The service here is amazing! Our waiter was attentive, friendly, & helpful. The food presentation was great & it was delicious. I highly recommend coming to this spot for a nice brunch meet up with a friend.
I had a great first impression of this restaurant. At the beginning, I was served by two female servers who were both friendly, attentive, & genuinely welcoming. Although there was a misunderstanding with my order, they noticed the issue very quickly because they paid close attention to every customer, & they resolved it promptly.
Later, I believe one of them went on break & a male server took over. Unfortunately, the quality of the service changed completely. He walked around the restaurant without paying attention to customers, making it nearly impossible to get his attention when I needed assistance. I had to walk to the counter myself to ask for help. It seemed like the staff only wanted to deliver the food as quickly as possible & then stand behind the counter.
What disappointed me the most was when he brought me the bill. Without making any eye contact or saying a word, he simply dropped it onto my table. The bill fell onto the floor, & he didn't even notice until another customer pointed it out. Only then did he come back to pick it up. I found this extremely rude & disrespectful.
Throughout my meal, I had no interaction with him, so I honestly don't understand why I was treated this way.
The food was delicious, but the poor service left such a bad impression that I would not return, nor would I recommend this restaurant to others.
We stopped by Janine Café in Verdun for brunch, & it turned out to be one of the best café experiences we've had in Montreal.
The food was beautifully presented, but what really impressed me was the quality of the sauces. Every dish was well balanced, rich without being too heavy, & the sauces elevated the entire meal. You can tell the kitchen pays attention to the small details.
The service was exceptional. Our server Mr. Hamza was genuinely warm, attentive, & thoughtful throughout the meal. My daughter ordered a burger, & before it arrived, he politely asked if she planned to eat it with her hands. After she said yes, he immediately brought over extra napkins without us even asking. It's such a small gesture, but it shows how much they care about the customer experience.
Another thoughtful touch: I noticed a lady at the next table with a small handbag & nowhere to put it. The staff brought over a small handbag stand so she didn't have to leave it on the floor. They also checked on every table more than once to make sure everyone was enjoying their meal, without ever being intrusive.
Great food, beautiful presentation, outstanding sauces, & service that truly goes above & beyond. Janine Café absolutely deserves its excellent reputation. I'll definitely be back & would happily recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable brunch in Verdun.

Ok, this place was so good :) The service was incredibly friendly & attentive. There was a mix-up with my order, & they even brought me a cinnamon brioche as a thoughtful gesture, which was greatly appreciated. Special thanks to Janique & the entire team for being so welcoming.
The sandwich was delicious & well-balanced (even if a bit messy to eat!). The breaded chicken, pepper jelly, & salad were all perfectly executed & worked really well together.
The decor is a bit on the heavier side aesthetically (similar to its sister restaurant, Regine), but that's purely a matter of personal taste.
I left feeling very satisfied & even willing to give Regine a second chance because of how positive this experience was. I would definitely come back & would happily recommend this place!
Fantastic place! Janique was also super attentive & friendly!
We had :
Chic croissant - I have never had pulled ham & it was sooooo tasty & soft - everything was fresh with exquisite flavors!
Gros jambon - the texture of the ham was smooth & buttery
Ouef & bouef - the sauce was fantastic & caramelized onions were delicious
Went with my friend to celebrate her bday. Such a lovely little place with a picture-worthy vibe & decor. & the service is attentive & personable.
Note: they don't take reservations, & the wait time varies depending on the day/ time.
I have a few comments about the food, but I
Would firstly like to comment on the EXCEPTIONAL service & atmosphere. We went early on a Sunday, around 10am, so we fortunately didn't have to wait to be seated! I really appreciated that they had ample staff to accommodate the high volume of clientele. Once we were seated we were given a shot glass of the juice of the day (Basil, mango orange juice) which was delicious. Our server Janique was cheery & helpful, she was attentive & we never had to waive her down. It was an absolute pleasure to be served by her, & the manager (a young man), was very present on the floor lending additional support to his servers, & had also cleared our table at one a point, & was very kind.
The food came moments after we ordered which was great. We ordered the Boeuf & Oeuf, which said on the menu that it came with smashed potatoes & an English muffin (it was an eggs Benedict dish). I suppose there was maybe an issue with translation from French to English on the menu regarding potatoes, but smashed potatoes are different than mashed potatoes, & the dish came with MASHED potatoes. The English muffin was served ON TOP of the mashed potatoes, topped with the poached egg & pulled beef. I found it strange, that instead of the English muffin being sliced, it was two whole English muffin buns 🤔 I don't know if it was ever toasted, but it was soggy, & being on top of mashed potatoes, I found it a really interesting combination, of mushy textures & nothing to break it up. I expected crispy SMASHED potatoes.
The other item we ordered was the fried chicken sandwich, it was ok, the chicken was a little over cooked, & I had a hard time detecting the harissa in the mayo.
The restaurant itself is decorated beautifully, has a great ambiance & feels very well maintained & clean. I was very impressed by the service & the restaurant itself, less by the food. Maybe it was just an off day in the kitchen!
Best brunch we've had in forever! Everything was so delicious & the staff were so friendly & attentive. Very kid friendly, they brought out cookies the kids could decorate with icing & sprinkles, crayons & they gave the kids a little toy surprise out of a treasure chest at the end of the meal. So magical & fun! We will be back!
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.
