I ordered one of the favorite menu items, dark melted chocolate with a side hot chocolate ($10 + tax/tip). The melted dark chocolate was small in quantity but exactly what you'd expect it to taste like. I was expecting the hot chocolate to be bland in comparison but it was surprisingly quite rich, and very sweet... Definitely satisfied my sweet craving, but I wouldn't call it good value.
Food: 3/10
Service: minus 1 star
I typically do not penalize for service, however the attitude here is exactly what's wrong with many Montreal establishments. I had a bad feeling before even ordering. The waitress was obviously more concerned with flirting her male colleague than serving customers. I had to wait quite a long time before being seated, wait quite a long time before getting the menu, make multiple fiery eye contacts before being approached. Menu placed on the table with her back turned away. Same with water. After finishing my chocolate, I put my credit card on the table and fired several rounds of eye contacts to no avail, only seeing her pass by multiple times while looking away. I finally flagged her down and said "can i have the bill?" before she came back and grabbed my card while continuing to look at the guy behind the counter. I once again shot fiery glances at the girl when going out, obviously without any sort of greeting. I get that the typical clientele is distracted couples or large groups who don't care about fast personable service, but that's not an excuse to abuse customers. I kinda wish she didn't give me a receipt so that I can report their ass to Revenu Quebec.
Not impressed. Neither by the food quality nor service. The execution is just inferior to Juliette & Chocolat on so many levels. Avoid.
