| - If you're in a long line for L'Avenue and you're tempted to ditch the waiting and grab a bite at Cacao 70 across the street, DON'T. Sure, you'll get a seat right away and they advertise brunch, but the place is just a facade. It looks promising, but it does not deliver.
First, the service was atrocious. We walked in and the hostess/server was standing right in front of us, but just ignored is for several minutes until we asked her if we could sit. At which point she told us to sit wherever even though the sign clearly indicated to wait to be seated. She then took forever to take our order. She even took the orders of Yankees that walked in after us first. She seemed annoyed and was not at all friendly--not even in the fake server way. Drinks took forever to come to us and all we ordered was coffee.
Second, the food was terrible. We all ordered omlettes that were over cooked and dry, but also cold. I don't even understand how that's possible. Additionally, the food had zero flavor. It was extremely obvious that the cook didn't even use salt and pepper. Condiments were brought in takeout packets and we were given one each. The potatoes were cold. Not like, sitting on the counter for a while cold. More like cooked hours ago cold.
Third, THEY DON'T SERVE LIQUOR. Their menu days you can add liquor to your drinks, but that was a flat out lie. Also, they don't take USD. First shit experience in MTL.
