Patisserie Harmonie

Cette petite pâtisserie dans le Chinatown je l’ai vu ouvrir, puis s’agrandir légèrement et évoluer au fil des années. Les produits sont frais, ils changent souvent les types de beignes afin de garder notre intérêt et curiosité. Ils proposent même des croissants et chaussons aux pommes qui ont un meilleur goût que certaines pâtisseries françaises!!! Les prix sont tellement abordables entre 1 $ et 3 $ et on peut même se procurer des bubble tea à différentes saveurs ils en ont au moins une trentaine à bons prix. En été c’est parfait! Service rapide pas le temps de trop sourire mais on né s’attend pas à autre chose du quartier et avec ce qu’ils nous offrent on né leur en tient pas rigueur. À consommer sans modération et à partager surtout avec ses amis et collègues vous ferez plein d’heureux :D

Love this place!
Located in chinatown, it’s cute, affordable, clean and SUPER DELICIOUS! I’ve tried their matcha roll cakes, cream cakes, chocolate eclairs and egg tarts and seriously, they are sooo good! The one thing I love about asian baked goods is that it’s just the perfect amount of sweetness and it’s never overly sweet which can get sickening. I’ve noticed that their cream is super smooth and perfectly sweet and their egg tarts are seriously ¹⁰⁄₁₀.
Will definitely come here again and get some other baked goods! Yumm

The place itself is separated into two sides, which was a bit confusing upon entering. There’s a great variety of pastries and the ones I tried were delicious. Their pineapple buns are also gigantic.

Basically our favorite breakfast pastry shop. The baked goods are sooooo delicious, you don’t need to try any other shops down the street. Everything is fresh, and it’s always packed (so you know it’s great). I loved grabbing an iced Hong Kong style tea (in the cold? yeah I know) with some egg tarts and pineapple buns. There are also plenty of snacks to buy for the road (Pocky!). Other great selections we tried, was the shredded pork buns, custard buns, and swiss rolls.
Yum yum yum :)

I’m going to be craving their honeydew bubble tea for years to come now. Very unfortunate, as I live 3 hours away. :(

Okay. Preface: I love egg tarts. I also love little Asian bakeries because it reminds me of home (LA). So low and behold, I find myself traveling through Montréal, stumbling on this particular Asian bakery and delighting myself to TWO egg tarts before dinner. When you travel by yourself you get to make these kind of wild decisions.
Anywho — they were delicious and just the right price. In addition, the ladies who worked there had great light hearted humor. I said I wanted two egg tarts — to which jokingly they replied, «TWO BOXES of egg tarts?» (This is funny, trust me.)
Me: Can I just get two egg tarts?
Cashier: No.
(Group laughter follows and I get my two egg tarts and with that I am on my way).

Buns, Buns, Buns! Bakery got buns! what more can you ask for?! They have a bun inception aka the cha siew bow inside a pineapple bun. The don tots are good, really good. Price are decent and the dough they use are fluffier than the ones I get in NYC. I even brought a box of buns on the airplane so I can enjoy them at home. Would like to return if in the Montréal area again.

This review is for their egg tarts only.
They were GREAT!
It was super difficult to find a decent place in Chinatown to eat! We finally settled for Patisserie La Legende across the street and then came over here to get some egg tarts to go. They were the right choice.

This place was so delicious and cheap. I had:
Egg Tart (danta)
The danta here are big and good! The egg was perfect and not overly sweet. I packed it with me on my flight to Toronto and it kept well the next day! Plus I’m sure everyone was envious as I devoured my danta on the plane.
Portugese Egg Tart
Also very good! These are a bit flakier, with a sweeter egg center. They’re oh so good.
Mochi (coconut sesame and honeydew)
These were really good! I’ve never had mochi in coconut or honeydew flavors and these did not disappoint.
Boba milk tea
Standard boba milk tea — boba was chewy and soft, milk tea was good but I wish it had a bit more of a tea flavor.
Overall I highly recommend Partisserie Harmonie. It’s such an on-​point Chinese bakery that I would say it could rival the bakeries in SF. it’s that good!

Holy Buns! I came here twice in my short weekend trip to Montréal. This place has the deliciousness of a hole in the wall asian bakery but delivered with organization and style! They had every kind of baked good/​dessert you could imagine and had everything clearly labeled. The price point is a little more than you’d expect from an asian bakery but everything is fresh, fully stocked and clean. I chose a coconut bun, red bean flaky bun, and 2 red bean sesame balls. My total was under $ 6 so I was very pleased with my selection. They also offer hot buns and snacks and I saw that they serve Boba Teas as well. On my next trip I’ll have to experience both of those! I wish there was one of these in Portland, but alas, I’ll have to make the trip back up to Monteal to get my fix!

Love almost all the savoury buns they offer, the sweet brioche used in Chinese baking is a welcome and unusual combination. I usually don’t care much for the desserts as I find them lacking in taste, but you can’t go wrong with the buns!

Overall reasonable set up. Concept is a dime a dozen on this stretch of Montréal’s Chinatown. We stopped in early AM on a sunday and grabbed a few buns and bubble tea to get the bridal party through our hair and makeup.
Food was reasonable but experience otherwise was less than appealing. They didn’t take credit cards unless it was «local» and when we went to pay for our $ 20.45 bill, fortunately my friend had a $ 20 dollar bill (American) we didn’t have 45 cents, we just didn’t but with the dollar 1.3 exchange rate… You do the math. We were fine taking the nearly $ 6 hit but they weren’t ok with us not having 45 cents? Unreal. Do not recommend.

A variety of asian baked pastries and bubble mik teas.
–Sweetheart Cake– a different take on winter melon inside. Actually had some small solid crunchy pieces, not as sweet as others
–Portugese egg tart– warm, flaky crust, soft egg custard w a light carmelized layer on top. To me this is very similar to their Hong Kong egg tart though slighty smaller.
–Hong Kong egg tart-​soft buttery crust, soft egg custard.

Patisserie Harmonie was a lifesaver for us during our stay in Montréal. This Asian bakery is located in Montréal’s tiny Chinatown, and it was very close to our hotel. Made it very convenient to visit here just about anytime we wanted to. Here is a rundown on what we tried here.
Hong Kong Egg Tarts are yummy! Crust is light and flaky. Definitely, some of the best egg tarts that I have ever eaten! (5 stars)
Portuguese Egg Tarts were good. Crust was a bit too burnt for my liking. (3.75 stars)
Fried Chinese Beignet donut. Yummy goodness! (4 stars)
Shredded Pork Bun. My wife liked this goodie a lot! (4 stars)
Banana Rice cake (mochi). Not bad at all. (3.5 stars)
Sweet Crusted Brioche had No Filling! Still delicious, though. (4 stars)
Mango and Peanut Mochi is really good. The texture goes crazy in your mouth. The filling is generous. Cannot taste the mango mochi though. It is overpowered by the peanut and coconut filling. (4.25 stars)
Bbq Pork bun is hot and good tasting. (4 stars)
These were not all the food that we ate here during our 5 night stay. Just some tidbits of information. There was more that we wanted to try, but our metabolisms would not allow.
Depending on what time of the day you go, this bakery can get very busy and crowded. The crew does a good job of keeping the line moving. They also do a fine job of keeping the shop clean and organized.
I wish that Patisserie Harmonie was in my hometown. Oh well… Chances of returning here our 100% during our next trip to Montréal!

I love Chinese buns and this is where I get my cravings out!
This place has a very good assortment of baked goods. Very reasonable priced, clean shop and the staff is very friendly and hepful. They are also open until late at night, that’s a plus to me.
The Chinatown in Montréal is rather small, if you are comparing to other cities in the world, but here I would say this is the best Asian bakery of Montréal’s Chinatown.
If you go on Sundays afternoons you might not get the same variety or freshness on the baked goods.

Perfectly average Chinese buns, pastries, and baked goods, although served in a nicer, cleaner looking shop than most of its Chinatown neighbors. The egg tarts (dan tat) are decent and authentic.
Not necessarily the best Chinese baked goods I’ve ever had, but I suspect the overall quality of Chinese food to be had here in Montréal pales in comparison to areas with larger, more competitive Chinese markets like Toronto (Markham), Vancouver (Richmond), NYC (Queens), and LA (San Gabriel Valley).

Saw a few reviews on Unilocal about this Asian bakery and had to drop. Out of all of the Asian bakeries that we saw in chinatown, this one had the most variety.
Taro bun — the taro was abundant and the sweet flavor was great, but outside texture of the bun is a little bit more firm than what I’m used to.
Red bean sesame bun — the red bean had the perfect texture and the sweetness was just right. The sesame seeds on the outside gave this bun a lovely nutty taste.
BBQ pork bun — the pork meat was shredded and the sauce was a little bit too sweet for my taste.
Red bean mochi — the mochi was soft, but the dough itself was a little flavorless.
Scallion bun — the texture was soft and the green onions and hint of salt on top made the perfect combo.
Scallion and pork floss roll — I didn’t taste this bun, hubby picked this one, but didn’t eat it until a few days later so the taste wasn’t the same if it were fresh
Pork and onion puff — another item that the hubby picked out. I didn’t get to taste it, but the aromas were tantalizing.
Overall, since chinatown is so small and doesn’t have that many bakeries, I would drop by again to grab a few pastries if I had a craving. Richmond, BC definitely beats Montréal in the Asian pastries department. I would recommend the taro bun, red bean sesame bun, & the scallion bun.

Went in on a fluke & found the unique black sesame bun & even more amazing almond milk tea! I’m Taiwanese so I know my milk teas & this was life changing!

Impeccablement tenue, cette petite pâtisserie asiatique surprend par la qualité de ses produits autant que par ses bas prix. La grande majorité des produit est faite à base de pain brioché, ce qui est assez curieux, surtout quand on choisit du salé, mais pas désagréable… Un choix intéressant de brioches salées, conservées au chaud, font de cet endroit un arrêt idéal pour boucher un coin sans se ruiner (1,50 $ pièce, et elles né sont pas petites) pendant une balade dans le quartier.

I was upset that I lived in Montréal because I could not get Chinese egg tarts anymore. Until I found this place! The best Chinese bakery in Montréal is definitely Patisserie Harmonie. The place although small, has a huge selection of buns, sweets and even serves bubble tea and dessert drinks! They also have a massive selection of cakes baked fresh daily along with single slices if you’re looking to party alone!
The service is great here and the employees often tell you about the specials they have in store. I also have come across many situations in the evenings when I go after work, and the employees just end up giving me free buns because they are closing for the day. You don’t get that kind of service at most Chinese bakeries!
Overall I’m so glad I found this place as they filled that Chinese bakery void in my stomach in Montréal. I’ll keep coming back here, the have great buns!

Love this place and every time I got to Chinatown I have to stop there for a few treats and a bubble tea.
Everything there is so good and also very cheap. They have sweet and salty pasties and so many different flavors of bubble tea.
The line is big at time but it is worth the way and they do take the bank card now…5 $ min

Une partie de ma famille est d’origine asiatique. Ils né sont pas reconnus pour avoir la dent sucrée. J’étais curieuse de visiter cette pâtisserie. J’ai bien aimé les pâtisseries fourrées de garnitures salées ou sucrées, mon gâteau au fromage et mangues les Bubble tea.
Une belle découverte

First things, first… get a tray and a pair of tongs then peruse the shelves for what bread or pastry jumps out to you. Stack ‘em as high as your tray can handle and head over to the counter so they can box it up for you nice and good. Make sure you have cash… it’s cash only!
What did I get? Well, for starters, I went with their PORK FLOSS, then I saw they had a SPICY ONE so I also got that, next was their HOTDOG BREAD, and I thought I already had too much but we saw the EGG TARTS, and finally on our way to the register we came across the CUSTARD FILLED-​BREAD. Bottom line, if you love fresh baked buttery pastries, walking in here is like going inside a candy store. Most of the items cost about $ 1-​$ 2 so don’t get carried away. Remember, «a moment on your lips, a lifetime on your hips»!
My favorites? Honestly, it’s the SPICY PORK FLOSS that really left a mark on my palate. It’s shredded dried pork drizzled on a buttery bun. No filling but the topping is more than enough to make this pastry burst with savory flavors. Not to mention, it’s pretty filling! The spicy level wasn’t as high as I hoped it would be but then again, I like spicy food. For me it’s mild so maybe for others it’s spicy enough. The PORK FLOSS that’s shaped almost like a square is another fave. Not spicy but the pork is drizzled on some mayo on top of the bread. That added fat just sealed the deal for me.
I didn’t get to try the egg tarts and custard bread since my friend ate them all. I hear they were good! The hotdog bread on the other hand was nothing to write home about.
Make sure to come in the morning to get the «freshest» pastries and bread. They also have quite a selection of bubble milk teas that looked really good. Now, I regret not trying any.
