Good food, fun atmosphere, friendly staff. I really enjoyed my visit here today, I will be back for sure. Also, there was an excellent jazz band that played while I was there. So good. Maybe live music every Sunday at 17h
Littéralement meilleure buvette urbaine ! Le barman Dominique est juste Incroyable. Les serveurs sont adorables, les plats recherchés le tout étant très abordable !
Un superbe endroit dans Villeray que nous fréquentons, moi & ma copine, depuis ses débuts. L'ambiance entre effervescence & calme, le service décontracté & chaleureux sont les deux gros plus de ce ce café-buvette! La nourriture est excellente & sans prétentions. C'est à l'image du quartier, je recommande fortement! :)
I had a fantastic time, but nothing stands out as amazing. We were a small table of 7, & we tried most of the items on the menu. Everything was good, portions were inconsistent, the flavors were well-balanced, & everything tasted fresh-except for the pineapple juice, which was decidedly rotten. The service was great, just the right balance of attention & enthusiasm. The decor is cute, & they definitely put some effort into the overall aesthetic design, especially the lighting. That said, this place is not a design detour. This is perfect for your mid-week dinner with friends, but I'm only giving it 3 stars because it's way too expensive for what they serve. Would I go back? Probably, but it's not my first choice. J'ai passé un moment fantastique, mais rien ne sort vraiment du lot. Nous étions une petite table de 7, & nous avons essayé la plupart des plats du menu. Tout était bon, les portions étaient incohérentes, les saveurs étaient bien équilibrées, & tout semblait frais-à l'exception du jus d'ananas qui était carrément pourri. Le service était excellent, juste le bon équilibre entre attention & enthousiasme. La décoration est mignonne, ils ont clairement mis de l'effort dans le design esthétique global, en particulier l'éclairage. Cela dit, ce n'est pas un détour de design. C'est parfait pour un dîner en milieu de semaine entre amis, mais je ne donne que 3 étoiles parce que c'est beaucoup trop cher pour ce qu'ils servent. Est-ce que j'y retournerais ? Probablement, mais ce n'est pas mon premier choix.

The food is really tasty, the place is cute, you don't have to wait for getting a place during brunch time, & the servers are friendly. They change their menu sometimes (maybe with season). However, the price is slightly high for the quantity served of some plates.
It's a nice place, Not too far from my home. Went for drinks only, but the food looked good. People working there are nice, & make a difference. Ordered a ''' Cuba Libre'' & when they served it to me, they told me that they put a''personal twist to the recipe. & if I did not like it, they would change it to an''original'' & it was really good & made a', boring''''Cuba libre'' a bit different. But the price for drink are a bit high. 2 glass of sangria, 1 ''Cuba libre'' & 12 Oyster was about over 50$.... They know nothing else is around ....
Super bonne adresse de quartier, nous y sommes allés pour un brunch. Le service est très agréable, les prix sont raisonnables & la qualité de la nourriture est à la hauteur. Une belle adresse pour toutes occasions.
Endroit adorable, service impeccable. Nous sommes allés bruncher & tout était parfait. On a rarement mangé des patates aussi bonnes au déjeuner. Le jambon était bien braisé & goûteux, le grilled cheese un vrai délice. Nous y retournerons!
