Terrible service, sat down waited 10 minutes no one came to see us, it wasn’t busy, add to get up ask for coffee and still no one came staff busy chatting with each other, we got up and left.
If you want to be ignored and have your appetite spoiled, this is the place. There was no one at the reception, after waiting for 5 minutes hoping that one of the waitresses walking around would greet us, finally a lady with a glass asked how many of us, I told her 3 and she seated us on a table facing the entrance, btw it’s winter time in Montreal and it wasn't the only table available, I asked if we could sit somewhere else and the lady turned around and told me (without looking at me) that I needed to wait because all the other tables were not clean, I replied that no problem we can wait, then she walked away and started serving other customers, we waited another 5 minutes and didn't see anyone cleaning the table...after another few minutes another family came (apparently the reception was still no one) The mother of the family had lost her patience and walked around us and headed inside, I kindly reminded her that there was a waiting line and she replied that there was no one and we should grab our own seats and then they sit on the one of table of their choice. I saw one of the waitresses walk towards them, I thought she was going to ask them to wait in line but I was wrong, she started clearing their table. I told another waitress we were waiting in front of that family, this waitress told me the table was smaller and unless we could squeeze in otherwise we sould have to keep waiting. At this point, I don’t think this is the place for us. Would never consider visiting again.

Horrible attempt at service..they had a place available the hostess said they would be cleaning it and then they will seat us-- she then proceeded to seat the party ahead us ...she then came back to tell us they were full and that we would now have to wait a very long time to be served
They delivered this message very no eyecontact and nonchalantly.
First and last time for me.

One of my fav breakfast spots but I usually go to the one on st Martin...the service could have been better at the Tiemens location!

This is my favourite breakfast place, it was crowded and it took a bit longer than one would expect, but the server team was awesome, super nice and the food was delicious too.

Very bad service with the waitresses who lack politeness and do not speak French when approaching us, we are in Quebec and French must take precedence. Good food overall.

There are around twenty of us at the entrance, no one has come to see us, there are lots of empty tables and lots of tables waiting to be cleaned, it's ridiculous. It's been 15 minutes, we're all at the door, no one has come. The employees pass by us as if we don't exist.

Arrive on a Friday at 6:10 a.m. for lunch but the restaurant is closed. Why post times that you are not able to respect?
I had an omelette with avocado and cheese and home fries and it was all delicious!!
