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.

Really great brunch spot. It's on the fancier side in terms of atmosphere, service & price. Quite a hefty price for brunch but it was worth it. The champêtre (mushroom & pork) poached eggs were amazing 10/10. Would order again. Lamb sandwich was also amazing. They unfortunately didn't have any soup so that was a bummer, we had to settle for the potatoes which weren't that good. The coffee was a bit lukewarm, would have liked it much hotter. The seating was also a bit crammed but I guess they need to maximize tables for their business

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

Poached egg with bone marrow might just be the best meal I've ever had in my life. Had a large group & service was fantastic.

The wait time was significantly longer than expected, we waited an hour for the food to arrive. When the food finally arrived, I was particularly disappointed with the foie gras poached egg dish. The portion size was surprisingly small for the price. As other reviews said, half the amount for same price.

Beautiful new location. The food is good however it is more expansive. For the same price as the previous location, they don't serve 2 poached eggs anymore. Only 1 for 40$ & no fruit on the side. I'd recommend the grilled cheese as the portion looks bigger.

I came to Le Passé Composé for lunch a while ago & tried their 2 Foie Gras Poached Eggs Benedict. The atmosphere was chill & relaxing & the server was quite friendly. The benedict was really good in terms of flavour, texture, overall food ratio/balance, nicely poached eggs, & good turnip/potato. Trying Foie Gras for the first time was interesting as well & the foie gras complimented the food. I would go there again for the food again but it may be better for couples as the dish can feel a bit overwhelming or greasy near the end. Overall, I'd give the experience 8.8/10

The best brunch in mtl ! It's worth the wait. I recommend going early as there's always a line. The foie gras poached eggs is delicious & very filling. Brioche bread, poached goose eggs, grade "A" foie gras (Rougié), foie gras sauce, onion jam, prosciutto chips, poppy seeds, arugula sprouts, honey-glazed turnips. It's so rich, so good. Their panko French toast is also a great dish. Highly recommend.
