I visited this restaurant for the first time today & let me tell you it was amazing! The terrace is absolutely beautiful, very nice views. I ordered the Mediterranean grilled cheese & it did not disappoint, def top 3 best grilled cheeses I've ever had. I'd also like give an extra thanks to Alex my server. He was incredibly attentive & great at his job! 100% recommend 😃

Good food (minus a burnt croque monsieur), bad service (hour wait for food, came out bit by bit, forgot sides). Tip reflected that, which the staff attempted to shame us into increasing. Wild experience. Enjoyed my Portuguese grilled cheese, but $32 menu price was a little steep. Tasty though.

An incredible brunch venue with great decor & a great staff that is always on its feet 😇 We made reservations & were seated right away & started with latte & French vanilla milkshake ❤? We then moved onto Strawberry shortcake waffle as well as Gaspor Grilled Cheese & wow ❤?❤? Every bite was incredibly delicious & made with so much attention to taste & texture ❤?❤? The menu is very extensive & we cannot wait to come back to this 11/10 restaurant & try other food items with family & friends 😇😇 UPDATE: Went for brunch again & had the cafe latte, mango & lime smoothie, foie de gras, & rustic & were so delicious ❤?❤? As always great service & great food 😇😇

OMG OMG OMG!!! Let me just SCREAM about this place because I am still emotionally recovering from what just happened to my taste buds. First of all, I don't even like writing reviews, but I would literally sue myself if I didn't shout about this to the internet.

I walked in & immediately knew something cosmic was about to happen. I ordered an iced matcha latte, thinking,'Sure, whatever, I've had a thousand of these before.' HONEY, NO. This was a GREEN ELIXIR FROM THE HEAVENS. If a unicorn cried tears of happiness into a cup, it would taste like this. OMG OMG. I considered grabbing the barista by the collar & demanding answers, but I had to compose myself because it was about to get WEIRDER.

Next up, grilled cheese. You think you've had grilled cheese? YOU HAVEN'T. Not until you've had THIS grilled cheese, which is the literal embodiment of comfort, nostalgia, & dreams, all melted into one perfect sandwich. I had to check if my soul was still inside my body. I'm not religious but I almost started speaking in tongues, that's how deep it hit. OMG.

& THEN-get this-even their WATER tasted like it was filtered through the clouds of Mount Olympus, with a hint of existential joy. I never thought I'd be raving about H2O, but here I am, one sip away from writing a poem about water. I started doubting my whole life: what other liquids have been LYING to me all this time?

This is not a restaurant, it's a portal. I would sell my left shoe to eat here every day. OMG OMG. If you haven't been, RUN-don't walk. If you see someone in the corner weeping softly, it's probably me, waiting for another grilled cheese.

11/10, would ascend again

Attente des plats de plus d'une heure
Nous avons recu nos boissons lorsque les plats étaient presque fini
Erreur sur notre commande
Bref... service & attitude du manager vraiment à revoir.
C'est dommage parce que les grill cheese sont plutôt bons

loved the atmosphere & the food. We tried the poached egg with lamb, grilled cheese, & French toast, all were amazing. The staff was also very friendly. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in Montreal

Nous voulions essayer les brunchs du Passé Composé depuis un moment déjà. Pour nous, le'hype' n'a pas rendu justice aux plats, bien que c'est bon. Le bagel au saumon est décevant, rien de wow ou spécial. Le bagel était sec & pas grillé, difficile à manger proprement. Le grilled-cheese avec bacon & fromage à raclette est très savoureux, certainement un des bons plats. Bon rapport qualité-prix pour les mimosas en prenant une bouteille de prosecco. Beau décor, mais selon moi il y a mieux pour des brunchs gourmands à bons prix à Montréal.
