We found this place purely because of Yelp! Thank you to all of you who reviewed and gave this incredible cafe such great reviews. You were spot on and we had the best impromptu brunch thanks to all of you.
We were looking for a place to grab a bite in Montreal before going to the Montreal History Centre and Yelp steered us in this direction. There was a long wait because it was late on a Sunday morning and it was obviously prime brunch time, but I'm so glad that we waited. The wait gave us an opportunity to view the incredible selection of pastries and beautiful desserts and made us all that much more, when we sat down, that we wanted to order the brunch sur la planche, which may just be the greatest deal ever. $20 includes a fancy drink (think iced cappuccino, house-made lemonade, or the richest hot chocolate), a croissant/brioche/other danish of your choice, a completely phenomenal egg benedict on choux pastry with salmon or ham (get the salmon - it's better!), a fresh fruit salad, and a piece of brioche bread (think French toast) with caramel sauce. So incredibly good! Ask for the house-made raspberry jam for your croissant!
The atmosphere is festive and fun and our servers were so warm and helpful. Highly recommended!
