Food is good, but 26$ for just a sandwich is pushing it a bit.
Service was fine, but they forgot to change our reservation

Je n'ai pas été impressionnée par l'offre du menu brunch. C'était bien, sans plus. Connaissant la réputation du restaurant du Vieux-Montréal, ça m'a surprise.
Le temps était splendide, la terrasse était agréable.
Café savoureux.

Overall disappointing experience. The food was very good, but for 25$ for a sandwich you'd expect at least some sort of side like a salad or fries. The Cuban sandwich was very tasty, & my friend enjoyed her Chicken sandwich. The French toast tasted like plain bread with a side of syrup.

The service however was just plain awful. The waiter was very slow, & also forgetful - I had to ask for the same thing twice, & finally just asked another server who finally came through. I really enjoyed the original location in the Old Port, but this one pales in comparison & simply is not worth it.

Paid 40$ for a to go chicken Cesar salad that just tasted entirely of garlic. Highway robbery. Doesn't even compare to the one In old port 👎

I've been to their original location a bunch of times & this new one is awesome too. We had the Cubain, Chicken melt, cardamom knots, French toast, & soba salad. Everything was great! It is a touch expensive though. Highly recommend!

The food itself was really good!
But, their Cuban sandwich isn't comparable to the one in the old port.

I'm giving it 4 star mainly because of this, as I feel the food quality isn't as good as the old port one. Nevertheless very good food!
Their salad is super tasty & light!

One last thing about price, I agree with others it's indeed on the pricier end, but given the decor & the place, I feel it's just priced, just don't expect to be paying a dinner or food court price at this place.

Honestly, the only reason I'm giving 2 stars for the food is the pricing! It was very tasty but nevertheless, it was ridiculously expensive for what is was. I'm siting there a cafe type of place & I'm paying the price of a high end restaurant! Makes no sense. & the worst, is the kids menu. 12$ for a tiny grilled cheese with no sides & not even a drink! Is it normal to pay almost 100$ for 1 adult & 2 kids at a cafe? Yes the place is super nice, the ambiance is great & the service too. But come on. I get that every meal now is 20$ & up regardless of what it is, even for a stupid croissant. But if you're gonna have kids menu, own it & give them something more than a tiny square grilled cheese on a marble platter no one cares about. & don't charge 6$ for a lemonade. That's insane.
