I discovered this place last year wandering around in Old Montreal. It seemed cute and cozy, and very reasonably priced. I've been here twice so far, and each experience was the same: more than reasonable portions of delicious food. First time was for brunch (4/11), second for dinner (2/12).
The brunch option came with many things.. scrambled eggs, bacon, home fries, baked beans, bread, an assortment of fresh fruit (including pineapple, kiwi, watermelon and blackberries- swoon!) with my choice of juice AND coffee or tea. Everything was cooked well, delicious and satisfying. When ordering tea, you receive a carafe of hot water with your cup, along with your choice of teas from a box they bring right to the table.
My more current dinner stop was with the boy. I went with the table d'hôte option, while he ordered à la carte. My menu included soup, entree, and dessert plus hot beverage for 16$. I chose the vegetable cream soup, which was a lot like split pea. The soup was average, but did the job of warming me up from being outside in the snowy weather all afternoon. For entrees, I had the chicken pot pie and M tried the croque-monsieur. Both were delicious and came with generous side salads. The crust on my pot pie was flaky and buttery, and the filling was by no means overseasoned. I'm not normally a ham person, but the bite of M's sandwich also tasted delicious. For dessert, my menu included a triple chocolate cake, with tea. Again- cup, carafe and the large box of teas. M ordered a chocolate mousse cake which was rich without being overindulgent.
The best part about this place is the atmosphere. While small and cozy, I didn't feel cramped. I have never felt rushed, and the service was attentive and polite. I will definitely be coming back on future trips to Montreal. -

I visit Montreal at least once a year, and I always come here for a quiet weekend brunch at least once during my visits. It's pretty much by the touristy section of town (Old Montreal), but the place somehow feels low-key and homey. Good food, good price, charming atmosphere. Will of course, come back on my next Montreal sojourn.

Went with a party of 8, ordered the special, a chicken pot pie. Delightful little atmosphere, beer on tap - even microbrews, which it was too early in the day to try. The pot pie was pretty good (7/10). I'd go again if in the area.

Went with five people for dinner, and have gone several times before for drinks and a light meal. Meat pie was great; good local fare. Good place to get a pitcher of hard cider, sit outside, and people-watch. Atmosphere - bistro - very charming. Service quick and cheerful.
