Came here for brunch with the hubby for Family day weekend. There was a line up (as per usual) but thankfully the line was still inside and not in the freezing Montreal cold. We got a seat after 15 min of waiting and they seated me even though my husband wasn't in line with me yet.
My husband ordered the brunch des cantons which was a skillet with scrambled eggs, beans and an assortment of meat. The beans weren't from a can and had a nice sweetness to it. There was some pork which pretty much melted in your mouth because it was so tender. The other meats in the skillet were rather lacklustre.
I ordered the scrambled eggs with cheese and asparagus. It was warm but not hot - there was a significant difference in temperature between my husband's dish and my own (and yes I know his was in a cast iron skillet but still, food should be hot). The eggs were cooked well (not overdone) but the lack of seasoning and relatively cool temperature of the dish made it a bit off putting.
I also ordered a smoothie which interestingly wasn't very chilled (I prefer my smoothies nice and cold) but was otherwise quite tasty. My husband ordered a bowl of latte which had a very milky taste.
Overall, le cartet is good but not great. I don't think I would come back here...if I wanted to wait in line for brunch I think there are better places to go.
