I decided to try the iced cafe mocha, the chocolate was not melted enough to have ice in it yet but it was overall a good drink. It was a little pricy but I would definitely come back again, next time I'm in the area.

We walked in to a line (always a good sign), and we were right, totally worth the wait. Service is almost magical, they somehow memorize every face, no table numbers needed. Move around if you want, they'll still find you. Our Vegan friend raved about the lentil soup. J crushed a chicken sandwich. E went falafel and loved every bite. And the other J declared the classic Iranian "meat" sandwich amazing, we have no idea what the meat was, but honestly, who cares when it tastes that good! My eggs were cooked to perfection, and they cheerfully handled all my picky substitutions. This place is a true hidden gem, and when I say hidden, I mean blink and you'll miss it. So...don't blink. Highly recommend.

They have such a wide variety of things to get but you HAVE to get the Affogato. It's to die for! The espresso is so strong and the gelato is so freshly made. The best part is this is a family owned business. Service was fantastic, quick, and inside is so clean. I will definitely be back. They are right next to dandys so if you are waiting or can't get in and want something delicious, check this place out it is right down the street.

Saturday morning in Montreal began with something called an Adventure Walk. "Adventure" is…read moreapparently human terminology for making a small Italian Greyhound exercise extensively before brunch. By the time we finished with our walk, I had earned a meal. Or so I thought. Next stop: Maman in Griffintown. Mom already knew Maman because apparently they have one back home on the Upper East Side. Yet somehow, despite living on the Upper East Side myself, I have never been taken there. Interesting. We will address this upon our return to New York. The Griffintown location has a really nice outdoor seating area running alongside the building, with blue café tables, big wooden pergolas and planters. Under normal circumstances, this would have been perfect for me. Unfortunately, it was raining. The staff very kindly told Mom and Dad that I could come inside as long as I remained in my carrier. Terms accepted. After an entire morning of adventuring, I had absolutely no objection to being carried around like important cargo. Mom ordered eggs Benedict and an iced latte. Dad went with scrambled eggs, bacon and toast plus a Diet Coke. I stayed tucked inside my carrier and monitored the bacon situation. Very closely. No further comment at this time. The humans declared brunch a success, and I appreciated having a warm, dry place to recover after my morning excursion instead of sitting outside contemplating my life choices in the rain. Dogba's verdict: 3 paws out of 5. Rainy-day hospitality: very appreciated Dogba welcome: kind and accommodating Carrier accommodations: cozy Outdoor patio: saving this for a sunnier day Mom's eggs Benedict: big success Iced latte: Mom approved Dad's bacon: closely monitored Classic Dad breakfast: successfully demolished Post-adventure recovery: excellent Dogba brunch supervision: impeccable Would I return? Absolutely. In fact, I've recently learned that Maman has a location in my own neighborhood in New York City. Mom has some explaining to do. See you on the Upper East Side, Maman. I know where you live now.

we managed to squeeze in one more brunch on our last day, making our way to maman in griffintown…read more walking in felt like stepping into a little rustic farmhouse tucked into the city, exposed brick, weathered wood, whitewashed furniture, vintage blue and white plates, hanging greenery and a beautiful tree like arrangement covered in delicate blooms. every corner had a story, with little details that made the space feel warm, inviting and effortlessly charming. we were a party of three and arrived around 11:00 am. before the food arrived, i couldn't resist trying one more fun drink before leaving montreal, the peach pie iced matcha latte with vanilla cloud. it was such a pretty seasonal creation, with fruity peach notes layered with creamy matcha and topped with a soft vanilla cloud. refreshing, a little indulgent and the perfect drink to sip while settling into our final brunch of the trip. for my meal, i ordered the eggs ratatouille, stewed eggplant, squash, peppers and tomatoes topped with two over easy eggs, herbed feta and served with toasted country bread. the dish was colourful, comforting and full of fresh flavours. the slow cooked vegetables gave it a homey feel, while the runny yolks and herbed feta added just the right amount of richness. it felt like the perfect brunch after days of exploring, satisfying and flavourful, but still light enough to leave me feeling good. the toasted country bread was perfect for scooping up every last bit of the vegetable mixture and egg yolk. but what made this brunch special wasn't just the food or the beautiful setting. it was the chance to slow down and take in everything we had experienced over the whirlwind trip, the neighbourhood walks, incredible meals, rainy adventures, festival memories and all the unexpected little discoveries along the way. we sat, chatted and laughed, replaying our favourite moments and realizing just how much we had packed into a few short days. our server was friendly and never rushed us, allowing us to enjoy those final conversations before heading home. there was something cinematic about that last morning, sunlight filtering through the windows, flowers blooming indoors, plates arriving at the table, and three friends taking a quiet moment to appreciate the adventure before it came to an end. a beautiful space, a memorable meal, great company and one final chapter to close out our montreal adventure. au revoir montreal...until we meet again.

The plating and cutlery are well thought out with great textures. My flat white was pretty tasty, and the bacon was savory and thick. The bad: my Shakshuka was subpar. I ate it because I was hungry and the service was so bad I thought I'd never get another dish if I sent it back. It lacked flavor and cohesiveness. In comparison to those I've had in the past, this was far and away the worst. I've never had to add salt and pepper to Shakshuka. The Ugly: the service was the worst I've had in years. Maybe ever. It took about 10 minutes to get greeted. The place wasn't crowded. Half the staff just stares through you. My wife had to wait an additional 5 minutes for avocado toast and smoked salmon, dishes that require no cooking. We have our toddler son with us, and when we asked for a bowl and hot water we were told they didn't have bowls. Only to serve the bread for my dish in, you guessed it, a bowl. Next to a bowl of bacon. When we scanned the room we noticed the other table with black patrons hadn't been served and they got here before us. You couldn't pay me to come back here.
