The most perfect brunch spot to visit whenever you're in Montreal. This is by far one of my favourite spots for brunch. I went a long time ago, back in 2021, & I was so happy to have gone again since they relocated to Old Montreal. The exterior is this new building, but inside, it feels like you're in an old building with rustic textures & colours. The ambiance is so lovely & it truly is the best place for delicious brunch items & taking cute pictures too!

My friends & I visited on a Saturday morning without reservations, but we went relatively earlier. We were seated right away for a table of 4 & were served teas & coffee. I ordered the Bone Marrow & Duck Confit which consisted of a country-style bread, duck poached egg, bone marrow, confict duck leg, manchego shavings, herb salted crumble & green peas. It's a massive dish & honestly everything tasted amazing all together. The bone marrow was perfectly cooked & the duck poached egg meld everything together. They also give you another bowl so you can put the marrow once you're done eating it. The bread was needed to soak up every part of this delicious dish.

Other items ordered was the Foie Gras (Chef's specialty) which had brioche bread, duck poached egg, caramelized onion compote & crispy proscuitto chips. The chips were a wonderful item to pair with the seared foie gras. The foie gras was perfectly cooked. The Rustic is another fan favourite which had brioche bread, duck poached egg, sautéed mushrooms. pulled pork, potatoes & argula sprouts. it is such a beautiful dish - nice colours, many ingredients & placed well on the plate; not to mention it was so good too! The last item was the Croque Monsieur which has country-style bread, maple-glaed Gaspor acon, confit tomatoes, cheddar, duck sunny side-up egg on an endive salad. You can't pick it up & munch on it, so you know how big this must have been! Even cut into pieces, it requires some maneuvering to munch on it.

Great place for brunch. Awesome service too. I would highly recommend this spot if you're looking for a brunch spot!

We had brunch at Passé Composé during our visit to Montréal & really enjoyed the experience. We ordered the croissant breakfast with a side of crispy potatoes & the crêpes, & both dishes were fresh, flavorful, & generously portioned. The ingredients tasted high quality, & everything arrived beautifully presented. The potatoes were nicely cooked, while the crêpes made for a delicious sweet option.

The service was friendly, attentive, & welcoming from the moment we arrived. Even though the restaurant was busy, the staff remained efficient & made us feel well looked after. One of the highlights is the lovely outdoor terrace, which creates a relaxed atmosphere for brunch, especially on a nice day. The location is also excellent, making it easy to stop by while exploring Montréal.

Overall, Passé Composé is a great place if you're looking for a quality brunch with fresh food, generous portions, kind service, & a pleasant setting. I would happily return & recommend it to anyone visiting the city.

Revisits in 2026:
I don't know what happens exactly, but this is not the same Passé compose as it used to be years ago. Foods are different; location is different; not the same vibe as all.

Original review year back:

Great experience! Creative presentation of food. Good quality food & very nice service. The smoothie is on another level. Ramen is also amazingly good (using pasta noodle instead of regular ramen noodle.)
The French toast is more like a deep fried bun in Chinese hotpot restaurants. Not recommended for Chinese like me.

Nouvelle revue après 7 ans. Les prix sont quand même relativement élevés pour une carte de brunch. Cela dit, assiettes copieuses. J'aurais aimé voir plus de choix (comme des options plus'santé' ou pas juste pleine de pain).
La qualité est bonne quand même.
Service vraiment rapide pour un samedi midi!

Au départ, j'avais peur des reviews sur Facebook mais je n'ai pas été déçue. La serveuse a été agréable tout le long. La carte est variée. Pour un jeudi matin, la place était étonnamment pleine. Nous n'avons pas attendu longtemps les plats. L'ambiance est nice aussi. Seul bémol, les gnocchis de mon amie ressemblaient plus à des patates rissolees (ce qui est pas mal différent!). A part de ça, on est même restée à discuter 45 min après avoir payé & la serveuse ne nous a jamais mis de pression pour partir. La nourriture était vraiment bonne. Je recommande cette place. Place accessible en chaise roulante manuelle mais pas motorisée. Gros plus pour les mamans: une table à langer est dispo dans les toilettes!!
