I really enjoyed eating at this place. The food is carefully thought out & the ambiance of the restaurant was great overall. We had the poached eggs with bone marrow & the maritimes one & both had their distinct flavour. The bone marrow had a generous portion & the maritime one too! However, the star of the show was the panko french toast. It was easily one of the best french toast I had. The texture of the panko just gives it its wow factor! The only dissapointment I had was that when we asked our new plates to be replaced since they were dirty , the waiter that we asked for (which was not our waiter) took them & threw the new plates back to us. Overall I would still recommend this place for the panko french toast that is amazing!

Food is great but they seem have staff shortage problem, only 2 servers with full capacity. Come & try the signature French toast & foie gras with 2 poached eggs. It was delicious! The only one I don't like is the strawberry smoothie is too sweet, they added yoghurt. However, Will be back again to try other dishes.

Was recommended this brunch gem by a friend & wowzer! Loved this place! A reservation should be made as it’ll make life much easier as there was a very long line-up but resos helped. Very good service. We had the Maritimes Poached Egg, which was exceptional & a definite must-try! Lots of street parking around the neighborhood but took us time during the weekend.

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 🍸

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!

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!
