I'm told lots of famous Montrealers go here. I wouldn't know though because I haven't lived here in a long time.
It's got a bit of an L.A. feel in that people are looking around at each other a lot.
It's not uncommon for two grown men to go to lunch here and sit at a little table, order a bottle of wine, share it, eat, laugh, discuss. Maybe this is what people mean when they say Montreal is European. Cause you certainly wouldn't see that in States.
I love sitting at the counter and I love brunch. This restaurant located just north of the Latin Quarter on Saint Denis is perfect for both. Food is consistently fresh and good. You can order one eggs Benedict instead of two if you aren't famished - I like that.
A place to leisurely enjoy one of your weekend late mornings. I've sat at the counter deep in conversation until only an hour of daylight was left in the afternoon. Allonge, mimosa, fresh fruit in the middle of winter. Love, love, love it.
