We had a wonderful lunch experience here. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly greeted & made to feel welcome.

The menu offered a fantastic variety of options to satisfy a more sophisticated palate. We came in looking for a lighter lunch, & our server was incredibly helpful in guiding us on portion sizes. I casually mentioned wanting some greens to accompany our meal, & she thoughtfully offered an off-menu salad option. That kind of attentive service & attention to detail was truly appreciated.

We decided on the charcuterie board & salmon tartare, & both were exceptional. The charcuterie board had a beautiful selection with the perfect balance of flavours & accompaniments, while the salmon tartare was fresh, flavourful, & beautifully prepared.

With excellent service, delicious food, & a beautiful patio setting in the heart of Montréal, this restaurant offers a fantastic experience & great value for the quality. We would happily return.

Stunning. Breakfast was delicious (smoked salmon eggs Benedict) - nice little twist came with spinach & tomatoes. Staff friendly & helpful. Great location.
The tea came with a little Madeline. Nice touch.

Just had a lovely dinner at Maggie Oakes. Pascal, Emil, & the gentleman who welcomed us were professional & attentive. The food was delicious (Maggie's cheeseburger & sesame crusted salmon, salad & dessert), & the service from all members of the team was excellent. Would definitely go again when in the area.

Dining at this restaurant is always a pleasure. I selected this place to introduce my friends to one of Montreal's hidden gems, & once again, it exceeded all expectations. Despite the heavy rain outside, the staff remained kind, attentive, & welcoming throughout our visit.

We started our evening with cocktails & wine in the central lounge, which offered a cozy, intimate setting. Although we arrived without a reservation, one of the managers accommodated us, providing a table in a particularly special spot near the vertical garden. The seating was comfortable, & the lighting was just right, enhancing the overall ambiance.

Our waitress was friendly & attentive from the moment we sat down. The restaurant's atmosphere strikes a perfect balance between modern & elegant, making it suitable for any occasion. The music played at a perfect volume, allowing for easy conversation.

As always, the food was outstanding. Every dish was crafted with fresh, high-quality ingredients, & the variety of desserts was the perfect conclusion to our meal. The service was impeccable, with the staff going above & beyond to ensure we had an exceptional experience.

I will definitely be returning & highly recommend the Steak Bavette, Salmon Tartare, the tropical cocktail, & of course, the desserts.

Christmas dinner with the team.

Once again, we enjoyed a wonderful business dinner at a restaurant we truly love. From the moment we arrived, the experience was exceptional. The warm, welcoming atmosphere combined with the modern décor immediately set the tone for a memorable evening.
Being asked where we preferred to sit made us feel genuinely valued-having that choice is all about comfort. Continuing our now-established tradition during business dinners, we were welcomed with glasses of sparkling wine upon arrival.
We began with a selection of the house specialty cocktails, the perfect way to open our appetites. Sacha, the restaurant director, was, as always, friendly, attentive, & meticulous, ensuring that every detail contributed to an outstanding experience.
For starters, we shared popcorn shrimp, salmon tartare, chicken Caesar salad, & grilled tuna tataki-each dish was delicious & beautifully presented. For the main courses, we chose the grilled salmon, steak baguette, & cod. Every plate was flawlessly presented, with each dish cooked to perfection.
To finish, we enjoyed a perfectly curated dessert selection, offering both variety & indulgence-the ideal way to close the evening.
The service was impeccable throughout the night, consistently attentive & always ready to assist, whether refilling water or suggesting another drink.
Highly recommended for a special dinner-100% satisfaction guaranteed!

This place is a 10/10 for breakfast. We also ordered room service & got the salmon tartare & Cesare salad for lunch too & it was incredible. Laurianne was amazing for brunch- request her!

I was looking for a nice breakfast café, & this spot came up highly rated. It's definitely more of a restaurant than a small café, but from the moment you walk in, the place smells amazing & is spotless.

We ordered a cappuccino & a regular black coffee-both were excellent. I had the avocado toast & substituted a fried egg instead of poached. The feta & walnut emulsion on the brioche bread was something I'd never had before, & it was incredible.

My husband got the salmon bagel, & it was like butter. The bagel had the perfect crisp, the cream cheese was light & evenly spread (no dry spots!), just the right amount of capers so it wasn't overpowering, & the salmon itself was divine.

Overall, it's not your typical cozy café vibe, but the food was absolutely outstanding.

Truly enjoyed Maggie Oakes , so much so that we started our day with brunch & decided to go back for a pre-dinner round of cocktails & appetizers.

Made reservations for their Sunday brunch long in advance as it does get busy . Service was good , slightly slow but normal for a crowded Sunday .

We ordered mimosas & hearty brunch items from the menu . Quinoa with beets & feta crumble on top & a side of grilled salmon . Delicious . Classic two eggs with bacon & breakfast potatoes was solid & the smoked salmon with eggs Benedict with hollandaise in the side are great .

We returned in the evening for a pre dinner round of cocktails & an appetizer. Drinks are strong & well prepared . Sangria is a stand out . Goat cheese nougat with crusted pistachios is a perfect spread with bread , plus it is gluten free . Ideal to start the evening off.

Definitely a great place to enjoy drinks , brunch & time with friends
