De passage dans le quartier, nous avons été y mangé un dimanche & l'expérience aura été superbe !
J'ai pris le Burger Cordon bleu, & c'était une franche réussite. Un pain feuilleté, un cordon bleu gourmand fait maison, & des frites de patate douces, la combinaison du bonheur.
Le lieu est propre & bien décoré, on sent qu'un effort est fait sur la présentation des assiettes, & le personnel y est très agréable.
J'y suis allé pour l'anniversaire de ma copine & ça a été une expérience incroyable. Le service & la qualité de la nourriture est impeccable. On a pris un plat de chaque sections du menu & on a pas été déçu. Il faut absolument essayer le Burger Cordon Bleu, les Gaufres au Poulet & le Pain Perdu au Yuzu!! Merci à toute l'équipe & à Ludo le gérant pour cet accueil chaleureux. Ça a été un anniversaire très réussi & nous sommes tous tombé en amour avec l'endroit. J'ai hâte d'y retourner!!
Incroyable, tout simplement le brunch le plus délicieux de Montréal.
N'oubliez pas de prendre un pain perdu en dessert pour deux personnes, il est incroyable 🤩
L'attente pour les plats est un peu plus longue que dans un restaurant de brunch classique, mais qu'es que ça vaut le coup !
Note: make a reservation or expect to wait a while for brunch!
I ordered & loved:
- Bueno latte with oat milk was divine (crunchy nutella rim was a treat)
- Sausage Shakshuka with hummus & pita with a few olives (huge portion for one, every bite was unique & delectable; hummus was a bit thin compared to store-bought)
- Pain Perdu (I was already stuffed at this point but it was worth risking a stomach ache; great textural experience (crisp exterior & soft interior).
Cela faisait longtemps que je n avais pas mangé un aussi bon brunch à MTL
Les plats sont très copieux, gourmands, & la déco est canon!
Mention spéciale pour le pain perdu & le ube, j'ai adoré !
Bravo Ludo , je reviens vite pour tester le reste de la carte car on a clairement envie de tout prendre !
Their elevated brunch was so good!
I think next time I would try another eggs Benedict since I find the mushrooms didn't work as well with the sauce. But still overall very delicious.
What blew me away was the pain perdu (French toast). It's not too sweet, amazing flavours & textures & different temperatures with the ice cream. Would definitely go back to have that dish again!
This location takes reservations, making it not only delightful but also effortlessly accessible-a huge plus!
The vibrant ambiance & beautiful decor wowed us from the get-go. We began with the chakchouka merguez, a hearty & satisfying dish that stood beautifully on its own.
Next, we were captivated by the colourful waffle topped with succulent chicken. It was as visually stunning as it was delicious, with a very balanced touch of spice.
To drink, a remarkable tiramisu latte, basically a liquid dessert. The layers of coffee & cream were artfully blended in a decadently rich creation.
We also had the Ube latte, which was every bit as good as we expected it to be.
For dessert, the Yuzu Pain Perdu-an unforgettable creation that dazzled us with its intricate flavors. The combination of sweet & tangy yuzu was wonderful.
Every aspect of our brunch was a reminder of why we cherish this restaurant. With its creative dishes, decadent lattes, & irresistible desserts
J'ai d'abord découvert la succursale du plateau mont royal, & je dois dire que les plats servis dans la nouvelle succursale (St Laurent) sont tout aussi fabuleux ! Mon nouveau brunch préféré à Montréal 🥰
Leurs oeufs bénédictines sont incroyables
J'ai goûté le gaufre/poulet pour la première fois, WOW
Le pain perdu Yuzu est phénoménal 👌🏽🎉
