We had a delicious meal in the very eclectic & atmospheric restaurant. We enjoyed our roasted veggie & turkey sandwiches, paired with a milkshake & smoothie. A great spot located a stone's throw from the museum.

Visted as a family of four late morning, found via Google maps on a stroll Montreal. Positioned along a main road, down some stairs - sign posted really well. Iranian tea, lunch, & breakfast options available would highly recommend the breakfast menu available till 2pm. Service was ok, wasn't greated on arrival & found our own table, plenty of space at the back of the place too. Homemade lemonade would highly recommend. The bread tasted really fresh & was great. The sandwiches were really good value for money & really big! Could of shared one between two of us if we weren't really hungry! Omelettes came out in beautifully presented dishes & tasted really good. The decor inside was great- would definitely visit again!

I was there last Sunday for the first time. The service is really bad! Nobody comes to see you at the door & there is no sign that says "you can sit anywhere " Not only They charged extra for more bread but it took them forever to actually bring it to the table, we had to go see them twice!! & also charging Tip ahead of providing service is not acceptable because given my experience I would have not left a tip!! It is not just about the food, Service is more important!!!

J'adore ce café & son ambiance, la déco intérieure est vraiment très belle. Je recommande le sandwich falafel qui est vraiment succulent, même si un peu cher. C'est parfois un peu rempli, mais une place se libère toujours rapidement.

The food was fresh, simple & not overly greasy or oily. You have to order & pay at the register before sitting down & getting your food which I thought was convenient so you don't wait on someone to attend to you as often. It had a good, chill vibe inside. I would go back to try the pastries as well since they looked really good & we had a great first experience.
