Emplacement magnifique au centre-ville de Montréal.
Cuisine de première qualité, service impeccable.
Merci Rubel pour tes conseils sur le choix des repas. L'omelette était délicieuse, merci d'avoir si bien soin de notre famille
Menu traduit avec chat GPT, ça fait vraiment dur. Les prix des boissons chaudes sont ridicules, 3$ le filtre, 6,50$ le chocolat chaud. Nourriture tiède/froide & portions correctes, peu goûteux. Le staff parle à peine français & le service est plutôt lent. Je ne comprend pas comment ce resto a 4.3 étoiles, il ne mérite clairement pas une note aussi élevée.

I spent a week in Montréal visiting friends & one day I took a friend to eat here. Upon entering we were welcomed & assigned a table near the window. Out waiter Emmanuel(I think his name was Emmanuel I lost the receipt unfortunately with his name on it) was nice & courteous.
The menu was extensive so I took a bit of time to order. Thats when the manager came over & said'troubles reading? They'll be a reading test in a bit' we were both confused as Ive spoken & read French for over 25 years yet he came making the joke in which we both replied with a nervous laugh. The food was a bit pricey for the quality but I was very hungry so I didnt mind too much.
I noticed they had a wall with currency bills of diffrent countries, I traveled to Argentina the next day after this happened & had Argentinian pesos on me. I returned maybe 45 minutes later & they must of forgotten I was just there that day(which is fine) because the reception I received was very diffrent. I came to gift them a 1000 peso bill from Argentina as they had 100,200 & 500 pesos from Argentina on the wall but not 1000 so I figured why not give them a bill to put up on the wall. I said this is for you guys to put up on your wall with the other bills. The manager looked at me funny as if I was trying to scam them, looked at the bill that clearly said'republica de Argentina' on it & said'I dont know what this is' I replied'it clearly says Argentina on there, do you want it for your wall?' He said no & shooed me out of the restaurant.
A very bizarre & uncomfortable experience, ill definitely be steering away from this place next time im in Montréal. The waiter was nice but aside from that the whole experience left me with a bad taste in my mouth & super uncomfortable as if I was doing something wrong for trying to gift them a 1000 peso bill(which is like $1 CAD)
Rubel was an eggcellent waiter! Our coffee & water was always full, & the food was hot, fresh, & delicious. The restaurant was clean & inviting. No complaints here!
Super belle découverte. Ambiance chaleureuse, service rapide & attentionné. Les plats sont frais, délicieux & bien présentés, avec des portions parfaites. Même le café vaut le détour. Clairement une adresse à garder.
