| - Probably the most talked about brunch place in Montreal. It definitely lives up to the hype.
Unless you get there right when they open, or even before then, get ready to stand in line for god knows how long. That being said, they're pretty efficient with getting people in and out, without being too overbearing.
I ordered the Nutella French toast with the rum sauce and my girlfriend got a mixed plate of various brunch fare. They give you a little assorted fruit skewer before your food arrives. Adorable.
The food was seriously amazing. I didn't think I would finish all of it, but I did and I was immediately ready for a nap. The French toast was so fluffy and airy, the sauce was very sweet without being too sweet, and they gave you a bunch of bananas to boot. My girlfriend really enjoyed her food as well.
The only thing that was less than perfect (terrible, really) was the mojito. I don't know what the bartender did to my drink, but it was almost 3/4 full with straight mint, stems and all. It tasted like what I imagine Shrek's swamp water tastes like. Just way too minty and bitter.
All in all, the food is great and the place is really cool. Make sure to check out the bathrooms.
