EVA's best feature is no doubt the design of the space. It is unique with it's rounded columns, modern-industrial grey tones & intricate art pieces that adorn the restaurant. The service here was friendly & cheerful. My server didn't really interact with me after I was served, but I was sitting by the bar & the girl who was working there happily engaged me in conversation, which is always appreciated when I'm dining solo.
I went for the skytower plate, which I have mixed feelings on. The feature of the dish, the mini pancakes, were superb. I was unsure about the savory butter they were using as pancakes are sweet, however it worked very well. The texture of the pancakes was immaculate. 1-2 more could have been added to really justify the dish's name however. The other parts of the plate were pretty standard. The one part that did disappoint me is that I like my eggs poached & they told me they don't do poached eggs. This is the first time I've heard this at a brunch restaurant, & for how well this place presents itself I was surprised at the limitation. I have to say that the quality of the dish did not justify the price at all. They need to have at least one more item on this plate. I did not have a beverage, just this place & my bill was around $35. The portion-to-price ratio here is a weak point- brunch is meant to be filling, especially a plate like this.
Another 5 star experience in Montreal. Very friendly staff, you should reserve ahead though, very busy!! Food was speedy & so delicious. We would return for sure. We had the waffles & full breakfast & the mini pancake bites (these are to die for, they melt in your mouth with flavour) also the music is great I was jamming with all the tunes as we enjoyed a family brunch!
The food was not bad but it was ridiculously overpriced & not tasty enough to justify the price in my opinion. The eggslut has too much American cheese & I am surprised they didn't go for a higher quality melty cheese. We got two eggsluts, two hot cacaos & shared a bowl of pancake balls. Without tip it was around 72$ & was close to 90$ with the tip. The chicken waffle looked tasty & so did the steak & fries but we went for the vegetarian options instead. The staff was polite, quick & although I saw many reviews saying service was slow, we got our food relatively promptly despite the restaurant being very full. If the portions were bigger or the price was cheaper, I would have given this place 4 stars & maybe 5 if the food was less generic.
Overhyped "tiktock/insta" brunch place. Had made a reservation for Saturday morning with deposit required in case of no show, which is completely understandable. Was very excited to try out their waffle chicken plus their eva pancake. Upon ordering, server told us both of the items were not available, waffle machine is broken & pancakes are discontinued...( which we saw on instagram) Waffles & fried chiken were their signature plate....... What came down to the 2/5 stars was this eggplant dish. This dish is like, drinking oil. The eggplant was over-drenched with oil including the nan bread. Ate the 1/4 of the plate, the only thing acceptable was the boiled eggs. We are super disappointed in this overpriced brunch spot. The crepe bites definitely saved this review from getting a zero.
Maybe if the service wasn't so long I would of put 3 stars... we waited over an hour for our plates... on a Monday morning at 11 am? The food quality is good but not remarkable... the eggs are salty, the toast was burnt n have it a burn taste at every bite. The jam was spicy 🌶️ maybe offer 2 options lol I tasted the pancakes & it tasted great! I guess once you brunch at Marcus downtown it raises the bar too high. Nice decor, loved the bathroom setting. Nice was mostly nice & friendly. Would I return ? No. Great potential tho.
I visited this restaurant recently, & unfortunately, my experience was quite disappointing. The pancake I ordered was terrible-burnt both times I tried it. To make matters worse, my friend found a hair in her food. When we brought this to the attention of the staff, one of the waiters was incredibly rude & dismissive, failing to offer any apology or rectify the situation. Given these issues, I believe this place is highly overrated & doesn't live up to the expectations.
I had such a lovely time at Eva's. The service was amazing, the staff were friendly, the environment was aesthetically pleasing & beautiful. I had the house lemonade to drink & I ordered the chicken & waffles. The waffles are AMAZING!!!!! & they have this delicious butter that you put on top, the chicken tenders were juicy & the coating was crunchy & well seasoned. I also had the pancake stack & that was delicious too.
