Food was fine; however, the staff told me that there was no record of my reservation even though I showed the staff my email confirmation of my reservation. Fix the booking system pls.

Food is good but ambience is too noisy. It was hard to speak & hear each other. The restaurant also did not inform us that the table reserved was limited to the service timing of 90 mins & started to stress us out.
Food is always amazing! We had to wait a lot even with a reservation but it just shows how good this place is. I understand that's it's not the staff's fault & they're the sweetest! Panko french toast is a MUST!

Toutefois, les portions sont énormes & les prix sont élevés, il pourrait être apprécié d'avoir des demi-portions.
Également, j'ai été très déçu de l'accueil puisque l'hote nous a mentionné très brusquement qu'on avait « juste 1h15 pour manger » & qu'après il faudrait partir. Je comprends que le restaurant est populaire, mais 1h15 c'est très court, surtout lorsque tu viens bruncher. Le but est de passer un bon moment & de jaser, sans être brusqué à engloutir l'énorme assiette & à partir. Une limite plus raisonnable (ex: 2h) serait appréciée. Également, je crois qu'il y a une manière plus polie de l'amener sans être bête avec les clients.
Overall la nourriture était très bonne mais je ne reviendrais pas payer 50$ ( + taxes + tip) pour un dejeuner & un café avec un service mauvais.
C'était vraiment délicieux & original! Par contre, c'est cher pour ce que c'est (8$ le café) & c'est un peu l'usine. Ça ne me dérange pas d'attendre un peu alors que j'ai réservé. Par contre, ça me dérange qu'on me prie de libérer la table alors que ça ne fait même pas une heure que je suis assise.
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

Excellent!
La réputation de ce restaurant n'est plus à faire.
On suggère de réserver à l'avance & de prévoir un budget un peu plus élevé que les chaînes de restaurants-déjeuner "ordinaires".
Ça vaut le coût & le coup! :)
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.
J'ai découvert le Passé Composé il y a 7 ans.
J'y suis retournée hier, toujours le même amour, toujours le même plaisir. Pour toujours ma place préférée pour bruncher & toujours un délice! La bouffe est EXCELLENTE ! Ouffff !

We didn't like the attitude of the host, he was kind of rude. Also, the isolation needs to be improved. We were assigned to the table in the bottom & it was so cold.
The food was good but not great. I ordered the sandwich passé composé & the meet was so chewy.
