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 !!
We had a positive experience here, great service, vibe & of course food, but I find it a bit cheap to not include coffee/juice in the brunch set. They do serve a welcome peach shot though.

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.
Best brunch in all of mtl. Both the pulled pork plate & banana french toast were so good. The extra chocolate sauce is definitely worth it too. My only complaint is the table that we were seated at was really wobbly.
Une fois entré tout est Super!
Le samedi & le dimanche, pour le brunch, il est préférable que vous réserviez d'avance car vous risquez d'attendre longtemps avant qu'une table se libère.😂
I had mushroom toast dish with scutch egg which was not valued 32 CaD at all! I did not like the taste of potato & mushrooms.
I had a carrot cake which was great!

Look at how happy we are to be eating at Janine Café-Brunch. Do you want to be happy? Go to Janine Café-Brunch. Only a goblin or a comunist wouldn't want to go eat at Janine Café-Brunch.
Also my firend (the one on the left) told me that the food cured his erectile disfunction & grew hair on his bald spot.
& the food is good I guess.
10/10 🌟
Visited today after a few years. Just as good!

Excellent service, amazing food ... Must try! I went on a Sunday, no reservations. Either arrive before opening time or expect a wait time. It is really worth it!
Super beau service, un café au décor sublime & que dire des plats qui était tellement délicieux. Définitivement, une place à retourner. Le seul hic, sa popularité nous impose à avoir une patience à toute épreuve afin d'attendre pour entrer.

We came on a Monday morning for brunch. We got seated right away & had very friendly waiter to greet us & take our order. However as we finished our meal, it seems our waiter completely forgot about us. More than 45 min after finishing our meal the table was never cleared the waiter never checked back in. I had to get up to grab another waiter to get our bill.
The food was good. Portions were big. Coffee was nice. But service was a bit of a disappointment. Atmosphere started out very quiet & nice but got loud very quickly.
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
Cuisine, service & ambiance super. Serveurs & serveuses poli & amicaux. Instagramable pour ceux ou celles qui aiment ça. Un petit shot de santé avant les plats on adore ça! Je recommande 👍🏻
My sister & I enjoyed the brunch, it was a great place to celebrate my sister's birthday. The food was excellent. The only thing that I was disappointed, why I gave 3 for service is due to the fact that they did not serve a cake with candle for my sister to blow. I indicated on my reservation that it was a special occasion. Worst part is we saw that they served candles to blow at other tables. This was a big miss!
