This location is newly renovated I believe; the last time we were in the area in 2023 the street…read morewas ripped apart and the intersection was a mess. 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.

Just went there for Breakfast as I was in the area and it was litterally only one street away and…read moreTook Brie and Ham Crepes which was ok at best but definitely not my favorite and got an apple juice for drink . Waiter was very nice and sweet so getting points here for the service . In the crepes in my opinion wasn't enough cheese I mean I get it cheese's expensive especially speciality cheese like Brie but didn't felt it much also ham was ok but nothing to be crazy about . Little relaxing background music that was quite relaxing and not much people so feels good to peacefully eat your breakfast in a quiet place

Ok breakfast considering it's, well, breakfast. The service is courteous, friendly and fast. Prices…read moreare reasonable and you get a big variety of choices. I chose a full breakfast with three meats plus a pancake. I think they dropped the baking soda in the pancake batter because that was all I tasted. It left a very uncomfortable feel in my mouth. Beurk! I asked my eggs to be turned and on of them came out nearly fully cooked as in my yolk was nearly hard. Not runny! They also forgot to include the creton and baked beans on my husband's plate. We just reminded them and the waitress gladly got him the rest of his food with a big smile. Like I said, good service.

Just ok. Our experience:…read more- Positive: nice decor, good patio - Negatives: food took forever and the restaurant wasn't very busy. They also forgot to order a plate... So The others started to eat, we all gave the person who didn't get their plate some food from our plate, the missing plate actually only came after half the table finish their food. Normally in those circumstances the restaurant at least gives the plate for free, they didn't even do that.

Nice little place for a quick breakfast. Everything looks freshly made and deliciously presented.read more

I used to visit here every morning on my way to work to get decaf coffee ( I know, I know) and…read moresomething eat. Then they hired someone new to replace the person that handled the cash and mostly made the coffee. Since then, I just couldn't go anymore. Today, after almost 6 months I went back and it was worse than ever before. I asked for the decaf, he didn't ask me if I wanted milk or anything, and although I prefer milk, I'm ok with black cause I can just add the milk at work. He started making it, but then got distracted so another person took over. She asked me what kind of milk I wanted, and when I told her he didn't mention that, she said "it's ok, it comes with it". So I told her almond milk and thought that was actually nice. Until he saw her warming it up, he got incredibly upset with me, told her to stop with the milk and poured a ton of hot water in my cup. He then said to me that next time I want milk, I tell him so I can pay for it, making me seem like I was trying to pull one on him. I told him he was rude, grabbed my drink and after two sips threw it away because he put so much water that it tasted like hot water with splash of coffee, it was disgusting. I also found out that some of my colleagues had stopped going there once he was running the front, as they noticed he was taking their cash and placing it in the register, but not actually ringing it up. So be warned, the man in the front is incredibly rude, incompetent, and will ruin your first coffee of the day.

Zec Café opened up about 2 months ago right next to St-Henri Metro Station, an ideal spot which…read morepreviously lacked nearby options, unless of course one was to walk to the active and growing Notre-Dame Street, the heart of the neighborhood. A friend suggested the place to me and hinted it might be good, and so one morning, my husband and I decided to stop by to give it a shot. We were unimpressed. The espresso they serve is Café Napoléon, a Montréal roaster. The latte I ordered was very average, a bit too strong actually, and the croissant I got alongside it was unfortunately bland. My husband had a double espresso which he found acceptable, and a veggie sandwich he told me satisfied his hunger. I took a bite from it and did not particularly enjoy it; the bread and the marinated vegetables were very ordinary, especially for a $8 sandwich. I know plenty of places that sell better food and coffee for cheaper or equal prices, and find myself surprised that such a coffee shop would open and successfully sustain in St-Henri. I do hope the owners will find a better formula, else I'm tempted to predict a short life for Zec Café. I hope for them that I'm wrong.

The coffeeshop's decor gives the feeling that you are into the woods. The server was by herself and I was her only customer this morning. After I ordered a cappuccino, we chitchatted a bit about a postcard that I noticed on the shelf. It reminded my most memorable trip to Thailand. The server was very sweet; she asked me if I wanted cinnamon or chocolate over my cappuccino; it's really rare that someone asks me this. Even though I added sugar to my cappuccino; it was really bitter. Oh well, another coffeeshop off my checklist.

Oh mon Dieu. La nourriture était si bonne ici…read more Nous avons commandé : * Crêpe épinards et suisse - Servie avec montagne de fruits et café * Bénédictine Champignons et Brie - 2 oeufs pochés servis sur muffin anglais avec champignons et brie, le tout nappé de sauce Hollandaise, et servis avec montage de fruits frais, pommes de terre et café * L'Omelette du Marché - tomates, oignons, épinards, poivrons et champignons, servie avec pommes de terre, fruits de décoration, rôties, et café * La Soupe du Jour - Soupe aux Légumes * Le Crêpe Sucré - Crêpe avec bananes et chocolat J'ai vraiment aimé la crêpe à la banane et au chocolat pour le dessert. Honnêtement, la serveuse était si gentille et amicale avec nous que nous l'avons vraiment apprécié. J'ai aimé la quantité de fruits servis dans un bol et cela m'a fait tellement plaisir de remarquer la présentation de leurs différentes couleurs qui était si belle. De plus, la soupe du jour - la soupe aux légumes - était l'une de mes choses préférées en raison de la combinaison de saveurs, un peu sucrée et juste un peu salée et un peu piquante. Tout était tellement incroyable.

The menu is entirely in French. They take card. And the local vibe and hospitality was amazing. The coffee was unlimited refills . The fruit was all fresh, bright, precut, and generous. The portion is definitely value and caters to locals. We ordered a 2 crepes: savory (ham, cheese, and asparagus) and a sweet fruit and chocolate one. We also ordered an omelette, salmon bagel plate, and a cream French toast. The cream French toast is we able amazing texture with cream and the omelette comes with a wonderful fluffy whole wheat bread. Don't sleep on such a wonderful local gem.

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.

I've been here twice already after I was recommended to visit itby a local shop keeper. The choice of wines here is outstanding. For example, they have 4 orange wines to choose from. Can't say that about most restaurants I've been to. Plus, they have a table d'hôte with 3 services for only 17$! I also really enjoy the staff here. The one waitress I've been served by has been chill and really knowledgeable. I will definitely be back here on a Friday or Saturday evening when they host a live jazz band starting at 7PM.

This review is based on the 3 times I visited this place…read more First of all, it's a nice coffee/restaurant where you can enjoy a little meal, a coffee or a drink, or sit there studying with no problem. Unfortunately i've only been going there at night, so can't comment on the natural light, but it's a bit dark at night. Studying with computers is OK, but reading is quite tricky. Food is not too bad, i would give it a 4/5. It's a bit understaff I find, and we've been waiting for a long time for our checks, for the guy to pass by again to order an extra item. I would recommend it for a snack/meal with a drink, I saw that on Fridays they have someone who comes in and play music !! It's a relax ambience. It's 15$ for their table d'hôte (without desert) which is really not bad !! I enjoyed their chili (10$ on regular menu) and their table d'hôte that is different (menu du jour) everytime I went. My friend liked her salade chèvre chaud ! It did not get 4 because of the service.
