| - Location: In the St. Henri area. Street parking is available but metered. You can usually find parking on the streets that surround the park across the street. Right now there's construction in the area, so expect detours!
The place: Small and bright with communal tables and bar seating. If you sit at the back, then you see into the kitchen. If you want a table on a weekend then I'd suggest you get there when they open. We arrived around 10ish, and were able to get seated right away, at the communal table by the kitchen. We lucked out and no one joined us.
The goods: I ordered the pancakes with bacon, sausage and eggs (Grand Slam). I rarely order pancakes but I know my friend and I would be out walking all day, so I wanted to fuel up. These pancakes were fantastic and doughy and delicious! I mean really, I could have eaten another batch but you have to draw a line somewhere. The beef bacon was good, though there was some fat - I'd never had beef bacon before but I quite liked it. I just didn't eat the fatty bits. The sausage was OK - more like a giant hot dog, which I'm generally not a fan of. They will cook the way you ask them to, so don't be shy about letting them know what you like (but don't ask them to scramble - I don't think they'll do that!). My friend ordered the Moroccan something.... salad? I don't remember, but she loved it. We were both super happy with out meals, and while we were 100% satisfied, we didn't feel stuffed.
Service: Good.
Price point: I think it might be a little expensive, but I do think the quality of the ingredients + portions warrant the prices. I'd include coffee to balance things out.
