Magnifique architecture & design intérieur. Agréable ambiance. De belles opportunités à saisir pour agrémenter l'expérience client dans le cadre du brunch & menu cabane à sucre.
I visited Les Enfants Terribles during a recent trip, originally planning to come for brunch, but realized they only offer it on weekends. Even so, I decided to stay. The atmosphere is lively yet relaxed, making it a great spot whether you're catching up with friends or just enjoying a casual night out.
The service was friendly & attentive without being intrusive. Our server checked in at just the right moments, keeping everything running smoothly while still giving us space to enjoy the meal at our own pace.
As for the food, nothing felt overly complicated, but everything was well-executed & satisfying.
Nous sommes allés bruncher en famille aux Enfants Terribles de la Place Ville-Marie &, dans l'ensemble, l'expérience a été agréable, avec plusieurs points positifs...& quelques détails à améliorer.
Ma fille a choisi la grosse assiette déjeuner (avec viandes, oeufs & pain).
La saucisse était savoureuse.
Le jambon était franchement excellent.
Le creton était très bon également.
On sent que les produits sont de qualité & bien sélectionnés. Seul petit bémol : les tranches de pain étaient un peu petites dans l'assiette. Un peu plus de générosité aurait rendu l'ensemble encore plus satisfaisant.
De mon côté, le pain doré (environ 16 $) avec sa purée de pêches était vraiment réussi : belle cuisson, bon équilibre sucré, & une touche fruitée appréciée.
Mon fils a opté pour la poutine déjeuner, qu'il a bien aimée, un choix gourmand qui fait toujours plaisir.
Ma conjointe avait choisi la salade de chèvre chaud, mais elle a été déçue. Elle s'attendait à une croquette de fromage de chèvre bien définie & généreuse. Or, il s'agissait plutôt de fromage de chèvre fondu, avec une portion qu'elle a jugée un peu petite. Elle aurait aimé avoir en accompagnement du pain ou des croûtons.
Elle a aussi commandé la poutine déjeuner. Elle a trouvé que le fromage en grains était très froid & ferme...moins frais qu'espéré. Pour elle, lenseme de son expérience de situe autour de 6/10.
Un point qui me dérange personnellement : le café n'est pas inclus avec le brunch. Pour moi, un brunch sans café inclus, ça enlève un peu de l'expérience globale.
Autre détail : la machine de paiement suggérait des pourboires à partir de 18 %. On peut ajuster manuellement, bien sûr, mais la présentation donne une certaine pression implicite.
Le service était très bon : efficace, cordial, professionnel.
L'ambiance est aussi un réel atout: décor moderne, belle luminosité, cadre agréable pour un brunch en famille au centre-ville.
⭐ Verdict
Des produits de qualité, une belle ambiance & un service solide. Quelques ajustements: portions de pain plus généreuses, fromage plus frais pour la poutine, café inclus, permettraient d'élever l'expérience d'un cran.
Note finale : 3,5 étoiles sur 5.
Une sortie satisfaisante, avec un bon potentiel pour faire encore mieux.
I was a bit gutted they were no longer on the top floor overlooking the city. But it still turned out to be a quite enjoyable brunch. The decoration & setting was on point, the service was good & the food had a nice blend of quality & quantity without being too fancy. Quite a lovely-'can't go wrong' spot of you're in the area of town for breakfast or brunch.
Great service, delicious food, wonderful atmosphere! We came for an early dinner the night before & immediately made a reservation to come back for brunch today!
Alexandra was great. She answered all our questions & even made sure we got a special request.
Très bien pour les lunchs en semaine, belle carte & bon choix, avec un bon service.
Moins bien pour les brunchs en fin de semaine. Petite assiette & cher pour ce qui est réellement servi. Les brunchs devraient être revisité avec des assiettes plus copieuses. 🙂
Had an excellent Mothers day brunch at the bar. Service was quick, attentive & the food was excellent. I thought I would be dissapointed when I learnt they were no longer on the roof with the view but the service & food made up for it.

Has always been one of my favourite restaurants, even now that it has moved to the 1st floor of PVM. We were seated at a spacious booth right next to the windows. The restaurant was well heated, very cozy. Always clean. Our waitress was solicitous & pleasant. We went fur lunch/brunch on Saturday morning. I ordered the tuna tartare à l'asiatique with the fries ($35). The tuna was very fresh. My son had the big breakfast dish, La Totale for $21. He liked it & I found it was good value for your money. It came with three pieces of toast but they could have put a bit more butter on the toast. He would have preferred more than just two bacon slices in the dish. My daughter enjoyed the Shanghai salad ($18). It was decently sized. It was a bit spicy but she liked it. If you are a big eater, you can order bread (which comes piping hot with butter on the side & no extra charge). One thing that really stood out was the care they take for allergies. 5 stars for that!! The waitress & the manager (not sure?) were super attentive. They even brought me a different sauce to use with my tartare since I could not eat the ponzu sauce that usually comes with the tuna tartare.
Booked for a brunch from 12 - 1 for 3 individuals for a birthday. We were a little late to arrive, at about 12:07. On arrival, the waitress said she had a great table for us but it had to be cleaned. The terrace was about half full but we wanted to be sat indoors. We had to wait 10 minutes for the table to be cleaned up, although half the restaurant was empty. Once we were seated, our waiter asked us if we wanted still or sparkling water (we opted for still) but once he left, he didn't return; another waiter (I assume the Maître d'Hote or floor manager) served us water & apologized for the wait, which was appreciated! When our original waiter returned, he took our drink & food orders. After leaving our table, it took quite another while before we had our drinks... When we got our cocktails, it was already about 12:40, & our food got to us at about 12:58pm. Seeing as I was on a lunch break, I asked the waiter to pay my bill so I could eat & leave as quickly as possible, & even paying took another 8 - 10 minutes before he returned with the mobile cash. All in all, the food was excellent & the location's really beautiful, wide & luminous but the service was pretty exceptionally slow. It didn't seem to be a staffing issue & the restaurant wasn't so overwhelmed... Regardless, I'll most likely be back but on a day where I have time to spare!
It's very rare that I actually leave a review for a restaurant but I was shocked at how bad my brunch was. My friend made a reservation here on a Saturday. I was excited because I heard of the resto by name, so I was expecting good food. I ordered the Breakfast poutine. The cheese wasn't poutine cheese, possibly cut up mozzarella. The brown sauce was a type of water downed béchamel sauce & the pulled pork... tasted like it came from a can. Anyway, there's so many places in Montreal where you can have a great brunch experience, this level of mediocre was astounding. We also waited about 30 minutes for our bill. Anyway, I do not recommend.
2 $ d'extra parce qu'on prend seulement les blancs d'oeufs, je trouve ça ridicule ! Payer 105 $ pour un brunch, soit oeufs & bacon, c'est inadmissible. La nourriture était correct, sans plus. C'est payer cher pour avoir une vue sur Montréal !
