La nourriture est incroyablement bonne & la quantité d'alcool dans les cocktails est parfaite. Nous avons passé une excellente soirée. Je recommande à 100%.

Nothing outstanding about my brunch experience, excepted the high prices (for a very basic brunch) & the rushy-rude-ish service at the bar last sunday

A group of us came here for brunch after seeing all the good reviews, we had the eggs Benedict, lamb Reuben & chicken & waffles. While the food was good, I found it odd that we didn't get any sides with our mains, especially for the price. Usually brunch places give potatoes or something on the side but the eggs benny come with nothing. Overall, the chicken & waffles were the best choice, fried very well with a nice sauce. Also they were playing club music on a Saturday afternoon which seemed like an odd choice. Overall not a bad choice but not the greatest brunch place in Montreal for sure.

Shay food was light & delicious, the atmosphere was welcoming , the personnel were super friendly & caring, the only negative side for me was the push to sell you overpriced (nonetheless a delicious cocktail) . The mezcal was good but definitely not worth 20$
