Brunch was good but the very slow service spoiled the experience.

Exceptional brunch with friendly, attentive service & unbeatable atmosphere. We ate outside, & though busy, service was still on point. Food was delicious, charcuterie plate was perfectly portioned, super fresh & widely varied. Caesar salad had lots of nice touches like fried caper & a fried parm garnish, well dressed with decadent flavor. Perfect for a casual, upscale al fresco dining experience while people watching in Old Montreal.

We had brunch on the terrace which was pretty packed but not unpleasantly so. Food was wood quality & well presented although the scrambled eggs were overcooked for my liking. Coffee was good but could be much better, service was slow but that fitted with the chilled vibe of the place. Staff were friendly & helpful. Overall a very good place to have breakfast & watch the world go by.

Un moment d'exception au coeur du Vieux-Montréal ! J'ai choisi le Maggie Oakes pour le premier brunch de mon séjour & l'expérience a été fabuleuse. L'emplacement sur la place Jacques-Cartier est tout simplement idyllique pour s'imprégner de l'atmosphère historique de la ville. Le repas était savoureux copieux &, parfaitement exécuté, & le cadre est à la fois chic & très chaleureux. Un accueil charmant & agréable. Le service était également à la hauteur. Une superbe adresse que je recommande vivement avant d'aller flâner sur le Vieux-Port

I dine regularly in Montreal & almost never left a review but felt compeled to this time. To put it simply, save yourself the time & money.

The brunch menu lacks variety & is simply not worth the price they charge for what is considered a very standard breakfast plate(s). Additionally, the the pastries they served we small & burnt (specifically the almond croissant). It was not the only burnt food at the table, the waffle I had was quite dry & lacked flavor, & the bacon I received seemed to have been forgotten on the fire as it was black in my plate.

Additionally, the service was lacking. Coffee took over 20 min to come to the table after ordering, despite the place not being very busy, & we could not get a server to bring us salt & pepper. To the point where one of the members at my table got up & took shakers himself so we could eat our eggs.

Based on what I observed I cannot fathom how this restaurant has managed to survive in Montreal when there are so many better alternatives around (such as Jardin Nelson); my only explanation is it lives off of hype & is very'instagram-able'. If you care to actually eat & sample diverse food at a reasonable price, please choose a different restaurant.

Il y a 3-jours ma femme & moi avons brunché en famille à cet élégant restaurant.
Le distingué serveur Pascal nous y a fait vivre une très belle expérience où la convivialité mêlée de respect, d'empathie & d'efficacité règnaient. Quant aux assiettes, rien à redire: gourmandes & délicates avec en Dessert une addition tout-à-fait raisonnable.
Bref un bien bel endroit à fréquenter!

In the heart of tourist town. I have eaten here twice. Once for supper on the terrace - steak was fabulous & watching the tourists walk by even better. My family tried Easter Brunch… it was ok. A buffet style brunch. We were grateful to have found a reservation last minute so that was a plus but it was filled with screaming kids… I guess that made it Easter like… I would recommend this place for a good steak mid summer … not for a holiday brunch.

Nous sommes allés bruncher à 4. Super service, plats généreux & savoureux. Service impeccable. Il y a eu un petit oubli dans la suite des plats qui nous a valu une belle surprise sucrée à partager... Merci, très gentille attention.
Petite note à considérer... les oeufs bénédictines sur bagel... super idée MAIS... très difficile à couper & vraiment trop salissant pour manger tout ça avec les mains. Bien que le bagel Montréalais soit recherché, il serait nécessaire qu'un remplaçant au bagel soit trouvé. C'était vraiment difficile de couper le bagel, il était trop dur & glissait dans l'assiette. Nous avons demandé des couteaux à steak pour y arriver & malgré tout l'opération était difficile. Il doit bien y avoir de bons muffins anglais ou autre chose qui serait plus agréable à couper & tout aussi savoureux.
Est-ce qu'on retourne? Certainement !
