Overall, reviews describe Le Vieux Vélo as a small, busy, bright brunch spot with a concise menu that centers on eggs Benedict and solid sides like potatoes. The Benedictines, especially the Florentine with spinach, are frequently praised with some calling the eggs Benedict the best in the city and others noting the pesto version as excellent. The coffee is a point of contention, described as ethically sourced and tasty by some, while others find it weak or disappointing. Service quality ranges from friendly, quick and attentive to minimal or slow, with occasional misses like an extra sauce or egg not arriving. The atmosphere is described as humble, charming, and simple, with original artwork and a welcoming feel that suits a casual brunch with friends. Price can be a touch high, and a few visits are noted for inconsistency, such as overly salty ham or uneven preparation, but the overall sentiment nudges toward a positive, comforting dining experience that many would want to repeat.
Without a doubt, the best Eggs Benedict I've ever had. The eggs were perfectly poached. The hollandaise sauce was rich, creamy, & surprisingly light. If you're an Eggs Benedict fan, this one is a must-try.

Une petite carte, mais une qualité vraiment top! Nous avons pris les oeufs bénédictines, vraiment excellent! Les cafés & lattes étaient très bon aussi.
The veger pesto Benedictine was excellent.
The Chaï was excellent too.
It was a bit slow getting served but with the taste it shouldn't impact the score.
Le Vieux Velo is a very humble & charming cafe. The servers are gentle & accommodating. It is very bright inside. I can't recall hearing any music being played. Original artwork adorns the walls. We were seated immediately.
The menu is very concise. I believe they only do breakfast. We ordered the granola with fruit & yogurt along with the florentine eggs benedict. The food was very well prepared. The potatoes were very delicious. The small salad was dressed lightly. The hollandaise sauce was on point. Our taste buds did not really warm up to the coffee. It was a bit weak & lacking in a robust flavour for our taste buds. We are told however that it is very popular with many customers.
Two mains + 2 coffees was just under $50. If simplicity & good cooking is what you're looking for Le Vieux Velo will satisfy.

It's been a while since I've been truly surprised by exceptional food. I can't adequately describe how delicious & flavorful the Eggs Benedict were, every bite was perfectly executed.
The hot sauce deserves special mention it strikes an incredible balance between sweet & spicy that's absolutely on point.
Malheureusement première expérience à cet endroit pour moi! J'ai pris Bénédictine avec jambon & le jambon était trop salé & le pire café filtre que j'ai bu de tous les cafés. Je n'y retournerai pas! Désolé
OEufs bénédictines très bons, sauce hollandaise goûteuse. Globalement une très bonne expérience. Le cadre est assez sommaire, le décor pas très attrayant, mais c'est une place assez prisée.
Je mange au Vieux Vélo dès que j'en ai l'occasion! Le menu est très simple & ne change pas, mais tout est délicieux. Leurs oeufs bénédictine sont réussis, la sauce maison est bonne & l'oeuf est coulant. Si j'arrive sur l'heure du dîner, je prends un combo soupe-sandwich. La soupe change quotidiennement mais elle est toujours très bonne.
Le resto a un look super, avec les lampes de chez Lambert & fils qui lui donnent un petit côté vintage. C'est petit, alors c'est préférable d'y aller tôt ou en semaine, en groupe de deux ou quatre.
Le Vieux Vélo est un must pour le brunch!
On m'avait vanté ce restaurant pour ses oeufs bénédictine & j'avais très hâte d'y aller. Nous étions 6, ce qui est plutôt un gros groupe vu l'espace restreint, mais le jeune homme qui nous a accueillis a tout fait pour nous éviter d'attendre longtemps avant de s'asseoir, ce qui fut très apprécié.
Nous avons naturellement tous commandé des oeufs bénédictine : la moitié de la table a pris le ''classique'' (jambon) & l'autre moitié, dont je faisais partie, le B.A.B (brie, avocat, bacon). Dans tous les cas, les oeufs étaient bien coulants, les muffins croustillants & la sauce délicieuse.
J'habite assez loin, mais si on me propose à nouveau d'y aller, je ne devrais pas être difficile à convaincre.
