I was searching for a place near my hotel for breakfast food, and wow! Does Allo Mon Coco fit the bill!!!
I did not have a negative experience here, as some seem have had. However, I could see how some may view service as being a little "slow". But I would not characterize it as slow. The servers are all very good, and they are very sensitive to what you are doing as they pass by your table. I noticed that they did not interrupt conversations, or if someone was doing something on a computer or tablet, the server came back when the time looked like it would not be an interference. So, my water and coffee cups did go empty for a couple minutes, but everything was simply leisurely. So, I would say, that if you are looking for "fast" food, this is not your place.
This place IS, however; a place you go to enjoy your food. Every single bit of it. The portions are large, and all of it seems very fresh. If breakfast food is your favorite food, the menu will cause you to have an anxiety attack because it is a fantastic selection. I am a "traditional" breakfast kind of guy, but their creativity made it easy to try something I may not have tried back home in the States. And I am glad that I did.
I only give a 5 star when I cannot think of even one minor complaint.
I now have the food trifecta here in Montreal. Where I will be spending quite bit of time for work. I have a favorite dinner spot, last week I found my lunch spot; and today, I found my favorite breakfast spot.
The location is one street off of Saint Catherine, so it is easy to get there. It is a somewhat non-descript building. So look for the sign.
You will be glad that you did.
