"One of Montreal’s most popular Middle Eastern bakeries, Pâtisserie Mahrouse has been around since 1975. In that time, it’s become a favourite for its wide assortment of baklava, as well as halawet el jibn (sweet cheese rolls), ma’amoul (shortbread cookies stuffed with dates, walnuts, or pistachios), and zalabia (fried dough)." - Daniel Bromberg
