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.

In sum, Café Passion feels like a Saint Lambert staple that can offer a pleasant, relaxing break and solid eats, but improvements in consistency and maintenance would elevate it further.View restaurant profile

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.
