Incroyable brunch avec des recettes classiques revisitées (ex: oeufs Bénédictes jambon/asperge, saumon ou croque madame) & coup de coeur pour les OEufs Beurre Noisette Saumon & les croquettes d'Aubergine 🥰 Je recommande ++ !
Heard a lot of buzz about this place, so I finally went for brunch one afternoon. The seating is a little cramped & not ideal for kids, if you ask me. I always like places with a small menu, so they can nail everything they make. The food was alright, & the drinks looked cool. We got a bunch of drinks, & they all tasted pretty unique, which was a surprise. The fried chicken was a bit overcooked & the meat on the eggs benedict was a bit dry, but not deal breakers. It's worth checking out if you're in the area, but there are some other good spots around there too. P.S.: Expect to stand in line for a bit to get in if you cannot make it the first hour of when it opens.
Nous avons testé les oeufs Bénédicte au jambon de parme & ceux au saumon ainsi que les croquettes d'aubergine. C'était vraiment bon & ça changeait légèrement des brunchs classiques. Les lattes pistache & spéculos étaient très jolis mais moins marquants. Les mimosas auraient pu être légèrement plus frais. Nous y sommes allés un dimanche vers 14h & il n'y avait pas de queue ce qui était appréciable!

The french toast was out of this world! The salmon egg benedict was a bit too salty.
I would come back just for the french toast honestly.
The service was okay, not the best, & I feel like ice in water should be custom, especially in the summer.
The biscoff latte was delicious, although not really strong in coffee.
Overall nice experience, i would need to try other stuff on their menu to see if this place is overrated.
One thing for sure is it is kind of expensive, but brunch in mtl usually is.
Customer service wasn't good. So, I know there were two servers & I am understanding of that but it was disappointing that me & my friend's food sat in the window for 10 minutes & our Benedicts were both cold. The window filled up so much that the cook had to yell at her to clear the space. I just feel that for 25$ to get a cold Benedict is annoying. At least the food was really good!
En résumé: DÉLICIEUX, copieux, mais longue attente (1h)
Je suis arrivée vers 13h15 & nous sommes rentrés à 14h20. Il faut définitivement être armé d'un bon livre ou de bons amis hihi. Je pense que si vous arrivez avant c'est moins pire.
En terme de boisson, c'est incroyable. Je recommande vraiment les gourmands. Pour 2$ de plus, ça vaut vraiment la peine.
Je recommande vivement l'oeuf bénédictine brisket & champignons ainsi que la chakshouka merguez.
Mon nouveau spot de brunch préféré! Le repas était succulent! Des portions généreuses & une bonne atmosphère! Le serveur, je pense qu'il s'appelle Alex, a été très gentil & agréable. J'ai pris des oeufs bénédictines saumon & avocat avec un latté tiramisu. Mon mari a pris les gaufres avec poulet. Tout était délicieux & savoureux. J'ai hâte d'y retourner essayer le reste du menu.
Best Brunch spot I've been to. Alex was phenomenal at helping us decide what to order. Thank you for the amazing service & the delicious benedicts, coffee, & pain perdue 😍
Their Egg Benedicts are so good (tried Salmon, brisket & sausage - & the brisket was so far the best!!), the sauce, the kick, the presentation... everything very original! Love their fat ass coffees too, Tiramisu latte is my fav. The only downside is the wait time, if you wanna avoid lines & the orders getting delayed, go before 9:30 AM especially for weekends.
Absolutely delicious!!! The pistachio latte is a must! Still dreaming about it. Our order was as followed: a lavender matcha & pistachio latte, for food we got the mushroom truffle eggs benedict & the pain perdu yuzu!
