    So I was looking for a good brunch place near the Le Plateau-Mont Royal area, and Yelp led me to this place. Let me just say that the portions are HUGE. For around $18, including tip, you can get a hearty breakfast of eggs, toast, potatoes with herbs, a bowl of fruit -- cantaloupe, honeydew, pineapple, strawberry, grapes, oranges (more fruits than I've eaten in a loooong time), sausage, bacon, smoked salmon, a coffee, orange juice, etc. And this is just one order.

    The food was all well-done, but rather unremarkable overall. But for the value, it simply cannot be beat. Service was cordial and attentive. No complaints -- the food was well-executed, just nothing particularly exciting. Overall a solid brunch spot.

    Really not a huge fan. I've been here 3-4 times. Each time I'm a little underwhelmed. There's just nothing that stands out that I can comment on. Nothing's bad, don't get me wrong. I just can't give it 4 stars.

    The building itself is super weird. Have a good look around. Everything's been built and renovated by an amateur. Electrical plugs without covers, unfinished ceramics, holes in the drywall, etc... The owner has no attention to detail. It's been the same for years now! Everything feels like an unfinished project.

    There is something both pretty and ramshackle about La Petite Marche (watchout for that small step) with it's narrow, romantic wooden terasse on St Denis, wooden details, successive rooms opening with columns, theatrical inner space, cozy corners with benches... Directly across from the National Theatre School and full of food and drink at fairly student-friendly prices, La Petite Marche often hums with the young, focused, inspired energy of a highly competitive arts school.

    The plates are bountiful, bright, fresh and filling, perfect to sit and graze on through from breakfast to afternoon. The menu is several pages of fairly standard Quebecois cafe food done with heart and a big spirit. Tasty on several levels.

    Very cute restaurant on Saint-Denis, perfect for breakfast or lunch.  Large indoor seating area, and quaint little patio, perfect for sitting on a nice sunny day.  The food is quite good, and served in very large portions, and at prices that are easy on the wallet.  The service from our waitress was excellent & friendly.  This place is probably worth 4 and 1/2 stars - check it out!

    It's going to feel awkward standing in one doorway after another, feeling in the way of busy servers looking for somebody, anybody to tell you where to sit. You'll be tempted to tap someone speeding by with a tray in their hands to ask for a hostess in  what feels like three big houses stitched together to make the restaurant that is La Petite Marche.
    Worry not weekend bruncher, they see you and they will get you tucked in at a table so you can have a long, leisurely brunch consisting of so many wonderful flavors - just for you.
    *If you can talk your way into the skylight room do it - great light and adds to the whole experience.

    Lots of menus will be handed to you, look for the brunch menu. Order some crepes that come with (deep breath):
    Eggs
    bacon
    ham
    sausage
    sauteed mushrooms
    baguette
    fresh fruit
    maple syrup
    coffee

    No kidding. Sound like too much? Mais non. Just a little taste of everything on your plate. It's sooooo good.
    Noise level can be a little high, it looks difficult to maneuver a stroller through and tables can be pretty close together.
    The food is completely worth it. Bring a friend to catch up with and enjoy this hidden gem.

    Excellent brunch.  I had the crepes with cheese and mushrooms, with a side of great fresh fruit.  Everyone at our table was quite pleased with their selection.  Great setting and good atmosphere.  Lots of seating available, so good for groups.

    This is probably my favorite breakfast place in Montreal. Food is fresh, yummy, colorful, i just really love it all. I used to work around the corner so I grabbed take-out at least 3-4times a week, sometimes for bfast, lunch or dinner. As good as it gets.

    I find that Montreal severely lacks in good, satisfying breakfast cafes. Amber M's review above (or below?) is lovely, and really describes the chaos that is La Petite Marche. But the reason it is so chaotic there is because Montreal lacks breakfast options that are as good, as fresh, and as tasty as La Petite Marche. Walkable from nearly everywhere in the Plateau, but a little far, La Petite Marche for some, it is definitely worth it.

    j'adore la petite marche! the food is tres delicious, and everything on ur plate is fresh and full of flavor. gets really busy on the weekends, but the wait is worth it. the staff is usually running around and sometimes hard to get a hold of but only cos its so busy. the patio (though tight) is wonderful to sit at on a warm day, but the sunroom inside is equally nice.
    lots of variety on the menu, mainly eggs bennies, crepes and omelettes. portions are huge, and they come with a lot of sides: sauteed mushrooms, seasoned roasted potatoes, bacon, ham, sausage, fresh fruit, foccacia toast! and the most perfect poached eggs! around $16 per average with coffee/tea/juice

    must try: poached eggs on foccaccia with smoked salmon :)
