My friends & I reserved a late brunch this past Saturday & were greeted with a warm smile & welcome by Talia. She told me on arrival that she had noted my request to be seated away from the front door, & not close to any serving areas, & said that she had taken the liberty of reserving a lovely booth for us & pointed it out. We were ecstatic as the place was jumping & people were pouring in, & we were a few minutes early. Talia suggested we have a seat at the bar if we'd like a cocktail in the mean time, & we did so. Once at the bar we were told we would get an even better table, a boott at the front window which was just perfect! We even had a little heater blasting hot air as it was frigid still out. Later the manager, Olivier came over to check on us to see if we were happy with everything, the service, the table, the meals? Everything was just spot on! The meal (benedict with lamb & hollandaise) was superb, our drinks were frothy & strong & our dessert of Baklava Pancakes was to die for, ambience just warm without music blaring either, & they happened to play a favorite piece of music of mine :) I normally don't write reviews but everybody was so welcoming & the food well worth it that I couldn't resist. If you're an out of towner, this is just a treat to have such delicious & beautiful food served in your Montreal assiette! Enjoy. You must go, & reserve ahead!

Everything was amazing about this restaurant. From the service & friendly staff to the incredible brunch food. We ordered & shared the shishtaouk chicken & waffles as well as the baklava pancakes. The chicken was so moist, delicious & not greasy at all. The waffles were light & fluffy. The baklava pancakes were amazing also light & fluffy & that topping was super delicious. Fresh orange juice & mimosa rounded out our brunch. This is now one of my two favourite brunch places in the city. They have a lot of staff & they seamlessly work like a well oiled machine. Food is fast to come out even with a full dining room. & they never make you feel rushed. Also seating is done well so you never feel like you are squished in. We were very impressed & highly recommend this place. Make sure to have a reservation as they unfortunately had to decline walk ins.

Terrace seating was very nice for brunch. Everything we ordered was amazing except for the shakshoka which was average. The pancakes are a must try!

What a spectacular dining experience we had! Such a great menu & very welcoming staff. We went for brunch with 2 young kids & everything on the menu was so tempting..made it hard to decide. The pancakes are out of this world & an absolute must! Cocktails are delish...& they have bottomless mimosas!!! (Something I'll indulge in when I'm not with the little ones lol). Highly recommend & look forward to going back soon.
