Prices continue to rise each day but these guys somehow still manage to load my plate with more food than I could ever eat for under $25. Service was quick & friendly. Food arrived shortly after ordering. Was a slower late afternoon Thursday but I have braved the weekend lineup & also received great service. I recall being offered coffee or tea outdoors. Decided today to leave a review. This is a fantastic place to bring friends from out of town or connect with your network locally & relax. Ordered Gros Jambon & man it was huge. Plate included toast, bacon, beans, cretons. Bravo. Especially impressed with the generosity of portion for price. A rarity in the inflation era. Sat at the bar & had 3 different servers/managers check on me. Very good.
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.
Tutto molto buono. Ci si pranza tranquillamente. Abbiamo preso il gros jambon con aggiunta di maple sausage e oeuf & boeuf. Il prezzo sicuramente non è dei più bassi ma la porzione è generosa e il cibo di qualità.
L'ambiente è curato, nello stile di una sala da tè, non il mio genere ma almeno è pulito e coerente.
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.

C'est la deuxième fois que je viens à ce restaurant. Quel bon moment! Ça vaut la peine l'attente!! Le restaurant à une très bonne cuisine & le service est impeccable. Pour moi, les assiettes sont généreux & élaborés. Simplement délicieux!
Je vais revenir!! ❤?❤?
Merci pour le bon service!! 🥰
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.
The GF grilled cheese with onions & ham & Kalamata olive caramel sauce… it brought me back to childhood onion soup so hard it made me cry. Not kidding. Made. Me. Cry.
Beautiful restaurant, excellent service, & the food is incredible.

Been a couple of times. A very enjoyable place, service is great, food is good, but I find it heavy. It's varied & not typical, but you fill full & heavy for the rest of the day. Lines can get long too as it's popular & they don't take reservations for brunch.
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)
The Fried Chicken Sandwich is superb. The big chunk of chicken is perfectly fried. The brioche bread is well toasted.
The petit plateau is perfect to be shared with another person. The variety of spreads that comes with it complements the plateau really well.
The oeuf écossais was actually pretty average. It was good but not as amazing as advertissed.
