We loved the brunch here & came here twice during our stay in Montreal. First time was during weekdays & had to wait for 25min, which was fine as we made a 15min stroll & came back for our table. Second time was on Saturday around 11, & got our table with 20min thanks to others leaving the queue… recommend the cuban melt, the italian baked egg & things from the sweet bakery at the front. Only downside, only 1 toilet for lots of ppl. Service was good, friendly staff & fast.

The real deal. 10/10 quality & value. It's a mistake to go anywhere else

>'Extremely disappointed with our experience here today. We walked in hoping for a pleasant lunch, but the host was incredibly rude & unwelcoming. Due to his poor attitude & lack of basic professionalism, we decided to leave immediately & take our business elsewhere. Management really needs to invest in customer service training for their front-of-house staff because this individual is actively driving customers away.'

Over-rated Cuban sandwich. Too much sauce, too little meat, too expensive.

Chaleur étouffante. Pas de AC. Au moment de lire le menu on voit qu'un pourboire de 18% est imposé. Les portions des voisines étaient plutôt petites pourtant les prix sont très élevés. Tout ça avec un service suffisamment long… pas avoir envie de rester.m!

Food is amaaazing. Loved the croissants, the french toast was one of the best i've had, so was the yogurt-bowl. & the salted & sweet ricotta was sooo fresh. The staff was soo sweet.

For a self-proclaimed foodie destination, this place just got crossed off this foodie's list. Admittedly we showed up after the lunch rush, but the place had been absolutely ransacked. The server seated us without warning, & when we went to order, each item we requested had run out. No Cuban, no chicken melt, no several other delicious sounding things. She gave us 10 more minutes to look over the menu & come up with a plan B. Truthfully I wanted to jump ship, but couldn't because our drink orders were already in, & I was captain of this gastronomic journey. We'd set sail without proper forecasting!

We settled on the baked egg & salmon bowl, neither what we were exactly craving. The baked egg was fairly tasty, a shakshouka-esque experience accompanied by rustic bread for hasty dipping. The salmon bowl was excellent, with delicious dressing, but the salmon portion was oh-so-meager. It made me wonder if the lunch rush had given the kitchen such a beating that they had split my salmon filet in half & served it to me & my neighboring table friend. Check out my photo & tell me if that portion seems right?

The lore says Michael Jordan worked his rear off every game because he always told himself there was probably at least one kid in the stands who came there to see THE Michael Jordan. Well this kid in the stands caught Olive & Gourmando taking the night off. There is a risk for peril if you choose this restaurant, especially if you are in Montréal for a limited time!

It's not 20-30 per person. A sandwich is >$25 before tax or tip. No sides. Nothing. Coffee another $7. Expect to spend ~ $100 for breakfast for 2 ppl. But it's still packed. Oh no AC either. Sweaty & gross in July.

Cuban had a nice sauce but not a lot of protein. I'm used to these being stacked thick. Did I mention no sides?

I can't tell how much of this is enshitification/profit maxxing vs legit costliness of running a business in OM.
