Then, I saw other members of the group walking in and then walking out too because they couldn't find our group. Finally, some members of our group came out to call us in. I ordered the Vegan Brunch which consisted of vegan chili, flavoured with kaffir lime, potatoes, buckwheat pancake and salad. It was nice of them to have a vegan option on their menu.

The Short Version: Cafe located on the ground floor of an…read moreoffice building. Popular with office workers. Food is delicious and prices are affordable. The Long Version: When I travel, I like to eat where the locals eat. I love those places that cater to the office workers and are only open Mondays through Fridays and are closed in the evenings. The catch is since I no longer live in Montreal, when I'm in Montreal, it's usually on the weekends. However, recently my husband and I were in Montreal on a Monday and Tuesday and we had lunch at Cafe du Parquet. The restaurant is in the CDP Capital Centre (it has since been renamed the Jacques-Parizeau Building, but people who lived somewhere and then left will understand how I forever call things the name they were when I was living there (#SkydomeForever, but that's another story for another time, lol)). Their menu changes daily and apparently on Fridays they have Filet Mignon for under $25. We arrived at 11am and their lunch options weren't quite ready yet, so we walked around Old Montreal a bit and returned at 11:30am. By the time we left a little after noon there was a huge lineup. I got the Salmon ($15.50) and my husband got the General Tao Chicken ($14.50). So the way it works is you order your hot dish from the staff serving it. You tell them whether it's to eat in (will be served on a ceramic plate) or to-go (will be served in a takeout box). For each hot dish, you get 2 sides from the hot table and these you serve yourself. If you're eating in you pay at the cashier at the back (the area that leads to the dine-in seating). If you're taking out, you pay at the cashier at the front, near the entrance/exit to the cafe. If you're eating in, after you're done you put your own tray away in the designated slots in the wall. For my sides, I got Brussels sprouts and vegetables (bell peppers, zucchini, carrots, cauliflower and broccoli). My husband got rice and vegetables. I love that they have free self-serve water. They even have branded glasses. My salmon was delicious. It was perfectly cooked and was a generous portion. The side were also tasty, although a bit heavy on the oil. My husband enjoyed his meal. I tasted some of his General Tao Chicken and while it had zero spiciness, it had a sweet and tangy flavour and was crispy on the outside. The batter wasn't too excessive and the meat was not gristley. I would get this dish for myself. The rice was unremarkable. Service was a bit surly, lol. But food was delicious and prices reasonable, so that's ok. Maybe they were having a bad day. I would love to return to try other items, particularly their Filet Mignon on Fridays.

There's is 2 side at this cafe. There is the cafe with fixed offering, a bit like a convenience store that also sell pizza and such. But there's the lunch and dining area that open at 11h30. This have a different offering each days of the week. I always goes on the Friday, which is filet mignon days! But there's also parmigiana chicken, salmon and another one I forgot. You can take it with full fries, fries and 1 choice or 2 choices from the salade bar behind and soup. The salad bar is 2 table with many different offering like pasta salad, Cesar salad, chickpeas, etc. It costed me 21$ including taxes for the filet mignon, fries, salad and a beer (there's a glass of beer/wine included!). And it's very good. So come early, at 11h45, the line is already getting long and by 12h00, you wait at least 20 minutes in line. It's not because they don't go fast enough but since all steak are cooked on ordering like you want it from blue to well done, it take a minute to cook.

We were heading out to Saint-Sauveur for the day from Montreal, and stopped in Rosemère for a bit…read moreof breakfast. OMG! This is possibly the best fruit plate I have had outside of the Caribbean. FOOD I was torn between French Toast and the poached eggs with fruit, called Le Quartz. I settled on this "healthier" option because I didn't want to be weighed down for the day. It was the best decision! This fruit plate was epic! It had (and I'll definitely miss some stuff): fresh fig, field berries, an apricot, half a plum, apples, pears, pomegranate, dragon fruit, prickly pear, kiwi, melons, pineapple, clementine, grapes, mango, and I'm sure other fruit that I've missed. It's served with two poached eggs, cottage cheese and a toasted English muffin. Yum! It was so good, but almost too much food for one person. I ended up sharing some of the fruit with my BF, who didn't get any with his crepe. SERVICE Our server started out a little rocky, but quickly redeemed themself. They seemed a little miffed that I didn't know they would serve my latte with a KitKat stick and chocolate powder on it. I'm allergic to cocoa, so I had to send it back. I was sorry, but also, who does that without asking? They seemed to think I should have expected that. However, once we got over that little hurdle, they seemed to recognize that I wasn't being unreasonable and became rather pleasant and quite personable. I suspect the initial reaction was just a momentary lapse. Customer service can be exhausting, and I don't think they intended to be rude. AMBIANCE It's a typical brunch place in terms of decor and ambiance. It's a little noisy, but not rowdy. It's a little bland, but not industrial. It's not fancy, but better than a truck stop. The food more than made up for the ordinariness of the space.

3.5 stars. The place…read moreis clean and the food is decent. But I consistently get annoyed by the staff. I often go there in the morning with a colleague for a quick cup if the traffic spared us a couple of minutes. But it's like if the concept that someone might have only 15-20 minutes for coffee was a novelty to them. Shortly after we get coffee, we know we must start harassing the staff to get the check and wait again to get the machine. The coffee is good, but boy, the service is lacking. I didn't do a review of this place just because, basing it only on a coffee before work isn't fair. Our plates were ok. Ok size, ok food. My friend got a big onion skin in his potato. The ham was definitely from a real ham and not some pressed cheap meat. But there wasn't much. The potatoes were slightly undercooked. I think what rubbed me the wrong way was that we waited in line (without any line) and got told we missed the early bird special by 2 or 3 minutes. We obviously arrived last minute for it. But, I would have expected to at least get some polite explanations or something. Not a "can't do, the computer says so". Maybe the weekend staff goes smoother.
