We arrived when the place was mostly empty, which is good since it seats maybe 25 people. Sitting at the bar, we spent a few minutes spinning around in our stools, looking at the decor and watching the cooks just behind the counter making food for the couple next to us. As they slid two beautiful plates of colorful food across to the couple, I realized this would probably be a great meal.\n\nMom ordered the the huevos rancheros, my sister the french toast, and I the eggs benedict. Everything took maybe 8 minutes to prepare, while we sat drinking tea and coffee. The tea water was brought in individual tea pots, and a selection of tea bags placed in front of us. The tea mixed with the amazing smell of the food next to us and our own being prepared had me nearly salivating by the time our food was ready. As it was being put down, I noticed I had also received huevos rancheros. I mentioned it to the waitress, acknowledging that I might have misspoken, and she offered to make me the eggs benedict as well. That seemed excessive, so instead she had a small plate made so I could get the taste without the full order.\n\nIn a word; incredible. The huevos rancheros were soft and flavorful, the pico di gallo and salsa creating a delicious blend with the mashed chorizo hidden underneath it all. The french toast (we were sharing, of course) was sweet without being excessive, and the syrup and fruit tasted amazing. And the mini-benedict they made for me in five minutes (and presented with a smiled apology that was unneeded, but a point in their favor) was the best eggs benedict I've ever eaten. I'm not sure what their hollendaise recipe was, but I want it.\n\nEach plate also came with two small patties of potato mixed with, to quote, \"ham, bacon, sausage, chive, pepper, and a ton of other great stuff). They're a bite or two apiece, and I would have happily paid for a plate of them as an appetizer.\n\nThe food, decor, and friendly waitstaff, not to mention the great prices, make this my first 5-star review in Montreal! They open a little too late for me to grab breakfast on weekdays, but I'll be looking forward to Jambon the next time I have a weekend in Old Montreal!"^^ . "0"^^ .
