I think this is a lovely place, well situated, and the people who work there are accommodating and very friendly. We were a group and they gave us OJ and coffee gratis, which I think is unheard of these days. I gave a 4 star...because of all this. Now, the food. I had the Eggs Benedictine with spinach. I've eaten a lot of Eggs Benedict in my life and this one wasn't great. It was a huge platter as there tends to be in restos for brunch in this city, 3 halves of a roll, two poached eggs, ham, spinach, plus 4 or 5 strips of bacon, one sausage, mushrooms, potatoes, and a fruit bowl. I also had a bowl of latte at the get go. The highlight of the meal was the fruit and the latte. Sadly, I did not really enjoy the bulk of the meal, although the sausage wasn't bad, had some flavor, not overly so, but enough—in the breakfast sausage category. The rest, so-so to not-to-my-taste. And if it was just the food I would have gone 3 stars. I will say I'm picky about Eggs Benedict. I was surprised to find ham on the dish when I ordered spinach. But the spinach wasn't cooked in a pleasant way anyway. I ended up moving the eggs to one of the 3 halves of a roll(s) and eating just that, tasting the potatoes and mushrooms and bacon (of which there was a lot and left 95% of all of it). I did eat the sausage. And as said, the fruit bowl was lovely, a nice variety, all fresh, colorful. And the latte was excellent. So overall, 4 stars, but really, I wouldn't go back for brunch, though I might try lunch or dinner. There is a terrasse as well, which is always a welcome edition in Montreal.
