Caro Resto is really a hidden gem on the corner of Gouin & Sources & I highly recommend you all go. The menu has interesting offerings which I have yet to try & have to go back for.
Added bonus: The cook Caro actually takes the time to greet her patrons & asks for feedback. Just an added human touch which makes the experience that much better :)
Un incontournable dans l'Ouest. Merci Caro & à bientôt!
I usually don't post unless I was really impressed, I went t for breakfast with my girlfriend at this new restaurant & we were both very impressed! The place was spotless, the service was attentive & friendly & the food was fresh & delicious cooked to perfection. Also the owner comes to the table & asks if everything was good! Now that really impressed us.plus my full breakfast cost was $9.99 excellent food at excellent price!

I never leave reviews but this place was so good I couldn't not this time. Genuinely the freshest & one of the most flavourful breakfast I've had in a restaurant in years - maybe ever. Some stuff is expensive but most of it is below average price. Got the special with poached eggs on top of goat, plantains, peppers & onions with hollandaise. Delicious & only costed $20 before tip (it would have been like $5 cheaper for pork or beef). Usually breakfast places just cut up some lettuce & a couple of crappy pieces of fruit to make the plate look nice. Not here. A little salad with some in house dressing, & some of the freshest fruit I've ever had at a restaurant. Seriously unreal.
As a side note, the decor is lovely & they played some beautiful jazz at a reasonable level. Lots of places just look like cookie cutter repetitive crap but this place is unique & it works well.
It sounds like I'm being dramatic but I promise you that if you live in the West island you are missing out on something special here.
Our experience was perfect from arriving to leaving. Very attentive staff. The chef introduced herself, walked us through the menu & even came after the plates were served to make sure everything was to our liking.
For the food, the plates are picture ready, colourful, well presented & appetizing. Huge portions. Ingredients are all fresh & full of flavour. I found the salad to be a nice touch & a complmenting addition to a breakfast plate.
The place was more on the empty side. They are relatively new & with this quality & the excellent service, I am sure this place will be one of the best breakfast places in the west island.
Such an amazing new discovery! This place does not disappoint! Chef Marie-Carole knows how to prepare an amazing menu that stands out from the usual breakfast patterns without taking any shortcuts to deliver a scrumptious meal!!! Everything is fresh & delicious, this is definitely my new favourite breakfast brunch destination! :D
Service was great! Different servers passed by multiple times to check on our food & to refill our water & coffee. One particular waiter was friendly & joked around with our kids.
The food was fantastic! I've been to multiple popular breakfast restaurants in the west island where some places are either good but too expensive, or the price is reasonable but food is just mediocre.
Among the ones we've tried in the West Island, CDI is the best one so far. The potatoes were a delight, it's crispy on the outside & tender on the inside. The eggs benedict was cooked perfectly. The salad & fruits on the side of the plate were good & fresh. In terms of price, quantity & quality, it hit all the marks.
(I forgot to take pictures this time, but will be going back for sure.)
Update: I went back & ordered La Belle Caro & it was so delicious!

My wife & I went there again. I understand that the resturant is under new management but the quality is still exceptional. The breakfast was delicious & what was interesting was it was served on large plates so the food was fully displayed & not piled on top of everything. Our server was very nice & attentive. I highly recommend this resturant.
There is a large Breakfast menu. The staff is very attentive. Overall a good experience.
I have to admit I was pleasantly satisfied with the food, even the fruits were sweet, It shows the chief really took her time in picking & selecting what went on my plate. I chose the quesadilla breakfast & I have no regrets. Sweet, delicious, & fulfilling. Thank you, I would love to come again 😊
