Food & indoor decor was great! Love their mushroom saucing in the brunch items. Only downside is different servers kept coming back for our orders, when we specifically asked for more time to translate the menu; & when I asked about my order that took way longer than the others, the waitress gave me an annoyed look without words.

I came here after seeing Le Passé Composé heavily recommended on social media & marketed as one of Montreal's best brunch spots. Unfortunately, the experience did not live up to the hype.
Our group all ordered the foie gras. I initially wanted to order the pancakes with maple syrup, nuts, & sugar, but they were already sold out. While the waitresses were polite & attentive, the food itself was disappointing. The foie gras portion was extremely small & felt more like a piece of bread topped with a poached egg than a true foie gras dish. On top of that, the food arrived almost cold.
Even though the wait time was reasonable, the quality-to-price ratio is simply not there. I paid $57 (including tip) for the foie gras & an iced matcha latte, which I would not recommend at all. it was about 90% milk & 10% matcha, & once mixed, it tasted like flavorless green milk.
Overall, I would suggest saving your trip & going to another brunch spot, such as Allô Mon Coco. While the food may be less'exotic,' the quality & quantity is noticeably better for the exact same price or even less.

Bon endroit pour le brunch. J'ai pris un grilled-cheese avec frites , la portion était copieuse. La salle est joliment décorée & chaleureuse. Possibilité de réservation en ligne appréciée. Bémol : nous étions très proches de la table voisine.

I went there for brunch. I ordered the ÉVEIL D'ASPERGES, & it was absolutely delicious! The sauce had a unique flavor, & the presentation was nice
My friend ordered the croissant sandwich, which was just average. Overall service was great & atmosphere was cozy & beautiful!

Nous avons passé un excellent moment pour le brunch avec mon amie. L'endroit est beau & très bien décoré. Ce n'est pas trop bruyant. Le service est très agréable & rapide. La nourriture est vraiment excellente !!!
Les prix sont très raisonnables pour la qualité.

Bonne nourriture mais pas le même concept & ambiance que l'ancien passé composé. Les prix sont aussi beaucoup plus élevé. Pas de café filtre à volonté... la base de toute vraie place de brunch!!

I went on a Saturday for brunch around 10am & was able to get a table for 2 easily but around 10:40, the host was notifying people that they could not fit them in until much later.
The food was AMAZING! I ordered the croque monsieur & it was perfection. My partner ordered the rustic poached egg & it was also amazing.
Our waitress was very nice but the service was a little slow but it allowed us to enjoy the beautiful atmosphere a little bit longer! I will definitely be back when I visit Montreal again.

Magnifique endroit pour un brunch entre amis ou en famille.
La nourriture était absolument excellente & le choix très varié.
Nous avons mangé du sucré & du salé. Mention spéciale au grilled cheese Gaspor, au pain doré & aux crêpes au caramel.
Nous avons adoré notre expérience. Le service était également parfait.
Je recommande vivement cette belle adresse. Tant pour la qualité de la nourriture, du service que du prix!

I took my daughter & her 3 roommates for brunch last weekend & the food & service & room was perfect.

Brunch : Nous avons été assez déçu concernant la bouffe. Les portions sont assez petites. Malheureusement, il n'y a avait plus de jus d'orange frais à 11h pour un Mimosa. La serveuse nous à proposé un jus d'orange commercial, moins bon & facturé au prix d'un jus frais. Dommage.

I loved it here, perfect spot for Sunday brunch. I would definitely go back.

Best patio brunch ever. The lox & cream cheese bagel was stacked high with smoked salmon, mousse-like cream cheese & omg breaded & fried avocado. Matchstick frites came with house made mayo. & the French toast was delicately but deeply fried, with mini jogs of Quebec maple syrup. The people watching was a bonus floor show. Highly recommended, but not cheap.

I'd been meaning to try this place for over a year, so expectations were high. Finally made it in for brunch & went straight for the Eggs Benedict-hard to go wrong with a classic.
Except, somehow, they did. The poached egg came out fully cooked, yolk & all. I actually sat there wondering if Montreal had its own version of'poached,' & even double-checked the menu to see if this was some intentional twist. Nope. Just a regular Benny.
They offered to replace the egg, which is fair, but still-how do you charge this much for an Eggs Benedict & not get the poached egg right?
Kind of a letdown, especially after looking forward to it for so long.

I came for brunch & had Asparagus Awakening (poached on brioche w grilled asparagus, veggie salad, roasted tomatoes w parsley & hollandaise w siphon, pickled onions & black olive salt) & it was delicious. My wife enjoyed her Mediterranean Grilled Cheese & my friends liked their Bagel Passé Composé & Tartine Marinière. I finished off with an Affogato which was one of my favourites I've had. The menu is a bit on the pricier side but not unwarranted given the more curated menu options & nice atmosphere. Overall a really solid more upscale brunch spot!

Disappointing to say the least. I was shocked at how high the prices were for brunch plates. & the taste did not justify the price. I finished my food because it was $35 before tax for one piece of the foie gras toast, but there was way too much going on, too much garnish, the flavours did not melt together & the dishes were quite strange & lacking seasoning. Not to mention we were seated so close to the people next to us it fell uncomfortable. Overall would not go back. & if you after a more classic brunch & fair prices, definitely do not go.

Absolutely disappointed! From the moment we walked in, the restaurant smelled like eggs not what you expect from a place with such a strong reputation in Montréal.
I ordered my dish without meat, yet it arrived covered in meat. After chasing down servers, my plate was taken back. While waiting, we had to share the other plate at the table. When mine finally came, it was cold, unappealing, & the egg that should have been soft & runny was overcooked. I could barely eat a few bites of the brioche.
We were offered a few items as a gesture, but that doesn't make up for what was supposed to be a pleasant, refined brunch that turned into a very poor experience. In the end, we still paid for two plates: one we shared while waiting, & one that was practically inedible. No apology, no real care. Not the level of quality you expect from a place like this in Montréal.

Perfect sunday! le brunch etait délicieux & excellent service! Le suiteur Josh était vraiment gentil & attentionné!
Nadine
Great food, great service! Really enjoyed our meals. It was a little more than I would normally want to spend on a brunch, but it was higher quality than I was expecting. Would go back for brunch!
Coco
La lenteur du service du brunch était inacceptable & ce, malgré le fait que le restaurant n'était pas très occupé au moment de notre arrivée. Nous avons attendu plus d'une heure pour recevoir notre nourriture. Un serveur, qui n'était pas assigné à notre table, a servi mon plat à une autre personne qui est arrivée 45 minutes après nous. Cette personne n'avait même pas commandé le même plat que moi. Par politesse, mes compagnes ont attendu une douzaine de minutes pour la réception de mon plat avant de manger. On a reçu des pains dorés complémentaires en guise de compensation, mais ceux-ci nous ont tous rendus malades, ce qui a ruiné nos plans pour l'après-midi. Malheureusement, nous ne pouvons recommander cet établissement. De nos jours, les sorties au restaurant coutent assez cher, nous nous attendions à un meilleur service.
