This is a very beautiful place. Sitting outside feels just like a summer vacation.
We went for brunch which is the most boring type of meal & even the most traditional brunch meals were amazing & unique. Even the beans in the English breakfast were unusually tasty. Not to mention the presentation every dish looked beautiful, & the whole atmosphere was just very aesthetically pleasing.

EDIT: Tried their brunch, although good, I found the portion size very small for $24+ per dish.

The food here was phenomenal & the service was exceptionally welcoming & professional, with a lovely atmosphere too. A little on the expensive side, paid almost $200 for a 3-course meal for 2 (including tax & tip). But definitely worth a try!

This place is such an underrated brunch spot in Montreal's Vieux-Port. The service was great & food even better. I would strongly recommend their scrambled eggs with truffle, ham & mushrooms. The inside is also beautiful & bright.
Unfortunately, I think they get overshadowed by another local favorite next door.
Another bonus, they accept reservations, which makes it more convenient.

I will definitely check it out for their evening menu next time as I would love to see the place when it's a tad busier.

I came by for brunch today , I LOVED IT. Just like the amazing food , I loved service they gave.
Explaining how each drink options would compliment my main & constantly checking if everything was fine.

When I'm visiting Montreal again ; I'll be back here.

We went there for brunch & everything was excellent , the food, the hospitality, & the service. I highly recommend it. In my opinion, the only issue was the restrooms. They were not really up to the standard of a star-rated restaurant ,neither clean nor well maintained.

J'y suis allé pour un shower de bébé & ce fut une expérience décevante à cet endroit.
1) le café qui arrivait 30 minutes après être demandé quand on y va pour un brunch & charger en plus du repas.
2) service terriblement long, pas très chaleureux & invitant.
3) un prix très cher pour une assiette peu fourni & 1 oeuf brouillé.
Disons que je ne conseil pas ce resto pour un brunch

Cela dit bel endroit en haut pour un événement mais coûteux pour ce que c'est!!!

Nous avons célébré notre brunch de mariage chez Place Carmin, dans leur magnifique salle privée, & tout était absolument parfait.

La salle est superbe, très lumineuse - un vrai bonheur en plein hiver. L'atmosphère était chaleureuse & élégante, idéale pour accueillir nos 20 convives dans une ambiance intime & raffinée.

Les canapés, le brunch & les bouchées en dessert étaient vraiment délicieux - tout le monde s'est régalé. Mention spéciale pour le mimosa servi à l'arrivée, une attention qui donne immédiatement le ton festif.

Le service était présent, mais toujours discret, ce que nous avons particulièrement apprécié.

Un immense merci à toute l'équipe pour ce merveilleux moment qui a parfaitement prolongé notre week-end de mariage. Nous recommandons sans hésiter ! 🥂✨

5.0

Brought our two little ones here for brunch. Staff had the utmost accommodation helping with our coats & the shuffle of the two little ones.

We had the eggs benedict (ham, bacon) & one vegetarian. The hollandaisse was the best I've ever had - smooth & airy with the perfect tingle of acidity, it melted in your mouth.

The French toast our oldest had was thick cut, & cooked like a pillow. The caramel & apples were decadent. Our youngest had the granola which was a sleeper choice. Yogurt was tangy & light & there were seemingly five types of apples that elevated the sweetness in a new way with each bite.

World class service, food & ambience. I'm so happy I found Place Carmin & the next time we visit Montreal we will be back!
