Good breakfast - I should come back for a lunch/dinner as well!
I've been meaning to come here for quite some time, but they were closed on Mondays, etc... But today I made it! I had quite a build up of expectations - word to the wise - always minimize your expectations, this type of place is usually over-hyped. Yet, I had a good meal - and the menu is classic Quebecois, so it's truely a nice experience. Unlike what a few reviews claim - the owner / staff were really nice even though my French is so so. When I asked (in French) what was the 'boudin noir' the guy answered 'blood sausage' and kindly offered me an English menu. I declined politely - because I knew that I wanted that! It came with eggs (I asked for scrambled), potatoes fried with onion (good), two pieces of toast (not burned as some reviews here claim), and their famous beans in lard (OK). The blood sausage was great. The coffee - meh. This was one heavy breakfast! I had it at 10 o'clock and basically skipped lunch (well I had a smoothie in the late afternoon, but that kept me going all day!). It's not a good place for groups of more than three because of the seating arrangements, but the place does have lots of character! I liked the food and the atmosphere a lot. I can't wait to try some more!
