Le burger vege est très bon quoique la dernière fois il était un peu trop cuit. Les drinks sont pas mal aussi. J'aimerais un peu plus de choix végétariens mais sinon j'aime beaucoup l'endroit!

Im getting a lil picky, is cause at any any other brunch place they serve you brunch with coffee, sorry but that’s average brunch experience. Here we never received even water, I asked about the bottomless mimosas they say that better not cause yeah the brunch would be over in 30 min but dude can I at least after paying 25 dollars get a a glass of water? I’m drying out like Patrick & Sponge Bob at Arenitas house. Worst thing the waiter stand right beside me to look how much tip I was going to leave him. Excuse me? That’s very rude, it’s like observing another person’s wallet with too much interest. Them eggs were good tho.

The service was so slow. We ordered bottomless mimosas & instead of just leaving the bottle on the table we had to wait 20-25 minutes for each refill. Mind you bottomless mimosas have a time limit of an hour & a half. The food was fine but my friend received an omelette when she didn't ask for one & another friend was also given a different meal than what she ordered. Shots also took about 20 minutes to be brought to table. We actually had to ask for them

When I made my reservation on the phone I asked to use the upstairs & I was told yes. It was even written in my email confirmation. When I got there I was told the upstairs was closed however other costumers were seated upstairs. The manager was very kind & helpful. However, a waiter named Vincent was rude & disrespectful. When I tried to show Vincent my email reservation which he asked for he then said he doesn't care in a rude & disrespectful manner. I was very disappointed about the service & the way me & my friends were treated because I was there to celebrate my 30th birthday. Why were other clients able to use upstairs & not us? At the end the manager didn't charge for my meal & gave 50% off the sangria. However for this reason I & my 9 other friends will never return to Gingo.

Service was terrible, waited 10 minutes for someone to seat us (we had a reservation) while multiple people just walked by us. 20 minutes for someone to even acknowledge us , we had to ask 3 times for us to order.
Overall we could of been in & out within an hour but we were there over 2 hours because of the service.
Also forgot some of the drinks we ordered, if the server would of came to check our food she would of noticed or we would of asked for it.
3 stars because the food was alright. Other than that 👎

Food was great but unfortunately the service was lacking. We ordered two drinks & two meals, & both one meal & a drink were incorrect, one of our drinks was also full dairy which we didn't want or know of until we saw the bill

The atmosphere is cozy & the people are very nice. As I am leaving Canada tonight, that should be my last bagel in Montreal. In all the food is above average. Btw, The opening time seems to be wrong with the note in google map.

As someone that knows that on weekends (starting Friday), restaurants can get a little hectic, we've decided to book a reservation for 13:00 so we won't get rushed nor have the feeling of being pressured to eat quickly.
As confirmed, at 13:00 there wasn't many people, in fact it was very much empty except for a couple of students that came in to study & eat.
We waited for about 20 minutes until a waitress that hasn't even presented herself ask us if we were ready to order. We ordered & waited for about 45 minutes to finally get our plate. At random times other waiters would come up to our table with plates that weren't meant for us.
Regarding the food, i had ordered the Cheeseburger Bacon, it was nice, filling & it was a nice portion. Sadly my friend had ordered the avocado toast & received a not so nice portion with a limited amount of fruits & the poches egg wasn't up to standards.
After finishing we waited for another 15 minutes to receive the check, because we notice that our waitress is sitting on her phone & chatting with her colleagues & for that we had to go up to the bar to ask if we could have the check & the waitress at the bar in a conceited tone tells us its with our designed waitress.
Would love to give them the benefit of the doubt & see it as the fact that they we're understaffed but when the service isn't great it just makes the overall experience unpleasant.
Sadly i won't be back.

Ce midi fût notre pire expérience au Ginkgo. Le serveur a eu de la misère à comprendre notre commande, il a oublié les ustensiles, il a oublié de servir le breuvage de mon ami, il n'a pas été en mesure de changer des patates a déjeuners pour des frites, il a à la place charger 5$ pour un side de frite malgré les explications, mon burger était a moitié cuit & on ne m'a pas offert de compensation pour régler le problème. Ça été franchement décevant. Au moins, la gérante à la fin a proposé de donner le breuvage a mon ami (celui qu'ils avaient oublié). J'aurais mis 0 étoiles pour le service si j'avais pu.
