Première expérience Les plats sont généreux & les saveurs explosent en bouche à chaque bouchée. La qualité est irréprochable & le rapport qualité-prix est parfait. Une expérience culinaire qui ne déçoit pas ! Note 9/10 À recommander pour amis, amoureux, tout le monde !
The food was very tasty, but there were plenty of wasps going inside the plate (which was a little small in my opinion) so it felt a bit gross to finish eating. Plus, the girls beside us were judging when we were freaking out? Wasn't super welcoming, but it's not the restaurant's fault. As for the service, it really wasn't all that great. The waitress only came once, & that's to take our orders at the very beginning. Plus, we were told we couldn't sit inside because there were reservations, which is understandable, but then she explained that even if the reservations are cancelled, they will prioritize later reservations for other tables? Which we didn't quite understand why? Also, the waitress expected us to tip 15% despite not interacting at all. Plus, the toilets were shocking. Overall, very good food, but poor service. Would recommend checking out but not go regularly.
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!
Super cute café! The food was great. We got the potatoe breakfast bowl & their green goddess salad & coffee, of course! The salad was really great, I have their cookbook, so I will make this recipe! The potatoe bowl was great, too! Highly recommend this place. It's a cute place for a date or a brunch with friends or family. It's on the pricier end but will definitely come back with the hubby.
Mon expérience dans ce restaurant/brunch est mitigée. Les plats sont savoureux & les prix raisonnables, mais le service laisse à désirer. Nous avons attendu plus d'une heure à l'extérieur avant d'être assis, ce qui a considérablement affecté notre expérience. Je recommande de réserver avec prudence, sauf si vous êtes particulièrement patient.
The café had a wonderful ambiance, with cozy seating & a welcoming atmosphere. The staff were friendly & knowledgeable about their coffee offerings & cakes. If you're a coffee lover visiting Montreal, this café is a must-visit for an exceptional coffee experience. I highly recommend it
The food was fresh & delicious. I loved the decor & the playlist they were playing was just so smooth, I loved it. The waitress Naomi was super sweet. I definitely recommend!
L'atmosphère était à la fois animée & détendue. Le menu offrait les grands classiques d'un brunch avec une bonne variété d'options. Chaque plat était joliment présenté & débordant de saveurs. Les pâtisseries étaient délicieuses & à tester absolument ! Le service était attentionné & plutôt rapide malgré le monde présent. Dans l'ensemble, une expérience de brunch tres agréable que je recommande. Je conseille de réserver en avance sur leur site web ce qui permet d'éviter l'attente.
