Une oasis au coeur de Ville-Émard sur le boulevard Monk. Tous les plats étaient EXCELLENTS. Je donne la note de 6 sur 5. 😉 Assiette de perchaude, salade césar avec poitrine de poulet, frites maison, chou-fleur grillés.

Our favourite Cafe! Varied brunch menu, great coffee & friendly service. We brought our dog on the terrasse, & there is a park just across the road. Electric car charging right outside with high capacity chargers a short walk away.

Came here for dinner when I was in town w/ a friend for the Montreal f1 weekend. The staff were great & greeted us as soon as we went in. Our waitress was very sweet & charming. The food was exceptional. I got the salmon pasta & it was amazing, & a healthy quantity of food. Beer & food was priced well. Atmosphere was great. Cool, subtle, with good music. Bonus was that my friend & I got to see a firefly (that was glowing) in the restaurant. 1st time ever seeing that & it was awesome. 10/10 place. Would go again next time i'm in town.
