One of my favourite brunch spots! Service is slow on the weekend & I recommend making a reservation but the most amazing food! The maple crunch pancakes were delicious & I recommend the Thyme lemonade!
This has been a regular brunch spot for all of my friends until today. We ordered 3 main & two of them were burned - pancakes & French toast. Ratatouille was yummy as usual. When I told the server, she came back from the kitchen & explained that "that is how they do it." Well, nope. It wasn't nicely browned & I know the difference. They both tasted burned, bitter & black in some parts. The cook did not even bother look at the burned food to judge what I was talking about! I actually love it all the way to the brownest possible(cancer allert!), so please don't tell me that it is the usual at Maman. Although the server was apologetic, some staff coming in & out of the kitchen glared at us for quite some time after my complaint. First we thought that he was the cook & would come over to take a look, but he never did. It was my friend's birthday brunch & everybody involved acted diplomatic. The server said sorry & we tipped her well because she was definitely not the one who burned our food. However, I feel like the kitchen & the management as a whole was irresponsible with their explanation & attitude. I mean we have been here many times & the menu we ordered have been consisstently our favourites! We know what they should taste like. Long story short - I expected more from my once favourite place Maman. I will not return to Maman.
This place was amazing. The service was a 10, super friendly & welcoming. The decor made it cozy. I ordered the pancakes, & they were the fluffiest & honestly best pancakes I have ever had. No lie. I also had the lavender hot chocolate, & it was not too sweet, perfect .
The food & service were great! I love a brunch place that accepts reservations, which I recommend as it does get crowded. We got the pancakes & the toasted salmon, which were delicious. I found the price point for the salmon high at $22 as it wasn't super filling. Pancakes were at $18, which is typically for MTL brunch places. The place is beautiful. However, there are a lot of tables crammed at the back, which makes it less intimate. I would go back to try their amazing looking cookies, though.
Finally popped in here while killing some time for an appointment nearby (I've heard it's insanely busy on weekends so was happy to go on a weekday). The food was delicious - tried the pancakes & would absolutely order them again. $18 for a stack of three pancakes is definitely pricy but you have to accept the upscale prices if you want to dine here unfortunately. For a black coffee & pancakes, it came to about $25. The drip coffee was a bit bitter but generally tasted good. Service was so so. Took a few minutes to be seated but the server came by relatively quickly to take my order. Food came out quickly but never saw my server again until I was finished. The place was busy for 1:30pm on a weekday but I echo similar comments that there are far too many tables crammed into the space which really takes away from the atmosphere. Less so if you're seated near the front of the cafe but very much at the back near the kitchen. Overall a cute cafe to try out in the area. Would return for the pancakes!
Service un peu lent alors qu'il n'avait pas beaucoup de monde, on nous a laissé attendre un bon 15 minutes pour nous placer, sachant que j'ai réservé:). Le menu salé est plein de saveurs, par contre les pancakes & pain brioché sont trop denses.
Overall a good experience. Two of their main items on the menu in my opinion is the waffles & pancakes. So I was disappointed & shocked even they told me they ran out of waffles at noon. Nevertheless, the toppings on the pancakes made the pancakes delicious & i recommend the seasonal French toast latte 🤤
Best brunch I've had in a long time. Pancakes & pain perdu were awesome. Pumpkin pie latte was also delish. The decor is so beautiful. Grab cookies on the way out, you won't regret it!
Arrived at 2, & it was lovely that they’re busy but waited almost 8 minutes before we were acknowledged to be seated. They didn’t have pancakes nor french toast anymore which was sad but fine. Pastries & hot drinks were cold.
We paid cash at the counter & the server charged a tip without asking us about the % first, it’s not about the money at all, but that was so tacky to do.
This was our first time & probably last; have been really excited to visit before, so just disappointed.
