    Orange Grapefruit mimosa and coffee on the side.
    Shahanaz B.

    Revamped restaurant! The one in the village was always my favorite. This one is nice, they kept most of the menu, but the essence of being rustic and homey is gone. It's more fancy. The vibe is too chic. The service was good! The food, as always, beyond delicious with beautiful presentation.

    Seared foie gras

    The place is very popular and so be expected to have to wait for some time before being seated. I was lucky to get a reservation last minute ONLINE -- probably because somebody canceled his. This, I was seated right away. See pictures for recommendations. Especially recommend the bone marrow dish as it is not available at most places, hence, somewhat rare to find. Our waitress was very friendly and provided great service. One minor complaint which is probably a mismanagement or oversight by the restaurant itself is that we did not get our side order of French Toast despite ordering it the same time as the other dishes. This, we ended up canceling it. Besides that, nice dining environment and highly recommended. Again, definitely try the Bone Marrow dish!

    Wow brunch here was amazing. It was a little pricey but the portions were very good. I got to try the lamb grilled cheese and the bone marrow plate. The lamb grilled cheese was not what I was expecting when you say grilled cheese but I was happily surprised since it was a hearty sandwich with braised lamb. The soup of the day was rich and creamy and overall tasty. The bone marrow plate was also very generous. Ngl, there was a lot going on there but flavors were pretty good with the bread and bone marrow itself. The plantain chips were absolutely awful though- could not chew it since it was so tough and tasteless. Otherwise, everything including the drinks were great.

    2 Oeufs Pochés Foie Gras / 2 Foie Gras Poached Eggs

    Foie Gras for breakfast? Fancy! But, I am on vacation in French Canada, so why the heck not?! The foie gras itself is amazing! It is cooked to tender perfection and every single bite is exploding with flavor! I have no idea what kind of magic the kitchen is using but I am SO here for it! Where it comes to the accompaniments, these were a little hit or miss. Hit: * The onion jam added a wonderful sweetness to the overall dish. * The egg was of excellent quality (though to be fair, the egg white was a little too firm for my taste). * The prosciutto chips work great in adding crispness and salt. * Arugula Sprouts were a nice touch in adding some freshness. Miss: * The sheer amount of bread feels very excessive. I would estimate there are 6 slices worth here. * Turnips (or, rather 'the starch component') could have been more tender and could have used some seasoning * Sauce and poppy look pretty, but their flavors get lost somewhere along the way. Ordinarily, I would say CAD 41 is a little steep for breakfast, but high quality foie gras is a very expensive ingredient. Le Passé Composé does a terrific job allowing it to shine on its own. However, some of the accompaniments did not work for me. Yet, these are relatively minor, easily corrected notes. Besides, who the heck am I to tell the kitchen what they should be doing.

    I had one of the most indulgent breakfasts at Le Passé Composé in The Gay Village of Montreal. Eating brunch here means you must get the 2 Oeufs Pochés Foie Gras / 2 Foie Gras Poached Eggs. This dish comes with two thick slices of brioche bread, each topped with prosciutto, onion jam, poached goose eggs, foie gras, poppy seeds, and arugula sprouts. I have never seen or eaten anything like this dish for brunch. Delicious, rich, and so satisfying. I mentioned my breakfast to a local, and she agreed that Le Passé Composé is a well-known breakfast spot and that the foie gras with poached eggs is a local favorite. It's a one-of-a-kind treat in Montreal that was one of the culinary highlights of my trip.

    Food was delicious and beautifully presented. Nice to sit outside on a warm sunny day.

    LPC lives up to the hype. But on our visit the the bone marrow was disappointing - and unfortunately tasted like "oxidized fat", this wasnt enough of a problem to send the dish back, especially because everything else was excellent (and the service was absolutely next level).

    Our friends who got married in Montreal said we had had to eat here while we were visiting. Fearing the wrath of my intimidating friends, I said "of course" and immediately made a reservation. We took the metro over from our hotel and even though were were early, we were seated immediately at a table up front. We had a great view of the bar, restaurant as well as the world going by on the street. The only drawback that it was a bit warm in the restaurant and the table was picnic style which was less comfortable than chairs would be. Normally, we wouldn't have noticed but we'd been walking all over Montreal for the past couple of days so we were all a little stiff and sore! In any event, service was lovely and the food was almost a work of art. I had the Key Lime Pie Crumble. At $27 CAD, it's not cheap but honestly, I could have shared it and still been full when I left. According to the menu, it contains maple and lime yogurt, crumble, blue berries and blackberries, Italian meringue flambé, lemon and lime cream and pistachios. Additionally, you get a thin slice of baguette with vanilla and lime ricotta. And on top of that, it's served with a mango and lime smoothie that looks like it has poppy seeds in it. It was beautiful to look at and even more delicious to eat but it was so filling, I could only eat about half of it. The smoothie they served with it could have been a meal by itself as it was very thick and rich. The blueberries were the sweetest I've ever had. Sometimes fresh blueberries are a little tart and only once you bake them do they release their full sweetness but these were super fresh and super sweet. I also had a Quebec vanilla coffee which was amazing. All of the portions were fairly large and shareable. We knew some of the portions were too big so we cut them in half immediately and boxed them up to go. The prices seemed a little steep for brunch but the food was definitely amazing and the service was very friendly. I let my friends who recommended the place know that it was one of the highlights of our time in Montreal. Definitely make reservations...we were able to make them about a week in advance with no issues but we did see people come in without them and they didn't have any tables right away.

    Foie Gras Poached Eggs on thick cut toast

    Have you ever been to a great breakfast place on the most egg-benny-craving day with a group of 16 people waiting together for 45 minutes before the restaurant opens? If your answer is no, let me tell you, that's what I did and we all rushed in like a Black Friday morning at Bestbuy or a weekday morning commuting hour at the local train station. Anyway, we tried out Salmon Egg Benny and the most evil, most cholesterol enriched, thick-cut foie gras on poached eggs. Take a look with my photos, please. Those hot dripping hollandaise sauce with good amount of poppy seed just infused to the eggs with no regrets. Those thick cut bread ain't ordinary bread but brioche. Lightly toasted, so eggy, so thick cut. Comes with a hint of sweetness. Super carb-ieeee. Soak up all the foie gras essence and egg yoke in the middle of the plate like a mop. The finished plate was even cleaner than my car windshield after having a power wash. Time to take a double-dosed of Crestor + Lipitor. So good, so satisfying, so great of a breakfast. Finished off with a good pot of green tea to ramp down the sin of LDL cholesterol together with some great enjoyable moments with friends and families. Nice servers btw. I really like the way they tried to explain the menu to us with good effort, even though they do not speak very fluent English. Much appreciated! Recommended. Should check this out if you are looking for some good breakfast in Montreal.

    UNBELIEVABLE! This was simply the single best brunch of my life! I had high hopes but wasn't prepared for the delicious decadence of the food we were served. It's hard not to gush! We had reservations / otherwise there can be a bit of a wait, especially early Sunday afternoon. I had the signature Foie Gras on brioche with eggs and prosciutto and MAN WAS IT INCREDIBLE! They could cut the brioche serving in half and this would still be a hit - two large portions of foie gras that was seared outside and perfect delicious juiciness inside. Hubby had a Key Lime Pie Crumble - maple and lime yogurt with crumble and berries with a "meringue flambé" and a citrus cream and pistachios on top. It was served with a small wedge of baguette with a vanilla/lime ricotta. Finally there a mango-lime smoothie served on the side. Huge portion. Delicious! Definitely recommend a stop here!

    Delicious but a bit too rich for my taste

    They have the most creative Eggs Benedict selection I've ever seen. Although instead of English muffin they use brioche bread, making it super guilty & carb-y. That's part of the fun though! We came on a Monday brunch time and was able to get a spot without reservation. However I would highly recommend making a reservation - you can conveniently do it through Yelp. We ordered the foie gras poached egg and the maritime poached egg (seafood mix w/ clam chowder). The taste was so rich and delicious for both orders. However, it was a bit TOO rich. After a couple bite I didn't want to ever eat it again. It felt like one of those meals where you want to try at least once but afterwards wouldn't crave it on regular basis. The presentation was great. However I was misled by the Yelp photos to think the Benedicts came with side salad/fruits. I think you would have to order those separately as sides if you want it to come with your entree. I would definitely come back to try other items but would not order the same things again. It was a little pricy for brunch but they do give a big portion.

    We made sure to come to Le Passé Composé for our last morning in Montreal and it left such a lasting impression! What we got: Foie Gras Poached Eggs Rural Poached Eggs French Toast Wow! Just so yummy! Both poached egg dishes were rich and flavorful! Every little ingredient worked really well together. And the French toast?! Best French toast I've ever had even though it looks so simple. Just try this place for yourself and make that reservation-- you won't regret it!

    Dining at Bar George was one of the highlights of our quick 24-hour layover in Montreal. We stayed…read moreat Le Mount Stephen Hotel without doing much research on dining options, assuming we'd just find something nearby. But before even checking in, we had to walk through Bar George ~ and instantly knew we wanted to eat there. We were lucky enough to grab a last-minute reservation, and Julien took a good care of us throughout the evening. His recommendation of the Beef Wellington was spot on (it's already one of our favorite dishes), but this was hands down the best we've ever had. I ordered the lobster risotto, which was excellent with just the right amount of spice. My son had the 10 oz striploin steak with homemade fries (chips), and it was absolutely delicious. I also loved the Canadian touch of coarse salt on the steak, plus the option to choose between Béarnaise or peppercorn sauce. Julien also mentioned their pastry chef placed second in a NY competition, and the desserts absolutely lived up to that reputation. We tried the pineapple and coconut pavlova and the "lick me hazelnut" ~ both beautifully presented and incredibly delicious. We also ordered iced coffee and a latte, and noticed something interesting: this was the second place where we found Canadian coffee to be smooth and mild ~ such a nice change from the often bitter, over-roasted American coffee. Yes, dinner was a bit steep ($300+), but it was worth every penny. Between the rich history, stunning design, outstanding service, and unique cuisine, I would highly recommend Bar George. I would absolutely love to come back!!

    Bar George is a stunning contemporary British restaurant located in Montreal's historic Le Mount…read moreStephen. While the restaurant is highly celebrated and located within a Michelin-recognized hotel building, it does not hold a Michelin star of its own. But it is extremely classy. We decided to do lunch instead of dinner and it was a little more our speed, but if very, very attentive waitstaff is not your thing and $200 for lunch I'd skip this spot. We went because it had reviews for amazing beef Wellington and my husband hadn't had any in decades. And we were on vacation so let's go! The food was beautifully plated and service was impeccable inside of an amazingly decorated dining room that looked like a library in a mansion. The meals themselves weren't obscenely expensive but add a glass a wine, bread (it was not included) and coffee and it put us close to $200. But it was a great experience and I had never had beef Wellington - it was melt in your mouth good. Might go again next time we come up from CT.

    GET THE CUBANO…read more Amazing food and great staff. If you go at lunchtime, expect a wait but it is quick and they'll get you in! This is a must stop!

    For a self-proclaimed foodie destination, this place just got crossed off this foodie's list…read more Admittedly we showed up after the lunch rush, but the place had been absolutely ransacked. The server seated us without warning, and when we went to order, each item we requested had run out. No Cuban, no chicken melt, no several other delicious sounding things. She gave us 10 more minutes to look over the menu and come up with a plan B. Truthfully I wanted to jump ship, but couldn't because our drink orders were already in, and I was captain of this gastronomic journey. We'd set sail without proper forecasting! We settled on the baked egg and salmon bowl, neither what we were exactly craving. The baked egg was fairly tasty, a shakshouka-esque experience accompanied by rustic bread for hasty dipping. The salmon bowl was excellent, with delicious dressing, but the salmon portion was oh-so-meager. It made me wonder if the lunch rush had given the kitchen such a beating that they had split my salmon filet in half and served it to me and my neighboring table friend. Check out my photo and tell me if that portion seems right? The lore says Michael Jordan worked his rear off every game because he always told himself there was probably at least one kid in the stands who came there to see THE Michael Jordan. Well this kid in the stands caught Olive et Gourmando taking the night off. There is a risk for peril if you choose this restaurant, especially if you are in Montréal for a limited time!
