If there’s one rule that Montreal abides by, it’s that there’s always room for dessert.
Everyone needs a bit of sweetness from time to time, and just because you can’t (legally) celebrate anything doesn’t mean you don’t have any reason to order a whole cake to yourself.

Any seasoned cheesecake fan will acknowledge Uncle Tetsu’s as the creator of the fluffiest, most addictive cheesecake in town. This lovely dessert is entirely made by hand and stamped with the brand’s signature cartoon stamp.
DoughNats

DoughNats’ bite-sized donuts are fanciful, adorable and, of course, super tasty. The creator, Montreal chef Nathalie Kaspy-Shtern, came up with the idea of making the traditional dessert a little bit smaller, so you can enjoy more of them guilt-free.
Rockaberry

If Rockaberry is known for one thing, it’s their selection of pies. Any flavour of pie you can possibly be craving, they probably carry on their menu (and they make it better than anyone else).
Dragon’s Beard Candy

This might not be considered a traditional dessert, but if you were looking for something sweet, try this treat made almost entirely of sugar. It’s made by hand-pulling a hard block of corn syrup in order to get sugary strands thinner than human hair, then filling it with chopped peanuts, coconut, sesame seeds, and just a little bit of chocolate.
Tsujiri
