Une expérience exceptionnelle ! Nico, Zach & Beatriz sont incroyablement accueillants, attentionnés & professionnels. L'ambiance est chaleureuse & on se sent tout de suite à l'aise.
Mais surtout, un immense bravo à André, le chef talentueux qui a préparé tout le coquetel japonais - un vrai délice, plein de saveurs, de créativité & de finesse. 🍣✨
Je recommande vivement cet endroit - un vrai coup de coeur ! 💫
Invitée au pré-cocktail vendredi prochain ! Venez découvrir, c'est ouvert au public ! 🍸

Service was good, but the food was a miss for me. 😅
First with the positives, I thought my coffee was alright. I liked it fine. 🙂
I got a burger, the patty was a little overcooked & dry. For the price it's a bit disappointing. I think it would've been pretty good otherwise. But it just wasn't up to par.
The mayo was really salty for some reason. 😅 Idk if it's just me, but it tasted at least twice as salty as regular mayo to me. (I used a little to-go MAG branded mayo packet I had laying around in the fridge to dip the fries instead of the one that came with. It's just so salty. 😅)
I find the fries a bit on the saltier side for my liking too, but that's just me. They were actually pretty good otherwise! I like the texture.
Overall not impressed, but maybe I just got unlucky today. Anyways, no shade towards anyone. Thanks for the food. ✌?
Super petit resto de quarter. Belle selection de plat pour le brunch, concentrés sur les produits locaux. Le personnel est très sympathique & attentionné. Les café glaces sont vraiment excellents & les grilles cheeses sont absolument décadent!! À essayer!!

The only issue I have had with this place is that the music is sometimes a little too loud, which makes it difficult for Conversation or even if you are a student & need to do online classes to concentrate.
Other than that, there are the size of beverages that are not accurate. They have what they like to call, medium, & large sizes. However, it is simply the equivalent of small & medium only.
The small size is very small & the large is simple plain regular size mug.
I need to try their evening, beverages & cocktails however, I am not reluctant because of the size of their drinks & the prices they advertise
Other than that, it is a cute spot hdden away.
