We had a lovely simple brunch here. If you intend to have lunch it would be advisable to book in advance.

I ordered omelets here, & it took about 20 minutes to get the first one. The second omelet arrived another 15 minutes later. The service definitely needs improvement. Nothing stood out-coffee & croissant were just average.'

Very lovely little café, the decor is impeccable! The menu is only in French but they have wonderful bilingual service. We got sandwiches, the Greek salad, a cookie, & some iced drinks - the only complaint I can think of is that the drinks are quite watery, but the food was very good & more than made up for it. Overall a good café choice if you are looking for one.

The Latte is a favourite of mine & I have it each time I'm in Montreal. The food & baked goods are fantastic as well. The seating area is small but manageable.

What a hidden gem in downtown! It's a great place to eat or drink something, at whatever time of the day. The restaurant indeed has a portuguese / european vibe, & the variety of dishes is great.

The food was tasty & fresh. The drinks were ok. Also the service was kind & super quick.

Don't miss the opportunity to try this restaurant!
