettes but you might want to try out what one mom did: she used the top of the deep freezers laying by the coat racks as her baby station. I think it works well! -

These were by far the best crepes I've ever had. Even one of the better meals I've had. We got the apple, cheese, and maple syrup crepe and a strawberry, banana, and chocolate. The apple crepe was amazing. As the case with most places we went to in Montreal. The service was a bit lacking, but very polite. The restaurant itself was also very charming and good for people watching.

Absolutely divine crepes, very indulgent and yet not so filling that you feel stuffed afterwards.
We were warmly greeted at the door by the hostess and immediately seated (a nice surprise at noon on a holiday Monday in the touristy part of town!) at a table in the middle of the room, then she promptly moved us to a table near the window as soon as she finished cleaning and resetting it, without us even asking.
The service was quick and polite, coffee was refilled without us needing to ask and the crepes... well, they were delicious.
I ordered Le Sonia, which was strawberries, bananas, vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce. My husband had Le Jamaicaine, which was similar, but without strawberries. Both of us easily finished our crepes and one of the two scoops of ice cream, were satisfied and agreed that there was no way we could have had a savory crepe and then the sweet ones, so I think it's the type of place we'd return for a dessert or specifically for savory ones for a meal. The coffee was even very good (Cafe Brossard brand, I believe) and provided a nice balance to the dessert crepes. -

Such excellent service and food at lunch that we came back for dinner since we were just too tired to make any other decisions. We didn't regret the choice at all. Don't miss the Crepe Suzette!

It's Montreal, and it's in a touristy section, so the prices are a little high, but the crepes were wonderful. I has the brie and green apple crepe and my husband had the mushroom/swiss crepe. We decided to pass on dessert, which is too bad because many of the dessert crepes looked amazing.
The service was quick; the restaurant was large, clean, and comfortable. -

My boyfriend and I stopped here on a whim. Thank goodness we stayed for a table, the food was amazing. If you like crepes and seafood you must try La Neptune. It's a bit pricey, but oh so good. La Quebecois is also very good. Very filling as well.

Yikes. It just didn't hit the spot. Maybe bechamel sauce isn't great with eggs but I just found the whole enchilada...I mean crepe...rather bland.

By reading some good reviews, my husband and i went the first time on december 29th, 2011. we were led to sit on the first floor at the right side of the entrance. during our meal, we were surprised that almost all other customers were led to the upper floors. it was at least -15 celsius degree outside. our table got all the cold air every time the entrance opened and closed. we rushed to finish our meal in half an hour as the temperature got unbearable. i talked to the waitress about the problem and she said she could not do anything about it and asked me to talk to her boss. i asked her again when we checked out . this time she said she was sorry and she was the manager . she took our drinks out of our bill. overall, it was a disappointing meal. we felt that we had been used like a department store window display to attract more customers for them. we will not go there again.

Great location in Old Montreal and the old-world feel of the restaurant add to its charm. Service was not great, but aside from that the food was pretty good. There are some nice salad option which can be tough to find so if you're looking for some good greens this is a good location for you. Lots of sweet and savory crepes and fondue options.
I LOVED my Parisienne crepe which had apples, brie and of course some maple syrup. Many of the other crepes included cheese and some more cheese on top...I felt like my dinner option was sutto healthy. Chocolate fondue is a must and one portion was very generous. Our dessert was accompanied by loads of fresh fruit, bits of crepe and marshmallow. -

We stayed right on Rue St Paul in the heart of Old Montreal and found this a very convenient spot to have a relaxing lunch on a cold snowy afternoon.
We decided to have one of the special combos for two for $59.95.
We each started with a caesar salad.
Next we had each had a choice of either french onion soup or escargots. My wife chose the former and I chose the latter. Both were well executed and perfect on such a cold afternoon.
Next came the cheese fondue. It tasted like the fondue that my mother would have made for us back in the 1970s. They served it with 3 types, or so, of bread and some cut up apples.
Lastly, we got to choose between crepe suzette or crepe viennoise. My wife chose the former and I chose the latter. I am not big fan of Grand Marnier so I didn't even taste hers. However, she said it was excellent. I enjoyed the chocolately goodness of mine.
It was a good stop and enjoyable meal! -

What's not to love about this place... yummy savory crepes and cafe au lait. We liked the crepes so much we came back twice during our trip. I love the egg, swiss cheese and avocado crepe.
The restaurant looks small with limited seating until you walk upstairs to go to the washroom and discover an extensive upper dining room enough to seat 50. -

OMG
Love their crepes. Had their la sonia crepe and a latte which ended up being $20. But oh so delicious and filling. Instead of having it as a dessert, that ended up being my dinner. The crepe was thick enough to withstand the fillings. It's not that thin where you can't even taste the crepe. And they sure are generous with the fillings. Delicious. Latte wasn't strong enough though. -

I had the most horrible experience in that restaurant... we arrived to the restaurant before 7... we didnt get our entree until 9... we had to ask and remind that we hadn't ate... all we ordered were cheese fondues... we saw people who came after us left already... and the quality of the fondue wasn't even good... i had better in NYC...
the service was terrible as well... we asked the waitress to lite the candles for the fondue(she only lite 1 candle which the cheese wasn't even hot) she told us all the excuses that she couldn't lite them while there are like 5 candles underneath...
At the end, i requested for the manager... her reason for havin us waited for the fondue was the restaurant was really busy... dun feel sorry at all... -

What more could you want? Delicious, hearty crepes. People watching from the third floor window. They saved us when our blood sugar was low from too long of a walk through Montreal. Merci, Chez Suzette! Merci!
