Barley - Bar à Céréales est reconnu comme une destination de choix pour le brunch à Montréal, appréciée pour son menu fusion moyen-oriental unique et ses plats visuellement attrayants tels que l'assiette halloumi, les œufs à la turque et les crêpes au matcha. Si de nombreux clients apprécient la qualité des saveurs et la possibilité de réserver, d'autres mentionnent des services inconstants, des temps d'attente importants lors des périodes d'affluence et un niveau sonore élevé qui nuit aux échanges. Les avis sur les cafés spécialisés sont partagés, certains trouvant les choix créatifs tandis que d'autres les jugent décevants ou peu mémorables. Malgré des commentaires mitigés sur le service et quelques irrégularités dans la préparation des plats, de nombreux visiteurs considèrent l'expérience comme délicieuse, bien que des habitués notent que la constance de l'établissement a fluctué au fil du temps.
Beautiful space & very friendly, accommodating servers! The food was nothing short of phenomenal! Our party got the Avocado Toast, Turkish Eggs, Halloumi Plate, & Chicken Waffles - we recommend every single one :)
The drinks were a bit underwhelming, unfortunately. They have a variety of specialty coffees, but the flavours of the Miso Caramel Latte & Almond Croissant Latte didn't stand out. I'd say it's best to save the money on drinks.
It can get quite busy, especially on weekends, so make plans to arrive early or make a reservation!
We were worried when we saw 3.9 stars… & I can't understand why that is the case. The food here AMAZINGGG here. The caramel miso iced latte? Incredible. The waffles? SO SOFT, anything with the pita bread is a MUST!!! Service was friendly & we walked in without a reservation. Overall such a great experience.
Beautiful place
Very respectful service
Fair price
Ordered Chicken+ Waffle. Chicken was very delicious, waffle was good, coleslaw on waffle doesn't match with the waffle & sauce & chicken. Often unpleasant taste.
Also ordered cereal latter, very delicious & tasty. I will try this again.

I ordered the turkish eggs & my partner ordered the chicken & waffles. Both meals were absolutely delicious & I would go back there again. This was my first time having turkish eggs & it was a pleasant experience & it was well balanced out with the bread. My only complaint about this place is that we waited a while at the entrance to be seated even though there was no one in front of us.
Chicken waffle (7/10): Good but was a bit too sweet
Matcha pancakes (5/10): You don't taste the matcha very much
Falafel eggs (8/10): Pretty good
Latte drinks (3/10): Got the sésame & miso Caramel but they're both very gimmicky & are nothing special, you can barely taste the specialty flavors
Their matcha drinks were sold out by the time we got there at 12pm. Would try that & the hallumi dish next time instead.
J'avais hâte d'essayer… mais ce n'est que tu hype. Le chicken waffle était tout sauf croustillant & la qualité laissait a désirer (surtout visuellement…)
Le service est fou fou l'ambiance non plus. Pour le prix, ça n'en vaut pas trop la peine.
We ordered falafel salad the $19 one & waffle with chicken & we had an offer for free dessert which we chose the matcha pan cakes.
We planned on ordering hazelnut latte but we were done before we reached that point.
Falafel eggs: I specifically asked wha is difference between the $19 falafel platter & $10 falafel egg I was told the platter is much more fulfilling & the description said it's felafel egg, falafel, salad & something else. Well it was just one eggs salad I paid $9 for just cut veggies. Just the egg was okay though
Chicken with waffle: that was okay it was good
Pancakes: we got burnt pancakes must taste good & that sauce is much thick see video
I know what this place can be but it's not there yet.. p.s I enjoyed it much better 2 years ago than now.
This place used to be amazing, the type of place you would want to gate keep. However, my last experience was very disappointing, the main issue was our server. She did not use a pen & a paper to note my order with my friends (we are three in total). Each time we order, whether drinks or food, the server would come back at least 3-4 times for each step of the service just to verify if she took the proper order.
1. My friend A ordered a matcha. She ordered 2 because she thought that my friend B wanted to order one of her suggestions.
2. My friend A & I ordered an appetizer to share. The server never ordered it. Finally we received our main meals, then that's the only moment when the server realized we never received our appetizer. It is notable that her excuse was:'The kitchen's receipts are currently not functioning, so I must write everything for them to do the orders. I forgot to write & send the appetizer.'
3. I said I was thinking of ordering something savoury as main. She suggested the chicken with a waffle. I ended up choosing the halloumi, but I received her suggestion instead.
4. It is important to also note that we were the first & only customers at that moment. It took at least 5-10 minutes for me to receive my cereal latte, which was the first order made, nothing else.
5. When we were about to pay, there were 3 bills in total. The server forgot to take off the appetizer we never received. When she took it off my bill, she never gave me the corrected copy. Instead, she gave me the old one, & simply applied my new balance in the payment terminal, as she said:'I remember the amount by heart.'
All of these back to back issues could have been minimized if the server had a pen & a paper in the first place. It was upsetting when it happened way too much. The only reason why we even tipped 15% was because the server seemed nice, & it's a restaurant I used to enjoy visiting. I hope such calamity wouldn't happen again, specially when there's only one table in the restaurant.
The food is not bad, but not great either. A friend & I had the chicken waffle & fatteh. We had also ordered a flat white & a matcha latte which only arrived while we were already halfway through our meal. It's a shame since the place & vibe is nice.
