I have been here a few times but admittedly not in a couple of years. So Yanik might be right that the quality has gone down in. That said, this place has been my go to spot for croissants and coffee when I'm in Montreal. I am very picky about my croissants, they need to use only butter and lots of it. No margerine. Good ones are hard to find. So I would go have my croissants and coffee and read the local papers. I cant speak to the lunch menu.
