Review Summary

Le Bénédictine 2.0 draws praise for generous portions and a menu that covers favorites from eggs Benedict to fruit-filled crepes, with friendly service and a breakfast experience that many call a solid value; at the same time some reviews note that prices have crept up and that the same dishes sometimes taste less flavorful than in the past, leading to disappointment. The size of portions is repeatedly mentioned, with some diners unable to finish their meals yet still enjoying the breadth of options for breakfast and beyond. There are also comments about inconsistent quality, including eggs that are overcooked, fruit that is not always ripe, and ham that does not meet expectations, along with concerns about upkeep in the ladies' washroom. Still, the overall impression is that the place remains a reliable choice for a casual lunch or dinner with pleasant service and a welcoming atmosphere.View restaurant profile

Comfort Food Sandwiches Poutine Breakfast Pastries

Review Summary

Overall, reviews of Resto du coin note that the food quality has dropped a little recently but remains good and cheap, with Slush available year round. The place is often busy, attracting many patrons described as older gents. Poutine is praised as tasty and well balanced, though not exceptional, with good potatoes, cheese and sauce. The hot dog is noted as very good. Pepper shakers were all taken on other tables, so pepper was not always available. For those passing through for work, a good poutine with well balanced components meets expectations. Choosing this spot over fast food chains is seen as more satisfying. Staff are consistently friendly and smiling, contributing to good service. Prices are very affordable and the food is described as excellent, though not haute cuisine; a casual snack place. Visits are described as a pleasure to make.View restaurant profile
