| - Normally when I fly in to Montreal I don't have time to grab a bite to eat before heading off to my first meeting.
Today I had some extra time and so I decided to do something rare and have breakfast for a change.
Since I had some time to actually sit down to eat, I figured Tim Horton's and Illy weren't going to cut it, so I decided to take a walk down to the Marriott.
The Bijou Restaurant is located in the hotel right around the corner from the front desk.
The atmosphere was pleasant with some Latin music playing softly in the background. The restaurant is filled with natural light and is tastefully decorated.
I decided to have the breakfast buffet, which consisted of the following items:
Breads (English Muffins, Bagels, Toast, Croissant)
Assorted Pastries
Oatmeal
Assorted Cereals
Assorted Fresh Fruit (Pineapple, Raspberries, Blueberries, Melon, Oranges, Apples)
Assorted Cheese
Bacon
Sausage
French Toast
Breakfast Potatoes
Yoghurt
As well as a made to order Omelette Bar
I had a variety of these items which were all fresh. The Omelette Bar has a variety of standard toppings and was prepared for me quickly and delivered to my table.
The Hostess and my waiter were both very pleasant and attentive. My Orange Juice was refilled several times and I was also provided with a small berry smoothy.
I was also offered a newspaper and asked if I was staying at the hotel (which I wasn't).
Overall it was a pleasant experience that allowed me to have some personal time as well as a good meal.
Price wise, it's a Marriot, so expect to pay about $20 plus tip. A fair price given the location and quality of the food items offered.
