Came here on a recommendation but it is very mediocre. I do not speak French & I am a Canadian tourist.
The restaurant was understaffed. Extremely slow service. The server was very nice. The escargot was lukewarm warm & was extremely bland. Ontario has better escargot. The chicken was very mediocre, & tasted like a rotisserie chicken slathered in Campbell's cream of broccoli soup. The only good thing was the fancy drink. All in all, I do not recommend this place. I expressed the lack of flavour & the temperature issue the server, & essentially they advised that, this is how it's done in Montreal (i.e., it's the French way: appetizers are served cold & food tastes bland). I kindly said ok but ChatGPT says otherwise. Tourists trap with no quality - management needs to do better, chefs have no soul in their food. It's literally a prime tourist location, do better.
Server forgot to provide the complimentary bread to my table when I sat down.
Ambience is ok. Outside is nice but you're sitting in traffic. Inside is ok, nothing special. Windows are nice but also gives cafeteria vibes.
I recommend Holders Restaurant instead.View more

The breakfast was reasonably priced & very tasteful. The portion was also plentiful. This is coming from a guy who is used to eating from buffets for a vacation breakfast.
However, because our hotel's breakfast sucked, we went here.
The fruit was fresh & the environment was clean.
We got the two-eggs-your-way & it was amazing.
The drinks (smoothie,hot chocolate, coffee) were presented nicely.
I liked that the menu was short, nobody wants to read for breakfast.
The only gripe I have is that the bread should have come with butter without us asking, but that is a small gripe.
The jam was also slightly loose & unappetizing, but because the rest was so amazing , this place gets 5 stars.View more

I haven't even eaten yet but the hostess was a gem. My mom made a reservation to the wrong restaurant but she accommodated us anyways. I'm with my two elderly grandparents so it would have been a disaster.View more
