Nice atmosphere. The decor is interesting to look at. The space is a little tight (seated at a table of 4 quite close to other tables).
Food (picky eater)
The water is potable but the glass smelled funky (fyi no fruits).
The Contre-Filet de Boeuf Rôtis was unimpressive. I liked the rösti, the vegetables, & the pickled pearl onions. The rosbif was grey but tender which allowed the spotlight to be the duck egg but it's the usual egg trade-off of completely runny yolk = some slimy whites.
Note: the Champêtre was more to my palate.
The fries were decent but their house mayo tasted fishy?
We did not try any drinks.
Service was nice.
(context: reservation, 4 people, on time, 1hr before closing)
We were greeted at the door (possibly because only the entering left door opens: outwards) we were seated with water after checking our reservation with the host. We looked over the menu & our waiter seamlessly came to take our orders. While we waited for our food our waters were consistently refilled. (It looked as though we waited longer for our meals than other tables & the plates were staggered 3 + 1)
At closing a busser came to pick up our plates & their manner was more abrasive than that of our waiter (they both asked before even gesturing to take each of our plates away)
Minimum suggested tip is 18% on the card reader.
Side note for the menu
Some item names are different in French & English & when the runners come to deliver the plates they say the French names.
There is a paper divider between French & English.
When comparing items menu to menu with a friend some were not in the same spots & it was a little confusing.

Très belle découverte ! L'accueil a été particulièrement chaleureux, on se sent tout de suite à l'aise. La décoration est soignée & vraiment agréable, ce qui rend le moment encore plus plaisant. Quant aux plats, ils étaient savoureux & bien présentés. Une excellente adresse que je recommande sans hésiter !
Très belle acceuil & service! La nouriture était originale & savoureuse. Parfait pour un anniversaire brunch dans un cadre élégant.
Moins adapté pour les petits budgets
I went here with my friends this past weekend. The food was pretty good & smoothie was definitely worth the price. However, it seemingly took almost an entire morning to get the food. It took a while for them to take our order, I would say 15 minutes. Another 15 to 20 to actually get the beverages. I finished my entire pint glass of smoothie (& then some)which I was sipping on slowly before we even got the food. I would say total maybe 45-60 minutes to get food. When we got the food all three of my friends had their food & it took mine an additional 10 minutes to come out. By that time my food was lukewarm, starting to get cold. They gave me the wrong side dish which took another ten minutes to sort out. Even though the food wasn't hot it was decent, the side of mushrooms was excellent & warm. After finishing up it took even more time for the check to come out (15-20 minutes). We went there for breakfast & ended up getting out at lunch. Felt like we spent the whole morning there because essentially we did. The worst & most egregious part, a friend of mine went to the bathroom & came out at the same time as one of the staff (unisex bathroom) & as soon as he came out he went right to the kitchen without washing his hands. This stall did not have a sink by the way. He appeared to be kitchen staff as he was wearing an apron. Really the last thing you want to see after you just ate. Waiting all morning for almost cold food was extremely annoying & I question the sanitation practices or enforcement.
Bad & slow service, & incredibly pricey in a way that isn't represented in the dishes or experience. Not sure they had enough servers working. Didn't get menus for 15 mins after being sat for a reservation, didn't get drinks until after food was brought out. Food came out & sat for 10 mins while we waited for cutlery & napkins to eat with. We watched a dog get sat outside & given a bowl of water before we got our drinks. Two stars for the French toast & sides, the duck confit with marrow was way too rich & imbalanced. French toast was heavy & greasy but tasted good, with fruit to balance heaviness, nothing special. Wouldn't go back, wouldn't recommend. Best part of our visit was the playlist. A note for tea drinkers - they don't have a way for you to pour all your tea at once when steeped. so any cup beyond your first will be bitter as there's no way to remove the loose leaves they give for the tea. The leaves arent also fully filtered so you will get leaves in your cup.
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.
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.
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.
Beautiful & delicious spot in Montreal. The food was absolutely delicious with generous portions, the service was great with a welcoming & friendly atmosphere.
