One of the best French toast I've ever had in my life

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.

This was the first time returning after Le Passé Composé moved. Food was still amazing. Service started well, but declined during our visit. Newly ordered drinks were forgotten/ delayed & it took forever to receive the bill, even though we reminded the staff.
The new design for itself is nice, but when you know the former place, it completely lost its French bistro charm.

🦆 Foie Gras - Absolutely amazing! Melt-in-your-mouth texture, rich & silky - this one's a must-try. ✨

🦴 Bone Marrow - Would skip. Way too oily for my taste - just not worth it.

🍞 French Toast - Deep-fried, slightly greasy but hits that comfort food vibe. Not bad, just not exciting.

👀 Spotted some dishes from Harbour at the next table - looked pretty good! Might check them out next time. 👌

I was a big fan of the original spot & finally got to try this updated space - it's different in feel but still delivers on flavour. We had the Bagel Passé Composé (with fried avocado & smoked salmon), the Rustic plate with Gaspor pork & wild mushrooms, & of course, the iconic panko-crusted French toast. The textures & presentation were spot on, & service was quick & friendly. It's clear they've elevated their menu without losing the soul of what made Passé Composé a Montreal brunch legend. Will definitely return!

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 😇😇
