Our breakfast food was ok... Nothing special. The service could have been better. Our host was not attentive, especially getting our food to us. It was not packed with people. Our food was sitting there on the counter for a while so by time he brought it, it was room temperature. I would not go back to visit. But that was my experience, hopefully someone else's will be better.

Great breakfast place in Montreal. The service is great, the staff is amazing. All of them always smiling 😃 that's what caught my attention & the area is good. Nice tourist area
THIS became our place for breakfast during our week in downtown Montreal because you can't go wrong with anything on their menu & the menu is so diverse that we didn't have the same thing twice in three visits.
Nikitas provided the best service experience of our entire Montreal visit. After one visit, he memorized our entire order, including allergy concerns & add-ons! The second day we came for breakfast, we didn't have to say a word, he remembered it all. He was also on top of coffee refills & making sure we were happy with our food. All the food was delicious. I had the Eggspectation Omelette & it was amazing. I highly recommend that you visit, & ask for Nikitas!
Whoever graded this place below 5, should have their head examined. Our server was an 10. Our food a 10. My wife had the Eggs Benedict Classic. I has the big breakfast with French Toast made from Brioche bread. If in doubt. Go. You won't be sorry.

We went (3) times during our trip to Montreal & loved it each & every time. My favorite was the Salted Caramel Waffles with Pears & Bacon. Our server was very friendly & helpful. We also had the French Toast Flambe & Breakfast Poutine which were also delicious.
Our server Nikitas was amazing! Outstanding food from the breakfast poutine, ribeye & eggs & chicken & waffles. Great options for all ages. Fun atmosphere & music. We will be back!!
It's in a nice location but you definitely pay for the location & not the food. The portions are significantly smaller than other breakfast restaurants. Also we were stuck with the rudest waitress. Not coming back
Very tasty brunch/breakfast place in the downtown area. Absolutely looooved their lyonnaise potatoes, I wish I could have that every day! The portion sizes are also perfect.

The food here is nothing special, not bad but not good either. Which is not great considering they mainly aim at breakfast food & that shouldn't be too hard to cook deliciously. Service was friendly, & the food come out without much of a wait. Don't expect anything special but not a bad place to stop for a quick bite.
I found this place mediocre at best. The food was yummy, but not top notch. Our waiter kept going outside to smoke & therefore was like the wind, here & gone again, taking awhile to get our bill & good service. Tho he was friendly. Best thing was our sangria, liked the rose! If you're looking for a nice comfort food breakfast place, this is it.
Fantastic breakfast venue. The food was delicious & consistent. I ate there every morning. The service was exceptional, & I give a shout out to my serverer, Marc, who helped make my vacation so much better. Gave me tips on what to see & wear to shop. I will be returning when I am back in Montreal.
