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.View more
We went there for the weekend brunch which was not disappointing although it was a bit pricey esp for drinks & if you are adding sides. With such a nice weather day we choose to sit at their outdoor courtyard seating which is awesome. Gotta try their double Foie Gras it's a good portion for part of two & taste fantastic 😍View more
Une véritable découverte ! Si l'oeuf poché au foie gras était déjà prometteur, le pain doré au panko m'a véritablement bluffé. L'alliance du croustillant du panko avec la douceur du pain doré & la fraîcheur du yogourt au miel était tout simplement divine. Un brunch d'une finesse rare, qui se hisse sans conteste parmi les meilleurs que j'aie pu tester, & ce, où que ce soit. L'accueil chaleureux & le cadre original complètent parfaitement cette expérience culinaire mémorable.View more
Les oeufs pochés foie gras sont si bon & le service impeccables ❤?View more
Excellent restaurant brunch. Les pains doré au panko & l'oeuf poché au foie gras sont à tombé par terreView more
Très beau restaurant! J'ai pris l'oeuf poché maritime + smoothie à la manque, & mon amie l'oeuf poché au foie gras.
Le restaurant est bien connu à Montréal, donc c'était assez occupé. Je recommande de faire une réservation pour vous assurer d'avoir des places!View more
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.View more
Well, overall, it is not too bad. Only two things:
1. I feel their cooking process probably started from raising geese after received my order of foie gras🤣🤣🤣
2. IDK if it is normal, but the fries looked & tasted like overcooked, even after I asked them to make a new one (the picture shows the second one; the first one looked like charcoal)🤣🤣🤣🤣View more
C'est un classique annuel pour moi & mon copain quand on veut se gâter: le Passé Composé un matin d'hiver! Grilled-cheeses toujours aussi bons & le foie gras était une découverte pour nous, délicieux! Service toujours aussi friendly & le nouvel emplacement est vraiment cute!View more
Brace yourself for some seriously DELICIOUS sandwiches! Amazing taste, cute place & veeeeery nice staff. With its art deco design, this restaurant gives a very romantic setting for a brunch/lunch/coffee date. As for the food, tasty, fresh, delicious, in one word, AMAZING! I tried a lot of sandwiches places in this specific neighborhood, & it's the first time I want seconds! I recommend the classic & the club. Finally, the coffee is also delicious & very flavorful. Also, if you want to try the brunch, make a reservation in advance, a lot of demand & for a very good reason, delicious food ! Try the French bread (deep fried with fresh fruits & a very tasty cream) & the foie gras with eggs (available without pork), it's to die for !View more
Extrêmement heureux de mon expérience. J'étais un peu hésitant au départ, car je m'inquiètais de la grosseur des portions par rapport au prix. J'ai commandé le foie gras & je n'ai eu aucun regret. On voit l'effort & la qualité des repas dès l'arrivée des assiettes. J'ai trouvé le temps d'attente normal pour l'heure (10h30, un samedi, c'est assez occupé) & la serveuse venait nous voir assez régulièrement pour s'assurer que tout allait bien. La présentation du plat & la température étaient parfaites. En bref, une expérience formidable pour quelqu'un qui n'a jamais eu ce type de déjeuner high-end.View more
We love the food there & the atmosphere is really nice Must try the foie gras poached eggs!View more
The wait time was significantly longer than expected, we waited an hour for the food to arrive. When the food finally arrived, I was particularly disappointed with the foie gras poached egg dish. The portion size was surprisingly small for the price. As other reviews said, half the amount for same price.View more
Very disappointing experience! The foie gras dish is half of what it used to be for the same price. In the old location, they would give 2 brioches with egg & foie gras. The brioche is also not as buttery & flavourful as before. It tasted bland. The portion of the Brussels sprouts is very small. Would probably not come back.View more
I came to Le Passé Composé for lunch a while ago & tried their 2 Foie Gras Poached Eggs Benedict. The atmosphere was chill & relaxing & the server was quite friendly. The benedict was really good in terms of flavour, texture, overall food ratio/balance, nicely poached eggs, & good turnip/potato. Trying Foie Gras for the first time was interesting as well & the foie gras complimented the food. I would go there again for the food again but it may be better for couples as the dish can feel a bit overwhelming or greasy near the end. Overall, I'd give the experience 8.8/10View more
The best brunch in mtl ! It's worth the wait. I recommend going early as there's always a line. The foie gras poached eggs is delicious & very filling. Brioche bread, poached goose eggs, grade "A" foie gras (Rougié), foie gras sauce, onion jam, prosciutto chips, poppy seeds, arugula sprouts, honey-glazed turnips. It's so rich, so good. Their panko French toast is also a great dish. Highly recommend.View more
Food is great but they seem have staff shortage problem, only 2 servers with full capacity. Come & try the signature French toast & foie gras with 2 poached eggs. It was delicious! The only one I don't like is the strawberry smoothie is too sweet, they added yoghurt. However, Will be back again to try other dishes.View more
a Nice place & Food was great, "foie gras" highly recommend.View more
Le Passé Composé is one of the most decadent brunches I've had in my life - & for a very reasonable price. & what I also loved was the laid-back & chill vibe of the restaurant itself.
I really only went for the foie gras poached eggs. The foie gras was nicely cooked & the sauce that they made was incredibly creamy & not too heavy/fatty. The onion jam & turnips were also nice additions for you to make a perfect bite, with extra textures & flavor. For the actual poached eggs, they were perfectly runny LOL. The brioche buns were also buttery & airy, & WAY better than the American's sad excuse of the thing they serve eggs Benedict on.
The panko french toast was also so good- i didnt know how much the panko changed French toast, but it did open my eyes. The toast was not soggy at all, & the panko added a nice extra crisp for texture. The caramelized pears were well cooked, not mushy, & deliciously slightly cinnamon-y.
I would definitely share the foie gras poached eggs, as it would've been too much for one person (have u ever tried eatin too much foie gras? Ur arteries start crying. plus u can try more of the menu!)View more
via LibroVery good bunch. We ordered Foie Gras Poached Eggs & French toast. My four old school friends from US were impressed.
via LibroLes oeufs avec foie gras, un délice !! Serveuse très sympathique & bon service. Seul petit point négatif : les 3 fois où j y suis allée, on n est pas servi en même temps. Tu as ton assiette & tu attends parce que les autres n ont pas la leur. J aime manger chaud mais tu attends que tes amis aient leur plat. Sinon c est parfait!!
via LibroSlow service.....foie gras poached eggs & bone marrow are both too heavy. We couldn't finish. French toast & crumble crispy are good

We had a big party reserved for brunch on a Sunday & ran late to arrive. Part of our party went to the other location & was even later. But the servers were very patient & understanding. We were able to be seated pretty quickly & order first, then added additional items upon arrival of the final guests.
Everything we ordered was Delicious & in big portion! It is such a great deal to add foie gras to any dish too, since they were very generous in the number of pieces to add (my brother got 3 big pieces!) Highly recommended to try it at least once on your trip to Montreal. We spent the whole weekend trying various high end restaurants known for their foie gras on this Montreal trip, but Le Passé Composé was definitely our favorite given its quality/portion of food, excellent customer service & great dining space. We plan to make it our first meal upon arriving & last meal before leaving on our next Montreal trip!
via LibroGot a recommendation to check out this joint on our trip to Montreat. We were able to get a booking & the place did not disappoint. With the ambiancr, the sevice & most importantly, the food! They were all excellet. We got the 2 Country Poached Egg & 2 Poached Eggs Foie Gras & French Toast for my daughter on their kids menu. We were surprised with serving size as they were huge & most importantly delish!
