On a recent family trip to Montréal, we wanted to visit the Mile End neighbourhood. We were looking for some coffee and a snack and this corner location beckoned us inside. Nat, the owner, was very friendly and engaging. While brewing our coffee (some of the best we've ever had - including Europe) and preparing our food he gave us a brief history lesson on Montréal and some insights about his lovely family. He treated us like we were family (or at least regular customers). He kept our 9 1/2-year-old totally engaged! The food was also excellent! Just as we were paying our tab, he gave us some complimentary snacks for the road. What a find!
We will definitely stop in on our next trip to that lovely city.
