Definitely would try this cafe if you haven't been yet.

I layer…read morelearned thay was because they assume you want to sit int garden area and just wait to talk to you until a spot opens up but im use to waiters at least letting you know the wait time or checking if you want to sit inside. 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.

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.

I got the brie cheese, bacon, and sun dried tomatoes omelette with pumpernickel toast, and my friend got the egg Benedict with a side of bacon. We also both got mimosas. The portions were great and the service was wonderful - both our host and primary server were very kind and sweet. It was so sweet, we were sitting outside and one of the servers saw we had stood up because there was a bee next to our food and we were trying to get it away. The server tried to shoo the bee away, and it finally left. He offered us another round of mimosas because of the worries. It was such a kind gesture. I won't say it's the cheapest breakfast/brunch option, but the service, food, and ambiance was 10/10. Would definitely come back!

My folks come here for breakfast every Sunday morning, right when the place opens at 9am. So when I…read morerecently visited them, of course we had to continue the tradition! This restaurant has been around for 102 years, so they gotta be doing something right, right? The interior isn't huge but there are booths against the walls (booths for 4 diners against one wall, and booths for 2 against the other), with freestanding tables in the middle interior, and coatracks in the middle and back (more like a closet in the middle). The walls are covered with record album covers and photos. In the front of the restaurant is a long counter, with cloches and serving dishes full of huge muffins and cookies (they all looked bloody amazing!). All in all, it's a very warm and casual interior, and it feels like an old pair of favorite slippers. Comfortable and unassuming. We sat at a booth where my folks always sit, and although their usual server wasn't working that day, we had Devon (and she was wonderful). We had a variety of meals: mom had blueberry pancakes (lots of blueberries! She loved it), and my kid and my dad and I had a variety of eggs with bacon and toast and potatoes. It all was excellent. The bacon was crispy and they sure weren't stingy with portions (nice!), and the potatoes were great, too. I didn't have the coffee but the rest of my family did, multiple refills, in fact, and they all said it was excellent. Did I mention that the portions were very generous? I could not even eat my toast, even after giving some of my bacon to my kid. Two eggs, potatoes, toast and bacon cost $11. I think that's very reasonable. (I live in Vancouver now and that'd be considered a steal in Van). FYI: there is a parking lot directly across the street from Nick's and parking is free there on Sundays (probably on the street, on Greene, too), and free after 6pm as well. Nice!

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?
