Came here for lunch & really enjoyed it. Got the smoked salmon croissant & wife got the avocado toast. We both loved it & the side potatoes are great as well! Great stop for lunch in old town.

Small & very pleasant place, with music ambient the food was fresh & delicious. Go for the Avocato Salmon Toast. It was fresh & big portion. Thank you very much for the simple lovely ambient & great food.
The food was excellent! Sandwiches & traditional breakfast. Salmon looked great & I enjoyed the Ukrainian sausage 🙂 Tables are ideal for 2 or 4 but they accommodated us as 6 & we still had space. Good coffee too.
Stopped in for breakfast…My husband had the salmon avocado toast & I had a cappuccino, with a delicious almond croissant! Wow! What a treat! We loved every delicious bite!!
Delicious lunch! We had a bagel with smoked salmon & salad, chicken sandwich with salad, & a smoked salmon salad. Not a large lunch, but the perfect filling amount to be able to walk around the city after. Great calm modern ambiance, & am loving the black ceiling so much that I am considering doing this in my flat!
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!
Really great meal. We came at peak hours & the staff were under a lot of stress due to number of clients yet they remained extremely professional even when faced with some Karen customers. The food & lattes are amazing. Our favourite was the smoked salmon croissant. They speak both English & French very well. Music is soft in the background & not distracting. The decorations are beautiful.
We came here during a conference & had a great experience. Everything is made to order, tasty, & artfully presented. We especially liked the salmon avocado toast. When friends came to visit us here a few days later this is where we brought them for brunch.
Everything was amazing! We had the avocado toast with an omelette, the salmon bagels, & some coffees. The staff were friendly, kind, & knowledgeable answering my groups many questions. The ambiance in this place is lovely too, so cozy! Will definitely be back.

Very quiet spot for a breakfast or brunch. The order taking lady was very rude & dismissive when I was trying to look at the menu as it was my first time here. A small smile can go a long way.
The food was great though I had the salmon on avocado toast which comes with a spring salad. Kind of overpriced imo but still worth trying
Delicious food, amazing & very helpfull staff! We tried the chicken sandwich & the salmon bagel & lived both but i have to day the salmon was a bit better. The mochaccino was also very good.
For students, the place is very cozy & comfortable to study & not to crowded.
Great experience, very chill atmosphere , service was great & food was delicious as well as the Americano. We had the avocado toast with salmon & added two sunny side eggs , which came with a savory hollandaise. Try it for sure 🤩🤩🤩🤩
First brunch in Montreal & so happy we came here! The food was so delicious. We ordered Norwegian breakfast, raspberry danish, avocado toast, salmon croissant & penne pasta. Everything was phenomenal! Would highly highly recommend this place! The seating is limited & usually full so may need to wait a bit I guess.
Great atmosphere, prompt & friendly service, & the food was absolutely delicious. Perfectly cooked pasta, savory salmon - quantity & quality for a great price!
