Que c'est bon !!! Cette fois-ci, nous avons essayé le Doré aux petits fruits & le Pain courgettes. C'était la première fois chez Janine, même excellent service que chez Régine. Décor aussi chaleureux & belle ambiance.

Had Champi, eggs, mushrooms on a bread with cheese, mashed potatoes, yummy, with pear blueberry mimosa 😋🤠 great service, liked the decor🤩
Another great brunch, avocado toast & salmon, delicious 😋
Tried the fried chicken with hot mayo sauce, it's delicious 😋
Welcome drink
Since the dining area is small so there must be a queue outside but it is worth. Beautiful decoration excellent service. They come with a welcome drink, lovely! 👍
🔹Le petit plateau ~ love their sauce but the scone is a bit hard
🔹Vanilla hot white chocolate ~ a bit too sweet
🔹Banana french toast ~ dish decorate is great
🔹Today Special goose ~ just so so
🔹Fried chicken sandwich ~ Taste good but not the outlook
🔹Mushroom toast with a scotch egg ~ the toast is too hard, mushroom taste great. Scotch egg is an art.
What a wonderful cozy intimate & gorgeous brunch cafe in Verdun! Our friends group decided to meet there & we were super impressed with the cozy decor of the cafe ❤?❤? I had the Toast Avocat while my friends had Chic Croissant & Champi along with coffee & let me tell you - from the way the food was presented to the taste everything was just perfect 😇😇 So so delicious & our full compliments to the chef 🙏🙏 The staff is also very gracious, welcoming, & always ready to answer any questions ! We would like to give a shout out to Janique as she was very attentive & always on her feet 🙏🙏 At some point we were also given fruit punch/ fruit shots made of ginger, beet, orange & it was very very good 😇😇 However, anyone who comes here must must try their Carrot Cake! We got ours to go as we were running out of time but we definitely opened the box & once I actually ate it at home, each bite was a gourmet's delight ❤?❤? A heavenly bliss !! Looking forward to trying the other items on the menu 🎉🎉Cannot recommend this 11/10 brunch cafe enough to anyone who wants to relax with family & friends & get the best service & food at the venue 😇😇

Everything is top-notch. The food quality is among the best, & the portions are generous, though a bit pricey.
The ambiance & décor are amazing.
However, the waiting time was a bit unreasonable, & we ended up sitting at the bar since it was cold to stay outside too long (not very ideal for winter visits!).
Such a wonderful spot for brunch!
The room was thoughtfully decorated, the service was warm with a smile each visit to our table & the dishes were artfully presented sand delicious! I don't think you could go wrong with any of the features!
Notre serveur était attentionné & gentil. L'assiette déjeuner avec jambon effiloché était moins goûteuse que l'assiette de déjeuner avec champignons. Le café au lait était délicieux. Le décor était jolie & même le petit pot de sucre était trop mignon.
Definitely a place not to sleep on or miss if you're in town. Cute little brunch spot with some great tasty food. You won't regret it ☺?.
Service was amazing once inside as the wait outside was a little long since you cannot reserve on weekends. They should add the option but I understand they want to show passerby's that this is the place to be, long line, etc..
The decor was simple, nice & subtle; fitted well with the ambiance. Our server was amazing & definitely loved his work & made our experience better.
I wish there was more vegan/vegetarian options or that they looked at that side more but you won't be disappointed if you're a meat eater.
Un petit trésor découvert par hasard en voulant retourner sur Wellington pour bruncher. La bonne note générale des avis sur Google nous avait justement incité à tenter l'adresse.
Un personnel charmant, une décoration chaleureuse, & des plats recherchés qui revisitent les standards culinaires de la fin de semaine : au final un vrai ravissement. L'oeuf écossais & la brioche à la cannelle maison avec un supplément de sauce au chocolat ont fait mon bonheur.
Un petit conseil : allez-y plus vers 10h30 que 11h30, ça fait toute une différence au niveau de l'attente pour une table.
Quelle belle surprise, un décor charmant, un service impeccable, un menu varié, un repas succulent, une présentation élégante. Définitivement a réessayer.

Un très belle endroit, calme & très belle décoration.
Les employés était gentil, attentionné, très efficaces.
La nourriture était délicieuse, rien a dire.
C'est sur que c'est un endroit que je visiterais une autres fois.
Beautiful experience once again. Great brunch place, beautiful decor & excellent service. The food is always well presented. Need to get there early, ideally before 11h am, even on a Monday for brunch as it get's crowded very quickly.
L'un des meilleurs brunchs que nous ayons fait (France & Canada confondus) ! Le lieu est intimiste & décoré avec raffinement. Les plats sont copieux, recherchés & délicieux. Le service est impeccable. Je recommande vivement !!
