Malgré les excellents avis, nous avons choisi cet endroit pour le brunch & malheureusement, nous avons été déçus car la nourriture était très ordinaire & ne justifiait pas du tout les prix élevés.
La portion était très petite & le service maladroit ; par exemple, il n'y avait ni sel ni poivre sur la table, ni serviettes en papier.
La quantité de nourriture était si faible qu'une demi-heure plus tard, nous avions de nouveau faim.
Je ne reviendrai certainement pas.

I visited this cafe for a small bite during my short visit to Montreal. I ordered a grill chicken sandwich & a Cappuccino. Both were just excellent & the service was top notch & very cordial atmosphere. I definitely recommend this cafe for every visit.
It's a casual café, but be aware that laptops are not allowed. This wasn't mentioned anywhere in the listing, so I arrived, ordered, & only then the staff informed me that laptops are not permitted.
Incredible! Wonderful team, friendly customer service & most importantly ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS FOOD & DRINKS.
They definitely know what they are doing! Highly recommend. Also the space itself is beautiful & cozy. The best coffee shop & brunch spot in old Montreal for sure.
Stumbled into the most incredible Ukrainian breakfast spot in Old Montreal completely by accident & what luck that was. The food was absolutely outstanding: authentic, beautifully presented, & full of flavor. Every detail, from quality to appearance, was perfect. Even more impressive was the warm & attentive service something that feels rare to find in Canada. Traveling from Miami, I did not expect to discover one of the best foods here in our trip to Montreal. A true hidden gem.
Amazing place with a very delicious food & grateful portions for a very reasonable prices. It's a perfect spot to sit & enjoy your meal in a relaxed atmosphere. Also I'd recommend to try their mini cinnamon rolls in case if you prefer sweet bites as me.
The portions were generous & the food quality was superb. Latte was velvety with excellent froth. Atmosphere & music 🎶 was so soothing. Super comfortable vibe. Great experience! Food was fresh & high quality. Apple pie was divine! The staff & owners were welcoming & lovely. ☺?
