Le Vieux Vélo

We stumbled upon this brunch spot on our second day of our F1 Montreal adventure! We had to hop on the train to Jean Talon Market & then take a short walk to get there.

The restaurant is cozy but welcoming. We decided to sit outside & soak in the eclectic atmosphere-people, buildings, cars, & fashion all around.

Our waitress was fantastic. Once she realized we spoke English, she switched to English right away. She was super attentive, gave us great recommendations, & really brought a relaxed vibe to the brunch.

The food was pretty good. We had smoked salmon, eggs, & a bagel. We also tried pancakes, but they were way too fluffy & had too much batter. If you're used to the hard pancakes from the USA, you might want to skip them. My favorite part was the double espresso with a little water. It was heavenly, intense, chocolatey, cocoa-y, & earthy-truly dangerous!

Overall, I'd recommend this brunch spot in the city, especially if you're visiting or just looking for a different kind of experience. Even the music added to the relaxed vibe of the brunch spot.

Pretty good/simple brunch - had the benedict eggs. Not a lot of space so there can be some wait time

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.

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.
