I had to stop myself from devouring it in three bites. I also loved the hot chocolate. It came with two sugar packets and tasted like quality cacao. The tiramisu was equally scrumptious as it was dipped in syrup instead of rum. I love Cafeterra and highly recommend it.

The plating and cutlery are well thought out with great textures. My flat white was pretty tasty, and the bacon was savory and thick. The bad: my Shakshuka was subpar. I ate it because I was hungry and the service was so bad I thought I'd never get another dish if I sent it back. It lacked flavor and cohesiveness. In comparison to those I've had in the past, this was far and away the worst. I've never had to add salt and pepper to Shakshuka. The Ugly: the service was the worst I've had in years. Maybe ever. It took about 10 minutes to get greeted. The place wasn't crowded. Half the staff just stares through you. My wife had to wait an additional 5 minutes for avocado toast and smoked salmon, dishes that require no cooking. We have our toddler son with us, and when we asked for a bowl and hot water we were told they didn't have bowls. Only to serve the bread for my dish in, you guessed it, a bowl. Next to a bowl of bacon. When we scanned the room we noticed the other table with black patrons hadn't been served and they got here before us. You couldn't pay me to come back here.

Our first stop, and first time at Cafe Lulu meant we needed a quick bite. We came in around…read more9:30-9:40 AM and the place was about half full, so it was easy to walk in and order. I liked that they had different items out on display that looked fresh. The menu was in French, but one of the women working there noticed we might need help and asked us what we were looking for. So friendly! She also helped us figure out what was gluten-free / gluten-friendly. We ordered a gluten-free avocado toast with an egg sunny side up (pretty solid) a ham and cheese croissant (they pressed it so it was dense and it was perfect) , and we had originally brought our own coffee in to-go cups, but they transferred it into mugs for us when we stayed. I was worried about an extra charge for doing that, but there was none, which was a nice touch. A couple notes: - They take credit cards - Wi-Fi is available - One weird/practical thing: you can't use a laptop until 3 PM so I wouldn't really come here in the morning if I needed somewhere to work. - They seem to be known for their crêpes, although we didn't try one, so I might come back! The total came out to $19.83 CAD. The tables weren't very clean, but overall, a nice experience and glad that the ambience was quiet and welcoming for the morning.

Looking spontaneously for a brunch place in Montreal is a great challenge. Most "known" places are…read morefull to the brim, or will kindly inform you that the next availability would be at 13h (maybe). Well, I think we can add Péché to the list of "known" brunch places, because it was really, really good! I suggest you give it a try before people catch on to it! We went there on a Sunday, right before noon. The place was fairly quiet and relaxing, with a modern and elegant interior. The brunch and lunch menu overlap sometimes after 11h, and you can order from both! Service was courteous and informative, althought the kitchen was kind of slow that morning. We got the Boudin, the Steak et Oeufs and the Tartine Benedictine. The food came at the same time, looking very appetizing and in good portions. The steak was medium rare, sliced already. The meat was tender and juicy, and particularly good mixed into the runny yolk and gravy. The potatoes were tasty and filling. The Benedictine was lifted by a nice goat cheese and the salad was fresh. The orange juice was also freshly squeezed! Very nice spot! I would go back and definitely recommend it to brunch afficionados who dislike waiting in like 30 min for regular eggs and toast. Prices are within the average brunch range. Oh! And they have a neat absinthe dispenser at the bar!

Amazing place for studying/working, quick brunch with friends, taking a break from shopping in…read moredowntown, etc Think: wework meets cafe. It's a huge space with plenty of seating and even booths/areas that could be good for having meetings. Seriously, a lot of the furniture/chairs looked similar to what I've seen in my office/weworks. We came around 8:45 on a Saturday and learned that while the cafe is open early, the kitchen opens at 9am, but they still let us preorder something. We got a pastry, matcha latte, and shakshuka. The pastry was delicious. It was a tomato and pesto pastry with goat cheese. The pastry was so flaky and soft at the same time. My mom ate the tomato lol but the goat cheese and pesto combo was chefs kiss. Lots of other sweet pastries looked decadent. The matcha latte (unsweetened) was shockingly great quality. Dark green color, strong matcha flavor, probably the best in the area (though I've only tried a couple matchas). I would highly recommend if you want something that's not grocery store bought quality. Shakshuka was also one of the best I've had. A lot of times it's watery but this tomato base was thick and flavorful. Little seeds of pomegranate were a nice surprise. The (sourdough?) bread that comes with it was also so good, but it only comes with two slices and since the shakshuka was pretty big portion we had to order more. Not sure if this is also a public space, but if so it's even better as a place to rest between shopping! Has WiFi, outlets, and restrooms. Note: I tried to come back a couple days later but on Google Maps it said closed everyday. Not sure if it's bc of vacation.

It was both filling and delicious. I also enjoyed the blueberry almond croissant, which is unlike any I've had before.
