| - Was initially heading to le vieux velo for brunch until i realized I was walking down st zotique instead of beaubien. It was time for a blitz decision given the -28 windchill hitting me right in the face, so i walked into Brume dans mes Lunettes.
I had the crêpe with gravlax, which consisted of a crêpe (thin French pancake) with an egg, gravlax, and cheese along with some roasted potatoes and a side salad. Also, I had a filter coffee, which i like black.
Upon arriving, I was warmly greeted by the two friendly clerks, who were comfortable to go back and forth between English and French, in true Montreal fashion.
The verdict: The crepe consistency and the filling-to-crepe ratio were both spot-on. I also really enjoyed the tangy salad dressing. The roasted potatoes were a little stale, but nothing that maple syrup couldn't take care of. Finally, the coffee was very smooth and served at an ideal temperature.
I definitely recommend Brume dans mes Lunettes for brunch, although it seems that their specialty is afternoon tea, for which they offer three 'combos' made of a teapot along with traditional afternoon tea snacks such as cucumber sandwiches, scones, and lemon tarts.
