Le Passé Composé est reconnu comme une destination incontournable pour le brunch à Montréal, appréciée pour son menu créatif et ses présentations soignées. De nombreux convives sont séduits par des plats originaux et gourmands, comme le foie gras ou la moelle, soulignant la qualité des ingrédients et la richesse des saveurs. Bien que le décor soit fréquemment décrit comme magnifique et élégant, l'expérience peut parfois être influencée par la proximité des tables ou le niveau sonore. Le service est souvent salué pour son attention et sa courtoisie, bien que certains clients aient noté des délais d'attente ou des irrégularités lors des périodes de forte affluence. Malgré des avis partagés sur les prix, l'établissement demeure une adresse marquante pour ceux en quête d'une expérience culinaire raffinée.
Excellent, creative brunch in a trendy & lively setting, steps away from Old Montreal.
We tried the bone marrow with poached egg, the foie gras with poached egg, & the crêpes. Everything was well prepared & genuinely enjoyable.
The service, however, had a significant mishap. A trainee mistakenly served my plate to the neighbouring table, where the customer began eating it. The plate was taken back & returned less than 5 minutes later as supposedly fresh, although the food appeared disturbed & the timing raised doubts. When I expressed my discomfort, the senior waitress handled the situation professionally, apologized sincerely & immediately arranged a completely new plate.
We were also the first customers after opening, yet waited around 30 minutes for our food. At approximately $200 for 3 people, including smoothies, coffees, tax & tip. The food largely justifies it.
The menu is well thought off & different. The presentation was gorgeous but one porched egg Benedict (even if duck) & other options (smoked salmon, roast beef…) at $34 is a little steep in my opinion. Our serveur was very nice & answered all my questions. The food was ok & this review is based on price point especially for the savoury part of the menu are questionable. The waffles were good & the presentation was pretty. The decor is gorgeous & modern. Great spot in the old port.
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.

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.
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.
I really enjoyed my brunch there; everything was excellent from the food to the service. You can tell there's real attention to detail in every plate, fresh ingredients, beautiful presentation, & flavors that stand out without being overdone. Eggs Benedict were perfectly executed, & the bone marrow was rich, bold, & definitely a highlight. The atmosphere is cozy yet refined, & the service is attentive & knowledgeable, which really completes the experience
I was here two years ago & had the best meal ever, the Maritime Poached Egg. However, when I returned this year the menu completely changed & the portions were half the size. I couldn't find the order I had last time, so I just ordered something else, the foie gras. It was okay, not as special.
I've been going to this restaurant for the past few years & have always had a great experience. The food has been delicious, the ambiance is great & the service as well. However, during my most recent visit this weekend, I ordered what I usually order, the foie gras poached egg, & I was disappointed to say the least. I'm not sure what has changed but the egg was cold, the foie gras was tasteless & the bread was dismal (honestly SO BAD). I'm not sure if there was something happening that day or not but I'm not sure I'll be returning anytime soon. At least the coffee & tea were good 🥲
Golden confit duck & silky bone marrow piled onto country-style bread, crowned with a perfectly poached duck egg that spills like velvet. Earthy chanterelles, sweet green peas, manchego shavings, & a creamy tarragon sauce tie it all together, finished with herb-salted crumble & fresh mizuna shoots.
Rich, comforting, & just refined enough to feel like a slow celebration rather than a meal. #RestaurantBrunchLePasseCompose #Montreal
