Lines were going out the door of this diner while the rest of the street was dead. This must be the best place around! We thought. Luckily, the turnover rate was quite high and we were seated within 10 minutes of arrival.
The food was very fresh and delicious, but we've come to expect that from Montreal. I particularly appreciated the creative flare in the decoration, the menus and the presentation of the food. The people are friendly and polite, the whole place has a joyful, lively atmosphere and the patio is a charming place to eat brunch on a sunny day.
My main complaint is that we had to wait about 45 minutes for our food to arrive. I understand they are extremely busy, but we were already really hungry when we arrived, and didn't expect such a long wait. Also, it's a bit pricey for breakfast food, especially when converted to US dollars.
