Even though we mostly cover the city of Montreal, we like to venture on the outskirts every once in a while, with the occasional trip across the bridge. To Laval<\/strong>. Before you say anything, we promise, it\u2019s worth it.<\/p>\n

\"Mr.-Puffs-Laval-Loukoumades<\/a><\/h2>\n

Nestled in the middle of a strip mall is Mr. Puffs P\u00e2tisserie Caf\u00e9<\/a>. Yes, it may not look glamourous\u00a0on the outside, but on the inside, we promise you\u2019ll find heaven. Mr. Puffs<\/a> is a Greek pastry shop that mainly serves loukamades<\/strong> among other delights.<\/p>\n

\"Mr.-Puffs-Laval-Sugar-Loukoumades<\/a><\/h2>\n

Loukoumades are deep fried balls of dough<\/strong> (so basically heaven) that are topped with your choice of the traditional honey, chocolate, chocolate hazelnut, caramel<\/strong>, or simple icing sugar (let\u2019s amend our previous statement: heaven in your mouth).<\/p>\n

\"Mr.-Puffs-Laval-Chocolate-Loukoumades-montreal<\/a><\/h2>\n

You can order a box to go<\/strong> and bring it to a dinner party (or bring it home, you don\u2019t have to share), or you can enjoy them there.<\/p>\n

\"Mr<\/a><\/h2>\n

For a little extra indulgence, try their Mount Olympus Sundae<\/strong>, a mountain of puffs topped with ice cream and chocolate, caramel, or berry. How very god-like!<\/p>\n

\"Mr<\/h2>\n

If you stay for a bite, grab a coffee while you\u2019re at it. Not a typical latte from your run-of-the-mill artisinal coffee shops (#latteart), but Greek style coffee, like a frapp\u00e9 or a freddo cappuccino<\/strong>. Both are cold drinks and both are delicious and reminiscent of Greece. Bonus points if you know how to order them in Greek.<\/p>\n

\"Mr.-Puffs-Laval-Tiropita-cheese-pie-and-Freddo-cappuccino-coffee<\/a><\/h2>\n

Stay for lunch and have a tiropita, their traditional Greek cheese pies<\/strong>. They\u2019re warm, flaky, and stuffed full of cheese. You won\u2019t regret it!<\/p>\n

\"Mr<\/h2>\n

In the warmer months, expect to see the Greek community sitting outside Mr. Puffs<\/a>with their coffee and cigarette, milling about all afternoon. It\u2019s not a real terrace, per say, but they make do. It works for us!<\/p>\n

\"Mr<\/h2>\n

If you want a true Greek experience, go to Mr. Puffs, have a coffee, a tiropita, and some loukoumades for dessert. It\u2019s the closest thing you\u2019ll get to a Greek beach in Montreal!<\/p>\n
