| - I've been here for brunch twice and was not disappointed on either occasion. The food is delicious, the atmosphere is charming, and the service is good. They serve each tea with timers, which is a plus if you're fastidious about how long you steep your tea. The espresso drinks are pretty good, too, though not the most amazing I've had in Montreal.
The baked goods are pretty great. They look heavier than they are, in fact. I tried a piece of grapefruit cake with basil cream cheese frosting. I could not figure out what was in the icing at first, and when I asked the waitress what was in it, her orgasmic expression was everything: she smiled, tilted her head back a bit in pleasure and said, "MMm yeah, it's basil cream cheese."
I have also tried the parsnip soup, which was very good, and the breakfast sandwich which came with a nice side salad. All were very delicious, though not quite as memorable as the unique grapefruit + basil cake, that I will definitely be trying to recreate on my own some time!
If you go on the weekends, be prepared to wait! Though service in Montreal is definitely not super speedy, be prepared to wait for your food a bit, too, as the kitchen is very tiny.
