| - In true tourist fashion, my friend and I set out late morning on a Sunday in search of food and quickly found Corso 1471. We were immediately sold by the brunch option: mimosa or juice, fruit salad or something else (we both got the fruit salad), a breakfast-style entree, a honey & something crepe, and coffee or tea (turned out to be bottomless!).
All in all, we weren't disappointed. My savory crepe with asparagus, ham and cheese was straightforward but definitely saved by the flavorful cheese. The fruit salad came with a yummy vanilla creme that was to die for and the coffee being bottomless was a major plus. Side note: as a heavy cream aficionado, I was so happy that restaurants in Montreal provided cream options vs. solely half & half at the table!
Since the food was good but not great, the service was friendly, we were sat quickly and the decor was nice, I would have been content to give 4 stars; however, our sweet crepe never came. And never came. And never came. So after a couple updates from our waitress, we agreed that we didn't want to wait any longer than the 30 minutes we already had for a crepe neither of us was hungry for. The waitress was apologetic, and while the price was still decent for what we got, it was disappointing to pay full price for a meal we only got parts of.
