Based on most of the previous reviews, we had high hopes but left a bit disappointed. This is not to discourage anyone from going to Cafe du Monte, but just to moderate the expectations you might have. First, it is a very large venue & it feels like the basic philosophy is to move the tables as quickly as possible. To that end, the menu is quite limited so that the kitchen has only a few dishes to prepare. Other than the soup du jour, there were not specials offered. Our waitress pushed us to order quickly & when we did, our appetizers appeared about a minute later. While we hate waiting long periods for our food, the speed of the service was truly off-putting. Indeed, because of the limited selections, we decided just to have appetizers & go somewhere else for entrees. That said, our appetizers were quite good — tuna tartare & seafood chowder. In short, as terrific as the setting is, this is not the place for a quiet well-paced dining experience. Even the view was a bit disappointing because there are plants that they have let grow up above the railing which requires one to stand up to see the river clearly. This is a good restaurant if you don't mind limited choices, sitting very close to other tables, & a fast meal.

Nourriture, service, rapidité: tout était parfait.
Seul point négatif: propreté des salles de bain qui n'est pas du tout à la hauteur de l'image de ce resto.
