I have been to this place multiple times & the food has been really good every time. The atmosphere is excellent & this place is always full specially around the breakfast & lunch time. Keep in mind they don't take reservations & be prepared to wait for a table unless you are extremely lucky, but the food is definitely worth the wait!
Its one of the must-go places for brunch in the city. An extensive menu with perfectly served dishes in a friendly environment. Serving organic eggs & balanced food, it has become a favorite for many (its a little crowded on weekends) The service is also spectacular, special thanks for Audrey & Andy
C'est toujours un classique apres toute ces annees! Notre groupe a ete servi par trois serveurs super cool andy, Odrey & sue. Team de feu, car on etait 12 filles bin loud. Merci!
Un petit-déjeuner délicieux & copieux ! N'hésitez pas à prendre leurs menus L'Indécis. Je recommande celui avec les crêpes au citron & ricotta avec une purée aux bleuets. Merci infiniment à notre serveuse Marguerite pour son accueil, ses conseils & sa serviabilité !
The food is fantastic! The atmosphere was like in the books, & the restaurant was clean. The bathrooms were also a surprise, as if they were characters described in Paulo Coelho's book - Highly recommended!
Perfect vibe & food. It's well severed & delicious. I recommend preparing to wait outside, keeping your eyes open to people skipping the line 👀 the staff let them in! I had to complain to have them take action about it.

Fantastic food! I ordered the indecisive with lemon ricotta pancakes & sausage. It was superb!! The service was also wonderful! The atmosphere was very chill & the restaurant was clean. bathrooms were a cool surprise too- a disco ball in one & graffiti with a black light in the other. Highly recommended!!
It's one of my top 3 places for brunch. I'm never disappointed when I go there & suprise we got to try a dish that it not officially on the menu yet...Thanks to our marvelous server that day.

Amazing brunch spot with fantastic sweet & savory options! Came by on a weekday so there was no line & plenty of seating. Staff are all super kind & welcoming. A weird highlight of the place is actually their washrooms! The washroom are completely mirrored with disco lights-it's so cool, but also so disorienting to actually logistically do your business haha The food is all delicious! The prices are high, but their portions are very large so would actually suggest sharing a single set or take half to go. I would recommend their savory options over their sweet, just because the portions are so large that having so much sugar as your first meal feels wrong. I got a matcha latte & it did not taste like matcha at all, just mostly milk-would not get again. I know this is probably not the best place to get matcha, but I was holding out hope. The bowl size was quite fun though, if you want to get your liquid fix to match these brunch sets. Overall, would recommend dropping by for brunch! It's definitely a great experience & lots of options for everyone! & don't forget to check out the washroom!
Very good vibe but I recommend you coming early to save yourself the wait for a table outside. Our waitress was super sweet & helping. I took the avocado toast & it was very good but the lemon cream was a bit sickening. I also took the pistachio latte in ice & I never tested something as good as that. Highly recommend you try it.
This was on the tail end of a 6-day trip in April 23, we made from Alberta. Taking in Montreal & Quebec city. It was raining for the last day but still warmer than our Hometown. We start the day off here with some big breakfast for the walk ahead. The duck confit Eggs Benedict plus others excellent & a bottle of champagne!. We walked in the rain & took in things. Had a great time lots of great street art. The kid got a haircut. An we have some cool Old cd's now
