Bloomfield reads as a cozy, flower-filled brunch spot with a colorful Mediterranean-inspired menu and friendly, attentive service. The space is intimate and often busy, so arriving with a reservation is wise on weekends, but the charming decor and warm, neighborhood vibe keep it inviting. Dishes receive broad praise for freshness and presentation, with standouts like Palestinian eggs, the Jerusalem platter, avocado toast, and a pistachio latte; portions are generally generous, though some guests feel prices run high for the amount, and desserts like pudding chomeur are praised by some. Occasional inconsistencies appear, such as uneven seasoning or underwhelming coffee, and a few reviews mention the space can feel cramped and noisy. Yet many say the staff go above and beyond, and the overall experience is memorable thanks to welcoming service and a lively atmosphere. The terrace in warm months adds to the appeal, making Bloomfield a worthwhile spot for trying inventive brunch options and enjoying a bright, inviting setting.
For how busy it was & usually is on a Friday, your restaurant was severely understaffed. It took 4 reminders & 1.5 hours before we got just some simple water at our table, & the food came about an hour after that. It's completely unacceptable. When I first found the restaurant, it gave me high hopes for a pleasant experience based on my first visit just stumbling upon it, as well as the online reviews & menu... but not only did it not meet those expectations, it was by far the worst restaurant experience I've had in months. We were starving & hangry, & by the time the food came it was cold & such a small unbalanced portion that I couldn't even finish eating it... I got the OEUFS À LA TURQUE.. gorgeous presentation, the eggs tasted good despite being cold.. but it was a small plate of two pieces of toast & 2 eggs on a cold yoghurt soup, for about $30... I was so confused & disappointed. & I don't believe it's the server's fault - there were only 2 of them waiting on at least 6 tables each, just trying to keep up... so disappointing. Needless to say, I don't plan on returning or recommending to friends.

Excellent petit restaurant chaleureux! Par contre se réserver le droit de charger 25$ par personne pour toute annulation en dedans de 24h est un peu abusif. Je pourrais le comprendre dans le cas d'un « no show ». Trop de gens n'ont plus de savoir vivre & ne prennent pas la peine d'annuler s'ils changent leurs plans. Par contre pour une annulation plusieurs heures à l'avance, je trouve cela déraisonnable. Par chance, ça n'a pas été notre cas.
Very good serivice, the attention to detail in each dish, the plates use, the mix of flavours, & the sheer variety of food from various middle Eastern flavors, including faulous dessert makes this a memorable experience. I will go back!!
Cute restaurant in Outremont, food is fine but very overpriced for the value you receive. The staff is not well trained, & sometimes speak either French or English, that makes some mistakes on the menu order. Coffee is very bof, orange juice is almost 6$.. you can try the Turkish eggs to taste an original brunch, 🍳
I was disappointed to be seated in a dark corner in the back even though I had made reservations. I will know to specify next time. The food was very interesting, fresh & delicious. The pita however was hard & dry. The service was friendly & quick which is always very much appreciated. I would definitely go back but would request one of the lovely seats by the window.
