When it comes to restaurants within hotels, I am not usually a huge fan. Unless we are talking palace and hi end cuisine.
Somehow it is hard for me to judge the Renoir as I have only had a brunch there. But I must admit, what a brunch. This is probably one of the best brunch Montreal has. And if you still have room for desert, well they have the best "millefeuilles" you will ever encounter. And trust me as I am usually not a big fan of them.
You will find an array of amazing deserts, but not only as the buffet grants you the possibility of a healthy brunch as much as a decadent one.
So basically, if you are in need of a nice brunch, be assured that you have. A nice spot right here at the Renoir.
The only thing that could be improved is probably the setting of the restaurant. Indeed more than the setting, it's mainly the furniture that kind of makes me not over excited. This is true for not only for the Sofitel hotels, but for most hotels that tend to rely on furnitures that are really of average quality, and that brings a spirit of "cheapness" to the places. Unfortunately, over affordable solutions, often from China, seduces way to many hotels around the globe, and in the end it shows.
