Review from Ms. V.
Mont-Royal, QC
3/13/2012
After a beautiful Sunday afternoon spent walking along Mount Royal we decided we needed a sugar fix.
We got there fairly close to closing time and were told, very apologetically, that they had very few choices left. I'm almost glad that was the case since it was difficult enough to choose between the limited options! In the end, I opted for peanut butter chocolate chip and carrot and raisin with cream cheese icing and a mini pot of red lychee tea.....FANTASTIC!
The cupcakes are moist and flavourful without being sickly sweet. The chocolate chip cupcake had a light peanut butter frosting which was very soft with no heavy peanut after-taste. The carrot raisin was moist and subtle with a very light, tart cream cheese icing. Perfection.
Most amazing is the fact that the cupcakes are so moist and light so you're not left with a heavy, full feeling and a sugar hangover after indulging.
When we asked about the secret to the moist batter, we were informed that its literally a secret and bakers are asked to sign confidentiality agreements. We were, however, told that they spend countless hours perfecting their recipes and each is the result of several less-successful attempts. They're very concious of the health risks posed by refined sugar and use fresh, mostly organic ingredients and try to buy free-trade as much as possible....pricey but certainly evident in the quality.
The owners were lovely - very warm and welcoming and happy to chat!
Would definitely recommend! -

I must say, I've never had such moist and soft cupcakes in my life. I believe this is what makes D Liche better than most cupcake places. Other cupcakes shops make their cupcakes way too dry. D Liche has great flavors like peanut butter, black forest, red velvet,, dark chocolate, vanilla from a special kind of bean etc. I ordered 12 minis (and they are VERY mini so beware) for $16. Expensive, (about 1.50 each) but they are really worth it. One bite and you taste a difference in the cupcakes you buy at the grocery store/another cupcake shop. I recommend any flavor really, can't go wrong. I haven't tried their large ones yet, but I try the minis first to get a sense of their flavors. I think it's 8 minis for $8.50, not quite sure the pricing for less minis. Anyway service is really good too, very friendly. Definite must try if you love cupcakes!

I walked past this place probably a hundred times before daring to go in. Around 8:30 on a Friday night I finally ventured in, trying to find a treat for my sweetie waiting for me at home. They said that they were almost cleared out, but they still had a fairly good selection for 30min before closing. I got 2 chocolate raspberry, a peanut-butter cup, a triple chocolate, and a vanilla. All were AMAZING!!! My sweetie loved the peanut-butter and I loved the triple chocolate...I'm a dark chocolate lover :-) That night, I actually dreamed of the cupcakes!!!!! I will absolutely be back!!

Français plus bas...
It's the first review, please let me elaborate on this place since no-one has so far and it's a crime I can't stand by anymore.
I went there under a friend's advise. A Cupcake place. Well let me first tell you I'm not necessarly a Cupcake personne. It's good, but is it good enough for me to want to come back ? Well after buying the most D-liche-ious cupcakes I've eating in...forever, I'm know one of those person that got into the Cupcakes Frenzy! The concept is great and the owner a gentleman with a passion for Cupcakes. He didn't go in business right away, he made sure to learn from his great clients (Such as Cirque du Soleil) get all the feedback until his mojo, fund and a business opportunity opened. The store his quite new but it already has a established clients. The decor inside his great. Really clean white marble counter. 10 kinds per day which changes daily. With a variety of 50 cupcakes, this might be the best cupcakes in Montreal. Basta!
If some may argue it can be a little pricy, it is a delight and a high class delight because in a cupcake there's not much that can be re-invented...until you get here. The moto of the owner is to have low-sugar but rich cupcakes. That what makes them utterly delicious. Less on the cheap commercial creaming which is full of sugar and has really poor texture.
So I had the honor of tasting some Red Velvet (amazing!) Chocolate cupcake (with a 90% Coco), Carot-cheese creaming cupcake, Caramel El Duce (amazing! like reallly solid!) Choco-Vanilla ( Really great as well ) and Lemon cupcake; The creaming really reminded me a kind of Meringue with lemon but it's was more creaming then meringue
C'est un ami qui m'a conseillé d'y aller! J'suis pas un gars a cupcakes. En toute honnêteté, je ne comprenais pas vraiment l'engouement. On ne peut pas indéfiniment ré-inventé la roue quand même!? Puis je peux vous rassurer que je vais y retourner. Les gâteaux y sont vraiment D-Liche-ieux. C'est les meilleurs que j'ai mangé à vie. Le proprio est un gentilhomme passionné par les petits gateaux. Il n'a pas commencé tout de suite, il a une entreprise de traiteur qui ont comme client Le Cirque du Soleil pour ne nommer qu'eux et au fur et à mesure que l'expérience pris de l'envergure à un point d'ouvrir sa boutique de cupcakes. Le concept est bien pensée. 10 sortes différentes par jour qui s'alternent et on a au total 50 recettes proposés au total. Certains pourrait dire que les prix sont un peu élevé mais le fait est qu'il s'agit d'un petit gâteau de haut calibre. Le proprio privilégie un cupcake faible en sucre mais riche. Contrairement au crèmage commerciaux qui sont hyper sucré et qui ont une texture plutôt moche. Un gateau moelleux. C'est le secret d'un bon cupcake.
J'ai goûté a 6 sortes: Le Chocolat ( Un Cacao 90% pur) Très chocolaté mais pas nécessairement amer. Le Choco-Vanille. Très bon aussi, Des goût classique qui quand sont très bien fait sont géniaux! Le Carotte et crémage au fromage. Le gateau au carotte, frais et moelleux. Le Red Velvet c'Est un classique que je ne connaissais pas qui semble-t-il vient de NYC. Ils sont succulent. Ça rappelle le gateau avec un petit gout de cerise bonbon et crèmage à la vanille. Le cupcake au Citron. Ça me rappelait un peu la tarte au citron dans avec un petit gateau citronné. Très bon. Finalement, le cupcake au Caramel El Duce. C'est un caramel plutôt crèmeux et sucré. Le crémage amortie le côté agressif du sucré du caramel en gardan un subtilité au goût.
C'est pas mal les meilleurs cupcakes de Montréal. Si on me dit le contraire, qu'on me pointe un endroit, je testerai et mettrai ma révision à jour! -

My husband and I walked by D Liche and were drawn in by the beautiful space and desire for a sweet treat. The owner is delightful, the space beautiful and the cupcakes, OUTSTANDING! We live in Boulder, Colorado and have a cupcake only bakery as well but the cupcakes at D Liche absolutely are the best either of us have ever had! My husband had a triple chocolate, I didn't know that 90% cacao is black. Food coloring isn't used in the cupcakes. I had a carrot cake cupcake. We couldn't leave Montreal without a second stop. My husband had a triple chocolate again, although a large cupcake this time and I had 2 minis, a strawberry and caramel. The cupcakes are moist, not too sweet and absolutely D Liche. There are so many great restaurants in Montreal but save dessert for D Liche.
