Had a hearty breakfast at this lovely spot in the city center. The food was delicious & filling, the service was fast & friendly, & the location is perfect. Highly recommend.
One of the greatest restaurants on the island of Montreal. You can get almost anything. There's breakfast, lunch, dinner & dessert options. All of it is good. All the staff are very nice the owners Paul & Manny are always looking out for the customer.

The food was EGG-cellent! . We had the Veggie Omelet, American breakfast, & the Choco-Banana crepe. All were amazing & the side potatoes were the best I've ever had. The service by Marc A. was excellent. Very friendly & attentive. We enjoyed our visit! Thank you!
Wow, the food & beverages are amazing! We had breakfast three days in a row starting on Boxing Day, & the specials menu for Xmas was superb. The coffee is hot & fresh & whether it was a Cafe Ole or a cappuccino it was spot on!
Get ready to eat! The portions are big! We had quick service, a great waiter, & the breakfast was amazing. French toast with bacon & oatmeal for our table. Make reservations you won't regret it. If not, you may have to brave the harsh winter chill (with temperatures around 7 degrees!) while you wait outside. Worth it!
Food was okay, service was slow even though it didn't seem too busy, a bit pricey for the American breakfast. Value is better at the breakfast place down the street on St. Catherine's.
My boyfriend & I enjoyed breakfast here two days in a row. Very nice atmosphere. Both got eggs been, I the salmon & he the smoked meats. Delicious. Best home fries ever.. Even tried friend toast. So good. 10/10.

Wonderful place for breakfast! It was about a 10 minute walk from our hotel downtown. Our server was so pleasant, kind & very welcoming. I got an egg platter with pancakes, potatoes & sausage. It was totally delicious!!! Definitely recommend as a spot to come & eat at
Service was great. Food was bad. Potatoes had a fish after taste. The sausages are half the size of a normal sausage. Had the American breakfast. Do not recommend.
