| - My wife, cousin and I ended up here when we couldn't get into Lady Marmalade at 9:30 on a Saturday morning.
It has a bright, airy, yet stark interior which took a while to warm to, but as it wasn't busy at all, it became a comfortable place to linger over breakfast.
The food and service were just OK. My OEUFS A LA SOPHIE ("eggs folded with this week's filling, served on St-Viateur bagel") was just exactly that. Nothing else on the plate...no garnish, no nuthin'. (This week's filling was swiss and mushroom...'twas tasty.)
My wife and cousin had the OEUFS A LA PROVENCALE ("eggs over easy on oven roasted tomato with garlic and fresh herbs, served with green salad and baguette"). The baguette was what tipped their decision, but unfortunately it arrived with some kind of "milk bread, because the baguette hadn't arrived yet". Perhaps our waitress should have told us that before.
Let's end with some good news/bad news. The coffee was good, but they have no potatoes (home fries, hash browns, frites) on the menu.
All that said, I think it may still be worth a try if you're looking for something new in the 'hood.
