Quel beau moment nous avons passé en famille! L'ambiance est douillette & branchée, le service est attentionné & les plats sont succulents! Nous avions tous un repas différent autour de la table & les avis sont unanimes : miam sur toute la ligne. De mon côté, j'ai pris le poché asperge, qui était rempli de saveurs, très bien assaisonné & juste la bonne portion. Les asperges avaient une cuisson parfaite, les patates en à côté étaient à la fois fondantes & croustillantes & les champignons de toutes sortes amenaient un côté vinaigré au plat. Aussi & surtout, les assiettes sont toutes belles à regarder. Pour les adeptes de photos gastronomiques, vous serez servis! Bien hâte d'y retourner. 😊
Mais quel régal ! J'ai pris l'oeuf poché végé avec asperges & champignons, c'était un délice. Mon ami a pris celui avec le saumon fumé, & c'était tout aussi bon. La sauce hollandaise est excellente, les produits sont de qualité, le service est rapide. Je conseille à n'importe qui
Excellentes tartines marinière & brioches au foie gras. Les frites sont exceptionnelles! Jolis cocktails déjeuner. Portions généreuses. Service amical. L'environnement entourant la terrasse est très beau & relaxant
Superbe expérience au Passé Composé pour un Brunch. Mention PLUS QUE SPÉCIALE pour l'oeuf poché avec sa gaufre saumon. La sauce hollandaise au siphon : mais qu'elle excellente idée ! Elle devient légère & gourmande. Incroyable. Bravo à l'équipe, de la cuisine à la salle !
J'ai été super déçu de mon expérience chez Passé composé. Pour commencer, l'attente pour recevoir notre nourriture a été de 1h25. La nourriture était froide & parlons pas du prix pour la qualité j'ai vraiment été déçu & je ne compte pas y remettre les pieds. À éviter.

Heard really good things about this place but we left feeling very disappointed. My salmon bagel plate lacked flavour. It honestly tasted like nothing, it lacked salt & spice. The waiter recommended the bone marrow which was the most expensive item on the menu & I did not like. It tasted a lot like mushrooms & it was not for me. This is more of a pricey place to get brunch & maybe we chose the wrong plates but it was deceiving. We will not be going back...
Nous sommes passés au restaurant samedi soir pour un dessert & un café. Super accueil & ambiance sympa!
Que dire de notre petit déjeuner dimanche matin sur la terrasse, des mimosas nous ont été offerts, une belle surprise d'un membre de l'équipe, tout était délicieux!
Merci!🤩

We had breakfast here this morning when they opened at 9:00. The foie gras was quite pricey-$45 for two pieces of bread, two eggs, & two slices of foie gras, or $35 if you order just one slice with an egg & bread. The taste was good though; the foie gras was tender, rich, & a bit oily.
The other dishes were decent as well-overall above average, not bad at all, though I would say the prices are on the higher side. The location is nice, & the music adds to the atmosphere. It's a good place to try, but not necessarily a must-visit.
Passe Composé offers a really nice variety of breakfast & brunch options. The menu is creative & well thought-out, though I personally wished the portions were a bit bigger. The wait was quite long (& it wasn't even a Saturday), so I'd definitely recommend making a reservation. Service could be a little quicker, especially since it's mostly brunch dishes, but overall it's a charming spot worth visiting

Beautiful setting, attentive staff, & food that was both well-presented & delicious. I ordered the mushroom'champêtre' eggs benedict &, as you can see, the presentation was beautiful. The taste matched the look. Without further ado, I recommend it!
OBS: I found it slightly more expensive than it should be, but at least they deliver quality
Best breakfast we have had. Its amazing that so many people eat here daily & never fully understand how wonderful of a place this is.
Then again we are from Tampa fl, we don't really have anything like this at home.
We should!
