Review from Vincci L.

Art and brunch are a perfect pair, my two favourite things crossover, and I am pretty happy!
Located at the Autumn Brook Gallery, brunch is available Saturdays and Sundays from 11am-2:30pm.
Menu has bennys, omlettes, croissant sandwiches, and brunch desserts. Chocolate cheesecake! They also have coffees and teas, as well as made to order iced teas.
I get a Camomile and Rose Petal Herbal Iced Tea, Smoked Salmon Florentine - wild smoked sockeye salmon, spinach, steam poached eggs, house made hollandaise, this also comes with herbed roasted potatoes, fresh fruit garnish, & organic mini garden salad. My friend gets the Brioche French toast with fresh Blueberries, Strawberry Compote, and Maple Syrup.
I like this place. Art all around me, windows overlooking the park across the street, a couple of white tableclothed tables for patrons to eat.
Food: yummy! My bennys were perfectly done, with the smoked salmon and spinach, and the hollandaise sauce was delicious! The salad and the fresh fruits make this even better!!
Great service, beautiful atmosphere, delicious food, and the art. This is pretty awesome.Listed in: Brunching.

Review from Phil S.

First time here today. My initial reaction was why on earth have I never stumbled across this place and hmm it feels like a place in Montreal. Brunch a la Galerie is only opened on weekends and only serve brunch on both days from 10 am - 2.30 pm. I found out about this place from Googling really while looking for a place for brunch as I am tired of the usual. So now on to what I really think...
The room - there's only a few tables located near the front of the galerie, the restaurant is part of the Art Gallery known as Autumn Brooks I believe so you can expect everything to feel rather civilized.
The food - we ordered the brunch plate and a Mediterranean omelet and have to say, that was the best omelet I've had in a long time with the fresh goat cheese and spinach! Yum!! The brunch plate came with everything one could love from croissant to yogurt to bacon, egg and fruits, talk about a healthy yet hearty breakky. The portions were not huge tho but who wants to be bloated post brunch anyways and in my opinion well priced. It appears the restaurant also runs a catering business from what I gather on the website. And they do know their food as we enjoyed the brunch tremendously.
The service - as there was only one other table filled when we were there and those guests were done before we even ordered, our server was attentive and would return to check on us every now and then without being intrusive.
I would definitely return as I enjoyed our brunch today. I hope they do well as there's not much food traffic. -

What? Us, only one of two tables here on a beautiful Sat morning? Alright, I'll drink a beautifully large americano to that and chase it with a perfectly accompanied Benny, no problem.
Sunlight streaming through the windows, paintings lining the walls, linen napkins and fresh flowers-- dare I stand and clap my hands in a standing "o" for a perfectly poached steamed egg and a flavourful, yet not filling, hollandaise? Yes, yes, yes, I say! And an encore for roasted potatoes, a tangy dressed salad and well ripened cantelope and strawberries.
Hello new brunch lover! -

My wife and I have had brunch here a couple of times. The ambiance is very pleasant, with jazz, art on the walls and a good menu. Unfortunately, they are somewhat hamstrung by a non-kitchen (essentially a hot plate or two, some other small appliances, and 1 very busy chef). That said, the omelets are decent, the eggs Benny is fair. Don't mean to damn them with faint praise, but I'm still frustrated not to have found the ultimate Sunday brunch, and this one falls a bit short.
