Stumbled upon this Brunch spot in MTL. This Crispy Ocean Burger is mind-blowing good, it's got a MASSIVE piece of Fried Cod, Trout Roe, Yogurt, Dill-infused Slaw, served between a soft Brioche Bun with side Fries or Potatoes! Trout Roe wasn't really coming through flavour wise, but it was a satisfying Burger overall👏🏻

Overall, fun place to have brunch with friends.

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.

Food is very delicious, services are fantastic. The double portion foie gras melts smoothly once it get in my mouth.

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.
