| - Imagine a sweet spot on the river, overlooking the marina, shaded under trees, a hot, humid summer's day, you're famished and need some much-needed victuals to get started.
Well, if you're lucky enough to find yourself in Verdun, the ugly-duckling neighborhood in Montreal, which is very close to becoming a full-on swan, and is starting to give the much ballyhoo-ed Plateau and Mile-End a run for it's money, you can always stroll over to the riverside and have breakfast or brunch here.
This place has it all.
Bagels done up French-toast style, Eggs Benedict with goat cheese and smoked salmon, all the usual egg, meat and toast combos, dozens of versions of Eggs Benedict, omelets, waffles, French toast, pancakes, $3 mimosas, buckwheat pancakes and crepes, yoghurt and fruit served up in parfait glasses. Come here alone or with a friend and enjoy the start to a brand new day while tucking into great eats and taking in a great view.
I'll be returning.
