| - There's better breakfast food choices in the area...much better ones.
Chez Cora was recommended to me by a friend, who claimed it was cheap and it was delicious. Me and a friend went here on Friday morning. There was a line that reached out their door, but the line went quickly. I took this as a good sign...but I shouldn't have. Chez Cora is huge, with many many tables inside and stressed staff trying to keep up. The waiters zoom past you nearly at a jog, and it's extremely difficult to get someone's attention.
I ordered 3 eggs over easy, 3 strips of bacon, 2 sausages, a mound of apple-cut potatoes, and some fresh fruit of pineapple, cantaloupe, and strawberry. The eggs were cooked perfectly, the bacon was alright...not soggy, so that's good. But strangely tasteless? I'm not sure how that happens. The sausages were the worst - extremely tasteless, I couldn't tell if it was a chicken or a pork sausage, or a combination. It just tasted like bland fat. The potates were also rather tasteless; I think they were simply boiled, sliced, and that's it. I see that some people are raving about having fresh fruit....but in Montreal, this is not uncommon at all. You'd expect it as much as you'd expect a hotel to have a toilet or a bed. There's nothing special about it.
Oh, also the waiter forgot to give us our coffee, which is supposed to be part of the breakfast set we ordered. It was hard to flag down our waiter - or any waiter - because he was constantly rushing around to deal with other people. This isn't his fault per se...they just don't have enough staff to cover such a big area. Even though there were many empty tables in our section...the waiter could traverse one entire row and not see my hand up at all, because there's so much space. We already had the single-serve packets of cream from when they first delivered our breakfast food, but they never gave us a cup of coffee to dump it in to.
Finally, we flagged the waiter down. "Isn't this breakfast supposed to come with coffee?"
Waiter replied, "Yes."
Long, silent pause transpired between us.
"Can we have our coffee?"
Waiter replied, "Yes." Then disappeared.
He returned with coffee that, sadly, was not worth the effort to get. It was weak, but at the same time I didn't want it to be any stronger because it also tasted awfully burnt.
The price is not drastically cheaper, so I would not go here again. There's far better breakfast places a stone throw away; their lower price does not justify the bland tastes and bad service. Why make yourself suffer over $2?
