Un très beau & bon restaurant pour bruncher. Les plats sont très bien réalisés avec un assaisonnement à la pointe. Gros coup de coeur pour le fois gras & sa sauce crémeuse qui vous fera saliver.
Le restaurant est très propre, le service est parfait, très aimable. Je recommande vivement avec votre moitié ou autre amis.

J'ai récemment mangé au Passé Composé, & l'expérience a été globalement très agréable. Certes, l'attente pour être installés a été un peu longue... mais cela en valait largement la peine au final !

Notre serveur Arnault a été particulièrement sympathique & professionnel. Très attentif sans être envahissant ce qui a vraiment contribué à l'ambiance chaleureuse dans le restaurant qui était autrement plein à craquer ! Côté cuisine, c'était délicieux, la moelle osseuse m'a particulièrement plu, très savoureuse. Mes copines ont également beaucoup apprécié leurs plats. Nous nous sommes régalées.

Le pain doré était à tomber, trop bon, & le grilled cheese était lui aussi excellent. Chaque plat était généreux & TRÈS gourmand. La nourriture nous as rappelé le WoodPecker 47, l'un de nos spots brunch favoris. Bref entre la qualité du service & celle de nos plats, l'attente initiale a été vite oubliée.

Une très belle adresse que je recommande sans hésiter, on comprend bien pourquoi le restaurant était blindé !

I saw so many recommendations on social media to come to Le Passé Composé for brunch but I was left incredibly disappointed. Right off the bat, upon making reservations, we had to wait over 15 minutes to be seated when the restaurant was not even full. Once seated, our waiter was very passive aggressive & unaccommodating. Many of the dishes were unavailable to eat. I wanted to order the gaspor grilled cheese without the bacon because the other grilled cheese had brussels sprouts which I explicitly told the waiter I really did not like. The waiter very defensively told me'the chef doesn't want to make you a grilled cheese without the bacon. just order the mushroom grilled cheese-you won't taste the brussels sprouts.' Needless to say, I got burnt toast with brussels sprouts & a drizzle of cheese-a flavourless joke of a grilled cheese. Not to mention it took over 40 MINUTES to be served the food & all of it came cold!! My boyfriend asked if his meat dish could be made without dairy products & the waiter rudely replied that'he can't just change the chef's dishes how he pleases.' Super pretentious service for mediocre food & preposterous prices. Would not suggest this place unless you feel like being talked down to & waste your month's rent on dishes that a toddler can make.

J'y ai pris un brunch le week-end dernier & j'ai vraiment beaucoup apprécié l'expérience. Les plats étaient savoureux, généreux & bien présentés. Le rapport qualité-prix est excellent. Mention spéciale à notre serveuse, Claire, qui a été particulièrement accueillante, attentionnée & pleine d'humour, son service a vraiment rendu le moment encore plus agréable.

Ça fait des années que je vais dans ce brunch, & ce même quand ils étaient encore dans le village. C'est un des meilleurs brunch à Montréal selon moi en terme de goût. Les portions sont assez généreuse dependement du plat choisi.
Il y a beaucoup de monde le weekend donc il faut réserver en avance.
Par contre les prix ont beaucoup augmenté & continuent d'augmenter. C'est très cher pour ce que c'est. Petit détail avant ils servaient du café filtre à volonté & ils ont malheureusement arrêté ce format récement.

Très bon mais très cher environ 115 dollars un brunch pour deux (deux assiettes, un smoothie un cafe, sans d'accompagnement, sans mimosas)

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.
