J'ai pris un toast aux oignons caramélisés, oeuf poché & laitue. C'est bon mais ce n'est pas si original. C'est ce genre de plat qu'on peut faire chez soi. Ça a coûté 25$ , le tip proposé était 18% comme au downtown..
Par contre le gâteau su moment était très très bon (brioche à la cannelle!)
Bon resto globalement mais mon expérience ne me donne pas forcément le goût d'y retourner.
& interesting take on a cinnamon bun, it was more pull-apart like a croissant which was quite satisfying to eat. If you are are looking for a classic cinnamon bun you will be disappointed (especially by the royal icing which is quite sweet & dry) but expectations aide I would eat it again. The sourdough bread was also unxpectedly mellow in flavour but had a phenomenal texture & made an excellent grilled cheese sandwich.
Butterblume.
Je m'attendais à un vrai effet wow… & il n'est jamais venu.
Tout est correct, propre, bien exécuté. Les assiettes sont soignées, les produits semblent de qualité, la présentation est jolie. Mais justement : tout reste dans le « bien ». Rien ne dépasse, rien ne marque, rien ne crée cette petite signature qui fait qu'on comprend pourquoi l'endroit se démarque.
L'accueil donne le ton : un bonjour du bout des lèvres, un peu froid, presque distrait. On ne se sent pas réellement attendu, encore moins accueilli. Ça enlève déjà une partie de l'expérience brunch.
Le service, lui, est poli & gentil - rien à dire sur l'attitude - mais d'une lenteur qui casse complètement le rythme. Entre les étapes, on attend beaucoup, sans vraiment de suivi ni de présence. On finit par décrocher.
Au final, ce n'est pas mauvais. C'est même bien. Mais pour un endroit dont on entend beaucoup parler, je m'attendais à plus de personnalité, plus d'attention, plus de chaleur.
Il manque ce petit quelque chose qui transforme un brunch en expérience.
Pas ébloui par la place. Je n'ai pas compris l'engouement de mes amis à venir là. Très bruyant, bon plat mais cher pour le peu de quantité, service pas si nice où on semble vous mettre dehors le plus tôt possible, pas de formule brunch pour avoir au moins un café inclus. Venu pour le brunch, je reviendrai pas.
I had a reservation at 1pm, but the restaurant was so busy & hectic that I had to wait another 25m to be seated. Since I was a single person, I was seated at the bar where you can see the kitchen in full view & watch everything be prepared. So while the restaurant looks cool, it was also loud. So it's not a peaceful lunch spot. But it was on a Saturday.
However I found the service to be great, because of the delay they served me a drink & coffee without charge. I found all the staff to be pretty attentive & quick as well.
Overall satisfied with the food. I had a savory & sweet leek & cheese bread-cake, along with a separate plate of gravlax that leaned sour & salty. They paired well together. Most of the menu isn't actually a full main meal, so I'd expect to order 2 different things to feel full & satisfied.
You are getting high quality, fresh & local food. Yes the price is high because that is the cost for fresh real food. The menu changes constantly reflecting whats available & in season. Those complaining about lack of taste,high price & long wait should go eat at large & cheap commercial chains where half the menu is frozen & just needs to be microwaved thus faster service. Butterblume dont ever change.
Le Butterblume has become a regular stop for us on our way into Montréal. Their menu is loooooovely & creative - & the people are great. We like to sit at the bar & watch the pros do their thing. It's fun. But table service is great, too. Go!
