We had a really lovely brunch at Cafe Janine with the family. The seating area was comfortable & the atmosphere felt warm & relaxed, which made it easy to enjoy our time together.
The food was delicious & clearly well prepared, & the staff were kind & attentive throughout our visit.
Overall, it was a great experience & we'd definitely recommend it.
C'est pour le moment le meilleur brunch que j'ai pu faire à Montréal !!! Le'Sucré salé' est un mélange parfait pour les personnes qui sont indécises ! Ce plat est vraiment savoureux & les portions sont généreuses : je recommande à 100% !
Il y avait la queue quand nous sommes venus & un peu d'attente mais ça en valait vraiment la peine. De plus le service était vraiment impeccable & nous avons eu nos plats rapidement.

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 ! 🫶🏼
Amazing breakfast! I had the Latkes & my friend had the avocado toast. Both were delicious! Our waitress Anis was kind & thoughtful. Highly recommend. Ps get there early, there is a lineup & we know why!
Super petit endroit pour prendre le brunch, service impeccable & l'atmosphère est super mignon. On an est avec mon compagnon & nous on a pas est dessus, la nourriture très bon & généreuse aussi, je recommande cette endroit si vous aime le bon brunch.
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!
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 😇😇

The service was amazing… Such a warm & welcoming atmosphere. A big thank you to our server Hamza, who was attentive & very professional. I highly recommend this place!
B Beautiful atmosphere & delicious brunch!
This place has such a lovely vibe & is definitely one of my favorites. The brunch menu offers a great variety of dishes, with plenty of tasty options for vegetarians. My father especially enjoyed the flavorful courgette bread! I also loved the Champi, it was super tasty & perfectly done. We visited for Mother's Day this time, & it made the occasion even more special. Highly recommend for a relaxing & satisfying meal.
Definitely the most delicious brunch I had ever ate!
I tried CHAMPI, the pair of bread & mushroom is amazing( switch the egg to scotch egg is highly recommend, it will bring out more flavor with the combination)

Feels like I stumbled into food heaven.
It's torture to choose what dish to eat there wishing my stomach had a huge capacity.
The service is super friendly
The place is gorgeous
The food is delicious
Highly recommended
You need to make reservations before coming (worth it trust me)
I had an incredible time at Bruinch Place! The food was absolutely delicious - every dish was cooked to perfection with fresh, high-quality ingredients. The menu had a fantastic variety, from classic favorites to creative twists that truly stood out. The coffee was rich & flavorful, & the cocktails were expertly crafted.
The atmosphere was warm & inviting, making it the perfect spot to relax & enjoy a leisurely brunch. The staff were friendly, attentive, & went above & beyond to make sure we had everything we needed.
If you're looking for the best brunch in town, Bruinch Place is the place to go. I can't wait to come back & try more dishes!
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 !!
Le brunch chez Janine était tout simplement fantastique !
J'ai attendu 1h30 pour entrer - & je le referais sans hésiter. Le service était exceptionnel : on nous a même offert du thé pendant l'attente, une attention très appréciée. & la nourriture… incroyable ! Des plats généreux, savoureux & magnifiquement présentés. Une adresse coup de coeur que je recommande les yeux fermés.
Pour le brunch, la nourriture a été excellente & le service aussi. Je recommende. Si vous prenez un café de spécialité, le café filtre est inclus aussi donc ça vaut la peine. Le cappuccino était bon
