rustique

man, how do all the patisseries in montreal do it? seems like every place is super cute, charming; rustique is no different. 

we dropped by on a monday afternoon to try a few mini tarts/pies. there's many flavours (see the tartes saisonnières board) but also a variety of baked goods and drinks. they even do wedding cakes which i'm sure are divine. 

the inside is homey, staff friendly and love the cozy seating area to sit and relax. it's small but they have comfy pillows!

- white orchard and hibiscus iced tea ($3.50) - mo had her own mason jar so they used that to make her drink. can't say i've ever had such a flowery drink before but it didn't have much taste. 
- strawberry and rhubarb mini pies ($2.25) - a little too much crust to filling ratio but still tasty. they're about two bites worth. 
-lemonmeringue mini pies ($2.25) - filling was delicious. not overwhelmingly sweet. perfect amount to whet your sweet tooth.

this spot fits in perfectly with the rest of its food neighbours. will try a slice of pie next time!

my all time favorite!lemonmeringue is my thing but the other pies are good too. my second choice is keylime pie. i like the fact that they have different pie throughout the year.

a while back, i hosted a pastry tasting event for the mcgill fencing club. we ordered 48 mini-pies -lemonmeringue, tiramisu, chocolate-raspberry, chocolate-orange, snowball, and cherry pie. they were all gone within one hour.

march 13, 2015 mins in honor of pie day, march 14th, 2015 (3.1415…) : located at a 5 min walk from place-st-henri metro station,  rustique  is famous for its various pies. cozy, warm and welcoming, how can you not walk into this shop? big pies if you know what you like, coffee, a small seating area. i love pies. i had to control myself or else i would have bought everything. honestly, don’t bring your wife or your kids or your loved ones here; they’ll never want to leave. or small pies if you like everything. they had 12 different kinds of mini pies on display!!! after countless debates (and a lot of awing), i picked 2 of each of these: vanilla cherry cheesecake  in a chocolate crust: so creamy and just the right amount of sweetness and gooeyness peanut butter cup pie:  a bit dry but still tastylemonmeringue pie: is my definition of a cutie pie ! i fell in love. and i made a special request for 2  flat whites. they also have other goodies that i’m bound to come back to try. i would  definitely go back : to try all their pies for their great and lovely service – it really makes all the difference in making customers feel welcome and at home rustique is  best for : dates and small groups of up to 4 people it’s diverse pie

will pies be the next big thing? rustique is one of the very few places specializing in pies. you can find whole pies as well as miniature ones. there are over twenty flavours to choose from - some are classics, some are seasonal and some are inventive. the mini pies are perfect if you are the type of person who enjoy sampling. they cost $1.95 each or $20 for 12. i was meeting up with my friend jess for breakfast . we each ordered two pies. i went for the classics - pears and apples. the crust is flaky and golden brown. the fillings were tart yet not too sweet. reminds me of eating a (chausson aux pommes). my friend had the berry crumble and thelemonmeringue pie. both have the taste we were looking for in these comforting desserts. afterwards, i ordered a box of 12 pies with 4 creative varieties for take-out - peanut butter cups, pumpkin meringue, boston cream and apple-cinnamon cheesecake. each pie has a corresponding crust that fits with the texture and flavours associated to the dessert. the boston cream has a crust that is doughnut-like while the cheesecake has a graham crust. overall, all of them were enjoyable to eat. hard to decide on our favourite as they were equally as tasty. a point worth mentioning, few of the pies were difficult to remove from its shell. we ended up using a spoon. rustique does not only serve pies, but also other sweet treats like nanaimo bars, chocolate-coated meringues, coconut macaroons, etc... it definitely worth revisiting this to try out their seasonal varieties. pear and apple pies berry crumble andlemonmeringue pies  apple-cinnamon cheesecake and boston cream pies rustique pie kitchen 4615 rue notre-dame o. montreal, qc h4c 1s3 514-439-5970 http://rustiquepiekitchen.com/

the carrot cake and thelemonmerangue pie are just crazy delicious! not to be missed.

the plan was to get an americano and get out immediately… until i realized that a dozen mouthwatering desserts were staring while i waited at the cashier. thelemonmeringue pie was being an especially naughty one, eyeing me. “take me! take me! my crust is so crisp and my top soooo smooth”. there was no point even attempting to resist – so i didn’t. it took everything to stop me from ordering a dozen more bites. i urged mother to finish her drink to not succumb to the temptation. but don’t be fooled, i will be back soon. black forest little one, i haven’t forgotten you. p.s. rustique will celebrate its 1 year anniversary on february 15th. make sure you pay them a visit – they’ll be serving delicious hot cocoa samples!

mini pies for the win!. everything rustique does is great, but i really go for the key lime andlemonmeringue pies! if you haven't tried em before you need to stop by because they are really worth it.

i really enjoy blueberry pies and muffins, so when i heard of this new rustique pie kitchen that opened in st. henri, i knew i had to pay them a visit. after a delicious lunch across the street at campanelli's, i headed over to rustique pies for a little dessert.  upon entering the quaint little shop, i was greeted with the most delicious smell of fresh baked pies and other sweet treats.  a really delicious smell that immediately caused me to drool.  i quickly decided that the best way to try a little bit of everything was to get a little bit of everything - duh!  i chose the six pie box and selected an array of little pies.   thelemonmeringue was absolutely delicious.  the crust was amazing, perfect - extraordinary!  the filling was just delicious
