Le Passé Composé

3.0

I came here after seeing Le Passé Composé heavily recommended on social media & marketed as one of Montreal's best brunch spots. Unfortunately, the experience did not live up to the hype.
Our group all ordered the foie gras. I initially wanted to order the pancakes with maple syrup, nuts, & sugar, but they were already sold out. While the waitresses were polite & attentive, the food itself was disappointing. The foie gras portion was extremely small & felt more like a piece of bread topped with a poached egg than a true foie gras dish. On top of that, the food arrived almost cold.
Even though the wait time was reasonable, the quality-to-price ratio is simply not there. I paid $57 (including tip) for the foie gras & an iced matcha latte, which I would not recommend at all. it was about 90% milk & 10% matcha, & once mixed, it tasted like flavorless green milk.
Overall, I would suggest saving your trip & going to another brunch spot, such as Allô Mon Coco. While the food may be less'exotic,' the quality & quantity is noticeably better for the exact same price or even less.

Magnifique endroit pour un brunch entre amis ou en famille.
La nourriture était absolument excellente & le choix très varié.
Nous avons mangé du sucré & du salé. Mention spéciale au grilled cheese Gaspor, au pain doré & aux crêpes au caramel.
Nous avons adoré notre expérience. Le service était également parfait.
Je recommande vivement cette belle adresse. Tant pour la qualité de la nourriture, du service que du prix!

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.

La lenteur du service du brunch était inacceptable & ce, malgré le fait que le restaurant n'était pas très occupé au moment de notre arrivée. Nous avons attendu plus d'une heure pour recevoir notre nourriture. Un serveur, qui n'était pas assigné à notre table, a servi mon plat à une autre personne qui est arrivée 45 minutes après nous. Cette personne n'avait même pas commandé le même plat que moi. Par politesse, mes compagnes ont attendu une douzaine de minutes pour la réception de mon plat avant de manger. On a reçu des pains dorés complémentaires en guise de compensation, mais ceux-ci nous ont tous rendus malades, ce qui a ruiné nos plans pour l'après-midi. Malheureusement, nous ne pouvons recommander cet établissement. De nos jours, les sorties au restaurant coutent assez cher, nous nous attendions à un meilleur service.

Heard really good things about this place but we left feeling very disappointed. My salmon bagel plate lacked flavour. It honestly tasted like nothing, it lacked salt & spice. The waiter recommended the bone marrow which was the most expensive item on the menu & I did not like. It tasted a lot like mushrooms & it was not for me. This is more of a pricey place to get brunch & maybe we chose the wrong plates but it was deceiving. We will not be going back...

Passe Composé offers a really nice variety of breakfast & brunch options. The menu is creative & well thought-out, though I personally wished the portions were a bit bigger. The wait was quite long (& it wasn't even a Saturday), so I'd definitely recommend making a reservation. Service could be a little quicker, especially since it's mostly brunch dishes, but overall it's a charming spot worth visiting

Beautiful setting, attentive staff, & food that was both well-presented & delicious. I ordered the mushroom'champêtre' eggs benedict &, as you can see, the presentation was beautiful. The taste matched the look. Without further ado, I recommend it!

OBS: I found it slightly more expensive than it should be, but at least they deliver quality

I would recommend, but they have put too many tables in a small space - my guest had to keep contorting herself in different positions to let people pass, which wasn't ideal when we were trying to eat. I also saw so many people hit their heads on the hanging lampshades… it's not cheap, but it is nice.

Disappointing & Overpriced Brunch Experience

I had high hopes for this place, but it turned out to be a letdown. For a brunch spot with premium prices, the experience felt far from worth it. Service was slow from the start-our food took over 30 minutes to arrive, & one dish didn't hit the table until 45 minutes later. To make matters worse, the food wasn't even hot when it finally came-lukewarm at best.

Ordering coffee? Don't expect any sugar or condiments at the table. You'll have to specifically request the exact number of sugar packets you want, which feels oddly stingy for a place charging this much. Table turnover & cleaning were just as sluggish. All in all, the service & attention to detail just didn't match the price point. Wouldn't recommend unless you have time (& patience) to spare.

If you're looking for a brunch spot that serves delicious food with impeccable service, Le Passe Compose is a must-visit! Everything we tried was absolutely delicious.

A special shout-out to Maira, who provided exceptional service. She was friendly, attentive, & really made our experience special. Her recommendations were spot on.

Highly recommend it for anyone looking to enjoy a great brunch in a cozy & welcoming environment!

Très beau restaurant! J'ai pris l'oeuf poché maritime + smoothie à la manque, & mon amie l'oeuf poché au foie gras.

Le restaurant est bien connu à Montréal, donc c'était assez occupé. Je recommande de faire une réservation pour vous assurer d'avoir des places!
