Finally I've found it, my go to brunch place!! Yes there are many fine brunch locations in Montreal, but I find that the menus are often similar at so many places and I've been searching for that homey brunch feeling. Well at the Gryphon d'Or I found what I have been looking for.
This is a small homey feeling restaurant with friendly staff. The menu, displayed on the blackboard, is short but very unique. We were a group of five so we got to sample most of the menu, perhaps the entire menu (ok it isn't that hard as I think that there were only 3 items on the menu). The two standout items are the Rarebit Benedict, a poached egg on a scone served with melted cheese, either bacon or roasted vegetables and rarebit sauce (made of sharp cheddar and dark beer), and stuffed French Toast, hallah stuffed with either home made strawberry jam or lemon curd. And the best part is that you don't even need to choose! You can order a plate that is half Rarebit and half French Toast. True genius! Many of the dishes are served with homemade scones and/or home made apple crisp. If you what you order doesn't come with one its worth it to order it extra on the side. The scones are to die for!
Everything we had was excellent and I can't wait to go back. Oh, and everything on the menu is only $14 tax included!!
