Review Summary

Janine Café-Brunch is consistently praised as a warm, stylish brunch spot with a welcoming vibe and attentive service, where generous portions and a creative menu keep guests coming back. Standout dishes include Champi mushroom toast, latkes with toppings, oeuf boeuf, gros jambon on brioche, and a superb chicken waffle, along with crowd pleasers like avocado toast with smoked salmon and banana French toast, all arriving hot and bursting with flavor. Drinks shine too, from complimentary welcome juice shots and well made lattes to comforting chai tea. The decor is described as cozy and elegant, with an Instagrammable ambiance and a lively yet relaxed atmosphere, while the staff are repeatedly noted for friendliness and efficiency, sometimes offering small touches during waits. A few caveats mention weekend lines, occasional dishes arriving lukewarm, and higher prices, but the overall impression is that the quality, presentation, and value make Janine Café-Brunch a top choice for brunch in the area.

Bonjour,
Le brunch était délicieux, la serveuse était aimable. Elle nous a apporté des couverts différents car nous avions partagé nos plats sucrés-salés. Le thé dans le froid fait du bien merci :)

Today I had brunch here with a a friend for her bday brunch ! It was very nice & clean. Very busy, so if you have more then 2 people I would reserve in advance to make sure you do not have to wait. I did not have reservations & only had to wait max 10 minutes, for a table to be cleaned. Everyone was very pleasant , the food was amazing. So many different things to chose from & the quality of the food is A1 !!! I was very impressed & would recommend this place 100000 times ! Hope this helps. Hope this helps ! 🫶🏼

Went here while in Quebec for work. The staff was extremely polite, spoke English very well(my French is bad, at best, but I try), & the food, along with speed of service was great.

Jamais déçue! Qualité/prix/taille des assiettes très bien. Le menu ne contient pas des pages & des pages d'options, mais il y en a pour tous les goûts, & les options sont très originales. J'ai un penchant pour le Latkes, mais la dernière fois j'ai opté pour la Champi. Les deux un délice. Leur jambon est excellent aussi!

Excellent endroit pour bruncher. Service très attentionné, assiette abondante, délicieux café. Les patates en purée sont vraiment succulentes & font changement de toutes les déclinaisons de patates déjeuner congelées! Fèves au lard goûteuses, bacon épais 😋 cretons réussis, jambon effiloché très tendre, pain goûteux... Ça vaut vraiment la peine de faire la queue dehors.

We waited 20 ish minutes on a Saturday to get in since they don't take reservations. The wait went by super fast & was worth every minute. From the drink to the food, everything was a hit! The staff were polite & on top of it & the food was delicious. They even gave us a free juice shot which was so yummy! Only constructive criticism I could give is I wished my main dish was hotter in temperature since it was lukewarm. Would be going back & I would recommend it to everyone! The s'mores latte was incredible! I rarely finish my drinks but I did this time. You should try it at least once!

I've had good experiences here & have been three times. They removed my favorite item, the waffles & chicken, but I hope it will come back one day. The matcha is really good, & the portions are generous. It's a very popular brunch spot, so be prepared to wait 20 minutes to an hour, depending on the day & time.

Update: went today again & the food was just as good as I remember. If you don't want to wait in a line, just go during the week at 10am & you'll be seated very easily ❤?

Excellent service, & great food. If you get the sharing platter, being 6+ people is a must, unless that's the only thing you're eating.
Also, get there about 20 minutes before opening if you want to make sure you get a good table & don't wait to wit longer than that outside. I wish they had heat lamps on the sidewalk for when you're waiting in the winter.

Très bon déjeuner. Plats copieux.
Service courtois. Parfois peu être bruyant
Peu d espace entre les tables.
