Been coming here for YEARS with my family, the hostesses & servers are all lovely. Nikita always brings immaculate vibes & always goes the extra mile to make customers feel special, we always ask to be seated in his section! The food & service is excellent, always fun new menu changes to keep it fresh too. 😍 mr owner/manager is also super sweet & friendly. Highly recommend!
We had two wonderful meals here! The food was incredible, fast, fresh squeezed orange juice was amazing. Beautiful fresh fruit & vegetables. The service was even better, Nikita was so kind & helpful!
I was in Montreal fof the jazz festival & me & my family had breakfast every morning at this place for 5 straight days!! Nikita Mark & Amanda were awesome servers!!!Food is delicious !!!
I love this restaurant. I visit from NY/PA around 5-6 times a year. I make sure I eat brunch every single day I am in Montreal. The food is amazing. The restaurant is spotless. The service is perfect. I especially adore Nikitas. He actually knows my order whenever I am there. He will see me & immediately get my beverages (diet soda & a glass of wine). We then chat a bit while my order is being prepared. He knows all his customers & truly enjoys his job. It is so refreshing. He makes you feel like family. The entire staff makes sure each guest is cared for & happy. I have been visiting Montreal for over 20 years & have been to many restaurants in the area. I can honestly say that this place is THE BEST for breakfast, brunch, & lunch/early dinner. The menu never disappoints. The staff is incredible. The entire experience is wonderful. I have never been let down by this restaurant. I absolutely recommend it to tourist & locals. It is a gem.
We love this place! Best breakfast in the city with so many choices. Food is fresh, hot, & service is impeccable. Recommend the Classic & Crab Benedict's, French toast flambé, Eggstravganza, & their salads. Can't go wrong with any of it. Large portions, fresh coffee with constant refills, great mimosas, & spicy Bloody Mary's-they have it. Large parties handled with ease & food coming out of the kitchen is fast. From the hostess at the front door to the wait staff, very impressed. Nikita, our waiter is the best!

Fantastic spot for an amazing breakfast! Our server Nikaita was so gracious. helpful & cheery. Not enough can be said about the difference that great service makes. It was a pleasure & we hope Nikita can serve us again on our next visit!
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!

We love going here for breakfast when we visit our daughter in Montreal! We love that we feel like regulars as Nikitas already knows exactly what we want to order & remembers it down to the detail! We love Cayenne's smile when we walk in, & missed her on our last trip yesterday!!!
Come to this location everytime we are in Montreal. The food & service is always great. Nikitas is just one of the amazing staff they have. Can't wait to come back again.
My family & I spent a few days in Montreal for a concert & came across this establishment best breakfast we had while we were there hands down! Nikitas was our server both days we went & he was absolutely excellent!
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!!
