Our friendly and attentive staff will make you feel as though you’ve walked through the fabric of time to the other side of the world. Prepare your tastebuds, they’re in for an amazing experience!

I've been to this restaurant many times now & today I got served by Sabrina & the quality of her service is what prompted me to write this google review: she was very attentive to our table, always making sure we're not missing anything & even managed to get us places on the terrace even though it was pretty full. I wish every restaurants had service like that. Highly recommended if you like trying different cuisine whilst having a good experience.

Great Mediterranean restaurant in Griffintown. I've tried both brunch & supper & the food is simply amazing! Host even accommodated us even though I had reserved the wrong Friday night for party of 5 at peak hours.

🔥 Shay - Brunch goals, achieved.

Shay knows how to deliver a proper brunch.

We started with the ricotta pancakes-fluffy, rich, & stacked high with whipped cream, nuts, & a touch of magic. Easily some of the best I've had.

But the surprise standout? The lamb eggs Benedict. Perfectly poached eggs over tender lamb with a hollandaise that hit just right. Bold, rich, & totally addictive.

Everything else-from the pillowy pita & labneh to the spiced sausage & iced coffee-just tied it all together.

The vibe was dialed-in too: modern, lively, but still chill enough to enjoy the meal without feeling rushed.

10/10 brunch spot. Will definitely be back.
