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 atmosphere was great, the service was excellent, & the portions were quite large. However, the Eggs Benedict I had wasn't as good as other places. The yolk was fully cooked, & I felt the mushrooms & other ingredients could have been chopped more finely
I had an egg white omelette & they didn't charge me extra. The plate came with potatoes, plantain, salad, & fruit. The service was excellent & the staff was very attentive. I will definitely be back often
Amazing menu & great service!
The eggs Benedictines are fantastic, the composition of every breakfast plate is very apetizing. I will need to come back many times to try the delicious variety of breakfasts served here.
Amazing service & great food! The vibe is warm & welcoming, & the salmon egg plate was absolutely delicious. When something I didn't want was accidentally added to my plate, the owner was incredibly kind-she immediately took it back & even let us keep the extra plate to try. Such thoughtful service! Would definitely recommend & will 100% be coming back.

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.
This is the best egg Benedict that is served in West Island. The protein selection like roasted pork belly, salmon & smoked meat , together with the house sauce, is making the experience unforgettable.
My wife & I were looking for a good place to brunch since the downfall of oeufrier's quality. We found this place nearby with great reviews. We were not disappointed. I ordered the cheddar bacon crepes with a smoothie & my wife ordered the Benedictine bs eggs with extra plantains & a banana strawberry carribean smoothie (made with carnation). It was outstanding. My wife being from the Caribbean herself really enjoyed the seasoning in her eggs & the plantains were fresh & delicious. Usually when we order plantains in restaurants, they're dry & flavorless. This was not the case.
Only little downside, as a person who does not like eggs, I always struggle finding something salty that are not eggs or just a bagel. As much as my cheddar bacon crepe was delicious & will definitely order again, I wish they had more options. But I'm not taking points away because I'm the picky one.
The restaurant was fairly empty on a sunday at 11 am. With the quality of the food, I really hope this restaurant stays in business.

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!
