I got the koukou chicken sandwich.
It was delicious but impossible to eat, just looking at it, I thought I was gonna break my jaw 😅. Perhaps take the same quantity & just make it more flat (ie. Bigger in width than height).
Also, I think you should have an option for tea or drink with the meal that is reasonably priced. (Ex: 5$ cup of tea if purchased with a meal). The only option available was a pot of tea 10$ & all other tea drinks >9$.
Thank you.

Chicken koukou sandwich + saffron cake were both insanely fresh & tasty. Also excellent atmosphere & staff. Run, don't walk, to this place.

I ordered dessert & tea, but both were average. The portions felt especially small. At these prices, you expect something more filling & higher quality. The décor of the place is nice, but it's not worth coming just for that. Overall, it wasn't a satisfying experience.

Our friends from Ottawa recommended this café to us, & when we came to Montreal, we had to visit. The moment we walked in, we were charmed by how warm & cozy it felt , almost like stepping into a grandmother's home. Everything had a nostalgic touch, especially the sholeh zard I tried , it tasted just like my grandmother's. We truly enjoyed every moment & can't wait to come back!

I was not really happy with the experience. Since there was no table service & the seating area was quite tightly arranged, it was uncomfortable to leave the table & go back to the counter if needed. Normally when I go out for breakfast, I look for a special & memorable taste experience, but unfortunately the food felt quite ordinary.
