Petit Opus Cafe-Bar is described in the reviews as having a strong breakfast focus with generous portions and some standout dishes, especially the smoked salmon bagel. Service is described as friendly and attentive in places, but experiences vary with slow service and periods of being understaffed during busy times. Prices are noted as higher for the quality and less competitive than nearby options, which leads some diners to feel the value is not ideal. There are moments of maintenance or noise concerns such as hallway cleaning during arrivals, which some would prefer to schedule when the restaurant is closed. Despite the drawbacks, several reviews highlight a very enjoyable breakfast and a tendency to return, with the bagel dishes described as among the best. Overall the sentiment is mixed but leans positive with appreciation for food quality and a willingness to visit again while noting variability in service and value.View restaurant profile

Marché le Bled

Rosemont-La Petite-Patrie Villeray-Saint-Michel

Caribbean African Grill Rotisserie Snacks & Treats

Review Summary

Overall, Marché le Bled receives praise for excellent service and appetizing dishes such as dibi with atieke and well grilled meat. Ginger juice is described as good, but bottles show grease and hygiene concerns are raised, with requests to improve sanitation. Bottles of ginger juice are filled only to a limited level and this is disappointing given the price. Patrons express that paying fair prices is acceptable but a minimum standard should be met. In summary, the reviews point to strong service and tasty food alongside concerns about hygiene, bottle filling and value that could be improved.View restaurant profile
