Amazing brunch meals served here! We especially loved the Salmon Waffle & Sausage Sandwich! Would love to come back again for those dishes & to try out more!
For treats, matcha pistachio cookies are delicious! The service was excellent & the Ricardo Boutique store is right beside.
Food is fantastic, cute restaurant. I love that you can go browse the boutique while waiting for your food. Twice we went & had an older lady with short grey hair as our server. She is so unfriendly. She's bossy & mean & controlling. She doesn't smile & is overall very unpleasant. Every other worker is great, accommodating & friendly. At first I thought maybe she was just being rude to me because I am English speaking but all my quebecer family with me said she was very rude to them as well. Telling us how far our seats needed to be tucked in & pushing our chairs closer to the table. & when we went in the winter she tried to force us to hang up our jackets in the hallway when every other table had their jackets on the backs of their chairs. Many of us had our wallets in our jacketd & didnt bring purses so we a few kept their jackets on their chair. I hate confrontation so i just hung mine up in the hallway to not cause a fuss. Another thing is they try to squeeze in as many tables as possible but the space is small which makes it very hard for the servers & customers to move around. Over all I will keep going because the brunch is fantastic but the server really shouldny be in costumer service. She obviously doesn't like people. Might be time to retire.
Il faut réserver, car petit, mais c'est délicieux, frais & servi avec tellement de gentillesse! Gardez votre reçu du resto pour avoir un rabais à la boutique adjacente!
Une des pires expériences dans un restaurant & pourtant j'y vais très souvent. Trois personnes à une table de deux où la troisième personne doit être dans le passage pour se rendre à la boutique. Café Ricardo était un de mes restos préférés mais PLUS JAMAIS....
Au terme d'une semaine remplie se terminant par un r.v. à Montréal, de retour vers la rive-sud nous nous réjouissions à l'avance d'aller goûter aux nouveaux plats de l'automne, faisant délibérément abstraction du niveau sonore généralement élevé, qui risquait de l'être au maximum à midi un vendredi.
Or ce jour-là, puisque nous avons attendu notre plat 40 minutes montre en mains, nous avons eu tout le loisir d'expérimenter un niveau insupportablement élevé, avec comme conséquence que nous ne goûtions plus les plats appétissants finalement arrivés mais avions une seule envie: sortir au plus vite. Pas de dessert ni de café pour nous :( & surtout, la ferme décision de ne plus revenir. Pourtant, selon mon mari, architecte de formation, de simples mesure d'atténuation sont à la portée de tout exploitant consciencieux, soit entre autres de bons panneaux d'absorption sonore disposés à la fois verticalement & horizontalement.
Je demeure abonnée à la revue & continuerai de fréquenter la boutique.
Luncher au Café Ricardo fut un vrai bonheur! Tout était magnifique, plats superbes & savoureux! Nous avons ensuite "magasiné" à la boutique où nous avons fait des folies! Bref notre passage au Café Ricardo nous a procuré un bonheur fou!
