| - One of the best restaurants I've ever been to! It's a triple threat - the freshest ingredients in exciting, creative combinations; the quantity is excessive to say the least; and the service was impeccable! I can't say enough and I promise this isn't a fake review. I hardly ever write these things.
First off, you should know that there will be a wait (even at 10:30 on a Thursday). Not too bad at that time, maybe 15-20 min. Not sure about weekends. It was a short walk west from the Mont-Royal metro station.
We had three awesome smoothies to start with big fresh fruit garnishes. They were all good and all tasted really healthy. Even my son's apple juice was fresh made that morning.
Each of us then got a beautiful fresh fruit ka-bob before our meals. Big and healthy, yum.
I had the eggs Benedict with salmon. Loved it! It all tasted so fresh and perfectly cooked. The shock was that there were two of them! This is a meal that will stick with you a very long time. I hardly touched the hash brown potatoes. They were also great but I just didn't have room.
My wife had the eggs Benedict with mushrooms and bacon. Again, huge, fresh, and tasty. This was a little more "earthy" than mine but she's not a big seafood person. Whatever you're taste, they have a lot of options.
The kids had pancakes. As far as pancakes go, these were way above average. And they serve them with authentic Canadian maple syrup. They just seem healthier. Once again, the portions are huge. Four pancakes per order. They could have split one order. We took four home with us.
This review wouldn't be complete without a bow to Louka. What a sweetheart. She was so nice, friendly, and helpful; especially with our bits of "trying" French. Merci Louka!
