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.

Disappointing to say the least. I was shocked at how high the prices were for brunch plates. & the taste did not justify the price. I finished my food because it was $35 before tax for one piece of the foie gras toast, but there was way too much going on, too much garnish, the flavours did not melt together & the dishes were quite strange & lacking seasoning. Not to mention we were seated so close to the people next to us it fell uncomfortable. Overall would not go back. & if you after a more classic brunch & fair prices, definitely do not go.

🦆 Foie Gras - Absolutely amazing! Melt-in-your-mouth texture, rich & silky - this one's a must-try. ✨

🦴 Bone Marrow - Would skip. Way too oily for my taste - just not worth it.

🍞 French Toast - Deep-fried, slightly greasy but hits that comfort food vibe. Not bad, just not exciting.

👀 Spotted some dishes from Harbour at the next table - looked pretty good! Might check them out next time. 👌

I was a big fan of the original spot & finally got to try this updated space - it's different in feel but still delivers on flavour. We had the Bagel Passé Composé (with fried avocado & smoked salmon), the Rustic plate with Gaspor pork & wild mushrooms, & of course, the iconic panko-crusted French toast. The textures & presentation were spot on, & service was quick & friendly. It's clear they've elevated their menu without losing the soul of what made Passé Composé a Montreal brunch legend. Will definitely return!

Street metered parking is always a challenge anywhere in Griffintown & the Old Port. The entrance is actually in the park square & not on the street. I'm glad the chef has been recognized for his talent & had the opportunity to upscale. It's so fancy now. It's also bigger to accommodate more people. I kind of liked the old wood picnic tables though. There's a huge bar with many alcoholic & non alcoholic drink options. The food is perfect as always (I got the mushroom toast). I would suggest more vegetarian & vegan options, but I guess that's expected from a place most known for its foie gras & marrow dishes.

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

Today we were a group of 9 for a very special brunch. The ambience & restaurant was great & very clean. Service absolutely outstanding. Many of our group ordered different types of grilled cheeses & I ordered the French Toast (highly suggested from many customers on Google). Presentation & quality of ingredients impeccable. Our big disappointment was twofold…my french toast at first bite, crunchy, sweet but oh so deep fried. If you like fried dough or beaver tales, then you are in for a treat. But way too'oily' for my taste. The grilled cheeses were the same. Way too oily to everyone's liking. Perhaps it was just today, but was disappointing.
