This is my absolute favourite brunch spot in Montreal! The food & drinks are all delicious, with unique flavour combinations, and the space is super cosy.
The dishes come out at a reasonable speed and the staff are always polite and friendly! Huge shoutout to the servers who bore through me trying to speak French and even offered me tips to improve :) I’m currently learning the language and I truly appreciate it when people let me practice with them.
I highly recommend the yuzu pain perdu, beurre noisette saumon, pistachio latte, and matcha latte. And a tip, if you’re going on a weekend, make sure you arrive early, because it gets quite busy and wait times can be long!

Bad services. Long wait and $$$. Not sure it's a success combo. Waitress need to realise that when you charge $45 ok n average per person for a brunch Yiu need to be nice and polite to people. The girl with a big hair needs to chill a bit and not show attitude. Just our thought.

Services not great the waitress was rude. We asked for a small change and she jumped to the wall. We were shocked. We can spend $8 on a late elsewhere.

Got there at 10am on a Sunday and there was no line (group of 4). By the time 12pm rolled around, there was already a line forming. Amazing food, drinks and service. The yuzu french toast is a must get!

The service was terrible! We ordered 2 dishes, one for my husband and one for me. After waiting 50 minutes, they only brought my husband's dish. He started eating so that his food wouldn't get cold, and when he finished, my dish still hadn't arrived. Finally, I canceled my order and had to leave without eating. When I told the waiter that it was unacceptable, he said that they were opening another restaurant and had some of their staff at the other location, which is why they were overwhelmed. Personally, my experience was very disappointing. I can't say if the food was good or not because I didn't get to try it.

Overpriced meals and drinks. It’s really just an “instagramable” place. Wait time 1hr+ for groups of 4 or more. Expect to spend minimum 30$+ per person.
Our group all ordered iced lattes (with a charge to make it iced?) and they all had uneven quantities of liquid. Almost felt like some drinks had 1/3 spilled. We asked the server if those who had less could get them to remake it and she looked annoyed.
The portions were small considering the price. Also for vegans; option is alright, tofu is dry and bland.

Recommend their specialty coffee and drinks, taste fresh and rich. The food, not my style, mixed too much different ingredients, styles and cultures and ends up as neither tasty nor quality. We had high expectation, but the food only looks good. Disappointed.

It was a friendly brunch that drove me to that place. I had heard of it on social network and wanted to check if it was worth it.
Short story: it is worth it but a bit overrated.
Let’s dive into detail:
Service : service was bulletproof. We had to wait for about 40-45 minutes to get a table. While waiting at some point, servers came to offer mini chocolate bread on the house. It was a very nice attention and that drew the line where the quality of service is in that place. Honestly, it is excellent, and I really liked the experience.
Ambiance: on a Sunday afternoon for pride, it was busy as hell and a bit noisy, but the decoration is something and I loved to just observe it.
Menu: the choice is pretty diverse but the prices are a bit on the high end. It is a fancy brunch :). I had a hard time choosing amongst some watermouthing options.
Food: when it got here, damn it got the looks ! Food looked so good, I took the speculos latte and sort of a tartine. Taste wise I’d say I preferred how it looked. My latte was… just a typical one. You could hardly taste the speculos. I tried the pistachios latte though and it is much better! Regarding the main dish, it was good but the grilled cheese, although looking awesome, was not as good. It was unbalanced.
All in all, I will not come back but I’d say that it was something of an experience !
Highly recommend the waffle and chicken. It is a true masterpiece ✨️ on the Truffe & Champignons the sauce wasn't as heavy as a hollandaise, so I could walk after the dish ;)

Overrated and disappointing. Definitely not worth the 2.5 hour wait. The service was especially frustrating, after we spoke up about being seated first, our waiter intentionally took the order of a table that arrived after us, further delaying ours. Completely unprofessional. The food itself was just average, nothing memorable. There are far better brunch spots in Montreal with much better service. Wouldn’t return.

I was excited to try this place because of their coffees that I saw on instagram, however the waiter was extremely rude… which made me regret the moment I got seated. The presentation of the croque monsieur was unappealing… they threw some orange sauce in the whole plate around the sandwich that looked like vomit. The quality of the food was nothing special. Prices are way too high for what it’s offered. This restaurant is a one time try due to their advertising!! Don’t waste your your money there! There are better brunch places in Montreal!
