We ordered an espresso, the tiramisu and a strawberry tart. Unfortunately all dishes reeked of a horrible egg smell. It was beyond disgusting that we paid and left without finishing our desserts.

All the seats were taken so i ordered to go, that's a great sign that the Sunday brunch there is a hit! I'm looking forward to trying it out myself. One downside is that they don't have many pastries like danishes, croissants, etc. And that would really make this place a part of my regular errands as I live in the neighbourhood. The latte was supreme and reminded me that starbucks really isn't worth the money. And the quiche was out of this world! Along with the good service, I had a very positive first experience at La Palette Gourmand, and I would suggest that if you find yourself on Sherbrooke and Mackay, stop in and check it out :)

I found myself at Le 9E for an impromptu breakfast. I was staying in Downtown Montreal, and since I…read morehad made plans to visit the Museum of Fine Arts later that day, I wanted to grab something to eat within walking distance. After comparing a few places, I ultimately landed on this spot - I was able to make a last-minute reservation so we headed over to check it out. Le 9E is somewhat hard to find if you don't know it exists. It sits on the 9th floor of a building in the Downtown area, with little to no signage indicating where it is. Once we got off the elevator, though, we were greeted with aesthetics. The space is large and open, with high ceilings, large windows, and a bar in the center of the room that serves as a focal point. I was a fan of the art deco decor, and the soft music playing in the background tied it all together. The breakfast menu had a good variety of items without being overwhelming. It definitely leaned more towards classic dishes with nothing too out of the ordinary. They started us with some complimentary canary melon which was sweet and juicy mmm. For my actual breakfast, I went with the pancake and a side of sausage (because protein). The pancake was much grander than I expected; it was a single cake that was topped with butter, fruit compote, powdered sugar, and maple syrup. This really exceeded my expectations - the cake was huge and super thick with the perfect amount of components; it was definitely a more cakey pancake if that makes sense. The sausage was good as well, it was stuffed with cheese which complemented the sausage meat well. Service was great, our waiter was attentive but not all over us which I appreciated. Overall, I thought Le 9E was a good find; I'm not running back though, as I would like to try other breakfast spots in the city first, but regardless you'll get a solid meal here with great aesthetics.

We visited at lunch. Three of us shared an amazing butter lettuce salad with finely shredded mimolette cheese that was divine. I ordered the French omelette, which was divine. It was tender and soft and perfectly cooked. The house made seedy challah bread (brushed with melted butter) was carbs at its best. Highly recommended.

The front area is a bakery with beautiful dessert displays. I wish I had a room for dessert. We came for the Quiche Lorraine, and the portion was huge -- probably enough for 3 people, I would say. It had a lot of meat, with some kind of special ham/bacon, and the flavor was delicious. If you like meat, this is the dish for you. I definitely recommend it! Personally, I would have liked a little more egg custard in the quiche. The Eggs Benedict was delicious as well. The drinks were great and the service was top-notch. Highly recommend!.

We got the pear dessert, lemon meringue, and Ferrero chocolate cake, and together the three desserts came to around $45. Honestly, I didn't want to like them as much as I did because of the price, but they were all so good that we immediately wanted more. The pear dessert was light and delicate, while the outer white chocolate layer added a really nice crunch. I was super happy to see them because they were viral on TikTok lol. The Ferrero chocolate cake was super creamy and rich, and even the base had that delicious Ferrero flavor throughout. The lemon meringue was also light and refreshing, while the bottom crust still had a nice firmness to it in a good way. Every dessert was super flavorful and tasted amazing. The staff greeted us right away when we came in for takeout, and everyone was very friendly. They also helped pack our desserts, although I personally would have preferred if each dessert was packaged separately. The shop itself is really cute too. They have an adorable heart and rose sign outside, and all the desserts are displayed at the front. They also sell croissants and other little pastries/snacks as well.

Amazing Amazing Amazing!…read more I would definitely recommend to walk here after the biodome and have dinner or lunch. The main thing that stood out to us was the Bring Your Own Wine.

With the plants, the string lights, and the colorful tables, the vibe is just right. I enjoyed having dinner in the pleasant summer breeze. The staff is super kind. I love our server. We were hungry, but not starving. This is where Le Réservoir shines - because the food is yummy, and the plates are great for sharing. We opted for the fried buffalo chicken and a burrata salad. Both were show stoppers: the chicken was crunchy and crispy without tasting dry or over seasoned, and the burrata was creamy, served with toasted bread that meshed well with the green goddess dressing and fresh veggies. The reason we came to Le Réservoir was for the beer, and it did not disappoint. I had the best beer of our visit at Le Réservoir - a pineapple sour. It was honestly one of the top five best beers I've ever had. I'll remember this one for a while! I love everything about our dinner at Le Réservoir.

The service was the bad part. They skipped over a lot of people and were kinda rude. They told a few people that "just so you know so you aren't like your friend, tipping isn't included"... They were being rude because they didn't tip when it's always optional. The people who didn't tip weren't really served and didn't eat... I don't know, not an ideal situation for the group mixed with the service. The lady that serviced us was super nice but the two men who helped with the party were not.

The restaurant itself is absolutely stunning. The space is elegant, warm, and romantic, with a beautiful atmosphere that makes you want to linger. It wasn't too busy (likely because it was Sunday), but that only made it feel more intimate. For appetizers, my friends ordered the French onion soup and escargot. The soup was flavorful and served piping hot--it stayed that way for over 20 minutes! The escargot isn't usually my thing, but my friends raved about how buttery and delicious it was. For mains, I had the spaghetti aux fruits de mer. It looked incredible when it arrived, and the flavors matched the presentation--fresh, savory, and satisfying. My friends went with the suprême de volaille and the bavette grillée & frites. Judging by their clean plates, they clearly enjoyed every bite. We ended the night by splitting multiple desserts, which was the perfect finish to a memorable meal. Overall, Henri Brasserie exceeded expectations. Between the beautiful setting, attentive service, and dishes that truly delivered, I'd highly recommend it for anyone looking for a romantic dinner or a special night out in Montreal.

Their continental breakfast was so good we didn't bother ordering anything off the regular menu. Each breakfast came with a pastry of choice, and I got the (very large but delicious) croissant. There was also a yogurt parfait with berries and granola that was a perfect compliment to the carbs of my croissant. I didn't really get my coffee refilled so I'm not sure if that's all you get, but it was still a lovely coffee and I enjoyed dining here. They also have a really lovely outdoor patio that we finally got a moment to visit. I would have come for the patio alone, it was so lovely and everything I needed on a warm summer afternoon. Sometimes it took awhile for our server to come out and check on us, but we had the time so it didn't really matter. He was super nice and knowledgeable about the menu.

A delightful breakfast on a weekday morning!…read more We were lucky enough that Renoir opened as early as 7 AM and so seeing the glowing reviews, we had to stop by. The first thing I noticed right off the bat was the beautiful layout of the restaurant. They had plenty of seating, and I love that there was a variety from booth to traditional tables to couches! This restaurant was truly elegant. For someone who always gets overwhelmed with choices, I really appreciated that their breakfast menu was straight to the point, and while there were still many offerings, it was succinct. Our table started off with some juices and coffee - I decided on the grapefruit juice, but I really wish I had tried the orange juice because it was definitely freshly squeeze and I was told that it was so sweet and delicious! The grapefruit juice was good too, but I forgotten how bitter grapefruit can be :,) for my entrée I got the eggs Benedict with a side of potatoes, and this was cooked to perfection. The eggs Benedict still had that runny yolk with a savory hollandaise sauce while the potatoes were one of best breakfast potatoes I've ever had. The flavor was Herby and potato was firm enough to still have that crispy exterior but soft enough that I could break the potato in half with my fork. Another thing I have to brave about this restaurant was the service. Our waiter was so kind and funny and he was always coming back to attend to us and make sure that we had everything we needed. Really love this place and hopefully I can come back again for breakfast in Montreal!
