| - I literally just inhaled my brunch here.
There are a couple of reasons for that!
First of all, it was trés deliceux. I had Les Maîtresses de Valmont, which is poached eggs on English muffin with bacon, cheese and Mornay sauce drizzled over. The potatoes, as many reviewers have said, are unique to this place and extremely good but the real bonus for me was the generous serving of homemade mayo that came with them. It was light and delicate, artfully made. The fruit on my plate left a little to be desired but then again, it is early April in Montreal - not quite garden season.
Second reason for my instant brunch plate inhale? Well, the menu offers sooooo many choices (too many choices) that it took forever to decide on something. Also, the one dish I reaaaally wanted isn't served on weekends!! My manfriend was getting pretty HANGRY by the time we finally made our choices! Hahahaaa. However, when we did finally order, our plates arrived to our table miraculously fast.
Our server was wonderful - she seemed to psychically know our needs and was extremely attentive to them. Plus, she was bright and friendly and kept our coffee cups filled to the brim the entire time. Yes, infinite diner coffee! She also told us the theatrical and mythical inspirations behind the names of the dishes, so we heard some good stories, too.
The only thing I wasn't really feeling at first was the music choice, which was South American romantic ballads mixed with Reggaeton, but the sun was shining for the first time in days, and refracting through my water glass to make little rainbows were all over the table, so I warmed up to it eventually.
