The atmosphere is described as cozy yet lively, clean and family friendly, ideal for celebrations or casual meals with friends. A few notes mention minor missteps, but overall taste, freshness, and hospitality shine, leading many to call Caro Resto a new favorite or hidden gem and to plan return visits.
Great experience! We were a group of 12 celebrating a loved ones birthday & the staff added to how special the experience was! The servers sang happy birthday while bringing out a cake we brought. The chef/owner joined in & sang to the celebrant.
It's also kid friendly & staff were very warm towards the children/babies in our group. The care received brought the experience to a 5!
Everyone enjoyed their food, there were minor differences in preference, but overall it was good & worth visiting again. Also pricing is reasonable for the quantity compared to other breakfast places
Food was delicious & affordable, but the service was literally the best thing ever. First of all, they were able to accommodate our large group even though we hadn't reserved (thankfully lol!!). The chef came out to ask us personally if everything was to our liking (which it absolutely was, she is such a talented cook). Towards the end, I had left my food unattended though, & one of the waitresses didn't know I wanted to take it to-go- something which was totally my fault, & she threw it out. Not a big problem, as I should have been at my seat to let her know, but they literally took it upon themselves to remake my entire meal so I could have it to-go. I cannot believe how kind that was, especially since the misunderstanding was totally on me! If you're looking for some amazing breakfast food & even better service, please come here!

We celebrated our daughter's baptism with breakfast at CDI, & Carol & the entire staff truly went above & beyond. We were a group of about 20 guests, & everyone thoroughly enjoyed their food. Everything was absolutely delicious.
A few weeks prior, we had gone for breakfast to try the restaurant, & Carol personally came out to every table asking guests how they enjoyed their food & interacting with everyone. It immediately felt like such a warm & welcoming place.
On the day of our celebration, Carol surprised us by beautifully decorating our table, something we absolutely did not expect & that touched us so much. You can genuinely feel the love & care that goes into this restaurant. It's rare to find a place that treats its customers with such kindness & attention to detail.
It truly is a very special place. Thank you for making such an important day even more memorable. Highly recommend!
Great hospitality & service from the staff & owner in a relaxed atmosphere. I really enjoyed the unique twist on traditional breakfast fair; eggs benedict on plantains with fried pork was delicious. Looking forward to coming back & trying out the rest of the menu.
The service wasn't great. We waited a long time just to place our order & had to keep trying to get someone's attention. When our food arrived, some items were missing. The menu was also misleading. It advertised blueberry pancakes, but we were served crepes with the blueberries tucked underneath. Overall, it didn't meet expectations.
The food was delicious, the place was delightful. Me & my family LOVED it, the service was nice, & they would take time & come to us if we had slightest problem in no time. They were also nice coming to talk to us all the time. We thank them.
Lovely brunch place! The plates are plentiful & everything made from scratch, very flavorful, the fruit were really ripe & delicious!! We will definitely be back!! Decor & atmosphere is lovely, service good!

J'ai été agréablement surprise, la nourriture est plus que délicieuse, le personnel est courtois & la propriétaire est soucieuse des ses clients. Oui, il service peut être un peu long, mais crois moi ça en vaut la peine. Je vous le recommande sans la moindre hésitation. S'il y a un problème, parlez en à la proprio, elle accepte les critiques constructives.
Shame on me for not knowing about this new found gem sooner! I am the biggest brunch fan I know. I could start every one of my days with a brunch. I hunt down restaurants in New York, New Jersey & Montreal for the best brunch menus, & Caro Resto (CDI) greatly satisfied my hunger. The food was delicious & Carol the owner, made it a point to approach every table. When she got to ours she simply was making sure everything was to our liking, & that service was impeccable. I was astounded & thought I have finally found my spot in the West Island, & I am also so proud to support a local proprietor. I will be back!
Had a lovely breakfast here. Great prices & huge portions. I also appreciate that kids can order just a bowl of cereal for under five dollars! My kids were in the mood for a big breakfast, but they got the biggest bowl of cereal that made them so happy!
My husband got the hungry breakfast & it was enormous! Probably one of the biggest he's ever had.
This is a must try place.
Had breakfast this morning & the vibe was wonderful, staff is very sweet & the food was incredible! The head chef came out & spoke to us & made sure we were well taken care of.
I'll definitely come back here again, it's a new favorite for me :)
Excellent! La nourriture est excellente surtout le porc grillé & les crêpes! Le service est aussi très bon ! Un des meilleurs déjeuners que j'ai mangé dans ma vie
