Not a lot of options on the menu for meat lovers. Eggs, bacon & ham all had the same back taste like beef grease from all being cooked on the same griddle. Not good. The Pecan Pie French Toast was not that great, simple pecan pie filling place in the middle. A bit boring. No fruit on plates. Server & hostess were nice & polite. Place was clean.
Mon chocolat chaud nutella était très boff je ne le recommande pas, par contre, l'assistte de pains dorés au tiramisu était excellente. Un peu chère mais ingrédients de qualité
The food is amazing!! Service is good, but sometimes very busy to have refill or long to wait for a drink. Is a cute restaurant that I didn't try before as it looked like a disco bar from the outside. My daughter tried, & it really looked good, so I gave it a shot, & to my surprise that I was blown away by the flavors of my food . I'm definitely going back as I have to keep trying other things on the menu.

Au départ, nous étions incertaines de rester à cause du nombre de personnes qui attendaient. La gestion du line-up, c'est fait de main de maître. Le service c'est fait rapidement. La nourriture était incroyable & la quantité plutôt très généreuse. Notre serveur était d'une gentillesse & bienveillance exceptionnelle. Le prix m'a étonnamment surprise. Je suggère à tout le monde d'aller essayer!
Crowded place for brunch, not too many options on the menu. Very pricey, but considering the portions, the price is worth it! My friend got the blueberry ricotta cake & she loved it! I had the omelette which was perfect (could have used more cheese, but i may be biased as i love cheese). They had their signature maple syrup which i did not get to try as i did not want to combine the syrup on my plate. The potatoes were perfectly done & warm, & the servers were polite. There is a big parking spot for cars! There was also a wait line however it went quite quickly (as we were two people). The decor & ambiance is very welcoming & cool. Would recommend if you want to have a fancier brunch!
Our server Ghiles was the best. Been here 2 times & he was our server both times. Courteous, patient explained everything & offered suggestions all with a smile
Portion sizes are too big ... food is good. Place is mostly crowded. Saint Ambroise Bénédicte has tooooo many onions. French toasts are good but the portion size !! Omg ...

Cool atmosphere. Convenient parking. Was there on Friday morning for brunch. We were a party of 4. Were given a booth. It was uncomfortably tight (we're not large people). Service was prompt & courteous. Plates were very well presented & generous but rather bland tasting. Music got rather loud as noon rolled around especially since restaurant was only quarter full.
Cute little place ended up here by accident decided to order our standard breakfast wife didn't really like they way her eggs tasted & mine were nothing special staff was nice & quick & the atmosphere was fun but a little all over the place I guess it worth a try everyone has different tastes I guess
Great service, great atmosphere, & the food is some of the best breakfast food I've had. I chose the lemon ricotta pancakes from the indecisive menu, & my friend chose the tiramisu French toast. It was absolutely delicious. I also had the Oreo milkshake, which was phenomenal - tasted just right, not too sweet - great consistency. The service was great too, the team really knew how to coordinate & we were well taken care of. Pro-tip - better to arrive before 10:30am on the weekends. It was nice & quiet when we came in at 10:15. At around 11, the rush started out of nowhere & was busy until we left around 12:45. Will definitely be back! If you don't find parking in the parking lot, the side streets are a great option.
Très bruyant. On m'a remis le menu anglais, alors qu'on venait d'échanger en français. Assiettes moins copieuses que L'avenue sur rue Mont-Royal.bon déjeune
