The food is fresh & delicious, their salmon bowl is the perfect blend of flavor. I went back for breakfast, their chia breakfast bowl had fresh fruit, their homemade granola & a little custard. Their coffee is good too, great location in Old Town Montreal, pretty setting. The staff is friendly, I was traveling on my own & really enjoyed the food & atmosphere.

We had a fantastic experience. One in our party couldn't have sugar & they worked hard to accommodate her needs. The Reuben was amazing & the almond croissant was to die for.
