| - As tourists, this was a wonderful brunch experience. Service is friendly, decor is modern and upbeat, portions are Goliath massive, and the food is delicious. We're so glad we picked this spot for breakfast during our touristy weekend in Montreal.
First, note that there's a wait. And they don't take reservations. We arrived right when it opened at 8:00 AM (we're morning people) on a Saturday morning and there was already a lineup. We waited about 5 minutes or so, and we were seated at a booth towards the middle of the restaurant.
Second, if you're driving. Street parking is free on Saturdays before 9:00 AM. Luckily, we finished eating just in time - otherwise, you will have to pay (watch for the signs indicating the times you can and cannot park).
Third, the food. The menu is entirely in French, but our server wisely knew we were tourists and translated what we needed. We had a) the French Toast with apple slices and bacon (which sounds weird but it totally worked), b) Eggs Benny with cheese, mushrooms, and other veggies. The food was delightful but sizes were so big that we found it very difficult to finish everything (share, if you can!). Everything came with a fruit skewer, which was fresh and delicious. We also ordered tea and a Nutella latte (which was okay, didn't really taste the Nutella). Overall, the food is great, service is top notch, so if you can, COME EARLY to avoid a wait for a table.
For two people, with tax, and tip, we paid around $40.00. A hearty breakfast and a great start to a touristy day.
