Très bonne découverte personnel sympa & de bons conseils. Toutefois le cochon cotes levées était trop salé à notre goût. On nous a dit que ça venait de la marinade....

I ordered the Philly-style cheesesteak, which came with a side of'au jus' & fries which I upgraded to poutine fries. The sandwich itself was decent, but the'au jus' was a huge letdown. It was a thick, overly peppery sauce with an odd sweetness that didn't pair well at all. If you're looking for something to dip your sandwich in, I'd highly recommend going for a French onion soup. My girlfriend ordered it, & once I used her soup as the dip, the cheesesteak was so much better. Unfortunately, the poutine didn't impress either-it lacked the richness & flavor you'd expect, making the overall meal fall short of expectations. Despite the food, the service was excellent. Philippe, our waiter, was attentive & friendly, which made the experience more enjoyable. Sadly, the meal itself just wasn't a culinary highlight.

Fantastic restaurant with a great breakfast/brunch menu. I got the eggs Benedict with lox & she got the vegan sandwich. The food was incredible. The potato's were nice & crispy & the hollandaise sauce on the eggs was so flavorful. The waiter even brought us fruit smoothies to try for free. The coffee was great & the restaurant was clean & well decorated. The bathroom facilities were state of the art with a really cool sink/hand dryer combo. This place was incredible!

The food was not bad, but I was waiting something more flavourful. The service was good (we spoke in English with the waiter). We got a table in a small room, so it was not super comfortable.
