It is very loud with everyone talking, so much that I have a hard time understanding the person talking next to me. The service is ok. As for the food. I didn't find the usual plate I take at other breakfast place which is 2 eggs, all meat (bacon, sausages, beans and ham) with either pancake or French toast. So I took the Petinos which is 2 eggs, ham, bacon, sausage, porc roast, potato and fruits (which include pickle) and toast. Egg are small, smaller than im used too. It was good, but I feel 22$ for that was too much. Other took what they call a mont blanc which is a waffle with toppings, 2 eggs and choice of 1 meat. They did like it. It's a good place if the menu have what you desire. Just a bit pricier side for a breakfast. Any substitution or change come at a cost.

I ordered the fried chicken and waffles and my husband ordered the fried chicken poutine and both were absolutely delicious and super filling.

The restaurant itself is broken into 3 areas (a walk up counter, a casual area, and the more formal dining room). It was warm when we went and we were burning up by the time we left, but the drinks were quite good and so was our server. The hubby and I shared a couple of pastries with the savory scone and kouign amann being our favorites. Their dishes look very good, on the smaller side, and meant to be shared.

I found the cuisine to be vibrant and healthful, with bright and energizing flavors that were well executed overall. The staff are knowledgable about the menu and dish conception, and generally pleasant and friendly to converse with. (Jacqual: B) - Simply presented drink that features hibiscus and citrus with zero proof beer, which I found fascinating. The beer notes are in the background prevailed by the sourness of the other components, where I wish there was a little more added sweetness. (Fried Maitake: A) - Perfectly seasoned dish with tender and high surface area mushrooms coated in an impressly crisp batter given the moisture usually found in mushrooms. The seasoning could not be better with the salt and spice combo; the chive and parsley mayo also add an herbaceous depth of flavor. (Heirloom Tomatoes: A) - Pefectly plated tomatoes with a surprising sunflower seed forward profile given the subtleness of the ingredient; the dish is well balanced and brings out the harmonious flavors of the garden, although I think the bites with flake salt had that even more perfect note. (Hanger Steak: A+) - Beautifully perfected cut of beef with Asian inspiration; the steak is juicily pink with a charred exterior; the carrot ginger puree has a lovely mild and lingering spice, with some additional spice coming from the shishito and the pickled jalapeno. Beautiful dish. (Peach Sorbet: C) - Flavorally pleasant dessert with peach three ways and a nut crumble to add crunch; the sorbet was very hard though and could have benefitted from spirits in the churning process.

This place deserves a review and it deserves positive recognition. They are versatile in their offerings, and healthy but not overdoing it. The decor looks grunge and vintage and opulent, but those salads come out looking top class. The wait staff are empathic and attentive to a variety of needs. Nobody seems mad about working there. I would assume many were customers first and then realized that this would be a chill place to eat. With my progeny, I almost made the mistake of eating in the Old Port. I mean, maybe chocolate crepes for dinner would have been more consumed than the healthier cheese and chicken alternatives at Chez Jose, but the relaxing vibe, and wholesomeness of it all, made me so relieved that I didn't settle for a tourist trap. The bread, with butter, is really yummy. It's white bread basically but it's so good. And the orange soup was outstanding.

The space inside is tight and by the time we left, there was a significant queue, so keep that in mind. The food was extremely filling but not too heavy at all.
