Sweetness: This places rates on all 3 measures of Atmosphere, Service, & Food :O)\n\nAtmosphere:  Al-Baghdadi Pastry (ou Patisserie Al-Patisserie en Fran\u00e7ais) is located on Lincoln Avenue, a relatively quiet street just off Guy Street (near the Sherbrook intersection).  Since place is run by an Iraqi family (hence the name) - and it run very much as a family business.  The place itself if well lit, clean, and spaciously designed with a stone hearth welcoming patrons as they enter, and an elevated inner section where the full menu of freshly baked Arabic desserts is on display.  The place is not exactly designed for sit-down dinning, given that the menu itself is constructed of items often take-out to eat rather than enjoyed at a dining table (more on that below)\n\nService: If Al-Baghdadi fails in anything - slightly - it's the service.  Not because it's bad mind you! Given that it's a family business, the staff seems a little undermanned and as such the serivce may be a little slow or rushed at times.  If you know how to speak Arabic (even a little) you'll find that the staff if very friendly and talkative - being very proud of what they do.  Good people.\n\nFood: Ah - you'll love to eat here.  This isn't a \"slam, bam, thank you mam - type of place\" (a good example of that is \"Al-Taib\" on Guy just a few steps away).  The wait may be longer but the food is always made in front of you, and is served piping hot.  From Zahtar (thyme) to cheese Manoushe, to spinach and meat triangles (Sambousek) etc.  Typical Arabic bakery food at its best (a little more pricey than the competition but worth it).  Al-Baghdadi, REALLY excels however is giving you the best (and I stand by that) Arabic sweets in down-town Montreal (if not all of the city).  They may they best \"knafeh\" (baked cheese sweet with warm sugar syrup), as well as other Cheese and Cream (Kashta) Filled Sweets in addition to Gourmet Baklava (many types) and Mamoul.\n\nYou'll love the authenticity! Go!
