| - I dined here for brunch last weekend. Having arrived earlier than the group I was with, I sat at the bar until they arrived. I had been to this location as Café Montmartre many times before in college, over a decade ago already now. It was a place where my friends and I would go out on nights we felt adventurous enough to walk "all the way" there from campus and feel like we were at a French wine bar. I remember back then the bar was on the opposite side of where it is now at the Heritage so as I sat waiting I was reimagining the space and atmosphere. Café Montmartre was never spotless and their kitchen back then wasn't either. However, as I began scoping out the Heritage I began to appreciate just how clean they keep the space. Not only was the dining area immaculate, but the somewhat open kitchen was meticulously clean as well.
At the bar I ordered a Café Latte as well as the fresh squeezed orange juice (each cost $4) - the orange juice was served with no ice cubes which means you don't get skimped on the juice, which I appreciated. As I viewed the menu I realized just how pricey this place is. It isn't pricey for what you are receiving, but pricey for someone like myself. It is definitely a special occasion kind of place for the ordinary person.
Having said that, not only is the space clean but it is also amusing. The antlers on the beer taps, for example, are a fun added touch. As are the little pig knick knacks hanging out around the restaurant, some more obvious, others harder to locate, almost like the venue would be perfect for an Easter "Pig" hunt. Once we were seated we noticed some little pigs looking down at us from the corners of the ceiling - I enjoyed discovering this because it makes the place seem less pretentious.
I ordered the ham and cheese omelet with the rosti potatoes and mixed green salad. The presentation of all of their food items is outstanding. My omelet was excellent, I could tell that it was made with quality ham and cheese. We ordered a side of bacon which was also good, it could have been served crispier. The croissants are mammoth and delicious. We were there for my cousin's birthday and the dessert tray they brought out for her celebration was amazing. It was served on a wooden board and among other items featured homemade sugared beignets that were still warm. They were delicious.
While I did notice one table with a sleeping baby, overall, this place seems geared toward adults. It is very loud inside, so given the fancy ambiance and noise level I don't think I would bring my small children here- although I am sure they would appreciate pointing out the little pigs.
