I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding a deeply disappointing & concerning experience at your Montreal location.
On the date of our visit, my party & I were the first customers in line waiting to be seated. Despite this, we were left waiting approximately 30 minutes, during which time every group that lined up behind us was seated ahead of us. We were only acknowledged & seated after one of us explicitly raised the issue with staff.
When this was brought to the attention of the hostess/server, we were told that staff'didn't realize we were in line because we were speaking English.' This explanation is troubling & unacceptable. Language should never be used as a reason to ignore or deprioritize customers, & this comment raised serious concerns about discriminatory treatment.
Unfortunately, the service issues continued after we were seated. We waited 1 hour & 10 minutes for our food, & it took 30 minutes before we were even offered coffee. During this time, multiple tables that had been seated after us received their food well before we did. No proactive communication or explanation was provided for the delays.
Taken together, these events made us feel ignored & singled out. As visitors from Ontario, the experience left us with the strong impression that we were treated differently because we were English-speaking & out-of-province.
I am bringing this to your attention because this situation reflects poorly on the Cora's brand & raises concerns that warrant review. I respectfully ask that this incident be investigated & addressed internally to ensure that all guests are treated fairly, professionally, & without bias.
I would appreciate acknowledgment of this complaint & information on any steps being taken to prevent similar experiences in the future.

Disappointing experience. We waited about 20 minutes just to be seated, & during that time the host attempted to seat people who arrived after us until we spoke up. After finally being seated & placing our order, we waited over an hour for our food while multiple tables that were seated after us were served well before we were.
We're from out of town, & as English speakers it genuinely felt like we were treated as a lower priority. Whether intentional or not, the service was inconsistent & frustrating. Good food can't make up for poor service & lack of basic fairness.
Nice place for breakfast, lunch, or brunch. The staff is friendly, the food tastes fresh, & the overall experience feels warm & welcoming-almost like visiting a family member. Natalie was our server & truly went above & beyond to make our experience great.
J'ai commandé une cassolette végé & la portion était beaucoup plus petite que d'habitude, elle ne remplissait même pas l'assiette. Il y avait une très petite quantité de sauce béchamel. La réduflation envers la quantité de nourriture est vraiment exagérée. Mais, la nourriture était bonne.
J'y étais au mois de décembre, & à chaque fois que qqun entrait ou sortait du restaurant, on ressentait les courants d'air froid.
Très bon service.

Une vraiment belle expérience, c'était vraiment bon, notre serveuse était souriante & attentif! Merci à toute l'équipe vous avez fait une belle job ! 😁 On reviendra 💯🎉
The food is good, but the cutlery is the worst. I rather use plastic knife instead of the ones they have. I'll come back in the future. I hope they replace the cutlery.

J'ai pris un smoothie bol & il était extrêmement bon. Notre serveuse, Nathalie était d'une gentillesse incomparable, très souriante . Nous reviendrons, c'est sûr ☺?
Service was average. The waiter spilled coffee & didn't clean it up or offer any napkins. The breakfast poutine looked more like a soup, & the potatoes were noticeably undercooked. Disappointing overall.
