Excellent place for brunch! We went there as a family, with a 2 year old baby. The person at reception was incredibly patient and kind 😍😍😍

My friend & I wanted to go this Sunday morning, Sept. 22nd for breakfast to Brasserie Bernard, but unfortunately, it was closed for renos and a nice and polite gentleman told us what’s going on apologetically for today and tomorrow (Monday) only & kindly directed us to go to Le Petit Italien a few doors to the west. We went there, but they only opened at 5PM. Strike 2. Right next door, we decided to give Café Souvenir a chance and entered. A pleasant-looking middle-aged woman greeted us “Bonjour comment ca va ?” I answered her politely and in a very friendly tone, “I’m great & You ?” Her quick reply, “Tres bien Merci !” indicated that she totally understood what I said. At that very moment, I wasn’t going to stay there and spend any money there, if only for the reason that she clearly didn’t even want to try to speak my language. It is my opinion, that she was trying to make a statement and I was going to have none of it, period. I don’t care if she’s not capable of speaking the language that I spoke to her in; she could make an effort at an attempt, and I would gladly assist her and make her feel at ease, but to not make any attempt is unacceptable. I’m not going to tell any businessperson what he/she should do to correct this so that this never happens again. I’d defend any person’s job integrity until they refuse to do what’s best for the company and the customers who actually pay their salaries. Business is not a place to make any statement other than, how can I best serve you and make as much money as I can.

Warning!!!!you will get sick avoid this place!!! my family and I went to eat at this restaurant four weeks ago. Their pancake tasted weird. We mention to the manager, she said their pancakes have been made this way for 30 years. When we got home we were sick all night, vomiting. One of my friends also went to eat with his family yesterday and the same thing happened to him with everyone being sick at night. They are obviously stuck up in their own ways and have issues with their cleaning and ways of doing things . “safety check should be done as soon as possible in this restaurant!

I have been going to Cafe Souvenir for decades. It has always been consistently great even when the ownership changed a few times. While the former concept was fantastic with the passport menu and more choices than you could ever try, I love this current ownership and iteration of the cafe and menu. It’s owner run, so they know what they’re doing and the attention to detail is there. Warm milk with your coffee, omelettes brought straight from the pan, to name a few details I appreciate. They know how to cook; French from France style. So many restaurants in Montreal have gone up in price and down in value. Not Cafe Souvenir! They are doing it well and I highly recommend them. Great, friendly service. One of my regular brunch places.

Its the only place that i know where the pan is brought to you to see if the egg is cooked to your satisfaction !!!!
I use to go there each time I’m coming to this area and before it was absolutely delicious, however, this time it was absolutely awful! The bread was full of water the potatoes was over cooked and the ham was not the ham they use to put…Also the sauce for the Benedict eggs was tasting water. Really for the last 20 years it was the worst experience ever! Unfortunately I will not go back there and I don’t recommend it anymore…please do something for the regular customers…

Quaint neighborhood Cafe across from the theater. The Omelette was outstanding! I ordered decaf coffee and it tasted wonderful.

My recent visit to Cafe Souvenir left much to be desired. Not only was the food mediocre, particularly the chicken egg benedict, but the service was also subpar. We had to repeatedly ask for things, and my coffee order was forgotten entirely. Even when requesting a refill, only half of my mug was filled, and the milk arrived almost when we were leaving. Overall, a disappointing experience that I won't be repeating.
