| - I had to re-write this review with more detail after realizing how many 1-2 star reviews there are here--whaaaaat? This is among my favorite breakfasts in Montreal. You get an incredible amount of food, so come hungry or be sure to have room in your fridge for leftover potatoes.
The freshly squeezed OJ goes for about $5, but my god is it worth it. You get a large glass and it's so bright and refreshing. It's a huge pain to make at home, so it's always a treat to have. The coffee is pretty standard, and every so often I'll instead get a tasty espresso-based drink. All the food is delicious, although the fruit is better when it's in-season (no surprise there). My favorite is the French toast. I went with a picky friend who ordered nothing but French toast, and they served it with the most glorious mountain of whipped cream.
And those potatoes! Fluffy, flavorful, hot. I've taken them home before, and they reheat very well in the oven, with some crumbled leftover bacon. You also get plenty of toast with nearly every order, and they have a lovely selection of jams and spreads (marmalade being my favorite).
I try to avoid the busiest hours, because even when I go during the week in the late morning, they're very full. That said, I've always had excellent service (Dave is the best!!)--friendly, attentive, and quick. Sometimes you have to flag your server for the bill when it's packed, but I've never had a problem with that.
