I got the salmon Benedict which was bland & they cut the portion of their potatoes by a third. The coffee tasted like water. Their quality definitely went downhill. & their prices are very high for such a low quality place.View more
We came to this resto for the 1st time, considering my friend who told me many times the Alo mon Coco is very good. Unfortunately, the way is inside was not liked at all, need redesigned, looks like a very cheap casse-croute, service not very good, i needed to go to the kitchen to ask again for napkins. The noise was more that we could handle, even we know this is not controlable by the resto. Wanted to compare with the other two restos where we go to eat breakfast, & this for sure will not be added to the list. The food was not the best, normal, but i cannot say that we were disappointed, i did not like the potatoes mon coco, i did not know theere are smached potatoes. The smoothies were good, even i think they add sirop, end is not normal, if you like something natural. Overall 3 stars for food, the rest was disappointment.View more
When this place has just opened, food were served nicely. Waiters & waiteresses were very kind & polite. But overtime my partner & my family noticed a huge difference on the service especially the plates. Try coming early in the morning between 6 to 8am.. the mashed potatoes are a bright yellow. Try coming in around 11 onwards.. it looked overcooked.. idk if it's from constant reheating or over exposure of food. & not just that, the potatoes has some mixture of bacon in it. I would like to think that it's a clear cross contamination of food in the kitchen but hey, God knows. Moving on, the service also became fickle. The utensils even coffee mugs have some sip marks. I was so disgusted. Like how do you clean your plates & all that? Do you just rinse them in water & not actually use a soap? idk. i stopped going to this place because of these issues. My food served cold. Potatoes with bacon or sausage bits in it.. sip marks on my mug & some stains on the knife & spoon. Ugh.
By far the best breakfast in the west island. Amazing food, portions are huge, great home made style potatoes & exotic fruit plates. Try the cheese on the potatoes! The Rockyfeller Benedict is my favourite. Go early on the weekends to avoid the line up. Great decor.
We recently tried this new breakfast restaurant & were impressed with the clean, bright & bold surroundings. The service was very friendly & fast. The food was well prepared & beautifully presented. I chose one of their eggs benedict plates & like the majority of restaurants, the hollandaise sauce was a little weak in the butter department. It was refreshing to have GOOD COFFEE, which strangely seems to be a rarity in Montreal breakfast restaurants.
However....
After choosing our meals, the waitress pleasantly asked if I would like cheddar cheese, swiss cheese or both on my potatoes.... I thought wow, that's a nice idea, & chose the cheddar.... if I had known I was going to be charged an additional $2.50 for some melted cheese mixed in to my potatoes (hardly tasted any cheese at all), I would have definitely refused. Although I understand you get what you pay for....I still find over $40 for breakfasr for 2 a little high.
All in all a pleasant experience if you disregard the surprise surcharges, & I would definitely recommend this restaurant.
UPDATE:
Unfortunately like many restaurants that become popular quickly, the quality & consistancy start to suffer. The last 2 visits will probably be my last. Food was served cold (undercooked & cold bacon & cold slimy eggs). Noisy, slow service, packed & food is just average (when it's cooked) & expensive when compared to other breakfast spots in & around Montreal.
