| - First time here. I have never been to their other location in Plateau Mont-Royal.
We wait about 45 minutes to get in but we were lucky to cut the line since we were only 2 and everyone in front of us were larger groups. If you want to try this restaurant (which you should!), I suggest you go only with one friend.
We had the duck confit Benedicts and the "I'll take it all" plate. The plates are enormous, the waitress later told us there is an option to share a plate.
Both came with the largest fruit skewer I have ever seen. Fruits were fresh and sweet.
The duck Benedict was great. LOTS of duck with caramelized onions, the poached eggs were cooked perfectly. And the site of potatoes, OH.MY.GOD. So good, plus you can add one of their hot sauce or Cajun spices, available on the table.
Then "I'll take it all", a plate of eggs your way, French toast, pancake, bacon, herbs sausage, pork rillette, braised ham, beans, potatoes and a side of bread (choice of bread, Baguette or St-Viateur bagel. Scrambled eggs were very fluffy, and probably represented more than two eggs. Ham looked a little like pulled pork and made me regret my benedict choice. Rillette was creamy and topped with pickled onions. I am not a fan of beans but I have to admit that they were good. We did not touch the pancake or French toast so I cannot comment on that. French toast looked a little dry. All plates are served with real maple syrup, which is always a plus.
Coffee is not included, which I always find a little disappointing.
Service was great and waitress was smiling and talkative.
TLDR; Go, with ONE friend and your patience. Enjoy the food and decor.
