Allegro

Mascouche

Breakfast Healthy Salads Sandwiches Pizza Café

Review Summary

Allegro is described as a welcoming, family-run spot with a cozy, charming atmosphere and food that feels both flavorful and comforting. Brunches are praised for generous portions that reinvent classics without losing their appeal, with eggs steamed to perfection and a variety of options that suit families and casual diners alike. The service is repeatedly noted as friendly, attentive, and efficient, contributing to an overall positive impression. Show nights add liveliness and good value, though some reviews point out that staff moving around and lighting can interrupt sightlines and the viewing experience; suggestions include handling service before the show or during an intermission to keep attention on the performance. The space is intimate and small, which enhances the ambiance but limits seating and means there are no banquettes. The menu is solid and appreciated for quality and creative twists, with some comments about portion size relative to other places, but the consistency in flavor and presentation remains a strong point.View restaurant profile

Service is described as professional and efficient when staff are available, but understaffing leaves a single overwhelmed employee and occasional lapses in cleanliness, such as hair in a smoothie and a floor that seems never washed.
