"Tree-lined Laurier Street East in the heart of the Plateau is full of independent shops, cafés, and restaurants—it’s a classic-looking Montreal neighborhood with winding outdoor staircases and a very French identity. For almost 15 years, Rhubarbe has been a destination for those nearby and coming from afar, with viennoiseries featuring local fruits and berries in the display cases. Mini-loaf cakes are a big draw here, alongside Basque cheesecake and pavlovas. We’re partial to anything they make with raspberries or haskap, the tart, sweet berries beloved in Québec, in the summertime." - Ivy Lerner-Frank
"Stéphanie Labelle’s Laurier East haven is famed for seasonal pastries that are exquisitely crafted, perfectly calibrated between sweet and tart, and breathtakingly beautiful. A chocolate-passion fruit cake with chantilly cream, cheesecake with sea buckthorn jelly, and chocolate-pear cake with cacao crumble are currently on offer. Rhubarbe’s lemon meringue pie is another fantastic choice, even if it isn’t exactly a cake." - Valerie Silva
"Adorable Rhubarbe, headed by pastry pro Stéphanie Labelle, excels at all flakey pastries and seasonal desserts — and they’re all devastatingly gorgeous. The offering rotates, but visitors can expect options like mille-feuilles, éclairs, fruity layered cakes, and creative spins on the pavlova, such as rhubarb and wild rose version or one made with black tea and bergamot." - Daniel Bromberg
"This Plateau bakery is firmly in the pâtisserie camp (that is, it doesn’t offer bread), with baker and owner Stéphanie Labelle crafting some of the city’s finest and most creative pastries. Some prepared dishes and wine from Comptoir Rhubarbe (which is currently closed) are on offer too. Open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday to Sunday, and delivery is an option." - Tim Forster
"Despite the name, Rhubarbe offers much more than just fruity desserts. Chocolate favourites from Stephanie Labelle’s much-loved Plateau patisserie include macarons and a pot de crème with cacao crumble, as well as a chocolate-caramel fleur de sel cake that’s perfect for a celebration." - Mallory Frayn
