Le Passé Composé

5.0

Le Passé Composé is one of the most decadent brunches I've had in my life - & for a very reasonable price. & what I also loved was the laid-back & chill vibe of the restaurant itself.

I really only went for the foie gras poached eggs. The foie gras was nicely cooked & the sauce that they made was incredibly creamy & not too heavy/fatty. The onion jam & turnips were also nice additions for you to make a perfect bite, with extra textures & flavor. For the actual poached eggs, they were perfectly runny LOL. The brioche buns were also buttery & airy, & WAY better than the American's sad excuse of the thing they serve eggs Benedict on.

The panko french toast was also so good- i didnt know how much the panko changed French toast, but it did open my eyes. The toast was not soggy at all, & the panko added a nice extra crisp for texture. The caramelized pears were well cooked, not mushy, & deliciously slightly cinnamon-y.

I would definitely share the foie gras poached eggs, as it would've been too much for one person (have u ever tried eatin too much foie gras? Ur arteries start crying. plus u can try more of the menu!)

In love with this place. Best poached eggs I've had in my life. On the pricier side for a brunch place, but the taste & the quality ingredients makes it worth it. Great service. They alao have some nice morning cocktails 🍸

Very good bunch. We ordered Foie Gras Poached Eggs & French toast. My four old school friends from US were impressed.

The waiting for our food was just overwhelming,I saw this restaurant in Ig & I thought the concept was different but honestly I was expecting more.I ordered some Benedict eggs & the brioche felt like a piece of salted cake instead of bread(I guess is the only way to make it look gigantic),I did not finish my plate because it was just too
Much.They should focus on flavour rather than looks & portions.I don't think I'll come back,but I have to say the place has a cute terrace .

Excellent brunch spot. Poached egg plates are huge & could be shared by 2 people with normal appetites.

We were very disappointed. According to reviews it's an excellent place for brunch. However we went as a family & frankly... nope. The service was excellent, but the food was passable at best. I ordered the Tartiflette, my plate was cold, the food was luke-warm, the "caramelized" onions were mostly raw, the cheese was only partly melted which made for a gelatinous mess. The only well executed item on the plat was the egg. Honestly the composition of the dish was a bit of a mess, with too many ingredients without a single one being able to shine. Add to that that it's (by a lot) the most expensive brunch plate I've ever had, so I was expecting a LOT better. Big disappointment. Très déçu. Selon les critiques c'est un excellent resto. Mais nous y sommes allé en famille & franchement...non. Le service était excellent, mais la nourriture était passable, au plus. J'ai commandé la tartiflette, mon assiete était froide, le contenu était tiède, les oignons étaient un peu cru, le fromage n'était pas complètement fondu. La seule chose bien exécuté était l'oeuf. Honnêtement même si l'assiete avait été bien préparée, le met demeure une composition un peu malhabile, avec trop d'élements sans en avoir un seul qui domine. C'est l'assiete de brunch la plus dispendieuse que je n'ai jamais vu & pour ce prix, je m'attendais à beaucoup, beaucoup mieux.

Slow service.....foie gras poached eggs & bone marrow are both too heavy. We couldn't finish. French toast & crumble crispy are good

We made a reservation & were seated as soon as we arrived. Drink service was a bit slow but it was to be expected as they were busy. Drinks & brunch dishes were delicious. We had poached egg froie gras & panko French toast, both were exceptional. Service was friendly & atmosphere was nice. Highly recommend!

Got a recommendation to check out this joint on our trip to Montreat. We were able to get a booking & the place did not disappoint. With the ambiancr, the sevice & most importantly, the food! They were all excellet. We got the 2 Country Poached Egg & 2 Poached Eggs Foie Gras & French Toast for my daughter on their kids menu. We were surprised with serving size as they were huge & most importantly delish!

A couple of bites from our full experience review -
"La Passe Compose was positioned as something a bit less touristy & very much Quebecois-French oriented, ideal for brunch."
"Our Rural Poached Egg dish came with parsley, brioche, some pesto, oyster & mini shiitakes mushroom. A massive boost of flavor was provided by smoked shoulder ham in the porcini sauce."
