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!
Je recommande fortement si vous voulez essayer un brunch qui sort de l'ordinaire ! Les prix sont plus élevés que dans un brunch classique mais nous avons pu déguster des plats uniques, c'est recherché, fait maison & mettant en avant des produits Québecois. Nous avons partagé le poché des maritimes & le pain perdu au panko : délicieux! Le service est impeccable, super expérience !

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.
It was not as good as we expected. We waited more than one hour for our meals ! we went there on Monday morning so it was not weekend! We found this place based on google reviews & we decided our dishes based on the photos of popular dishes but we have been told that most of those dishes won't be served... some of the staff were friendly but some not.. we ordered 4 latte but they have been served with different ratio of milk & without any decorations! Even though the quality of food was great, I would not recommend this place to my friends.
Only trust when we try the foods, we wait for more than 40mins & the food presents looks big, but the food itself is cold. I think they may prepare & cook all the orders at once. Many reviews give high score, but sorry I don’t recommend here. It doesn’t worthy to come paying such high price.
Delicious! Highly recommend for breakfast or brunch. Local suppliers for all their products, very fresh. French cuisine restaurant. Reservation required.

J'ai commandé le Oeuf Poché Estival «Alle Vongole» à 37$. meatball sont vraiment trop salé & ils sont pas assez cuit, quelques une est froide à l'intérieur. Le tulle palourde n'est pas bien sélectionné je crois, d'autre type de palourdes serait mieux pour ce plat. Les chips de manioc est vraiment trop dure. La combinaison de ingrédients n'est pas superbe, c'est pas bien balancé. Je ne recommande pas ce plat. On a aussi commander le sandwich bagel, avocado frit est intéressant. En gros ces deux choix n'est pas. On est quand même très déçu de cette expérience. Avant je viens très souvent pour le 2 Oeufs Pochés Champêtre 38$, c'est toujours un excellent choix.
Une très belle découverte! Les saveurs & la beauté des plats se côtoient. Je vous recommande de commander un plat salé & un sucré pour partager .... Comme cela pas de regret
Wow très bon resto, je recommande fortement. Si vous pouvez & si la temperature le permet, aller sur la terrasse exterieur, c'est plus tranquille. Sinon le repas est excellent & les choix de déjeuner sont originaux & luxueux. Le service était impeccable. Je vous recommance d'essayer les pains dorés au panko, c'était excellent.

I wish I loved it as much as I thought I would.
Food was great, but somehow very expensive & portion were a bit unrealistic for breakfast. Great service overall, I just feel it might not make a lot of sense for me to pay 150$ + tip for breakfast, but that's just me.
Would recommend for the experience.
I was expecting to get a table at 12h30 with my reservation but I understand that the restaurant was fully packed. We were still able to get a table 15min after our reservation. The food was pretty good & worth the wait. We had a Tartiflette breakfast, a passé composé sandwich & a side of french toast. They were all excellent & I recommend the side of french toast if it's not included in your meal. The french toast is like a gourmet Queue de castor & that's pretty good. Also I really enjoyed the side of fries with a light cream cheese, way better combination then I expected & the cream cheese was really light so it wasnt overwhelming. One thing to note is that the Tartiflette breakfast was really heavy, so get ready for a nap afterwards or bring the leftovers at home. Overall, it's on the expensive side but honestly worth the price & the wait. Food was great.
This is my second time coming to Montreal & Le passé composé. I love their food so much & HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend!!!! Will be here everytime I travel to Montreal I swear :D

Great food. It was so popular that we waited 10+ minutes even with reservation. I'd say it is well worthy the wait. A must go for a weekend brunch. I also got a couple of great pictures. Highly recommend.
Tel que mentionné, décoration du restaurant chaise tables. & le restaurant est dans un quartier défavorisé n'aide pas a mettre des prix aussi haut désolé je ne recommande pas votre restaurant , la présentation des plats superbe!!
Le menu en soi vaut le détour ! Ajoutez à cela la présentation, la qualité & le service & vous passerez un très beau moment. Je le recommande fortement.
