Went for a quiet & nice breakfast & that's what we got. The omlettes were fluffy & the fruits were fresh. The bread had the right amount of butter & was fried just right. The pistachio croissant & the natas were the right amount of sweet that we didn't know we craved in the morning. The staff were friendly & we also got a nice & cozy place to chat & have our breakfast.
Recommended if you are in the Montreal downtown area looking for some excellent breakfast joints.

Mediocre & over priced. The pastry (bread pudding) was inedibly sweet. Omelettes & coffee were ok. 75$ for two for breakfast after tip & an upsell on $12 glasses of OJ. Slow service.

We enjoyed a seat on a nice patio for more than half an hour before receiving our breakfast. Breakfast was ok but we were charged excessively for each item in the omelette & there was very little in the actual omelet.
