Tutti Frutti Dejeuners draws mixed reviews with many praising a large menu with varied plates and seasonal additions, reasonable prices, a roomy space, and service that can be fast and friendly, especially for groups; some guests say the coffee is refilled promptly and the brunch can be enjoyable enough to return. Yet several visitors report bland tasting food, eggs that are overcooked, pancakes burnt, and meals that feel reheated or overdone, along with service that feels rushed, servers who seem pressed, and little follow up after ordering as well as the bill arriving quickly. The venue is described as noisy and, in some comments, floors not clean. Overall, experiences range from disappointing to satisfying, with many indicating they would return for the brunch despite flaws and others deciding not to come back.View restaurant profile
Fromagerie Victoria receives overall positive impressions for a clean, welcoming setting, friendly staff, and speedy service that often comes with a smile, with many reviewers praising the breakfast experience and noting good value for the portion sizes, sometimes including coffee or another drink. The ambiance and family friendly vibe are frequently highlighted, along with fresh daily cheeses that add to the appeal. On the menu, opinions are mixed about poutine and comfort foods: several diners enjoy the items and consider them solid or excellent, while others find the poutine too sauce heavy, the fries tasting frozen, or the cheese portion not ideal, and a few notes mention the tables not always being perfectly clean. There are occasional disappointments such as a club sandwich with mechanically reassembled chicken and inconsistent ice cream quality in a few visits. Nevertheless, the overall picture is of a pleasant, casual spot worth trying, especially for a casual lunch or breakfast with a warm, friendly atmosphere and reliable menu staples.View restaurant profile
