Les clients soulignent régulièrement la diversité des plats, incluant des options végétariennes et végétaliennes bien pensées, ainsi que des portions généreuses offrant un bon rapport qualité-prix.

Bien que l'expérience globale soit vivement recommandée pour son charme unique et son excellente exécution culinaire, il est conseillé d'arriver tôt pour éviter l'affluence, car la popularité de l'établissement peut parfois impacter la rapidité du service.
I tried this cozy brunch spot a few days ago on my own & really liked the aesthetic inside. I ordered the pancakes which was super fluffy & delicious, & the coffee tasted great too.
The service was a little slow since the place was packed, but the staff was super welcoming & gave great service anyway.
Super cozy spot with a simple curated menu to maximize quality of dishes over selection, mimosas are excellent. Coffee (flat white & Moca are also excellent)
Importante heads up to keep in mind.
If you didn't reserve, be prepared to wait outside between 15-45 minutes depending on how packed it is(we luckily did not have to we arrived at the perfect time & another pair had canceled last minute allowing us to only wait 5 minutes)
The service is solid & quick, but the wait on the food was between 20 to 35 minutes, if you are in a hurry maybe not ideal.
The team is good, the food is good, experience overall 80%/100% solid
What a place for a lazy, sunny brunch! Yummy food, smoothies & coffees☕?. We had the Béné Pomodoro which was heavenly. Had a lovely chat with one of the female waiters from France. Staff very kind, nice clean loos too
We arrived amidst a bustling crowd of eager patrons & were warmly welcomed by the excellent & friendly staff to this intimate spot.
Embracing the flavors of the season, we wasted no time in indulging in the offerings of the fall menu & immediately ordered a pumpkin spice latte (obviously). This is not your typical coffee with a small drizzle of cheap syrup. It is real, housemade pumpkin purée expertly blended into a velvety latte. This might be one of the best PSLs we've ever had.
Our meal choices were equally fantastic.
The Béné Mac n' Cheese with a harmonious fusion of decadent cheeses was as satisfying as it was delicious, especially when you add the secret menu item: smoked meat, to it.
Even the accompaniments proved to be delightful in their own right & not just filler. We savoured every last crumb of both the refreshing salad & breakfast potatoes.
We also ordered an extra side (because we have to try everything)-'Pain aux courgettes' highlighted by a truly exquisite house-crafted pumpkin jam.
We wholeheartedly recommend a visit. There may be a little wait (standard for brunch on a weekend, which is when we went), but we promise it's absolutely worth it.
Very good place to have breakfast. The food is very fresh & tasty, a many options in menu. In the morning quite busy, I think that's why it took 45 minutes to wait for the food,but it worth it. Coffee latte is huge size . I had great croissant sandwich.
I will guess that my review will not meet with the opinions of others. Sounded like a cool place & it is. Small eclectic & located in a tucked away part of Villeray that I frequented in a past life looking for things other than breakfast on Sunday.
As I guessed arriving there before 10:30 would assure us a table without a long wait & no sooner did we arrive that we had a "premium" spot by the window. Premium means we could actually get to our seats without having to climb over other diners..but not to worry.
Miniscule place with a miniscule kitchen so service was slower than like but we were well advised of the delay which I find most professional.
Food wise the menu is limited with crepes, eggs & healthier fare which for some reason I felt I needed after an evening of non indulgence.
Poached egg, some yogourt & muselix with 1 slice of toast & some fruit. Pretty healthy right .
I preceded this with a small glass of grapefruit juice which was actually quite good.
Overall the egg was poached very well indeed but the rest did not call for much of a cooking technique.
My guest had a crepe with cheddar, ham & asparagus. Crepe 100% cheese good but a little light, asparagus heavily grilled on one side only but my guest thought it was 100%, ham well too salty too abundant & actually too chewy. same fruits etc.
Coffee acceptable but milk in small individual containers is a nono for a "cool" place.
So not bad right but the kicker is it cost over $40 so I think there are quite a few other choices available & an extra slice of toast at a place called toasteur is not a bad idea
