Absolutely great! Great menu, prices & food! The female owner even came out to see how we liked everything. Was my 2nd time there with a group. I will definitely return.

Food is amazing & especially for the price. Might actually be the best bacon & sausages I've ever had. The service is also really good the owners are lovely.
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.
Beautiful presentation. Generous portion. Great service. All of this at a great price. I recommend the chef special. First time there but won't be the last.
I kept hearing people rave about this place, so I finally decided to try it… & now I get it.
The food was incredibly fresh & flavorful, you can genuinely taste that nothing is frozen. The service was amazing, & the owner was so attentive & kind, constantly checking in to make sure everything was perfect. The prices being so affordable were the cherry on top! She even surprised us with extra touches that made the whole experience feel so personal.
It honestly made me so happy to support a business run with that much care, & to see how well she treats her staff. This is officially my go-to breakfast spot…I won't be going anywhere else
⭐?⭐?⭐?⭐?⭐? 5/5 - Outstanding Breakfast at C.D.I. Roxboro / Pierrefonds
I had breakfast at C.D.I. in Roxboro-Pierrefonds & was genuinely impressed. The prices are more than fair, especially considering the quality of the food - which is easily twice as good as what you get at most other breakfast restaurants.
Everything was fresh, perfectly cooked, & full of flavour. You can tell they care about what they serve. Portion sizes were generous without feeling heavy, & the presentation was great too.
The service was friendly & warm, & the atmosphere made it an ideal spot to start the day. It's rare to find a place that delivers both exceptional value & exceptional food, but C.D.I. absolutely does.
Highly recommended - I'll definitely be returning!

Hands down, one fo the best breakfast experiences in the west at the MOST COMPETITIVE PRICES!
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!
CDI Restaurant corner Gouin & Sources.
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.

The food was fresh. I ordered'l'assiette du chef'. It came with fresh fruit & vegetables. The potatoes were great . The price was very reasonable & it was a big portion. The young man that served us was very efficient & polite. I saw that they have a big room for groups at the back. It would be ideal for a family gathering. I highly recommend this place.
The food was delicious, made with great quality ingredients & very well priced. The staff & owner are delightful. Their menu has just about something for everyone, including halal meat options (make sure to ask about them!) you can enjoy with your mind at ease, knowing there is a solicitous & considerate team going out of their way to avoid any cross contamination. Will be returning soon!
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!
