Despite an initial launch rush and some wait times, customers view it as a strong value, citing huge bowls of beef rib pho and other flavorful options that are easy to take home. Some dishes receive mixed notes, such as bun bo hue that is delicious but very salty and beef rib pho that is rich with a fatty broth, but overall the portions are large and prices affordable. Promotions such as buy one get one free are mentioned, and the restaurant is seen as a welcome West Island addition with potential for a spring and summer terrace with views. Overall, diners agree I AM PHO provides a reliable pho option with a variety of choices and room to grow.View restaurant profile

Première Moisson

Bakery Pastries Desserts & Sweets Sandwiches Salads

(72)

Downtown

Review Summary

Reviews describe Première Moisson as a solid, unpretentious bakery and patisserie with a broad range of fresh offerings from almond croissants and breads to pastries, sandwiches and cheeses, making it a convenient stop for a quick coffee or a sweet pause, especially for travelers arriving by train. The almond croissant is frequently praised, and chocolate hazelnut cakes or other desserts like "O lala au chocolat" are noted as tasty treats. However, experiences are mixed with reports of rude or slow service, particularly in the evening, long waits, or items arriving cold, and a tendency for older stock to be sold first at times; the payment terminal can feel odd and the place can get crowded. Overall, Première Moisson is seen as a reliable, varied option with many flavorful choices and solid quality that shines on certain items, even if inconsistencies prevent it from being a definite standout.View restaurant profile
