Loved the atmosphere! Smoked salmon bagel was great but not as filling on its own. Poached egg was alright but the meal was large!

Busy and lively cafe with a good atmosphere in Old Montreal. I ordered an americano which was tasty; more of a traditional Italian espresso blend. For food I ordered the Lac Brome which was decent but not anything spectacular. I found that it lacked a bit of flavour. The server was very professional and friendly! I would come back here but to try another item off of the menu.

I got the salmon lox bagel (brunch nordique) and I really really enjoyed it!! It was perfectly salty and toasted and the sauce on it was really good. The potatoes on the side were amazing! The waiter was very nice and the service was really great. Would recommend!!

I tried the Santé and my wife got the Nordique. Both dishes were very good and I loved the goat cheese pesto on the Santé. Smoked salmon bagel was quite good, although it didn’t have a very smoky flavor. While I enjoyed it very much, I have to give it a 4 star for the price (paid $60 CAD before tax for 2 people). It is quite expensive, and prices are getting closer to a more upscale French restaurant, but the ambiance of this restaurant doesn’t match a fine dining experience. Many of the tables are long with bench seating shared with other customers. It was very loud as well and hard to hear someone across from you. I still liked the look of the restaurant and the waitress was very friendly, I just think prices should come down a little for what you get.

Went in for a breakfast, a bit "school cafeteria" wibes from seating perspective but food was great (took a pulled pork grilled cheese) and the staff was super friendly. Would definitely go again to check out other breakfast options :)

Second time coming in over 5 years and still as amazing as I remembered. Service was very friendly and the food is beyond good. Cozy on a cold morning and perfect for a date

There is nothing French in this “boutique restaurant”. It's expensive, and it's bad. I strongly advise against trying to find something quality here. If you just want to enjoy a “loft” style decor it’s perfect but it won’t go any further. When it comes to food, however, it’s really something to avoid. A distasteful cafe in a nice setting. The service is slow and unpleasant, and they are quick to ask for tips on takeaway meals.

Good address, a little expensive (2 eggs Benedict, shredded duck and a few potatoes + 1 drink) $84 all inclusive for 2 people, this is also due, I think, to the staff in large numbers 12 or 13 for 34 customers at the time we were eating… this does not encourage us to have a starter, a dessert and/or a coffee. That said, it was well cooked (small lack of seasoning but nothing serious) with fresh produce. Nice choice of products to take away.
Very bad experience! I went to Cartet last week to place an order for 30 pastries (for today's date), the lady asked me to leave her my email details. Cell..., which was done, she then confirmed to me that she had taken note of my order and that everything was fine. I arrive this morning at the agreed time, and to my great surprise the chef looks at me then says ahhh yes yes it's true yes you yeah!! Then leaves...I understand that my order was indeed forgotten. The waiter started going back and forth then decided to take the pastries that were on the counter. So far so good, I'm keeping calm. The lady comes back with the “collected” order, I pay for everything and leave a tip with a big smile! Then guess what she told me: Yes.. you had to send an email to confirm the order!! Hahaha I told him that I had come in person for this and that at no time was I asked to send a confirmation by email! Even the reservations I made for big events, just one phone call was enough and it was up to the establishment to send a written confirmation and not to the client! Why leave my email in this case and if you really didn't take my order seriously and you weren't sure, the least you could do was call me since you have my cell phone. I discovered later that half of the pastries were those from the day before...shame on you! Out of all the cafes on McGill Street, I chose you... but by thinking you were smarter than the others, you lost a customer. THANKS

Perfect service! It’s increasingly rare to be well served with good humor and professionalism. Really well done for being so warm and attentive! The food is also very good ?

Good food but breakfast skillets are very overpriced. Taste is okay. Pulled pork sandwhich was unique and delicious. Cappuccino was also good.

We really enjoyed this delightful little bistro/market. Our server was delightful. I forgot to take pictures. My scrambled eggs with asparagus and goat cheese was quite delightful. I would do it again for certain. My husband also enjoyed his croissant with ham eggs and cheese. Not much ham on the sandwich tho.
