Our server was friendly and efficient. Once we finished our main courses and 4 different servers gave us updates and ensured we would get our dessert promptly.

Rustic and small yet simple and clean.
[QUALITY] - 5/5
Yes, this place lived up to the acclaimed "Sophisticated French bistro" title. The high-quality and fresh ingredients made the dishes taste SO GOOD!
[ORDER] - 4/5
- Passé Composé's Breakfast - $20.00: I ordered over easy eggs and they were cooked perfectly. Bacon, sausage, cooked ham on the bone were deliciously smoky. I tried creton (a pork spread) for the first time. I put it on my baguette and it was nice and savoury. French toast was life-changing! It was deliciously crisp on the outside and the sweet egg flavour soaked all the way inside the bread. Also comes with a mini smoothie and fresh fruit. -
- Smoked Salmon Poached Egg - $16.00: English muffin was deliciously topped with fresh slices of smoked salmon, and a creamy béarnaise sauce. Also comes with a mini smoothie and fresh fruit. This dish is very excellent, I would highly recommend it.
- Apple Beignets $9.00: I was slightly thrown off because I thought this would be a pastry but it was actually just deep-fried apple slices covered with dough. The ingredients were fresh, but I feel like the crisp apple and deep-fried dough did not complement one another too well.
[OVERALL] - 5/5
Definitely my favourite place for brunch. I really enjoyed the fresh Smoked Salmon Poached Egg and Passé Composé's Breakfast. Along with the ambiance, this place is the definition of "good food, good company, and good times."
