Café Breakfast Crêpes Seafood/Fish

Mentioned in: Affordable Breakfasts in Montreal: Where to Eat Without Breaking the Bank

Review Summary

Overall, Café Passion is described as a warm, welcoming spot with a classic French interior and a cozy vibe that makes it nice for brunch, coffee, or catching up with friends; staff are generally friendly and attentive, and many meals are praised for freshness and flavor, from croque monsieur to eggs Benedict and simple lunches with good coffee, while live jazz on Thursday evenings and the terrace add a special touch.

Café Ice Cream Desserts & Sweets Sandwiches Pastries Italian

Review Summary

Reviews of Épicerie Alimentari Sud show a mixed picture: some customers praise delicious paninis, burrata when included, excellent bread, and a wide array of Italian cookies and chips, while others report frequent stockouts of pizza sauce in this small Italian specialty shop and occasional service lapses, including forgetting items in orders and discrepancies between online hours and actual closing times. The space is described as a bit off the beaten path and charming, with great sandwich options like the Bomba and a prosciutto sandwich and friendly staff, though prices can feel slightly high. Some readers question being an epicerie in name given the emphasis on prepared foods, and say they would not return for Italian products if stock and accuracy do not improve. Overall, Épicerie Alimentari Sud comes across as a place with potential, delivering flavorful hits when items are available, and a mix of misses that affects consistency.View restaurant profile
