Fantastic breakfast option. Everything was very fresh & the coffee was good. The staff was friendly & helpful. The wait seemed like it was going to be long but they got us in quickly.

A party of 3 with 2 people addicted to egg benedict, so it made sense to come the the closest location to have our breakfast: lobster Benedict, crab cake Benedict with me liking plain eggs.

The surprise was the watermellon slices, which was a great touch after having eggs. & thanks to our waiter, an Oriental guy (secretly I wished him to be our waiters as the others seem not to be bothered much) who paid attention to everything: how I like my bread etc. You might think: why be fussy? Well, otherwise I cannot eat or small things done not the way I like them simply make me physically sick.

This place is beautifully decorated, even the bathrooms are amazing & is located in a great area: as we returned around lunch time we noticed how busy & 'crazy' this are became all of a sudden. At night it might be madness.

The food tasted amazing & priced appropriately too. No pressure to leave & we took our time to enjoy the omelets. Had the Montreal omelette & it came with potatoes & watermelon & pineapple. The best potatos by far I've had at a diner style restaurant. Eggs were delicious too! Naturally the vibe was on point with stairs taking you to the second level.

Hearty breakfast at the heart of Montreal!

Fabulous 5 star experience with service & food. Great array of choices . Be prepared to have to wait for a table but it’s worth it!!! If you’re looking for a quiet relaxing breakfast this is not the place for you . It’s big , loud & buzzing
