Creperie Triskell was not open yet and we were famished from walking around the city all morning and needed some brunch quick. We happened upon this location directly next door to Triskell and were pleasantly surprised. I adore Square Saint Louis, and this eatery provided us with a view of the square and excellent food.
Everything here is fresh, including the waiter, and the juice. Seriously, everything I tasted at Bulle au Carre made me eyes roll back in my head. The buckwheat crepes were the best I have yet to taste; ultra thin, light, and crispy. I highly recommend the Goat Cheese and Tomato buckwheat crepe, which is served with a perfectly dressed salad. I wish that all Montreal creperies were created equal, but this one surpasses many.
There are also some sampler type dishes that are around $12 CAD and all inclusive, with fresh fruit with a drink (complete menu on their website). The Brunch Francais included a delicious baguette with house made fresh fruit jam, buttery crisp croissant, fresh fruit, fresh melon/berry fruit juice, and choice of hot tea or coffee. The breads here are crave-worthy, perfectly salted with excellent texture. The Brittany Brunch was similar, served with a lightly crisp egg, cheese, and ham buckwheat crepe. However, the item that stands out in my mind most is the Brittany Fig Pudding. Which is a dense lightly sweetened, creamy custard with a few plump figs at the bottom.
Every item here I tried was just heavenly!Listed in: Downtown Montreal

Both my dining partner and I had savory (buckwheat) crepes here. There were quite a few varieties to choose from, so if you bring a group, everyone should be able to get something to their liking. And besides, they were so, so very good! I ordered the sausage and onion crepe, which was marvelous--the sausage they use is very pleasant, and the onions were crunchy-sweet. My partner had the salmon, scallops, and sauce crepe, and was equally happy with his choice. We also had two glasses of the draft cider, which was some of the best both of us have ever tasted; it went perfectly with our crepes, so I highly recommend that pairing!
The English side of the menu here is (charmingly?) mistranslated in spots, and the staff definitely prefer to deal with their customers in French, so, as in many other places, if you can manage to avoid sounding like a big clumsy Anglophone that will probably improve the quality of your service. As it was, I felt adequately served here. The crepes definitely came out quite quickly and were, as I said, quite tasty.
We had hoped to have a meal here earlier in the week but they were mysteriously closed, with no note on the door or anything, when their own signs said they should be open. We shrugged and ended up going to a cafe a few blocks up the street (never a problem, finding good food on Saint-Denis...!). But I'm so glad we came back, because the crepes here are spectacular! I hope to try out the sweet ones next time, but would be just as happy having a savory one again. Yum. -

Super friendly staff. I had sausage & onion crepe. It kinda tasted like it sounds, like onions, sausages, rolled in a crepe. Tasty snack.
