I had a wonderful breakfast experience! The food was delicious & well-prepared, but what truly stood out was the amazing service. The waitress was incredibly kind, attentive, & made us feel so welcome. Her warm attitude added a special touch to our meal. Highly recommend this place for a great start to your day!

Went for brunch on a Saturday & had to wait a bit to be seated but it was worth it! The ambiance is very fun with a lot of humorous unserious decorations, the food was delicious & well served. I highly recommend the "Yé ou Burt" omelette, which comes with cheese, chouriço, potatoes & mushrooms. It was divine & the portion was very big.

Ce petit restaurant portugais de brunch, situé sur le Plateau, est une véritable pépite. L'ambiance y est immersive & chaleureuse, la décoration originale, & les plats proposés se démarquent par leur qualité & leur singularité, avec des recettes qu'on ne retrouve pas souvent à Montréal. Les smoothies sont délicieux, les sandwichs également, & l'accueil était tout simplement parfait. Le service, irréprochable, a ajouté à l'expérience. Je mets rarement des notes de 5/5, mais ici, je n'ai rien trouvé à redire. Un endroit charmant où se mêlent bonne nourriture & service attentionné. Que demander de plus ?
