And I'm sure the bagels are traditional Montreal bagels but I'm used to a New York bagel and these are kind of airy. Everywhere else we ate in Montreal used our debit cards, but not here. We needed to use the ATM machine and get cash which wouldn't have been a huge deal but the waitress went from being very nice to being very not nice about it. And the restaurant itself is kind of quirky. Narrow mirrors partitioned.

I ordered the Western Omelet and the portion size was very big. I barely finished it. The prices were very reasonable.

I'd say only come here for the coffee. My latte was so delicious I loved it!…read more For the food however, I did not enjoy it one bit. I only finished my omelet because I'm pregnant and needed some food in my body. I got the cathedral omelet which when it came looked so sad. The eggs were not fluffy at all and it was brownish. The prosciutto was just on top of it instead of on the inside. The potatoes were cold and had way too much seasoning on it I couldn't even eat one. Maybe I just ordered the wrong thing, or maybe all the food tastes bad?

Cute place near the port. We came here for a late breakfast and everyone enjoyed their meals. I got…read morean avocado toast but it wasn't my favorite. The avocado tasted old. Everyone else's meals were really good and their coffee was good as well. We were a larger party and the staff was super friendly. Parking is tough to find but that's all of montreal

Either way I see why the garden is the assumption. Its peaceful and funky with nice water features, art, and plenty of natural cover. Tones of birds fish and squirls are right next to you all the time and most of the seating seems like it has a good view of it. The coffee itself was pretty good as well. The iced late was a nice fresh drink on the hot day and they even had a little strawberry on the straw. Overall if you want a cute garden and dont mind a wait, its a good spot.

I love the Cortado, probably the best one I've had in Montreal. The Colombian hot chocolate was also amazing. Vegan empanadas were great. Not a fan of Buñuelo though.

Definitely recommended.

Thankfully after walking around and checking out the option I settled on this place, it had a decent crowd so I figured it was promising. They were very quick with their services having multiple people on coffee and pretty much one handling food and one floating between the register and everything else. Pretty quick service. Coffee was good, not bitter. The Lox Bagel was pretty good, although it got smashed a bit when they cut it. Pretty fresh, though the tomato wasn't ripe. Definitely a good spot to start your day.

Also, the staff transitioned from French to English with ease and no fuss. Also, it was great for my kids because of its proximity to the vortex fountain.

With plenty of seating, Les Moulins la Fayette has a friendly staff helping us with the menu and letting us know that all the bread is baked fresh on site. I opted for the breakfast croissant and that croissant was definitely fresh, buttery and tasty. I love the simple menu with all the breakfast items you would expect from a small cafe. A great spot with good coffee, pastries, hot items and fast service makes this a must visit when in the area.

Saturday morning in Montreal began with something called an Adventure Walk. "Adventure" is…read moreapparently human terminology for making a small Italian Greyhound exercise extensively before brunch. By the time we finished with our walk, I had earned a meal. Or so I thought. Next stop: Maman in Griffintown. Mom already knew Maman because apparently they have one back home on the Upper East Side. Yet somehow, despite living on the Upper East Side myself, I have never been taken there. Interesting. We will address this upon our return to New York. The Griffintown location has a really nice outdoor seating area running alongside the building, with blue café tables, big wooden pergolas and planters. Under normal circumstances, this would have been perfect for me. Unfortunately, it was raining. The staff very kindly told Mom and Dad that I could come inside as long as I remained in my carrier. Terms accepted. After an entire morning of adventuring, I had absolutely no objection to being carried around like important cargo. Mom ordered eggs Benedict and an iced latte. Dad went with scrambled eggs, bacon and toast plus a Diet Coke. I stayed tucked inside my carrier and monitored the bacon situation. Very closely. No further comment at this time. The humans declared brunch a success, and I appreciated having a warm, dry place to recover after my morning excursion instead of sitting outside contemplating my life choices in the rain. Dogba's verdict: 3 paws out of 5. Rainy-day hospitality: very appreciated Dogba welcome: kind and accommodating Carrier accommodations: cozy Outdoor patio: saving this for a sunnier day Mom's eggs Benedict: big success Iced latte: Mom approved Dad's bacon: closely monitored Classic Dad breakfast: successfully demolished Post-adventure recovery: excellent Dogba brunch supervision: impeccable Would I return? Absolutely. In fact, I've recently learned that Maman has a location in my own neighborhood in New York City. Mom has some explaining to do. See you on the Upper East Side, Maman. I know where you live now.

we managed to squeeze in one more brunch on our last day, making our way to maman in griffintown…read more walking in felt like stepping into a little rustic farmhouse tucked into the city, exposed brick, weathered wood, whitewashed furniture, vintage blue and white plates, hanging greenery and a beautiful tree like arrangement covered in delicate blooms. every corner had a story, with little details that made the space feel warm, inviting and effortlessly charming. we were a party of three and arrived around 11:00 am. before the food arrived, i couldn't resist trying one more fun drink before leaving montreal, the peach pie iced matcha latte with vanilla cloud. it was such a pretty seasonal creation, with fruity peach notes layered with creamy matcha and topped with a soft vanilla cloud. refreshing, a little indulgent and the perfect drink to sip while settling into our final brunch of the trip. for my meal, i ordered the eggs ratatouille, stewed eggplant, squash, peppers and tomatoes topped with two over easy eggs, herbed feta and served with toasted country bread. the dish was colourful, comforting and full of fresh flavours. the slow cooked vegetables gave it a homey feel, while the runny yolks and herbed feta added just the right amount of richness. it felt like the perfect brunch after days of exploring, satisfying and flavourful, but still light enough to leave me feeling good. the toasted country bread was perfect for scooping up every last bit of the vegetable mixture and egg yolk. but what made this brunch special wasn't just the food or the beautiful setting. it was the chance to slow down and take in everything we had experienced over the whirlwind trip, the neighbourhood walks, incredible meals, rainy adventures, festival memories and all the unexpected little discoveries along the way. we sat, chatted and laughed, replaying our favourite moments and realizing just how much we had packed into a few short days. our server was friendly and never rushed us, allowing us to enjoy those final conversations before heading home. there was something cinematic about that last morning, sunlight filtering through the windows, flowers blooming indoors, plates arriving at the table, and three friends taking a quiet moment to appreciate the adventure before it came to an end. a beautiful space, a memorable meal, great company and one final chapter to close out our montreal adventure. au revoir montreal...until we meet again.
