Délicieux déjeuner le matin qui se transforme en bar le soir. Enfin, un belle endroit ou prendre un verre dans le quartier.

I love this place. The Staff is cool, the place is cool, the coffee is delish & the hand made poterie cups make everything better. My only disappointment are some of the items on the menue. It's my second time ordering the monte cristo (mushroom) the the mushrooms are not fresh. There is an amoniac taste to them. The potatoes are somehow always too cooked & dry & not seasoned. I guess I'll have to eat something else next time :)

Un pub de quartier chaleureux avec une équipe sympathique & dynamique. Le menu est délicieux, le choix de breuvages est satisfaisant & l'endroit (une ancienne banque) fut très bien adapté aux nouvelles fonctions du commerce.

Je veux vraiment aimer ce café, mais je suis toujours un peu déçue. J'ai pris le Monté Cristo parce que j'avais envie de champignons & ils n'étaient pas frais. J'en ai parlé au serveur mais il m'a dit que le cuisinier disait qu'ils étaient frais. Mon nez en disait autrement. Dommage, le reste était bon, entre autre le cappuccino...

Incredibly relaxing place to stop for a coffee, beer or meal. I only had a cappuccino this time but I will definitely return to try their beer & food. Spacious dining area. Everything works at this cafe. Great service, menu & ambiance.

Prix prétentieux. Les plats sont très basique. Le gravlax de saumon était en partie sec. Les patates « wedge » : trop petite portion qualité/prix. Le mocktail PCP est bien concocté, sauf que la moitié de la coupe est de la mousse 🫢 Déçue de ma visite...

Nous avons reçus de bons commentaires au sujet de ce restaurant, donc nous y sommes allés pour bruncher ce dimanche. Je n'ai pas aimé l'ambiance du resto même si le décor était beau avec les grandes fenêtres. J'ai trouvé que ce n'était pas chaleureux & que les tables étaient près les unes des autres. Côté nourriture, j'ai pris une sandwich déjeuner fait avec un pain fait maison. Le pain était vraiment ordinaire & sec. La sandwich était ok sans plus. Les patates déjeuner ne sont pas des "patates déjeuner'', ça ressemblait à des patates grecques très molles & graisseuses. J'ai pris une bouchée seulement. Je suis persuadée que ce sont les mêmes patates qu'on sert au dîner & au souper. Le repas était très moyen tout comme l'ambiance. Point positif, le service.

I'm from the United States, & this was the BEST burger & potato wedges I have ever had. Like genuinely I audibly gasped - whoever made that burger you deserve to win the lottery. Not to mention, it's open late so you can study for as long as you need or hang out. The staff was SO kind & friendly. If I lived here, I would be there everyday. This business a MUST-STOP.
