The Far Away Flavors of Pâtisserie Les Galets: Sinfully Delicious

Pâtisserie Les Galets of Montreal brings you fresh and delectable oriental pastries from Tunisia!

“Our pastries are handmade, use only first-choice natural ingredients, and do not contain any preservatives,” says Les Galets co-owner Rached Maalej. “They are 100% handmade, 100% natural, 100% fresh and 100% delicious!”

The recipes for these unique pastries are a family secret passed on from mother to daughter. In 1977, Manna Kabani founded Les Galets pastry shop, and decided to offer to the public her unique pastries, the recipes of which were passed on from one generation to the next in her family. In the 1970s, Manna was an employee at the U.S. Embassy in Tunis and participated in organizing several social events. Generous and passionate about cuisine, she often brought to these events pastries that she prepared with love in her own small kitchen.  It’s only when she noticed the excitement that her pastries elicited among her colleagues that she decided to take the plunge and open her own pastry shop. Thirty-six years later, clients from around the world can at last order these pastries online and taste them from the comfort of their home.

“Our pastries are fresh, light, refined and come in several flavors,” Maalej says. “We offer several varied assortments to satisfy all tastes: Dates Extravaganza, Nutty Nuts, Royalty Nuts, Honeyed Temptations, Honey Bliss, Pleasure Nuggets, Yummy Delight, Hazy Hazelnuts, Baklava Feast, Arabian Nights and Ultimate Pistachio. Our pastries are all shipped in a prestigious gift box, decorated with a beautiful ‘Fatma’s hand’ (or Khomsa), which symbolizes good fortune and protects against the evil eye.”
