Had it been half the price I would give it 5 stars. it gets 2 stars here as portions are good and they properly cooked calmari (though are they afraid of the spice rack or something ??), so, a charity point. Terrasse and restaurant itself very comfortable and calm. Service was inconsistent depending on the person involved, either awesome or 'have you seen them lately?'. sadly, will not repeat the experiment. #roomforimprovement

Stumbled upon the cutest delicious brunch spot during a random walk in Montreal Quebec …read more Portions were generously massive. The ambiance was lively but still comfortable enough to have a conversation with your company without screaming or repeating. Servers were very polite and knowledgeable. My friend and i underestimated how much food we ordered and the were kind enough to move us to another table and assisted with us getting seated seamlessly without being responsible for carrying anything over. They really know how to describe what eat dish was and what to expect when ordering the specific items. During the summers they have a cutie patio where you can enjoy your coffee brunch and just enjoy the outdoor air and feel the sun it's such a nice feeling. Don't be intimidated by the french, the menu still has english on it but if you need a better description that's where the server fills in the blank. I'm definitely revisiting when i'm in town again!

Café Parvis ended up being the perfect choice for my birthday meal during a solo trip to Montreal--…read moreexactly the vibe I was hoping for. I sat at the bar and had a lovely vegetable soup, a burrata appetizer, and a glass of wine. Everything was simple, well executed, and comforting without feeling heavy. It felt intentional and relaxed -- ideal when you're dining alone but still want something special. The bartender struck the perfect balance: friendly and attentive, but not overly chatty. It made the experience feel easy and welcoming without being intrusive. If you're traveling solo or just want a great spot to enjoy a quiet, quality meal at the bar, Café Parvis is an excellent choice.

It's a very…read moreelegant/sophisticated vibe on the inside but the staff is very nice without any pretention you might fear come along with the decor. Their continental breakfast was so good we didn't bother ordering anything off the regular menu. Each breakfast came with a pastry of choice, and I got the (very large but delicious) croissant. There was also a yogurt parfait with berries and granola that was a perfect compliment to the carbs of my croissant. I didn't really get my coffee refilled so I'm not sure if that's all you get, but it was still a lovely coffee and I enjoyed dining here. They also have a really lovely outdoor patio that we finally got a moment to visit. I would have come for the patio alone, it was so lovely and everything I needed on a warm summer afternoon. Sometimes it took awhile for our server to come out and check on us, but we had the time so it didn't really matter. He was super nice and knowledgeable about the menu.

A delightful breakfast on a weekday morning!…read more We were lucky enough that Renoir opened as early as 7 AM and so seeing the glowing reviews, we had to stop by. The first thing I noticed right off the bat was the beautiful layout of the restaurant. They had plenty of seating, and I love that there was a variety from booth to traditional tables to couches! This restaurant was truly elegant. For someone who always gets overwhelmed with choices, I really appreciated that their breakfast menu was straight to the point, and while there were still many offerings, it was succinct. Our table started off with some juices and coffee - I decided on the grapefruit juice, but I really wish I had tried the orange juice because it was definitely freshly squeeze and I was told that it was so sweet and delicious! The grapefruit juice was good too, but I forgotten how bitter grapefruit can be :,) for my entrée I got the eggs Benedict with a side of potatoes, and this was cooked to perfection. The eggs Benedict still had that runny yolk with a savory hollandaise sauce while the potatoes were one of best breakfast potatoes I've ever had. The flavor was Herby and potato was firm enough to still have that crispy exterior but soft enough that I could break the potato in half with my fork. Another thing I have to brave about this restaurant was the service. Our waiter was so kind and funny and he was always coming back to attend to us and make sure that we had everything we needed. Really love this place and hopefully I can come back again for breakfast in Montreal!

My bride ordered the Mexicaine Omelet but swapped the cheese for feta and loved it. I went with the Smoked Salmon Omelet and it was excellent. The serving is so generous with all the sides like sausage, ham, potatoes, baguette and fruit. We both loved the baguette and the fruit bowl had 8 different varieties of fruit. Who does that? We really enjoyed it and left very satisfied. If breakfast is your thing, you need to try this place.

I came here on my last morning in Montreal, and even though it was a holiday and there was a long wait, including for solo diners at the counter, it was absolutely worth it. The service was friendly, and honestly, this was one of the best breakfasts of my life. The French toast was incredible, the sausage was great, and the eggs were cooked perfectly. They also give you a lot of food for the price. It did take multiple attempts to ask them for me to get more syrup, which was frustrating. But outside of that, everything was excellent. I hope to come back one day to enjoy it again.

I had the Quebec burger which is made with mushrooms, Brie, and an amazing apple and bacon compote. Fantastic! Excellent restaurant to kick off our trip!

Our waitresses recommendations were fire. We enjoyed: Complementary bread: it was soft on inside and appropriately crunchy but not overly so on the outside. Plus two huge pieces cut into 4 pieces individually. Beef tartare: at 20 cad it was a little pricy for how much you got but the taste was great and I'm a fan of comte cheese. Plus it didn't have capers which imo overwhelms tartares. Duck with carrot: as a Chinese person I've had my share of duck but this might be the best duck I've ever had in my life. The texture and cook on it was awesome! First it came with three pieces of breast. It was the perfect cook, not over like most of the places I've had duck. Then the leg had the perfect crispy fatty skin to meat ratio. Yum yum this is a can't miss dish here Burger: husband got this. I took a bite. It had a nice smoke to it and was perfectly medium rare. I was too distracted by my duck to analyze it further. Raspberry jelly for dessert: as the waitress had mentioned, it was light and a perfect sweet but tart bite. Was great! Would come here again, we had l'express earlier in this trip and place carmin blows that place out of the water.

I had breakfast at Maison Boulud during my short stay at the Ritz-Carlton Montreal. The restaurant…read moreis attached to the hotel, so it seemed correct we dine here before checking out. That being said, we made the short walk from our room to start the day. Maison Boulud is one of several restaurants by chef Daniel Boulud. In addition to this location in Montréal, I believe there's another one in Singapore. The restaurant conveniently has an entrance off the lobby, though it also has its own dedicated entrance on the street. The interior was mostly empty when we arrived, mainly because it was a lovely day and most patrons (including us) opted to sit in their outdoor area. The decor is top tier - high end finishes with interesting art and pops of color throughout. The outdoor area was semi-enclosed with lovely views of foliage and a small pond with ducks swimming...aww! For breakfast, they offered the option of a la carte or their buffet. We opted for the latter, which was quite abundant. There was a great selection of traditional breakfast offerings like scrambled eggs, sausage, bacon, yogurt, and fruit. They also had some interesting pastries and breads, plus an omelette station. Everything I tried was delicious. Service was great, we were taken care of promptly and despite it being self-service, we never felt ignored. Overall, I had a great experience at Maison Boulud. I don't think I got the quintessential experience as I was only here for breakfast, but I would definitely return for another meal.
