The 2 stars are for the rustic decoration. I have been to at least 80% of the brunch places in Montreal. I always thought that the old port was overrated and mostly a tourist trap but who am I to refuse a new brunch experience. I should have. It was very disappointing.
1. The food was burnt and served cold. I still tried to eat it but then gave up since the potatoes and beans were dry, the bacon was stuck to the hot plate.
2. Service was terrible. two times we had to ask for food items that were missing on our plates. Like bread and jam which is basic. No fruit salad. and no "mise-en-bouche". To top it off, when the waitress finally arrived 30 min with those items, she only brought 1 portion. at that point I was done arguing.
I can take bad service, good food and vice versa but BOTH? no way. That was my first and last time at Cartet.
