Bagel was amazing, but the soup was under seasoned, home potatoes had some undercooked potatoes in it & for price you would expect a bit better. Took about 50 minutes before we got our food

J'y suis allée quelques fois pour le petit déjeuner & c'est fantastique! L'assiette de fruits & yogourt & l'assiette de pain doré sont incroyables. Les cafés sont délicieux. Beaucoup de saveur, superbes visuellement & très généreux. Le décor est sublime, chaleureux & le staff est très gentil. Il faut y aller!

Extrêmement heureux de mon expérience. J'étais un peu hésitant au départ, car je m'inquiètais de la grosseur des portions par rapport au prix. J'ai commandé le foie gras & je n'ai eu aucun regret. On voit l'effort & la qualité des repas dès l'arrivée des assiettes. J'ai trouvé le temps d'attente normal pour l'heure (10h30, un samedi, c'est assez occupé) & la serveuse venait nous voir assez régulièrement pour s'assurer que tout allait bien. La présentation du plat & la température étaient parfaites. En bref, une expérience formidable pour quelqu'un qui n'a jamais eu ce type de déjeuner high-end.

Brunch time, Happy time !! ✨ Le Passé composé est un magnifique restaurant. J'ai mangé un plat oeuf poché & fois gras qui était excellent. Lors de ma visite, c'était assez bruyant par contre. Merci Passé composé

The atmosphere is beautiful & the service was good. The food was expensive though the portions were generous. The bread was a bit greasy.

So I went to try passe composé in his new location after hearing so much about that place. We called ahead & asked for a reservation in one hour but were told we don't need one. When we reached the place, we had to wait for around 10 minutes. The place was packed, it was a Saturday at around noon. We opted for thr breakfast & order one of each plates with some beverages. The plates looks wonderful , presentation is 10/10 as you can see. The taste was also very good, but for me I found some plates were too much complicated, however it was my own opinion. The service was great, the waitress as well the runner who changed our matcha coffee without telling him, it actually made our day( I can't remember his name though). Would go back to try some new items. The ambiance was great as well- forget to mention that the food took more than 30 minutes to be served, which I found too much

The food tasted great, & the atmosphere was amazing. The service messed up on an allergy, so the food got delayed, but the staff was very nice. The issue mainly was that out of the 6 of us, all 6 got ill to some extent. The two sickest (threw up) got the french toast(be careful)! The rest spent most of the day on the toilet (yuck)! We're not sure what happened, but it was the only thing we all ate together. Food was tasty, (& expensive) but prepare yourself for a world of pain.

A popular brunch spot in town & had to try it while visiting Montréal. We went there in the morning around 10AM with a reservation. There were a lot of empty seats near by but I would reserve if possible just to be safe. The waffles were delicious, very buttery & pairs well with the flavoured cream & fresh fruits. The mango lime smoothie is very refreshing & has a unique flavour profile. The lamb sandwich was also delicious, & came with a side of either French fries or potatoes. All ingredients are very fresh & service was nice. Overall, a must try while visiting Montréal.

Mon brunch préféré à Montréal ! 🥂🍳✨ Le nouveau restaurant est magnifique, avec toujours les classiques du Passé Composé à la carte : un vrai régal. Ce brunch presque gastronomique ne ressemble à aucun autre. L'utilisation de produits frais & locaux du Québec est un vrai plus, rendant les assiettes gourmandes, colorées & absolument savoureuses. La cuisine maîtrise la carte à la perfection, ajoutant une touche d'expertise à chaque plat. 👌🏻

Les plats étaient bons & l'endroit est magnifique. Le service a grandement laissé à désirer. Dommage, je n'y retournerai pas.
