Had a wonderful meal here. Linguini Alfredo with Chicken and Bacon. Served with a glass of house red wine I couldn't have been more pleased and all for $26ca. read more

While this is still Fresh Juice in my mind, let's get this one down. I've been here maybe 3 or 4 times over the years and each visit just leaves something to be desired. (Why it seems I only have 1 actual check-in for it is beyond my understanding, mayhaps it has been so long since my previous visits that I was still a newbie Yelper and thought check-ins were lame*...) My rating is actually 3.5 stars rounded up for just really super sweet service. *Check ins are not lame FYI ... I realized u could win badges, dukedoms and baronies and yes, even kingdoms when u do check in to places. Some places even offer a special Yelper treat (like 10% off or a free shot or 2 for 1 - if they actually honour it is a whole 'nother can of worms) when u check in. Plus it's kool to show a place u r it's regular ;) It's a kyoot lil bistro type set up with terrasse in the summer, a bit cramped-feeling, however nothing overwhelmingly claustrophobic. Slightly too many tables for the space but necessary due to popularity. What I really dig about this place is the local art work on display, gorgeous photographs framed and hanging from the walls may make you want to hover over stranger's tables to get a good look. There are 2 bathrooms which seem to serve the space appropriately, but make sure you knock! For some reason patrons here enjoy using the facilities with the door unlocked which caused a couple of embarassing moments for my friend when both bathrooms were occupied, yet not locked. Because it has been so long since my previous visits let's stick to yesterday's, which is more or less representative of a typical visit. We were greeted ever so sweetly and they let us choose a nice table near the window for 2. We checked the specials board: a must-do when you come here, nothing interested me, but my friend ordered the Frittata Special. I chose the Hummus entrée with veggies and pita because my appetite has been fairly absent these days. Our waiter was quite generous and offered me to have the coffee included in my friend's frittata special (because she only wanted the OJ included). The coffee was never refilled, but I couldn't complain really 'cuz I didn't hafta pay for it in the first place. My hummus entrée was quite generous in portion actually, thankfully because at 9$ it damn well better be. There were lotsa veggies on the plate too which I highly appreciated. The pita was ok nothing special, there was plenty of it, but I ended up eating more veggies than pita. The hummus, homemade if I understood correctly, is absolutely delicious, different from most hummus yet still very much enjoyable. The cucumber and peppers seemed a bit on the precut-or-about-to-go-bad variety imo, my friend said they were fine, but they were slightly too slimey to be fresh cut and/or fresh produce, I felt. Also they chopped these huge wedges of carrot which I didn't touch because they were way too thick to be tempting. Carrot sticks or baby carrots would be a better option. I remove a 1/2 star for this aspect of questionable freshness and oddly chosen cut of carrot. The rest of the menu didn't really interest me in the sense that I wouldn't willingly pay those prices for those menu items. There were very limited options under 10$ and all in the entrée section (so if you're not too hungry don't come here 'cuz there's not many affordable munchie type items). Lotsa sweet brunch options (pancakes crepes etc), not much in terms of bacon and eggs type stuff, if that's what you're looking for this isn't the place. So pricing and choices is where I remove a whole star. This is a place I don't mind going every once in awhile because service is great and the food tastes good, but the questionable freshness with those prices makes it so I don't want to come often and can't understand why people make this a regular choice when there are better, cheaper choices very nearby. I must add that I don't have much of a sweet tooth (and especially not for breakfast) so this brunch option may be more tantalizing for those who do. read more

Very simple place but the food is tasty. So don't go there and bring a fancy date for example... ;) Went for lunch. The veggies soup was amazing, the crepe was good too, the special was prosciutto, brie, apple and walnuts. Got a chocolat pie as desert. Not very noise, good to hear what the other person is telling you. Service also was fast, what makes it even better. read more

A really great place. Friendly service that welcomes you like family and delicious food. In summer I suggest that you try one of their salads with a home made lemonade on the terrasse. Bill and Linda read more

Probably the best Maple French Toast in Montreal. I've been here twice now for brunch and have tried the aforementioned French Toast as well as crepes filled with Ricotta cheese and both of them were stellar. Thick, fluffly pieces of bread, drenched in the egg mix and perfectly cooked, with maple syrup and pecans and swirls of whipped cream, this french toast is seriously rich and filling. You won't need to eat for the rest of the day. The ricotta filled crepes were equally rich and filling. Both dishes came with mounds of fruit and free coffee or tea. Service is very friendly. I have not had dinner here yet but did eye the desserts counter, and from what I understand, everything is made on the premises and looked just as good. A bit out of the way, but you can always walk over to the riverside a few blocks away and walk off the meal. read more

Cozy cafe serving brunch on weekends, along with baked goods and various eats that are great for lunch. There's something for everyone and they even made a vegan brunch plate for me that wasn't on the menu! The house made jam was slightly tart, the hummus amazing and the breakfast potatoes gave me life! read more

Still one of the best bowls of "café au lait" out there. Extremely consistent. From the service to the quality, almost to the point of clockwork, which in the restaurant space is pretty rare - and remember this is not fast food. Good on them. Other café, resto, bistros should look up to them. I'm not saying that they are perfect, and everything is 100%, but they deserve the kudos and therefore a 5. On a gloomy day - seems my previous review was on a day like this. Perhaps gloomy days are meant for cafes, but in that I digress. Merci to the the team at Frejus. PS Another standout, their crepes are very soft and stretchy, with good maple syrup. read more

Have been here twice now: once for lunch and once for breakfast, and the food was great both times. It's not cheap, but it is definitely value for money - the food is worth it. For lunch I had a great chicken wrap: It wasn't cheap but it was worth it, and packed solid with toppings. For breakfast I had a completely different take on French toast, which I won't even try to do justice by describing, you've just got to try it yourself (I think someone uploaded a photo of it, check it out). Most of the breakfasts came with a bowl of latte, which is always a nice size. read more

A nothing-special place to me. Little restaurant/cafe where we went to grab brunch. First impression? Very kid friendly. Almost every table had a high chair with a kid next to it, and so that is the main vibe of the restaurant. We were seated and I ordered the apple and leek soup and chicken quesadillas which were definitely not what I expected...and not necessarily in a good way. I found myself underwhelmed by the food although I have to say that their chocolate cake was delicious! One small complaint on my part is that anytime we spoke to one of our servers in English she responded in French. Despite me being able to speak and understand French for the most part, I'm more comfortable in English in certain situations and, didn't appreciate the whole "too bad I'll only speak to you in French" thing. There were even times when myself and the group I was with asked for clarification because we didn't understand certain words, and the server just kept repeating what she was saying in French expecting us to magically understand if it was repeated. I found that really frustrating! Would've given 3 stars, but docked one of this reason. Not really interested to come back to be honest! read more

After 2 hours of Kayaking, my girlfriend and I were starving and we saw that this place was only a few blocks down and had gotten great reviews online. The place is very cozy and the waitress was very friendly and efficient, we came in 1 hour before closing and ordered a meal with desert and coffee and never felt rushed by the staff, I even asked for the bill because I felt bad and was told not to worry and to finish my coffee first. As for the food, the portions were huge and tasted great. I had the chicken burrito and my gf had the salmon crepe. I did enjoy the burrito quite a bit, the salmon crepe was good, but not at the same level as the burrito. I left the restaurant with a smile and will definitely return. 4.5/5 read more

Just not my type of restaurant, although it is a favorite among the Verdunites. The food is always fresh and the price is great, but I just don't like how it comes together. Each plate is either too rich or too bland. The chairs are uncomfortable and the tables are crowded together. You can get a little more leg room in the summer by sitting out on their terrace. One thing I enjoy about the place is their art displays of local talent. The art comes in many different mediums and is actually quite affordable. I wish I could be as excited about this place as most people are in the neighborhood, but I have yet to be wowed by the food. read more

Went for brunch on a cold winter's day. Cozy and quaint atmosphere and friendly staff were only put off by a power cut. Even with that they maintained a smile and remained calm! Varied and interesting brunch options to choose from. I took a frittata and my wife took buckwheat pancakes. Both were great and presented nicely! Also note that this place is very kid friendly and they have a lot of high chairs as required! read more

Great local restaurant. Everything tastes delicious and fresh. The service is always very nice, the place is cozy and you feel like you are at home. I usually go with my husband, but I also went with friends and we always see a lot of families that are regulars. The crepes are just amazing. The presentation of the doshes make them look even tastier. Prices are very affordable and fair. I didn't give it 5 starts because I wishe there was a few more options for brunch. Otherwise, this place is absolutely great! read more

I absolutely loved this place so much! I had their latte (with soy) and tried their chocolate caramel cake and maple pecan (I think that's what it was called) cake, and they were all phenomenal. Hands down the best cake I've had so far in Montreal. They were both explosions of flavours, and the different textures within the cakes were in harmony. Man, I need one of them right now. My mom said the food there is amazing too, so I can't wait to check that out the next time I go! read more

You can really sense the effort in Frejus the moment you step in until the time you leave. Staff here really gives you 100% in service and food. Coming in late Sunday night, I ordered the legumes grillés pizza which is a pesto based vegetarian pizza with mozzarella, caramelized onions, zucchini and sunflower seeds. As someone who likes to experiment with food, this combination of toppings suited me just fine, especially when the pie comes loaded to the brim with the above ingredients. While dining staff checked in often to ensure our water glasses were never empty, and went the extra mile, offering to turn up the heat since we were by the window. Then, when my friend and I lost track of time and had yet to settle up after closing, our server remained cheery and friendly, reminding us only subtly they had to lock up for the night. The hospitality here honestly felt like I was being welcomed to and dining in a neighbour's home. Highly recommend and will be back again! read more

While staying at a bed and breakfast down the street I tried this place with my girlfriend. We found the food to be good, though not great. The service was also a bit slow for my liking -- but I'm a New Yorker... I would recommend if you are in the area and looking for cute ambiance and a decent bite. read more

Great place, give us the feeling of a home made kitchen breakfast, great size coffee, delicious maple syrup French toast. I totally recommend it. I was just missing like a bowl of warm potatoes with garlic on the side. Also good brunch price. read more

This is a nice, little venue which is very family friendly. Colouring books, fresh (sharpened) crayons, kids menu were welcoming. Our waitress generously offered for us to take a table with seating more than required for our family of four so we didn't have to worry about the kids knocking things over on the tiny bistro tables. My wife and I both enjoyed the Amber Ale on tap. I had an incredible pulled pork crêpe with Swiss cheese and maple syrup. My son devoured a large portioned pizza, my daughter the kids ham & cheese crêpe, and my wife the chicken crêpe with white wine sauce. We enjoyed the local art on the deep saturated orange walls and the generous natural light from the large windows at the front. All in all, a nice night out and about a 20 minute walk from the apartment we are staying at in le Sud-Ouest. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone with children. read more

Family brunch, enjoyed by all. Young child with us, for which they are totally prepared. Staff very friendly and helpful. Portions more than adequate read more

My review is biased because I have worked at Bistro Frejus, but truthfully this is a "salt of the earth" restaurant. The 3 owners are truly magnificent people who work long hours to provide delicious food and personalized service. The staff is happy to work there, whether they're dishwashers, cooks, or servers. The menu is original and delightful, and anyone who lives in Verdun should check out this restaurant (even if they don't include bacon in their brunch menu). The dishes are Pinterest-worthy, and the soups are exquisite. I've worked in many restaurants, and this place is a real gem! Extremely family-friendly too! Must tries: salmon mango pasta; crêpe Frejus; cajun pizza read more

Good spot to eat breakfast outside on a nice summer day. The food is better and more interesting than at the typical breakfast chains and it's reasonably priced ($12.50, coffee or OJ included). read more

Nice place in Verdun. I had one of the crepes and my partner had one of the pizzas.Simple and tasty, not sure it qualifies as a cafe as I did not notice any gourmet coffe being served, but would return. read more

Great lunch spot. Cycled out from old Montréal and was pleasantly surprised at such a fun spot. Fun, funky vibe with excellent service. Great crepes and sangria! read more

One of the several hidden gems of Verdun. Great for weekend brunch with creative (and healthier than your typical breakfast joint) menu items. The staff is friendly and efficient without being overbearing. It's got a great atmosphere every time we go! read more
