| - This place is good, but not amazing. I don't make plans to come here for breakfast but if I'm around, this place is always satisfactory.
I was here last 2 days ago (Sunday around noon) with a friend visiting Montreal and we ended up having brunch here. She is very selective with the foods that she eats, so the menu was perfect because it is extensive and offers many dish variations e.g. pancakes with fruits only or pancakes with the all-American breakfast plate. There is definitely something for all tastes and cravings. My only complaint is that every single smoothie contains bananas, which I can't eat.
We were sitting on the terrace which was nice because it was nice and sunny. In retrospect, I shouldn't have accepted the waitress' offer to sit on the sunny side of the terrace. Although it wasn't excruciatingly hot, after sitting there for a while, the sun and heat become uncomfortable.
The waiters were constantly moving around with chairs, reorganizing the terrace and this was distracting. At least, we didn't have to wait to get seated and the lineup never seemed to get long enough to really call it a lineup.
The food was good, not great. The potatoes are actually very good (many other breakfast places have disappointing potatoes in my opinion). The bacon was a little crunchy for my taste. The fruits were fresh and juicy.
Overall, I would give this place 3.5 stars if I could. Everything about this place is alright, nothing really stands out, whether good or bad. So I will keep coming whenever I'm downtown and in need of brunch for a decent price.
