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.
Worst place in town!
Well, I had to read some previous comments about this place more carefully.
We were visiting the city during Grand Prix weekend & decided to stop at this place for breakfast.
I specifically asked the waitress about a waiting time (as we were heading to F1 race) & she assured me that the waiting time will not take more than 20 min. It took almost an hour! We noticed that they let groups of 2 in without any waiting time & suggested to them to put two tables together to minimize the wait time for groups more than 2 & improve their customer service.
As a result of this extremely negative experience, we didn't tip them at the end of the service.
The waiter with a metal triangle piercing in her nose, became very angry & even aggressive! She grabbed the water & our glasses from our table & told us that we need to leave the place immediately!
I really hope that the management of this place will read my comments & take the right action.
You cannot create artificial waiting lines as a free advertisement of your place. You also should be careful with who you hire & need to be aware of what's going on in your place in your absence.
What a shame to the city of Montreal!
Wow quel culot ces touristes grincheux de se vanter de ne pas avoir laissé de pourboire, ils auraient mieux fait de rester proche de la F1. The city of Montreal doesn't owe you anything.
The food was wonderful & inexpensive for the quality, however the choices are pretty limited. Our waitress was also very sweet & attentive. Will go again for sure
Un autre incontournable du quartier pour un déjeuner impeccable. Menu excellent, très bon service. Attention d'y aller tôt, cela se remplit vite le week-end!
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.
