After two big snowstorms in one week here in Montreal, I decided to brave the snowy roads and make…read moremy way to Fanfare Brunch Boulangerie for a much-needed brunch with a friend and some quiet time to get work done. I'm so glad I did--this place turned out to be the perfect cozy refuge from the cold, offering a welcoming atmosphere and delicious comfort food that hit the spot. Video Review will be posted on Tik Tok and Instagram soon @Foxyappetite In depth review: Atmosphere: Fanfare is exactly what you need on a snowy day. The atmosphere is warm, inviting, and full of friendly energy. It felt like stepping into a cozy retreat, where the chill from outside melts away as soon as you walk in. The music was upbeat yet soothing, creating an ideal background for a laid-back brunch. It was the perfect place to unwind, enjoy a good meal, and escape the wintery weather. Coffee: I kicked things off with a cappuccino, which was the perfect antidote to the snowy roads. The coffee was flawlessly brewed--smooth espresso with just the right amount of froth, providing the perfect boost to start the day. It set the tone for the meal ahead and got me feeling energized. CLASSIQUE DÉJEUNER (18.50): For my main dish, I went with the "Classique Déjeuner," and it truly delivered. The Toulouse sausage was rich and flavorful, seasoned to perfection. The bacon was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside--just how I like it. The sunny-side-up eggs were cooked perfectly, with yolks that were perfectly runny and ideal for dipping into. The roasted potatoes were light and crisp, and the mini salad added a nice, fresh contrast to balance out the richness of the other elements. The homemade bread was fresh and soft, a simple but essential touch. This was classic breakfast comfort food at its finest--hearty, satisfying, and exactly what you need to start the day. PUDDING SALÉ (22.00): In the mood for something a little different, I also decided to try the "Pudding Salé." This savory herb pudding roasted in butter was a unique and flavorful dish. The smoked meat was tender and juicy, and the eggs provided a nice creamy texture. The homemade crème fraîche added a rich element, while the house-pickled vegetables offered a bright, tangy contrast that balanced the richness of the dish beautifully. It was an inventive twist on brunch fare that I thoroughly enjoyed. Overall: I was able to settle into a sunny corner and get some work done while enjoying my meal, which made the whole experience both productive and relaxing. The service was attentive and friendly, and the atmosphere was just right for catching up with a friend, taking a break, or getting some work done. This brunch was exactly what I needed after the snowy weather--great food, a warm and cozy space, and a chill vibe. I can't wait to come back and explore more of their menu. If you're in Montreal, especially after a snowstorm, Fanfare Brunch Boulangerie is a must-visit!

Let me enjoy my cappuccino before I ran out and got more cash to get more drinks :)) I love people who are understanding! My cappuccino was delicious!! It's been a while since I've had a good cup of coffee. Delicious here. Thank you!! I'll be coming again next time I'm in the area. --- Update!! So it's been...only a few hours since my first review...hahaha. I just had to update and write about my second drink. Of course after my cappuccino I had to get another coffee sooo I got a cortado. First off this is my favourite kind of drink. Second this is the best cortado I've had in a looooong time. Wish I had gotten the baristas name so he could get some credit! I'll just call him...guy with the cute circle glasses. Anyways, the point I'm trying to get across is that the coffee here so good. If I could, I would go back for another cortado. Yum yum.

I don't care if it's at an upscale restaurant or someone's garage. Great food still remains great food. The thing that comes with a ridiculous hefty price is that it comes with a lot of expectations and I'm confident enough to say that some of you may have experienced a hefty bill while leaving with disappointment. We've all been there, and I can certainly relate. The amazing story about L'Entre-Pots is that @mtlpancakequeen was looking to build her database for pancakes and aiming to find the best ones in the city. Opened since 2011, Alexandre Beaudry and his team not only excel in customer service (which we all know, something that I profoundly value) but also care about the sense of family amongst the staff members. L'Entre-Pots offers catering services, breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner- I mean pretty much whenever you're hungry. While the weather still allows it, they also have an extended terrace for those who want to enjoy their meal in the sun with a mimosa. While I also have been a guest during their popup and collaboration project, I can only consistently vouch for their brunch menu for at least the handful of time I've been there. Thank you to @mtlpancakequeen for introducing me this place- It had allowed me to showcase L'Entre-Pots talent to other followers and friends while hopefully creating more traffic to local businesses. While there is a ridiculous high demand for avocados for all you avocado basic bitches, I'm sure many of you have noticed the skyrocketing prices of these bad boys. I mean, if you do the groceries. But the price doesn't stop me from ordering the avocado toast at L'Entre-Pots. Served with salmon gravlax, feta cheese, dill yoghurt, and topped with a poached egg? This bad boy right here might be one of my many favourites on their menu.With their weekly specials, L'Entre-Pots is guaranteed to leave you full with their generous portions and excellent customer service. With the power of social media, which gems have you discovered?

All of their…read morepoached eggs dishes are great, and sometimes they have specials like blueberry pancakes with creme fraiche. I highly recommend the Bene Ole which is a breakfast poutine: poached egg, eggs benedict sauce, potatoes, pickles, bacon. It's huge and VERY tasty. I could eat it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. They also have smoothies, your usual espresso selection like lattes, mimosas, and more. I highly recommend coming before noon. Around that time the place begins to become packed and it's a small spot. Seating is kind of smushed. I've seen groups of 6 before, 7 or more may be pushing it. They do take reservations I believe so maybe they'll accommodate you. Tip: ask for the orange hot sauce, they make their own and it's great on everything.

Seating inside is a bit limited, but there's a nice patio area outside that makes up for it. There's usually a line, but it moves quickly and is well worth the wait.

Almost every nook and corner was instagrammable and gave off vintage vibes. We ordered the croissant, ginseng latte and a Cortado. The croissant was good but it would have helped if they had warmed it up for us. The Cortado was nice and strong and gave the kick to survive the rest of the evening. The ginseng latte was out of this world. It kind of tasted like a birthday cake in a cup with just the right amount of sweetness. The service was a bit chaotic though since there was a bit of the rush, but regardless, we had a great experience and loved the aesthetics of this cafe. 10/10 recommend.

I don't recall even noticing this place on that trip. This time around, the construction has passed, and the place is easily accessible. It is a nice breakfast spot, with a variety of seating options. Wait staff were attentive and prompt. Overall good service, not too overbearing. The menu is divided into sections based on diets, such as keto, vegan, etc. I found the l'oncle Keto, meaning uncle keto. It's a variation on eggs Benedict, with lots of meat, and the muffin replaced by slices of tomato and avocado, and it has some brie and Emmental cheese, bacon, and mushrooms. The concept actually works pretty well, and it was a tasty breakfast to start the day. The coffee is good also.

This is a timeless place…read more Pros: 1. The food is always fresh and not just what's on your plate. The menu is always innovative and there's something new. And always excellent. 2. Suffice it to say they're known for their eggs Benedict. Sure there's other stuff on the menu but I've never bothered with anything else. The Benedictine Forestier is my go to (this is unfortunately not available during Covid as this is part of their dine in menu - but hey this is one more thing to look forward to when this is all over) 3. Portions are generous. Thank you! I've never left this place feeling hungry. Cons: 1. Not really a con, but since I started this list I might as well add that sometimes, the wait is too long for dine in. There's only so many places inside. I suppose this is a good thing but can get a bit much when it's -30 out there.
