Review from Bobby A.

Excellent spot to brunch if you want to avoid the hassles and line-ups of L'Avenue but at the same time want to try unique dishes for brunch without having the same old same old.
Came yesterday to try out the brunch with a friend and both of us were mightily pleased and have already decided we are definitely coming back to try the other items.
Some of the intriguing items included a Pumpkin Parfait and Gingerbread French toast, they change their menu often and unfortunately they don't update the website menus accordingly so it was nice to walk in and be surprised.
I also really dug the fact that David Bowie was playing on the speakers and that a bit later on, they had a live acoustic performance, which was nice sedate background music for a chill Sunday brunch.1 Previous Review: Show all »

Review from Christina C.

So smitten!
This was by far the coolest place to be on St. Catherine St. And believe me, I should know. We spent nearly two hours walking it on both sides on our brief visit to Montreal.
The cute patio caught my eye (even though it was too cold to use it) but the warm glow and menu outside really sealed the deal.
It's a seat-yourself establishment with incredible local art lining the walls. The bar is tucked in the back corner and I was crushing hard on the front banquet table and plush couch. The smell of something fried immediately made my stomach growl, but first... vino. There were only a handful of wine options, and bottles were all over $30. A little shocked by that one, but maybe that's the going price for wine in Montreal?
Our server greeted us and offered a menu that was both in French & English (win -- we don't speak or read French.)
The menu was full of traditional comfort foods with flair and everything truly sounded delicious. Poutine, spaghetti, sandwiches... yumm! But my heart was already sold on the fried.... the fried cajun chicken poppers, that is. To my delight they were made of real chicken pieces and served with a zesty lemon dipping sauce and mixed with some greens. Not too filling, but enough to nibble.
Our service was impeccable and overly friendly. It really made our experience here exceptional.
Even though I had great table company, I was totally distracted by taking in every awesome, quirky detail of the decor in this place. Cafe Theatre is awesomely cool. Totally romantic. And definitely comfortable. Bravo!
My only wish is that I saved room for dessert. Chai chocolate creme brule, anyone?? zomgListed in: Yelpin' On The Road, Oh, Canada
