We were looking for a quick and affordable brunch spot, a change of pace from Eggspectation. Gauffre Mignonne was close to our hotel, so we TRIED to make it happen. Walked through the door, and literally stood, waiting to be seated for several minutes, having the 2 floor staff workers walk DIRECTLY in front and past us several times without even the simplest of greetings. While standing, we attempted to read the menu which didn't afford an English translation. After about 6 minutes, one of the workers finally offered an uninspired 'Hello'. We asked for a table for two. He told us to wait, he quickly wiped and cleared off a table, and then promptly went back to ignoring us. He did not offer us to be seated, not a menu, nothing. We seated ourselves, and waited...again. After another several minutes, still nothing. We then agreed to gather our things and leave without a second thought.
For a place this small, they cannot afford to have horrible customer service. Only restaurant/cafe in Montreal we have experienced this.
