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.
I tried two items out of their brunch menu + two smoothies, the Rustic & the French Toast + Strawberry & Dubia Royal smoothies.
If you like mushrooms, you would absolutely love the Rustic, it was very delicious & well-made dish, I enjoyed it a lot! On the other hand, however, the French Toast was the worst I've ever had in my entire life, & I'm a person who loves French Toast! Nevertheless, this was so poorly done that I couldn't even finish one of the breads out of the two, it was fried with something like bread crumbs on top, it was too greasy, & had an awful texture.
Regarding the smoothies, the Strawberry one was very delicious, but I wasn't a big fan of their Dubai Royal.
As for their service, both times they brought my smoothie almost at the end of my meal. When I requested to take the rest with me, they brought me the to-go glass on the table to do it myself!! This is not a service one would expect to receive in a restaurant on this level & with this vibe.

I saw so many recommendations on social media to come to Le Passé Composé for brunch but I was left incredibly disappointed. Right off the bat, upon making reservations, we had to wait over 15 minutes to be seated when the restaurant was not even full. Once seated, our waiter was very passive aggressive & unaccommodating. Many of the dishes were unavailable to eat. I wanted to order the gaspor grilled cheese without the bacon because the other grilled cheese had brussels sprouts which I explicitly told the waiter I really did not like. The waiter very defensively told me'the chef doesn't want to make you a grilled cheese without the bacon. just order the mushroom grilled cheese-you won't taste the brussels sprouts.' Needless to say, I got burnt toast with brussels sprouts & a drizzle of cheese-a flavourless joke of a grilled cheese. Not to mention it took over 40 MINUTES to be served the food & all of it came cold!! My boyfriend asked if his meat dish could be made without dairy products & the waiter rudely replied that'he can't just change the chef's dishes how he pleases.' Super pretentious service for mediocre food & preposterous prices. Would not suggest this place unless you feel like being talked down to & waste your month's rent on dishes that a toddler can make.
Best patio brunch ever. The lox & cream cheese bagel was stacked high with smoked salmon, mousse-like cream cheese & omg breaded & fried avocado. Matchstick frites came with house made mayo. & the French toast was delicately but deeply fried, with mini jogs of Quebec maple syrup. The people watching was a bonus floor show. Highly recommended, but not cheap.
Disappointing to say the least. I was shocked at how high the prices were for brunch plates. & the taste did not justify the price. I finished my food because it was $35 before tax for one piece of the foie gras toast, but there was way too much going on, too much garnish, the flavours did not melt together & the dishes were quite strange & lacking seasoning. Not to mention we were seated so close to the people next to us it fell uncomfortable. Overall would not go back. & if you after a more classic brunch & fair prices, definitely do not go.
I was a big fan of the original spot & finally got to try this updated space - it's different in feel but still delivers on flavour. We had the Bagel Passé Composé (with fried avocado & smoked salmon), the Rustic plate with Gaspor pork & wild mushrooms, & of course, the iconic panko-crusted French toast. The textures & presentation were spot on, & service was quick & friendly. It's clear they've elevated their menu without losing the soul of what made Passé Composé a Montreal brunch legend. Will definitely return!
Street metered parking is always a challenge anywhere in Griffintown & the Old Port. The entrance is actually in the park square & not on the street. I'm glad the chef has been recognized for his talent & had the opportunity to upscale. It's so fancy now. It's also bigger to accommodate more people. I kind of liked the old wood picnic tables though. There's a huge bar with many alcoholic & non alcoholic drink options. The food is perfect as always (I got the mushroom toast). I would suggest more vegetarian & vegan options, but I guess that's expected from a place most known for its foie gras & marrow dishes.
loved the atmosphere & the food. We tried the poached egg with lamb, grilled cheese, & French toast, all were amazing. The staff was also very friendly. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in Montreal
Today we were a group of 9 for a very special brunch. The ambience & restaurant was great & very clean. Service absolutely outstanding. Many of our group ordered different types of grilled cheeses & I ordered the French Toast (highly suggested from many customers on Google). Presentation & quality of ingredients impeccable. Our big disappointment was twofold…my french toast at first bite, crunchy, sweet but oh so deep fried. If you like fried dough or beaver tales, then you are in for a treat. But way too'oily' for my taste. The grilled cheeses were the same. Way too oily to everyone's liking. Perhaps it was just today, but was disappointing.
Great atmosphere & amazing brunch! Went twice in a row during my trip to Montreal & loved it. The food is delicious & generous-highly recommend the French toast & bagel!

2025: new location: the lamb sandwich was delicious. Great portions. The side soup was a nice blend of squash sweet potato & coconut. My'green' cocktail was smooth. Pleasant service. Nice decor.
2023: old location: The forest grilled cheese was perfect & very filling. The side of panko French toast & the side salad were pretty good too. My friend enjoyed her smoked salmon bagel. The ananerable was a great cocktail. The pastis lemonade unfortunately was overpowered by the pastis. Friendly service. Decent decor.
Very nice restaurant. Bright, clean & comfortable environment.
We got seated on a nice table but being in the corner means it's a little harder to get service at first. The waitress was very attentive after introducing herself.
The atmosphere was very nice, no complaint at all.
Food wise, the foie gras toast was amazing! The bone marrow was alright, nothing too special. The fresh juice was nice.
Will go again but probably try other dishes & maybe go for dinner next time.
Definitely a place you need to make reservations early.
A perfect little brunch spot with great vibes & delicious food. The panko French toast was incredible & our server Chloe was so sweet! Can't wait until next time!
