Barley - Bar à Céréales comes across as a stylish, cozy brunch spot that many guests praise for the vibrant atmosphere, friendly service, and a strong Middle Eastern fusion menu with a playful cereal bar. Reservations are often advised as the place tends to be busy. The food draws praise for balance and creativity, with highlights like the full mezze, halloumi plate, Turkish eggs, and creme brulee French toast, while some diners find the pancakes at times gummy or portions not matching the price. Drinks are enjoyed by many, but some experiences include drinks arriving cold or the matcha latte lacking extra matcha. Noise levels can be high and service can feel slow or inconsistent during peak hours, though staff are generally friendly and attentive. Overall, the experience remains appealing for flavors and vibe, and the concept of mixing cereals adds a fun, repeatable draw.
Gonna be very neutral on this review as it was so-so for everything. Food was okay, but def not worth the price (took the croissant sandwich). Service was good, & they had nice music playing. Nothing too crazy, but it was a nice discovery
nous étions un groupe avec un menu fixe. la nourriture était pas mal, gravlax un peu ordinaire pour le peu de saumon servit. les facture de groupe sont chargés avec le pourboire (20%), je suis serveuse alors j'ai toujours l'habitude de laisser un bon pourboire, mais si 20% est chargé je m'attends à un service extraordinaire. le serveur clairement pas débordé était très pressé d'expliquer le déroulement, n'a pas donné les options de boissons offertes & nous avons dû demander pour de l'eau avant qu'il remplace la carafe. ordinaire de charger aussi élevé si le service n'est pas à un certain niveau
Le bar à céréal.. je me questionne encore sur le nom du resto le lien avec le menu/concept. Le menu n'offre qu'une seule option contenant des céréales. Bref, clairement pour moi le concept n'est pas exploité à sa juste valeur. Le service était ok. L'assiette halloumi était ordinaire. L'assiette de pancake au matcha par contre était bien balancé avec le chocolat blanc & les fruits. Le chai latté par contre était excellent !
I had book a reservation for 145pm. Showed up early & they made place for us. I had the croissant sandwich & it was amazing, just wish it was little bigger lol. Food is fresh & very delicious!
Thank you Sabrina for making our first (but not last) brunch experience so special. Food was fresh, top notch & absolutely flavourful all around 👌 😋 🙌 👍 See you soon!

This restaurant is great for brunch. However for me it felt too cramped & very loud I could barely hear my friends right next to me. The food was good not much to write home about & the drinks were ok. The menu does have a lot to offer & probably has better quality but as for what I ate It wasn't a dish I'd go back for.
Cute spot for breakfast! The food was delicious but a little bit on the pricier side for brunch, but that's the vibe of the place. Was really busy on a Sunday morning but only had to wait about 20 minutes.
I got the chicken waffles & they were amazing. The waitress was lovely & super friendly. The music was a bit loud which definitely, as one of the older customers in the building at the time we went, makes me feel old to say.
