A Montreal morning: crêpes à la Montréalaise

Montreal may be famous for its poutine – sticky gravy and cheese covered fries - but there’s nothing like Montreal crepes for breakfast on a cold winter morning.

Down St. Denis you’ll find several creperies including a small café called Juliette et Chocolat.

Inside, a dozen or so staff members dressed in bright red caps and aprons serve delicious foods from traditional crepes to salads with savory chocolate dressings. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, the tables a little rickety, and the food – phenomenal. Their menu offers every kind of crepes and if you have a sweet tooth, their fruit and chocolate crepe is delicious.

If you order a cup of hot chocolate – beware. The chocolate is melted right into your cup and served straight, a delicious but sometimes overwhelming treat. Try a variety, from bitter dark chocolate to sweet white chocolate.

Chez Suzette, in the heart of the Vieux Port, brings together a bit of French charm with delicious food. Cozy up near the window and enjoy steaming cups of hot coffee and chocolate laden crepes while watching the narrow coble stone streets typical of the Old Port.

At Crepe to Go, corner Bleury and Sherbrooke, you can order delicious rolled crepes right from their window and eat in the comfort of your home.

Another famed creperie also in the Old Port at Place Jacques-Cartier is the Jardin Nelson. Once summer comes, try the patio in the back and enjoy some of their savory creations.
