What a special place this is!!! Located on the Lachine Canal (please correct me if that's incorrect) 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. read more
