C'était bon dans l'ensemble, mais je trouve ça assez cher pour ce qui est offert. Plusieurs plats viennent sans accompagnement, & il faut souvent les ajouter en extra. Au final, la facture monte vite pour une assiette qui pourrait être plus complète. Dommage, parce que la qualité était quand même au rendez-vous.

Meilleur brunch à Laval & de très loin! Je recommende les oeufs Benedictine à la turque. Servis avec du saumon, c'est tout simplement delicieux! Le service est aussi impécable & le décors est enchanteur! Il y a aussi un comptoir de viennoiserie & de pain à ne pas manquer (venez tôt, ça finit vite). N'oubliez pas réserver, la fils peut être longue!
Update: les oeufs bénédictines à la turque ne sont malheureusement plus sur le menu (bien domage car pour avoir essayer 75% du menu, c'était definitivement le plat plus savoureux, riche en sauveur & original). Plat remplacé par saumon avec oeufs & fromage à la crème aux avocats & salade Niçoise au thon. Quelque peu décevant, 3 maigres morceaux de thon. Le smash burger était cependant delicieux comme à l'habitude.
Update de l'update: encore un changement de menu. Essayé le Smashburger qui s'est avéré un peu sec, le grilled cheese qui était un peu basique & le saumon avec oeuf Bénédictine sans saveur. Franchement déçu aujourd'hui. Je continu A recommander les pâtisseries & les viennoiseries, mais plus le menu brunch.
We went there for brunch. It's the 2nd time we have the chakchouka & it's always as delicious 😋 we also took the egg Benedict with lobster ( it was a limited edition!) & it was delicious! We also had the pancakes! Yummy as usual. It's big portions so if you are not too hungry - get one plate for 2! The atmosphere is great, our waitress was on top of things! Amazing customer service, advice & she was so funny! We had a blast because of her :) The place looks small when you come in but there is a whole other seating area in the back. That's where we sat. We were super comfortable, the tables are not too close to each other so it's kinda great cuz you don't want conversation to mix with other table ( especially when you are a big group). First time I went, I had patries… they have a huge counter of pastries & bread. The croissant, chocolatine & almond croissant were really good. I didn't try their bread yet! The layout & the design is relaxing & comfortable! The only thing I didn't like is the toilets. It's mix men & women… I was really surprised when I came out to wash my hands & found a men next to my daughter washing his hands! Also they don't have lactose free milk for the coffee, it's only vegan options ( oat, almonds, etc.) it's still ok I had the regular milk & the coffee was delicious 😋 it's just my tummy that was upset after! You definitely have to try this place.. if you are the not comfortable mixing toilets with other gender you will have to avoid going to the toilet.
Vous avez une belle enterprise, par contre le véhicule du livreur de patisserie avait des pneu Finit rond & lisse. Je ne sais pas si ce véhicule appartient à votre compagnie, mais le jeune dans la vingtaine qui conduisait le mini van vas se tuer Sur la route. Le pneu est la limite de l'explosion, on ne pourrait pas garder une ligne droite en conduisant sous la pluie.
Il est de votre devoir de garder vos employé en sécurité ou de travailler avec des sous-contractant qui respect un minimum la santé sécurité.
It's a little too fancy for my taste, if you wish to sit down inside, you can only have the à la carte menu, if you want something else, then you'll have to sit at a different long wooden table with people you don't know, & it's quite expensive too. I'm not talking down the concept of the price, but it's just not for me
very good meals prepared with Quebec products. NoPowders no artificial flavors. Everything made from scratch from a beautiful staff with lots of experience
Their bread is amazing it is Made fresh everyday.
Thank you to Marcus & Gianna chef & sous chef
