Goûter — Restaurant in Toronto

In hunt for some delicious pastries and croissants to go with that coffee your holding right now? Stop drooling over these photos and get yourself over to Goûter right now! I’m not a huge croissant person to begin with. Probably because my croissant experience has been eating those Costco ones and I mean for value + price you can’t really say no. But after coming across Goûter, my taste buds for croissants have change. It’s so flaky, airy, and generous on the filling (pending which one you get). I’m a Nutella person so when I saw they had a Nutella Croissant I had to get one. Very gooey on the inside so if that’s your thing, grab one. Raspberry Croissant is my partners favourite and always a go-to. It’s a instant classic. Not to sweet since they use their homemade jam as the filling. The Kouign Amann was something different. It’s bread dough layered with salted butter and sugar plus it caramelizes in the oven for that crispy outside and moist inside. The Almond Croissant (not shown) in my opinion, could use more filling. I love having a lot of almond filling when having that particular one. Like the same amount as the double baked but without the chocolate.

Service: During the COVID-19 protocols, 3 people at a time in the store. Very clean and employees are very helpful and always a delight to have a quick conversation with.

If you made it this far, thanks for reading and go enjoy a very delicious croissant with that coffee...

Came on a Sunday at 1130am. No line up and staff that were working were friendly, efficient and knowledgeable. Croissants were absolutely delicious. Family fave is their cinnamon knot. We should have ordered a dozen to go. Tried their jalapeno cheese croissant .. it was okay. Jalapeno wasn't spicy at all and the cheese was tasteless (probably because mozzarella was used) a sharper cheese would have been perfect. Having the jalapeno cut into tiny pieces and distributed throughout the croissant would also have been better than 1 slice of the pepper on top. Croissant/muffin was also delicious and the custard centre was flavored really well. Nothing was overly sweet except the almond Nutella croissant but it was still delicious. Breads, babka, jams and soups are also available for purchase.

The space is nice and airy and has a larger waiting section at the front so you're not on top of anyone while waiting in line.

Highly recommend a visit. Buy more than 1 item so you can sample all the tastes and textures. You won't be...

Desolée, but the taste doesn't add up. I had the almond croissant (3.75) and strawberry danish (3.50)

The croissant was no better than store bought stuff and the danish was just plain terrible! The strawberry filling was extremely mushy that it tore through the bag. Never have I ever had such a bad fruit as this

Moreover, the cashier charged me 4 dollars for the almond croissant when the display price tag clearly said 3.75. Eventually, I got my 25 cents back (technically, I was owed 29 cents back, which rounds up to 30 cents, so they still owe me another 5 cents). I was not impressed with this at all

Overall, this was a very disappointing experience considering the owner is of French background and not worth the travel from the other end of town

If you want the best almond croissant in town, just go to Hadrien Verrier at Dundas West. They charge the same price as Gouter, but they are...
