I found the menu to be a bit small, but I enjoyed the food that I had and it wasn't a bad price. I think the vibe they have as a restaurant is really unique as it seems like the building used to be a factory. Lots of barrels around and wooden poles, chairs, and tables giving the place an overall mildly rustic feel. Bonus points for plaid, reusable napkins that added to the charm.

The food looks better than it tasted…read more The schnitzel was huge and caught my eye but it was a tad dry and bland for my liking. The beet salad was refreshing and bright paired with the schnitzel. The honey garlic ribs was also dry, my jaws had a workout. We got the lemon glazed donut to go and that was nice and fluffy, not too sweet.

Perfectly decent traditional breakfast and brunch spot. It doesn't have the ridiculous breakfast…read moreitems trendier and more hipsterish joints offer lately like duck confit poutine or red velvet waffles with blood orange mousse, and really, you really don't need that stuff. What you'll get here are the classics, poached eggs, omelettes, bacon, sausage, eggs Benedict, bagels, home fries, pancakes, baked beans, waffles, fruit, toast. And the dozens of combinations those items can make. The most hipsterish ingredients and dishes I saw on the menu were items like portobello mushrooms and Meat Lovers poutine and Vegetarian Poutine. The Meat Lovers poutine is a mound of home fries potatoes with green onions, bacon, ham, scrambled eggs, melted mozzarella cheese, covered with hollandaise sauce, and a poached egg on top. Insane. What really bowled me over was the service. The waitresses I had were super nice, welcoming and really aim to please. Sometimes, it's just best to leave the classics alone and having places in the hood that are as basic, decent and classic as the dishes they serve. Really reasonable prices.

I also I only ever get the same two meals from this location so I haven't tried the a lot of the menu but it's alright.

What a special place this is!!! Located on the Lachine Canal (please correct me if that's…read moreincorrect) this popular local eatery has people lined up for Sunday breakfast. We didn't have to wait long to be seated near the back by an open (but screened-in) area, right by the "window" overlooking the canal. We ordered our coffee and put in order while watching streams of people come and go. There was such a huge selection of fabulous, mouth-watering items on the menu that ranged from crèpes to french toast and sandwiches that it was difficult to choose. I had Le Brise, comprised of french toast, loads of sweet, crispy and fresh fruit in season and custard sauce. Québec Maple syrup was brought to the table, just in case we didn't have enough sweetness. My friend had the scrambled eggs, toast, home fried potatoes & baked beans. The ambience was light and service was quick between servers setting up for a large party behind us and another party in front of us, and the two teenagers beside us who received a lot of attention from the younger server. Next time I'm in town, I will come back, especially since we got to take a walk along the canal over to the beach where some bathers were taking advantage of the glorious weather.

I had the scallops and risotto, my friend had the veal Marsala And my partner had mussels. Everything was delicious and to top it off the dessert included four delicious choices or cappuccino. They also have a standard menu with many choices. We sat on the patio overlooking the lake and since it was cool, they had the patio covered with heavy plastic and heaters. I highly recommend Crescendo.

The owner/chef Nick, took our orders and the food was magnificent. My wife had one of the fluffiest Pancakes. I had the Bagel and Lox. One of us also tried the Tuna Melt - delicious (which I believed was taken out of the current menu). Their coffee was also good and memorable because of the different types of mugs they used to serve with. Great comforting food, cozy little spot and truly a neighborhood treasure. If I lived here, I would be here every week. We also bought some sweaters and shirts. Oh! And don't forget to add Millmans Spotify playlist! We had a wonderful morning that day! We hope that we can visit there again.

Great new breakfast/brunch/snack bar diner in Verdun on Wellington. Just serves the classics unlike…read morethe trendier, hipster-run breakfast places which have annoyingly taken over Verdun. I just had the breakfast plate which came with 2 super thick slices of bacon (steakon) , 2 eggs any style, home fries and 2 slices of toasted thick sourdough bread. That in itself was filling. They really take their diner credentials seriously. They served my tea in a Fireking Jadeite cup and saucer straight out of the1950's. I know because ever since Martha Stewart started collecting the stuff, finding Fireking Jadeite pieces now is very difficult and prices have shot through the roof. The chrome fan, milkshake maker, chrome details around the bar, black and white photos of old Verdun and hanging plants also add to the retro vibe. Service was friendly and quick. They also give you a 15% discount if you go between 8-10am.

The toy included with the kid's meal was a sweet touch. All non-dairy milks were included in the price as well, love that. Everything was tasty and affordable. The service was impeccable. Bilingual, friendly, and patient. A real contrast to the cold shoulder we got at Cafe Nevé in the Plateau. My three year old had a great time playing with the toys downstairs. The play lounge is thoughtfully arranged so child-minders can sit, eat, and converse alongside their charges. I will say some of the seating could do with a good cleaning though. Even the other patrons were friendly; we had two positive interactions downstairs. If you're looking for a place that is welcoming to your kids instead of looking at them disdainfully, this is it!
