Overrated and overpriced for brunch. Worst blessed eggs I've tasted, yet it's the specialty. Coffee is good though :)

Here is a fluid and corrected version for your opinion on Café Cherrier:
Café Cherrier is a traditional Montreal institution, where you always feel welcome. The owner, Jacques, is often present and ensures that everything is perfect. The team of servers is exceptional: attentive, friendly and efficient.
At the bar, Abigail and Nicolas stand out for their know-how. They prepare the best Cosmopolitans and Negronis in town, with attention to detail and a smile that's always there. Their friendliness makes each visit even more pleasant. The wine list is well chosen, and you can always have enriching conversations with them.🫶🏻🍹
The clientele is mainly made up of regulars, but we also meet new faces who come to discover this elegant and warm place.
In terms of cuisine, traditional French dishes live up to their reputation, with consistent quality and taste. Special mention for the traditional onion soup, a classic perfectly executed with its melting cheese on top. 🤩
Café Cherrier offers a great diversity of spaces: high seats at the bar, tables for intimate moments or for groups. The toilets are always spotlessly clean.
A must for lovers of good food and a timeless atmosphere in Montreal.
Vegetarian options: Although the menu focuses primarily on traditional French cuisine, Café Cherrier offers a few vegetarian options. For example, certain salads or dishes can be adapted for vegetarians. Don’t hesitate to ask the staff for recommendations, who are always helpful. 🥗
Dietary restrictions: The menu has options that may accommodate some dietary restrictions, but it's best to check with the staff, who are always available and attentive to meet guests' specific needs.
Kid-friendliness: Café Cherrier is a welcoming place for families. Although the atmosphere is elegant and traditional, it is perfectly suited to welcoming children. The servers are attentive and accommodating, and there is enough space to feel comfortable as a family. 🧑🧑🧒

Service is slow and is not a good place to have a business lunch.

Café Cherrier is one of our favorite restaurants and we enjoy going there regularly. Last night there were a lot of people and the kitchen was slower than usual. On the other hand, the dishes and the service were excellent.

As always a « sure bet » for a Sunday brunch !!! Service was friendly and efficient. It can get pretty crowded on weekends so make sure you reserve in advance. Café Cherrier is a must if you’re visiting or Montrealers alike.

The Cherrier café never disappoints in terms of atmosphere.
However, I am disappointed with their offering of gluten-free options. For dinner, even the warm goat's cheese salad couldn't be made gluten-free, since 'all the goat's cheese had already been pre-assembled on a crust'. I found my second choice, the mussels marinière, ordinary. So were the fries that came with them.
Finally, I think that a place like the Cherrier café can afford to keep a small quantity of gluten-free sliced bread, frozen, in order to be able to offer some to its customers upon request (just like they serve the baguette at the start of the meal at the majority of customers). I understand that fresh gluten-free bread doesn't keep well, but keeping some frozen is a very affordable option, and it would make all the difference for customers who have a very frustrating food allergy!

Very good brunch. Good service. When it's full like Sunday lunchtime it's noisy because the tables are very close together.

An institution in Montreal. You will find all the classics of French cuisine there such as black pudding, lamb navarin, mussels marinières, floating island. The meal was excellent and the service was attentive and friendly. I recommend!
