Very good breakfast. One server extremally pleasant, another one (at different time) not.

We came in for dinner, few adults & kids & also came back for breakfast on a different day

The atmosphere is very cozy
The service is super quick & the staff are very nice

There were kid friendly menu options that the kids seem to enjoy very much

Dinner 4/5
I ordered
Beef tartare which was fresh & well seasoned,also comes in a nice size portion

Ceaser salad with grilled chicken - the salad itself was nice ,I was a bit thrown off by the fact that the chicken was cold though but that might be just my personal preference

Washed it all down with the Bloody mary ( it has a different name on the menu but for the life of me I can't remember)- the cocktail comes with this bacon wrapped sosage that was very yummy , the tomato blend is tasty but was a bit light on the alcohol portion in my opinion

Breakfast/Brunch 5/5
We ordered different combos & everyone enjoyed everything!
I ordered
Eggs Benedict with duck confie , side of crispy bacon,side of crape & a Berry smoothie
The crape was delicious as is ,no need to even put maple on it
The eggs- perfectly made & I like that you can order 1 or 2 eggs. This allowed me to be able to taste more sides because ordered 1 egg.
The apple butter is delicious
The smoothie was super fresh as well
Very recommend for brunck/breakfast.Have some patiance, gets very bussy in the morning

We went for breakfast, & everything was fantastic. The crepes were amazing, & my chai latte was so flavourful I could taste the cinnamon & cardamom in every sip. Highly recommend.

Came here for breakfast & ordered the Eggs Benedict. The food was decent - not exceptional, but satisfying. Service was good & attentive, & the restaurant was clean & well maintained. Its downtown location makes it very easy to get to, especially if you're staying nearby, & it's nice that they have multiple locations around the city. If you're visiting for breakfast, I'd highly recommend trying the French toast.

We came in mid morning for breakfast & ordered breakfast poutine & the coque-madame tartine. Both are pretty good, a bit carb heavy but if you're walking around the old city, you can't go wrong. The pulled ham they use is excellent. Staff was friendly & attentive without being obtrusive.

Good choice to start your day!

I've been meaning to come here for years as it's a Quebec staple & it didn't disappoint
We had a range of excellent lunch salads & a full traditional Quebecois breakfast - all was delicious & a great place to take out of province visitors! The service was excellent & very friendly, the food was prompt & fresh
