Je suis allée avec 2 amis au brunch. Belle atmosphère. Service médiocre, très lent pour prendre notre commande, nous amener de l'eau, & servir les plats. Toutes les tables autour de nous sont arrivées après nous & sont parties bien avant que nous recevions nos plats. Les plats étaient corrects, sans être extraordinaire.

The fortuna poutine was delicious, especially with the generous amounts of fresh mushrooms 🍄 from their garden. The popcorn 🍿 mushrooms were also fresh tasting & flavorful. The salmon was great as well & great selection of local draft beers. Great service & ambiance for dinner.

A very cozy place with pleasant furniture & clean decor. It is spacious, so you do not feel squeezed between tables. No clutter & that allows the customer to enjoy the coziness. The beautiful lights (👍) are a great way to create an inviting environment, a fact neglected by many restaurants, eateries & coffee places in the city. The service was excellent & the food was truly delicious. The vegetarian burger had a perfect consistency (most of the time, veggie burgers are soggy or too dry). The fries flavoured with garlic were a delight & those who love spicy mayonnaise, you have it. The veggie tartare (beets) was nicely seasoned & balanced. The plain plates were a nice blue, allowing to showcase the colours of the dishes. The American IPA Les Trois Lettres, 6.5%, is an excellent IPA with a perfect amount of bitterness & earthy scents. Great experience! P.S. Just a tiny suggestion: some minimalist flower pots for some of the plants in the window would be a nice addition. 😊

It has a nice ambience but food was awful. I got El Pablo. Fried chicken wasn't eatable. It was too fried that became hard. Potato was the same. It looks like they just warm up a left over food. I though maybe because it was 2:30 pm & too late for brunch. Service wan't that good either. They forgot my request to re-fill my coffee & brought the bill.
