Overall, reviews describe Brulerie Aux Quatre Vents as a place with excellent coffee and tasty options, often found in a market setting where it can get crowded yet feels lively. The coffee is praised for being well roasted and flavorful, with some highlighting a magical double espresso and an iced mocha that balances espresso and chocolate; a fresh chicken wrap is mentioned as a welcome accompaniment. The staff is generally seen as friendly and helpful, with a standout example of going the extra mile to grind a large amount of espresso, though a few notes mention uneven service and a desire for more attention from some newer staff. On the downside, some decaf and other preparations fall short, with takeout coffee described as burnt or smoky and some mentions of unclear bean origin or selection. Hygiene concerns are raised by a reviewer who suggests better beard coverage or headwear as a sign of respect for customers. In sum, Brulerie Aux Quatre Vents is viewed as a strong coffee destination with character and loyal patrons, tempered by occasional quality, consistency, and service issues.View restaurant profile
Overall, patrons describe Memento Brasserie Artisanale as a lively canal-adjacent venue with a broad craft beer selection, creative brews, and a warm, multi-zone atmosphere that suits groups, dates, and casual hangouts. The space is praised for its decor and the assortment of games—ping pong, darts, arcade machines, and board games—that are often free to play, contributing to a sociable vibe. Food and drink receive mixed notes: many enjoy burgers, poutine, borscht, hummus, grilled cheese, and a variety of beers, while others find portions small for the price or experience occasional delays during peak times, with a few complaints about the noise level and service during private events. The staff is repeatedly highlighted as friendly and accommodating, though some reviews point to inconsistency and communication issues when the venue is busy or rented for events. The location by the canal and the emphasis on fun activities remain key positives, with a call for more vegan options and steadier table service.View restaurant profile
