I just had a breakfast at cafeterra , it is a delightful brunch spot with a warm, modern vibe & beautifully crafted dishes that feel both comforting & elevated. The Norwegian breakfast was a standout, light, healthy , & perfectly balanced & the coffee was smooth & rich. Friendly service & thoughtful details made the whole experience feel special.
I highly recommend this place for a good brunch !
Cafeterra is the cutest classy place on Notre Dame. The food was amazing & the coffee was delicious. Great atmosphere & great service. I highly recommended.
This café in Montreal instantly won my heart. It's spotless clean, cozy, & filled with pleasant music that makes you want to stay longer. The staff are incredibly kind & welcoming, & the service is quick & efficient.
The coffee is truly amazing - rich, smooth, & comforting, just like at home. The food is fresh & delicious, especially the avocado toast with salmon & the almond croissant. Highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Montreal. & the nicest surprise of all - it's run by Ukrainians, which made the visit even more special. 💛💙
Wonderful cafe right next to downtown Montreal! It has a peaceful atmosphere & is always cozy, clean, & comfortable-perfect for spending time with friends. The menu is quite varied, with a great selection of coffee drinks. Whether you're stopping by in the morning or coming for lunch, it's a great spot.
My absolute favorite is the Norwegian breakfast with salmon, avocado, & scrambled eggs. If you're more into bacon & sausages, the Ukrainian breakfast would be a great match. The staff is always nice & helpful.
Highly recommend this place-have a great time while visiting Montreal!
Visiting from Toronto for the weekend & found this gem of a spot. Excellent, friendly staff & the breakfast hit the spot! Especially appreciated the staff accommodating my allergies & taking the time to check in with me while I was dining to make sure I was happy with my dish. This is customer service done right. Highly recommend!
I ordered the Vegetarian Avocado Toast & my husband ordered the Bagel with Smoked Samon, both items came with Salad. Both dishes were delicious. Highly recommend to try this cafe if you are in Montreal area.
