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.

Consistently amazing experience with cozy & friendly atmosphere, delicious food & great people! Great job guys, well done come every time we're in Montreal & will be back again! Specialty Coffees are so good, this time I tried Peppermint mocha & salted caramel latte, both were the best! 🙏😍

Great coffee & pastries in a nice place with a small terrace outside

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.

My favorite breakfast spot in the city. Great classics, generous portions, excellent coffee, great & professional service. Perfect for business breakfast or lunch, catch up with friends or people watching on the weekend. Inside or outside. Also good takeout options.

We had an excellent brunch at Le Cartet Resto Boutique. We ordered the CANTON, New York-style pancakes, & scrambled eggs - all of which were delicious! Their coffee & smoothies were also fantastic. Despite being Labor Day, the wait was only around 15 minutes, which was quite reasonable. The service was great, & we appreciated the option of both two-person tables & larger communal seating. The attached grocery store is a nice touch, offering pasta & various other items for purchase. A wonderful spot for a relaxed brunch with great food & service! Highly recommended.

A great restaurant in downtown Montreal, that offers an impressive combination of Montreal's French culinary traditions & modern flair. The food quality was excellent, blending classic flavors with contemporary touches. Our server was nice & polite, although the service was a bit slow. The restaurant also sells a wide range of treats, sweets, chocolates, olive oil, jams, wines, & other gourmet items, On the downside, the prices were quite high for brunch, costing us more than 100$ ( us $ for 3 people). Additionally, it seemed like the restaurant was eager to turn tables quickly, as they brought us the bill before we had finished our coffee. Finding parking around noon on weekends was also a challenge, adding to the overall inconvenience.

Best breakfast we had in Montreal & one of the best poached eggs we had in years. Very inspired combination of flavors for the Nordique dish with capers & onions. The fruits were very fresh & the bread was yummy! Cappuccino was exactly how it should be, not too much milk - so we could still taste the good quality coffee. Pancakes were good, but the eggs stole the show.

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.

Really great breakfast food. I had the croissant sandwich & my wife had the salmon benedict, both were excellent. They also have a little coffee stand up front if you just want to grab & go. Highly recommend!

Good coffee, decent food. One of the few non-touristic spots in Old Port.

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

Stylish interior, nice atmosphere & service, food was great. Coffee (important to me) was excellent as well. Had Eggs Benedict. Honestly, you won't regret it.

Upscale restaurant but not too pricey with friendly service. Food was excellent. Large selection of coffees - my Moka noire a l'orange was amazing. Recommended
