| - This artsy and fun bistro in the Plateau neighborhood is clearly popular with locals at brunch, and it features a French-only menu. It was one of my more memorable dining experiences in Montreal. The brunch menu consists of typical omelets, french toast, and breakfast foods, but the specialty of the house is the eggs benedict. I'm normally not a fan of the runny Benedict, but I did enjoy the chorizo benedict a great deal. The atmosphere is artsy and hipster, and the crowd tended towards the same. The music was great. It was a great meal and a fun place to people watch. We arrived around 1 pm and had no wait or line.
The bathroom was awesome. If you miss it, you will be "blue".
One area for improvement for this restaurant is the service. We were seated quickly, but then left for at least 7-10 minutes without any menu or assistance. When we requested something, the waiter would disappear for long periods. I realize that we Americans tend to get into a rush at restaurants, but the service bordered on the neglectful. If I have to hunt down a server to request a menu, something needs to be addressed in terms of attitudes or staffing. Once we had the food, I was delighted.
