We went there for dinner first, & it was amazing. All we ate was delicious, French onion soup (the best we ate in our trip) meat, burger, poutine, duck confit etc.
It was so delicious we came back again for
"Breakfast" At 12.
We ate eggs Benedict, croque monsieur, coffee, mimosas & more onion soup (yes, we're fans :)
Everything from the food & the service was spectacular.
Definitely a restaurant I'll go back again & again.

We're a little worried given it was empty but it was a Tuesday in the winter... We didn't regret it, the food was fantastic & very well presented. Croque-monsieur, parmentier (deer - you ought to try this), vole au vent (chicken) & foie gras poêlé. Overall, simple but so tasty. This place deserve to be crowded.

This was truly a wonderful evening. Please know that your service, vibe, atmosphere, & food were off the charts. Incredibly elevated dining while maintaining the atmosphere of an unassuming & low key place. Just loved it.

A cozy place with tasty food. The duck leg confit that came with the waffles was delicious. The blinis with caviar also were very good (the only flaw was the plate was very cold). Catherine gave us excellebt & cheerful attention on a very very busy day (Christmas!)
