Really enjoyed brunch on the patio here. The place is stylish and classy, with all white decor and interesting design. Even the flatware and dishes are cool. The unisex bathrooms are definitely worth checking out -- feels like a club in there:P
The patio is small, but on this particular Sunday it wasn't too crowded (we went around 11am). It's mostly covered, so you get the nice open-air feel without boiling in the sun.
The espresso is excellent and while you are waiting, they bring Carrs crackers with brie and pate. I had "Les English" - which came with a omelette with ratatoille (you could choose plain, cheese, or vegetable ratatoille), hash browns, sausage AND bacon, toast, and a fruit cup. It was a lot of food! The omelette was great - the eggs were light and fluffy. Everything was good, except the fruit cup was that kind that comes in syrupy water and was not very fresh. Friends had the eggs benny, which looked a-mazing and Le Nordique (fish, potato, smokes salmon pattie, sort of like latkes).
Service was very relaxed and warm. Kudos to our waitress for switching back and forth from English and French seamlessly and without attitude (half our table was Francophone, half Anglophone). I would come back here again for brunch, or maybe cocktails, next time I am in Montreal and in this neighbourhood.
