Le Cartet Resto boutique is a beloved brunch and breakfast hub in Old Montreal, offering a warm, lively atmosphere, friendly service, and a broad menu that balances hearty, indulgent dishes with healthier options.

The setting accommodates both indoor and outdoor seating with a cozy, vintage feel, and it tends to be busy on weekends but remains a reliable place to start the day.

We were 2 for brunch midweek. Brunch menu is limited but they did honor my request for the'Sante' option off the online maps menu. Generous portions & lots to love! Friendly, efficient service in a classic setting. Highly recommended.
While the food here is decent, the bustling tourist district comes at a premium, reflected not just in the prices but in the experience.
The toast served with Canton was not warm & soft, & the avocado on toast, pre-packaged rather than freshly mashed, fell short of expectations. Despite these, the charming ambiance of the place still manages to make the visit worthwhile.
We went here on Thanksgiving day 2025, Food & warm drinks were great, all the staff cared about the quality of the food & service they were providing, Benjamin was our server & he made sure we had an amazing food & experience!
Overall, an amazing restaurant for breakfast. The prices felt slightly higher than most other places however the quality was AMAZING. The portion sizes were good, we attended several times over our visit. I would recommend
Le brunch a été parfait ! L'accueil était chaleureux & le service excellent. Tous nos plats ont été servis rapidement & nous ont beaucoup plu. Le restaurant propose une belle variété de cafés. Nous allons certainement répéter l'expérience. Il y a des tables à l'intérieur ainsi qu'une agréable terrasse extérieure.
I ordered scrambled eggs with asparagus, which included bacon (i was told by my waiter), potatoes & a small fruit cup, along with a decaf latte.
The eggs were served runny & cold, the latte was luke warm at best & the bacon was a 5,50 addition.
I was by myself & was in the restaurant for more than an hour. The young man who waited on me was inattentive, slow & i had to ask for my check 3 times.
Worst breakfast experience, EVER!!!
Stopped in for late brunch around 2:00 pm & the restaurant was calmer with not many people seated. I tried the'Toscan' with an iced latte, & the meal was delicious. I'm looking at photos of it right now & looking forward to the next time. Service, decor & ambiance is very laid back & homey to me. Will definitely be back.
j'étais là aujourd'hui j'aime ce café j'aime
le service mais ma remarque c'est la quantité dans l'assiette je demande 4 oeufs & j'ai l'impression que j'ai seulement deux ,& c'est pas la 1er fois que ça m'arrive j'allais avec ma famille presque chaque semaine, une fois on m'a dit que les oeufs sont petits ,aujourd'hui j'ai commandé deux rôties qui m'ont coûter 5 dollars & pourtant ca coûte 3 dollars dans le menu pain compagne, lorsqu'on le prend avec un repas complet,& j'ai recu 3 morceaux demi rôties écrasé s après la serveuse m'a ajouté une autre ,
je ne sais si le cuisinier ne sait pas juger les quantités dans les assiestes
One of the best breakfasts I've ever had. The pancakes were delicious & the Lake Brome was perfect. Our potatoes were excellent too. Service was great & I'd highly recommend going here.
