Best coffee in town, better than starbuck

In a uniques way I liked this coffe shop in Montreal. The table to be served is given at the order cash counter manually by a stand having the number. So the food server knows where you are. The atmosphere looked pretty serene. Ladies & customers having their sip of coffee by the window, reading a book (yes book) or the modern addictive trend of internet on their 📲

Bonne ambiance avec des grandes tables à l'arrière pour étudier. Mais les portions étaient un peu petites - j'ai pris le Sandwich Montréal & je le trouvais petit pour 12,5$... L'assiette brunch non-vege était bonne mais aussi 18,5$ assez cher pour ce que c'était. Mais le personnel était très sympathique & le café très bon.

Excellent café par contre le grilled cheese a besoin d'amour. J'ai eu beaucoup de mal à goûter le fromage, encore moins le voir. Critique constructive.

I recently visited Canard Café in Montreal with my partner for lunch, & we had a decent experience. My partner ordered the ham sandwich on a baguette, & I opted for the goat cheese salad. While the food was good, it didn't stand out as anything exceptional. I also ordered a cortado, which was enjoyable, but I did notice a few issues in the coffee preparation process. It was disappointing to see that they didn't use a scale to ensure precise espresso dosing. Additionally, the barista's steaming technique seemed improper & caused the milk to "scream," which can be detrimental to the machine. Furthermore, the barista's lack of constant hand contact with the pitcher for temperature judgment was a letdown. Lastly, the espresso was tamped using improper technique, lacking the even bed leveling before tamping & a 90° angle tamp. In summary, Canard Café provided a decent meal, but the coffee preparation could use some improvements for a more refined experience.

Food was disappointing. If the portion isn't minuscule, the quality is barebones & flat. Cant win. Coffee was _okay_ & the portions generous. Don't order sandwiches. Soup is fine but slightly bland.

Stopped in for coffee & breakfast with my girlfriend while we were visiting in Montreal. The food is delicious, especially the duck sausage. The coffee was tasty & the service was incredible, very very friendly staff that helped us to understand the menu. We loved our experience here!
