Review Summary

Taken together, reviews paint Le Cartet as a cozy and buzzy brunch spot with a broad menu that pleases both adults and families, featuring standout Lac Brome duck confit eggs Benedict, the Nordique option, Canton dishes, generous portions, good coffee and pastries, and a small market that many enjoy. The atmosphere is warm and stylish, with a terrace in good weather, but weekends can be busy and noisy, which can lead to longer waits. Service is usually friendly and efficient, though a few visits note slower or less polished experiences, and some diners feel the prices are high or portions small for the cost. Overall this is seen as a reliable go to for a satisfying breakfast or brunch in Montreal, with many looking forward to returning and recommending it to others.

Great atmosphere, super friendly staff that was clear about setting expectations (kitchen was short staffed so food took longer than usual). The scrambled eggs with asparagus & goat cheese was outstanding.

I've been visiting Le Cartet for years, often choosing it for brunch or lunch due to its proximity to my office. It used to be a reliable spot with good food & coffee. However, my recent experiences have been disappointing.

On my latest visit, I ordered a salmon bagel, expecting a satisfying meal. Instead, I received a dry bagel with four minuscule slices of salmon( about 20g ) & a smear of cream cheese. This underwhelming dish cost me $20 before tax. Adding two lemonades & a coffee brought my total to $58, excluding tax & tip. For such a price, the portion & quality were unacceptable.

While the staff remains friendly & welcoming, providing service with a smile, it doesn't compensate for the declining food quality & inflated prices. It's disheartening to see a place that once offered value & quality now fall short on both fronts.

In the past, dishes like Le Canton were enjoyable, but given the recent downturn, I'm hesitant to return. It's unfortunate to witness such a decline in a place that once held promise.

J'ai adoré le service hyper personnalisé, le café était fantastique, le serveur impeccable & la cuisine respecte les intolérances alimentaires au maximum. Étant intolérant au gluten & au lactose, j'ai eu droit à un grilled cheese au porc effiloché d'un goût exceptionnel. J'aimerais remercier le Cartet pour leur diligence & leur professionnalisme remarquable.

Weird scrambled eggs with cheese- the texture was gross. Very overpriced. Charged extra for pancake syrup- pancakes were dry

I tried the Santé & my wife got the Nordique. Both dishes were very good & I loved the goat cheese pesto on the Santé. Smoked salmon bagel was quite good, although it didn't have a very smoky flavor. While I enjoyed it very much, I have to give it a 4 star for the price (paid $60 CAD before tax for 2 people). It is quite expensive, & prices are getting closer to a more upscale French restaurant, but the ambiance of this restaurant doesn't match a fine dining experience. Many of the tables are long with bench seating shared with other customers. It was very loud as well & hard to hear someone across from you. I still liked the look of the restaurant & the waitress was very friendly, I just think prices should come down a little for what you get.

Went in for a breakfast, a bit "school cafeteria" wibes from seating perspective but food was great (took a pulled pork grilled cheese) & the staff was super friendly. Would definitely go again to check out other breakfast options :)

We really enjoyed this delightful little bistro/market. Our server was delightful. I forgot to take pictures. My scrambled eggs with asparagus & goat cheese was quite delightful. I would do it again for certain. My husband also enjoyed his croissant with ham eggs & cheese. Not much ham on the sandwich tho.

Very delicious breakfast! We tried their pancakes & eggs with asparagus. Both are fresh & delicious! The pancake has a unique flavor of having a strong milk flavor. Not overly sweet. Our friend's grilled cheese with duck confit was delicious too. The vibe was nice & service efficient.

Nice place to grab a simple meal. Ordered a ham & cheese croissant for breakfast. It was well done. You can stop at the coffee bar or have a sit down meal.

Found this place & wooo! The coffees are so good! I picked the "Santé" brunch, the goat cheese pesto was to die for. Service was smooth & so welcoming 😊 Can't recommend enough

Amazing breakfast!! Do not miss this place. I had eggs blended with goat cheese & asparagus & it melted in my mouth. My partner got the pancakes & they were sooooooo gooooood. The graham crumble in the blueberry & maple sauce were just a beautiful & scrumptious touch. Server was excellent. Loved the ambiance. On my way out I acccidentally bought some of their house-made chocolate. One is a gift for me & one is a gift for my mom, if I can stop myself from eating it before I see her.

Everything was phenomenal! The attention to detail was noteworthy. The menu is small, which ensures that each item is perfected. Delicious eggs Benedict (with ridiculously delicious roasted potatoes), as well as a goat cheese/pesto/spinach toast with poached eggs & a dessert of yogurt, granola & fresh fruit. Earl Gray tea served with steamed milk (a small but thoughtful addition for the tea obsessed).

Been there with friends for brunch! Pulled pork grilled cheese was good! The coffee as well! We liked the boutique, grab & go options on this section of Old port, genius!
