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.
Unfortunately, our experience at this restaurant was extremely disappointing from start to finish.
My wife & I had a reservation for 12:00 PM & arrived at 12:10 PM. The restaurant clearly states that reservations have a 15-minute grace period before the table may be given away. Since we arrived within that grace period, we were shocked when the hostess informed us that our table had already been given to a walk-in customer because we were'late.' When we politely expressed our frustration & pointed out that we were still within the restaurant's stated policy, the hostess became defensive & dismissive rather than acknowledging the mistake.
To make matters worse, we were then asked to wait an additional 15 minutes, despite there being an empty table available when we arrived.
Once seated, the service continued to be poor. It took approximately 20 minutes before our server came to take our order. After ordering, we waited 45-50 minutes for our food. During that time, multiple customers who were seated after us, & were being served by the same waiter, received their meals well before we did.
When our food finally arrived, our server didn't even bring it to the table himself. Throughout the meal, he never checked on us, never asked if everything was good, & generally ignored us. We noticed that other tables received much more attentive service, including follow-up to ensure everything was going well.
The overall impression was that we were unwelcome from the moment we walked in. What made the experience even more frustrating was the apparent expectation of a generous tip despite the lack of basic customer service. Tips are earned through good service, & unfortunately, the service we received fell far below average.
Mistakes can happen in any restaurant, but what matters is how staff handle them. In this case, there was no accountability, no effort to correct the situation, & no concern shown for the customer experience. We left feeling frustrated, disrespected, & unlikely to return.
Showed up on monday at 11am, door is locked, it's closed. Google says it's open, their own schedule on their front door says they are open on mondays. Turns out you have to check their instagram to realize they are open Wednesday to sunday only.
Très beau café, cuisine délicieuse & service impeccable. Je le recommande sans hésiter, pour une belle expérience différente du classique deux oeufs bacon.
Amazing brunch spot!! We loved the Matcha pancakes & the halloumi plate. We also ordered the specialty coffees, which were great!
Overall, loved the food & coffee here & will definitely be back.
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.
