| - Tasty and very filling - but compared to other brunch places I've tried in the Plateau, not what I'd call remarkable. However, the prices are decent enough and the options are plenty (maybe too plenty). The amount of food on each plate is definitely too much for one person - I prefer a more well thought out presentation with enough food but not over doing it. My plate had what seemed like a whole can of mushrooms, and each plates comes with ALL of the meat choices (bacon, ham and sausage), not just your choice of one. Overall, with the fruit bowl (some fresh fruits and some not so fresh), the mountain of fried potatoes, the baguette and your actual meal choice, it ends up being a lot of food wasted because an average human just can't pack that much food in their belly.
The feel of the place is kind of like a former 70s hotel bar and restaurant, nestled under an apartment complex on the corner facing Parc la Fontaine. It's easy to miss, especially if you're a cyclist and focused on the bike lane and getting through that large, busy intersection.
The service was fine, our dishes arrived in front of us very quickly, and there was plenty of seating despite the restaurant being very full.
It doesn't make my list of Brunch Best Bets but no regrets.
