My girlfriend & I heard many great things about Passé Composé so we were very excited to come try this place out.

Overall, the vibes were great (we were seated outside on the patio) & the service was friendly but a bit slow.

We ordered the Smoked Salmon Waffle & the Passé Composé Bagel with a side of fries.

The waffle came with a healthy portion of spinach that was cooked well in the garlic butter, but perhaps a bit too much for the amount of smoke salmon that came with it. The waffle was great to absorb all the Hollandaise sauce & the yolk from the duck egg, but did not add any extra flavour or texture to the dish.

The bagel was solid but did not exceed expectations. The jalapeno & lime yoghurt elevated the flavour of the salmon but the bagel was a bit bland otherwise. The crispness of fried avocados added to the texture profile though.

Overall, we had a good brunch but it was not worth the price.

Nous avons passé un excellent moment au Passe Composé à Montréal. Dès l'entrée, l'ambiance conviviale nous a mis à l'aise : un café chaleureux avec une décoration soignée & une atmosphère détendue, parfaite pour un repas agréable.

Côté assiette, nous avons adoré :
• L'Éveil d'asperge : frais, savoureux & très bien assaisonné. Un vrai régal qui met bien en valeur les asperges de saison.
• Le burger saumon grillé : parfaitement cuit, avec une texture moelleuse & des saveurs équilibrées. Un excellent choix, généreux & gourmand.

Le service était impeccable. Notre serveur ( un jeune homme blond, j'aurais dû demander son nom) était particulièrement chaleureux, souriant & attentif, ce qui a vraiment contribué à rendre l'expérience encore plus agréable.

Bref, une adresse que je recommande sans hésiter pour un déjeuner ou un brunch décontracté à Montréal. On y reviendra avec plaisir !
Merci à l'équipe du Passe Composé ! 👏

I went for Mother's Day & the service was so bad I certainly won't go back. The space itself is nice but some of the seating is really inconvenient (they seat people without any consideration if they are elderly or children who need more space). I had made a reservation ahead. The food took a long time to come despite it not being that busy. The coffee (a cappuccino) was -not- drinkable but I didn't complain about it. They then brought in old fries that were cold without our mains. Again I didn't complain & just put them aside as it wasn't eatable. They then brought the mains a while later which were good (cod burger & bagel) . They sent an additional fry which wasn't old'from the chef' who I guess realized he sent us old cold food but didn't replace the two orders until I asked but of course, the fries never came despite being part of what we paid for. I had asked for a side of avocado, just avocado for my baby to have (shocking request for a brunch…) that caused quite an issue. The manager came with some fried foods & was very rude & abrasive as if I had done something wrong for asking for avocado & I explained I had specifically just asked for a side for my baby to have. Allegedly there was no avocado or fresh fruit without seasoning for my baby. A bit concerning if you make fresh food but can't accommodate a slice of avocado for a baby. I asked for the Check so i could leave. I had also asked for a piece of toast a long time prior to asking for the check which was brought only once every dish was finished & we were waiting to leave. The service was dreadful & the manager in front of us was saying she would speak to the waiter privately afterwords, not to remedy the situation or offer a better service… but because the waiter dared say they had avocado in the kitchen. Whole thing was very weird. I think it's a decent Space if you are 20 yo woman who want to brunch with a girlfriend but if you need or expect any quality service or help picking a dish… skip it. & make sure you don't ask for a side of avocado! & skip the coffee.

I also am noticing they seem to only respond to positive google reviews… which I think tells you all you need to know about their service.

An Unforgettable afternoon of Pure Indulgence

The ambiance struck the perfect balance between opulent & intimate, with soft lighting that made everything feel like a beautiful secret.

The service was impeccable without being intrusive. Our server seemed to anticipate our needs before we even realized them.

The flavors were bold yet perfectly balanced, textures played off each other in delightful ways, & the presentation was stunning without feeling overly fussy.

Absolutely loved my experience at Le Passé Composé. The atmosphere is warm & charming, perfect for a relaxed brunch or a cozy meal. The food was beautifully presented & full of flavor-everything felt fresh & thoughtfully prepared. The staff were friendly & attentive without being overwhelming. Definitely one of those places you keep thinking about after you leave. I'll be coming back for sure.

Food was delicious, service was a little disorganized & the tables were crammed together, we couldn't get in or out of seats easily.

Honnestly this place was very disappointing. The restaurant itself is beautiful but the food is trying to hard to be elevated dinning & it is not working out. I ordered the roasted beef sirloin poached egg, the plate lacked taste & texture it was essentially just mush with a 35$ price tag.

Le restaurant est magnifique, la nourriture & les boissons étaient excellentes, mais ce qui se démarque le plus, c'est le service exceptionnel de Jeanne. Nous étions un grand groupe & elle s'est occupée de nous avec beaucoup de professionnalisme, notamment en gérant plusieurs allergies importantes, tout en s'assurant que nous soyons bien installés. Demandez Jeanne la prochaine fois, vous ne serez pas déçus!
