Nadia & I were mid-mission when we found ourselves in Montreal, waiting for critical information from the asset. The Canadian winter, though milder than Mother Russia's, still had a sharp bite, so we sought refuge in a quaint local café. Inside, we were greeted by a spirited chef named Sara-or perhaps it was Sarah, or even Sarra-who enthusiastically introduced us to a dish called "potato pancakes." Nadia & I exchanged puzzled glances. Potatoes, our national staple, featured prominently in the many beige dishes of our childhoods, yet never had they been presented to us as pancakes. Intrigued, we ordered our first-ever plate. With just a couple of bites, we were struck by a profound realization: our lives as agents, defined by high-stakes missions & endless sacrifices, had deprived us of simple joys like this. These unassuming pancakes, golden & crisp, were a revelation. By the time the plate was empty & our stomachs content, we had made a life-altering decision. We resolved to leave the mission behind & return to civilian life. Yes, the potato pancakes were that good. I highly recommend this café.

Went there for brunch. The food is very bland & underwhelming. Doesn't really match the beautiful description on the menu. The omelet was very thin & oily & the mushrooms were barely seasoned. The potato Pancakes were burnt & oily & the bacon tasted like microwaved pre-cooked bacon. The London fog was way too sweet you could barely taste the tea or other ingredients. Portions are small & quality is low for the price. It also took 30 min to get our food. Do not recommend.
