| - We arrived at 12h Saturday to a long lineup of hopeful brunchers. It was a bit cold, so the stand of free, hot coffee and milk outside was a welcoming sight. It took a whole hour to get seated, but we were in a good mood and excited to see for ourselves what Le Passé Composé was all about. We were lucky to sit in a corner, next to the large windows, the D.R.E.A.M. table for picture-taking foodies. Unluckily, we waited another whole hour after placing our order, and ended up receiving our food 20 mins before closing time. That didn't really sit well with us.
Nevertheless, the food looked impeccable (we got the "Rural Poached Eggs" and the "Passé Composé Breakfast"). The plates were coloful, the portions were generous, and everything was well prepared. I think they ran out of the mango, because we got raspberry shots instead. The poached eggs were probably the best I ever had - the sauce was rich and creamy, the pulled pork combined well with the wild mushrooms, and the thick slices of toast underneath covered with pesto. My boyfriend's breakfast platter was perhaps less exciting, but still a solid amount of food. The potatoes were underseasoned, but the ham was delicious and eggs were good. His favorite part was the French toast, which he smothered with maple syrup.
I would go back (they have quite a number of delicious-sounding items on their menu), but I'll make sure to get there at opening time to avoid waiting.
