| - This place is INCREDIBLE! My friend and I went on a Sunday morning at 9:30, and there was already a ~30 minute wait. Once we sat down, the tables are close together, but the restaurant has a great, upbeat atmosphere, and it's fantastically decorated. Our server was wonderful - friendly, and engaging, despite how busy it was. Throughout the meal, he was very attentive.
We ordered the mango, pineapple, lychee smoothie and it is so refreshing and not too sweet. The smoothies are huge, so plan to share :) Once we placed our order, they brought over fruit kebabs, which were a great appetizer, especially while we waited for the food. We ordered 2 eggs Benedict - the smoked meat one and the duck confit one, and both were delightful. The smoked meat was savory, but not the most incredible smoked meat I've had in Montreal. The duck confit was delicious, but the caramelized onions did make the dish sweeter than I expected. However overall, these are some of the best eggs Benedict I've ever had with incredible and ample hollandaise, and perfectly poached eggs. The roasted potatoes are full of flavor!
If I lived in Montreal, I would definitely make this a regular weekend spot. I can see why people are willing to line up for it! Also, be sure to check out the bathroom!
