Review from Crystal H.

2/22/2012 1 Check-in Here
A popular spot at Sunday lunchtime. Groups crowd outside and inside, hungry diners hope for a cup of joe while they wait. Graffiti like paint adds both wall and table flair - complete with gold! Happy that I didn't have to wait, as I was dining solo, I was swiftly put into an *afterthought* of a table. Wobbly and situated just below the upper level's exposed bench -- complete with an almost-headrest made of jackets swimming over head -- there I was, almost in the flow of traffic, facing a server's prep station. But I didn't really care. I was hungry.
The brunch menu is robust! Eggs in "nests", steak and eggs, crepes and waffles, benny's, omelettes, breakfast sandwiches, pancakes. They're all there. I went for the basics 2 eggs with ham, bacon or sausage, served with a fruit bowl, roasted potatoes and toast. There's a smaller and larger version of the same, leaving all appetites appropriately satiated.
When my over easy eggs and sausage made it to my table, I have to admit, I was a bit disappointed. It was definitely diner style with a steeper price tag. The two sausage links looked like they had been cooked in separate batches: one was blackened on one side and dry. The other was underdone, with not a hint of browning on its skin. The potatoes were missing seasoning. All in all, it was pretty dull. Perhaps I expected too much, and for ambiance, they've got it on a Sunday afternoon. I'd be tempted to test some of their more adventurous dishes - the nests are intriguing, nestled in cheese bread as the menu states.Listed in: Montreal, In a Weekend

this is my third time at the restaurant and it never fails to please. The service is impeccable. all who work there are really friendly.
I had le massif, which was amazing! the french toast was GREAT! I was full until dinner!
I have to say, though, I wish I had ordered their newest item on the menu, that my two friends had, which I tasted and was SOOOOO GOOD! It's the breakfast poutine!
I have to go back and have that! -

Want a great breakfast? Check out this cute little place. First time there, I had the Eggs in a Nest. Two thick slices of cheesy bread with an egg cooked into the middle with a side of home potatoes and fruit. Really hits the spot on a cold fall morning.
OK, so the service is a little slow but it's bearable. At least you're not waiting in line like those fools going to Beauty's. :)
When you're done, get yourself across the street for some authentic Montreal bagels! -

Very cool little place tucked away on Fairmont near Clarke. When you get inside there's a royal purple and black/white theme that plays off the name, and the patrons are all ages but biased a bit towards the faux-hipsters in the Mile End.
The food is excellent - huge plates and very reasonably priced. Other than that, not much to say - good service, friendly people, and very casual. Worth it. -

I call this a hidden gem. After trekking across town to find it (if you blink you might miss it) I was surprised to find a cute, urban chic interior with fantastic food.
You walk in through purple velvet curtains into a white interior filled with abstract paintings in black and gold of the city of Montreal. Kind of cool, gaudy, hipster all at the same time. I've now been there 4 times and keep coming back.
Favorites: breakfast poutine. It's on the specials list or you can ask for it.... but it's amazing! egg, sausage, cheese, gravy (I know I'm missing some ingredients)... etc. surprisingly filling but amazing flavor!
I love their french toasts with the yummy fruits and the options of toppings.
They even have a honey and plain yogurt dip on the side allowing you to get just enough sweet and still call it breakfast.
Their special french toast is made with cinnamon danish and topped with fresh fruit. I stayed away the first few times thinking it would be way too sweet. The waitress convinced me to try... and I'm glad I did. The fruit lightened the flavor and it was just on the edge of dessert. Yum!
Wishlist/Changes: My friend got Eggs in a nest - which was two pieces of their cheese bread with an egg right in the middle. The potatoes were a bit bland that morning and the "cheese" bread tasted like white bread. A little disappointing but still tasted good.
Their service is always with a friendly smile... but pretty slow. When you've been waiting 35 minutes-1 hour and you're one of 4 tables in the joint..... kind of a bummer. But... the food has always been well worth it and I'll keep coming back. I even brought a friend from Florida here and she was shocked at how amazing it was. Thumbs up if you're ready for an adventure to find it and are interested in a fun experience and ambiance.
