Review from Alba U.

Not your average hotel bar restaurant! We were too tired to venture out our first evening, after flying in, and thought we'd have a quick snack at the hotel restaurant, with not so high expectations despite the snazzy decor. We assumed it would be over priced hype- as lifer/native New Yorkers, we pride ourselves at being able to sniff that kind of stuff out pretty quickly-- but were happily surprised to learn Renoir is a real hit!
Excellent meal, service and sexy ambiance. Be prepared for a splurge, and we suggest you sit in the bar area at one of the cocktail tables, rather than in the restaurant proper. The menu is the same, but the vibe is another notch up, in terms of decor, atmosphere, and general coolness. -

Le Renoir is an interesting spot located in the Sofitel hotel. In the summer or on warm days, they open up a patio area that looks right on to Sherbrooke street and offers some good summertime people watching. This review however is about brunch. But not really brunch as they don't really serve a special brunch menu, it is really just a breakfast menu extended past lunchtime on weekends.
This weekend was my first date in months and I wanted to start the day out as early as possible. Within moments of our arrival we were seated, had fresh OJ and French pressed coffee on the table, seconds later came some croissants and fresh baguette.
I ordered the Le Montrealais and he ordered the Stuffed French Toast. both delicious and were a good start to a great day.
Though I enjoyed our breakfast, I did find it quite pricey at 72$ for breakfast with no alcohol. It wasn't terribly innovative as a menu and nothing really stood out as special. The service was good, but once we were finished, it seemed that the waitress and the support staff didn't pay any mind. We sat with our plates for about 10 minutes before someone finally removed them.
I am eager to return, not for brunch, but for the market fresh 3 course menu the chef Olivier Perret offers Thursdays thru Sunday for 45$. -

This place smells like an airplane and unpleasant smells are a pretty big restaurant no-no. But as Renoir is inside a hotel maybe they think guests accustomed to airplane smell won't notice. The food, though not bad, is not remarkable in any way, and you're paying hotel prices
The redeeming and absolutey best part about this place is the terrasse - totally ideal for summertime drinks. Too bad that only lasts 3 months. You can sit outside in these comfy wicker couches under a canopy and it's semi-enclosed so you feel a little less downtowny.
A pretty sweet perk - addictive nuts, olives and cracks show up at the table with your drinks, and if you go in the evening they bring around some good-looking amuse bouches to taste.Listed in: Where to caffinate
