Wonderful! We had the Lac Brome and the Sante, and Moka Orange and the Golden Latte. The food was absolutely delicious and the drinks were good although we felt the Golden latte wasn't strong enough for our liking. Service was attentive and quick with a vibrant atmosphere that was lively and cozy. I'd definitely back back.
We arrived at 8:59 am and were behind another party (with a reservation) waiting to enter when they opened at 9 am. Within ten minutes of opening, more than half a dozen tables were filled. And this on a December Monday morning when the streets were coated in sheets of ice. But the reputation is well-earned! The place has a hipster vibe. The service was good and the food was remarkably good. We highly recommend.
Small market, cafe spot. The lunch menus starts at 11:30am, a few brunch options are available. Ordered a green tea, oat milk latte, granola, yogurt and berries, chicken teriyaki on quinoa salad, Tex Mex chicken wrap. C$70.31 / $50.19 The oat milk latte is good. The Sencha green tea is in a small pot and it's still rather weak. Tea options needs some work. The Tex Mex wrap is good, the avocado makes any wrap better. The wrap was grilled up and packed. The granola and yogurt with blueberries was just okay, some granola pieces were quite hard to chew on. Not special. The granola here could use some quality checks. The chicken teriyaki isn't bad, light teriyaki seasoning. A healthy dose of quinoa bed salad. Felt like a light meal after consumption. Service was so-so, not super attentive or friendly.
Best spot we've had in Canada so far. The breakfast menu with the skillet and the pancakes was absolutely delicious. A friend and I split the two of them. I also got a maple latte which was delicious as well. Places super cute, staff is friendly, and our waitress did a great job very attentive. Five out of five.
A great menu to choose from with classics like Eggs Benedict or to an iron skillet with scrambled eggs, meat, potatoes, baked beans, and more. Didn't have that because it was huge but smelled awesome. Quaint store/market as you enter and then led into the dining room which is well laid out. Space between tables unique for the area. Breathing room galore. Server was very attentive even after the place filled up behind us. Food presentation was inviting and the quality was great. Would highly recommend and certain I'll return.
Wonderful mocha and hot chocolate. Got the orange mocha one day and it tasted like a high quality bite of a fine creamy dark orange chocolate bar. Got the white hot chocolate another day and while the flavor profile didn't fully align with my tastes, it was clearly high quality and my partner loved it (I also did still enjoy it). It it would be perfect for someone who likes goat milk, since it had something like that slightly grassy earthy flavor. We also enjoyed the duck confit eggs benedict, the outdoor cafe atmosphere, and the attentive service. Cute shop inside with some great picks (I enjoy Qantu but have a more limited selection in the states!).
What a cute cafe in montreal! I forgot what the name I got, but it was an eggs benedict with smoked salmon. It sounded so good all three of my friends and i got it and it was so good. Our waitress was very sweet and kind and gave us recommendations. I got the orange chocolate coffee and although i asked for it iced, it did come out hot, but nonetheless it was still really good hot. Would recommend coming!
Le Cartet is one of our favorite brunch spots in Montreal. We try to visit every time we are in town, and at this point have been at least 5 times. The food is delicious, including excellent benedicts and breakfast sandwiches. We have had consistently great service, and servers were very patient and understanding our last two visits when our party included a small child. Along with food and great coffee, Le Cartet also has to-go items for sale, including local beers and ciders. A great place all around.
Absolutely loved this place- definitely gives you that French bistro vibe, which is exactly what you want when searching for brunch in Montreal! We had a party of 5 on a Saturday morning and despite there being a line outside, we only had to wait for about 20 minutes to be seated, which was reasonable. I cannot overemphasize how friendly the staff was as well. We were going to order dessert at the same time as our meal, and the waitress suggested we hold off because we would probably be full, and boy was she right! The food was OUTSTANDING! I ordered the Toscan, which is eggs Benedict...and it wound up being the best eggs Benedict I've ever had. We also had the croissant egg, cheese, and scrambled eggs....and again even though it is such a simple meal, something about it was so delicious. The croissant itself was the perfect combo of crispy and soft. Would 100% recommend you come here if you are in this part of town.
Yummy brunch spot in downtown Montreal! Service is good and the restaurant is very cute. Seemed like a lot of locals were eating here. Golden latte was excellent (had it with oat milk because they were out of coconut milk), not sweet but had a nutty quality. Nordique was very filling, I felt the price was ok considering the amount of food and the location.
Delightful restaurant with a deli and coffee take away section. The communal tables have plexiglass for safety. The food was delicious- especially the simple salad dressing. And goat cheese in eggs is genius. Great location close enough to walk to metro and notre dame. I enjoyed seeing the kitchen staff because it looked like the enjoyed their job. The wait staff have a sink in sight so you can see they wash their hands. Bathrooms were clean too.
Loved this breakfast place in Montreal! Neat, clean and modern! The friendliest servers so early in the morning too! Food was fresh and came to our table so quickly! Our coffees were delicious. We ordered the Sante and the nordique. I can't say enough for how good it was. Such a nice surprise! A friend recommend this spot and I am so glad she did!!! And.... I must say the washroom was spot on. I have a little OCD so it was nice to see this up to par.
We first visited Le Cartet for brunch a year ago and couldn't wait to go back on our next trip to Montréal. Both times, everyone in our party raved about the food. Best place we've been to for brunch in North America. Yes... I'm serious.
Stopped by to get a quick coffee. Went for a moyen café au lait. Good coffee. Pretty standard one which works. The staff was nice and friendly. Good amount of space to work and have some coffee + food. There's street parking outside although it can be challenging to find one near the cafe. Would love to try it again. read more

Apparently Mom and Dad have been coming to Le Cartet for years. Without me. I'm trying not to dwell on that. They actually discovered one of their favorite local artists, James Kennedy, through the incredible metal cut-out artwork inside the restaurant. So Le Cartet has always been one of those special Montreal places they like returning to. This visit, however, included an important upgrade: Me. Since I was in attendance, we sat outside on their good-sized street patio, surrounded by big flower boxes. It's a great spot to watch the neighborhood go by while having brunch. Unfortunately, the flowers also appear to have excellent Yelp reviews among the local bee population. The bees were VERY enthusiastic. Mom ordered the pulled-pork Benedict, which came with two poached eggs piled over a generous amount of pulled pork, along with roasted potatoes and a little bowl of fresh fruit. She also ordered a latte with very pretty latte art. Dad's breakfast arrived in an entire cast-iron skillet containing scrambled eggs, sausages, bacon, beans, roasted potatoes and toast. I would like the record to show that there were multiple forms of meat within inches of me. For my own safety -- from the bees, allegedly -- I remained tucked inside my carrier for most of brunch. Was this protection? Or was this an elaborate strategy to keep me away from Dad's bacon and sausages? The investigation remains open. The food looked fantastic, the patio was lovely, and Mom and Dad were very happy to be back at one of their longtime Montreal favorites. As for me, I enjoyed the people watching, avoided an international incident with the bees, and added another Montreal brunch establishment to my professional portfolio. Dogba's verdict: 3 paws out of 5. Flower-lined street patio: lovely People watching: excellent Dad's skillet: borderline excessive Number of meats within sniffing distance: concerning Mom's pulled-pork Benedict: big success Mom's latte art: very fancy Bee attendance: enthusiastic Carrier accommodations: secure Dogba's brunch supervision: impeccable Would I return? Absolutely. Mom and Dad already have years of evidence supporting this decision. I would simply request that next time we visit, the bees make other brunch plans -- and Dad's bacon-sharing policy undergo a formal review. read more

Brunch du dimanche, on ne peut pas réserver et la place est toujours bondée. Nous avons eu de la chance, une petite table était disponible. Le service était extra, notre serveuse était très joviale, en plus d'être efficace et de bons conseils. Nous avons pris des assiettes de brunch. Tout était délicieux et très bien présenté. Clairement un lieu que je retenterai! read more
I've always seen this place is super popular for the past couple of years so wanted to see what all the hype is about. It's a solid brunch place and does get very busy very early so make sure you come in early especially on a weekend. The service was very fast and prompt despite the larger number of patrons so that was great! I got the avocado toast with a poached egg which had a ton of sautéed vegetables on it. This was really nice since it added more flavour and was surprisingly very filling. It wasn't just a three ingredient item like some brunch places serve ;). Their poached egg was a great consistency. My partner got the smoked salmon eggs Benedict which he said was quite good. read more

This restaurant, though it took a while to navigate to form our hotel, was worth the walk and more! We walked in and we're greeted warmly and got a cozy seat under beautiful decor and lights. The staff were wonderful, greeting us in both French and English, and chose a wonderful seat for us to dine. They did have only French menus, but using Google translate images helped. I ordered the Coupe Santé and the Dark hot chocolate, which were both of excellent quality and served in less than five minutes! We expected to be there for at least an hour, but we got our food almost instantly and was delectable. The dark hot chocolate was a bit strong and dark for my taste, but helped balance with the light and sweet Coupe Santé. I'd recommend this place for those for want a quick filling breakfast or a cozy place to relax and have a coffee. read more

I went to this place for breakfast, never thought it would be this good! I ordered a Coupe Santé, the granola and fruits were amazing but I didn't really like the yogurt, it was a bit too sour for me. I also had a white hot chocolate, and it tasted really good! My favourite was the granola from the Coupe Santé, I couldn't stop eating it! However, there was a fly that kept bugging me. read more

Had LAC BROME 24.75$ (Nov 2022) Basically duck Benedict. Benedictine eggs served on English muffin, orange hollandaise sauce, duck confit and onion compote with red wine, spinach, roasted potatoes, greens. The vibe inside is great. The menu is simple yet diverse. This is the perfect place for breakfast or brunch. No regrets. * I came at 1pm on a Sunday. They had run out of smoked salmon. So the NORDIQUE 25.00$ (Nov 2022) Poached eggs, smoked salmon, sesame bagel, cream cheese with pesto, capers, red onion, Spicy mayonnaise with smoked paprika, roasted potatoes, greens Was OFF the menu. read more

Very nice place, incredible service and awesome food. Forgot to take a picture of the side bacon, but it deserves some praise. It's not on the menu, but you can also order some viennoiserie (we had a chocolatine and a chocolatine aux amandes which are always my favorites). Benedictine eggs were delicious. I'm definitely coming back here. read more
Boo Boo and I had a nice long brunch here when we were in Montreal. We ordered the brunch plates Cantons and Nordique. I specifically remembered I snagged the last maple croissant. The food was tasty and substantial because we walked to the botanitcal garden afterwards. We waited for 10-15 minutes. But, its worth it. bathroom clean. CC accepted. Our waiter was very nice. I felt bad for him since he had the outside area. read more
This perfect cafe was exactly what my girlfriend and I were looking for. The food was amazing, they might have the worlds best Bloody Mary, the service was great, and the ambiance felt more local than tourist (although as a tourist you can never be sure). I had the duck sandwich, which was recommended by the waiter and was delicious. It came on a big Texas toast type bread, which was grilled, and the smoked duck was incredibly flavorful. read more

First brunch in Montreal and I decided to visit Le Cartet! We came on a Friday at noon and there was no wait. The staff were friendly and food came really fast. We ordered a smoothie to share, duck confit benedict, and maple pulled pork grilled cheese. The benedict had a really good Hollandaise sauce and plenty of duck. The maple pulled pork was sweeter than I expected but still delicious on that buttery bread and the side of potato salad had a bit of dill in it and it was good as well. Portions and pricing were good and the restaurant was bigger than I thought it would be. read more

Between all the searching and places coming up CLOSED for the day- and set to reopen between 5-5:30pm, Cartet was the lone survivor. I honestly didn't want anything too filling and liked Cartet's Brunch menu right away with Salads, Waffles, Croissants and such. As we were told, Cartet has changed with the times- and for the better. Place is very comfortable and cute. See it as a long space with steps leading up inside, seating along the whitewashed brick wall and middle aisle- and kitchen/prep stations to the right. Let me not forget their gourmet shop as you enter if you want to stock up on their dry Pastas, Oils, Jams, Teas (Kusmi) and Chocolates....the list goes on and on. Cartet brings in a really nice eye to simple style. This ultra trendy- yet friendly, low-key spot is almost like a full-service type shop. Both of our Brunch items and Aperol Spritz were good. Service was pleasant and price was on point. Cartet earns its place here for a cool atmosphere without it being stuffy at all. And if you want to mix with the locals- this is the place to come. read more

The most outstanding thing about this place is the good service the waitress was kind knowledgeable and prompt. The avocado toast was a heaping portion and definitely fills you up, I will say it needed a bit acidity from lemons and maybe some pickled onion in top to elevate the flavor. My husband had the poached egg on a bagel over smoked salmon with capers spicy Mayo and other veggies (I can't remember the name) he said he loved it. we also had drinks from the coffee bar. I had the coffee of the day which was a maple creme based latte it was phenomenal. My husband said the americanos were rich and perfect. read more
Wonderful cafe that serves up amazing pastries and gourmet breakfast/ brunch choices. Lots of seating indoors and out. Gets busy quick so come early. Our party of four enjoyed each of the dishes we tried. While waiting, we ordered a plate of pastries, which we let our server select). The pastries were fantastic! The dishes themselves were very good, with the potatoes being my favorite. read more

After landing in Montreal for the first time, we needed some food! I looked on Yelp and found Le Cartet so we took an Uber (25 min) and was not disappointed. The coffee was amazing but the food was outstanding. Highly recommended to all. read more

Le Cartet has been on my list for quite some time, but to be frank, I must say it sadly didn't live up to the expectations! The served brunch dishes were lacking flavour and portions were small for the price. Their signature ice coffee was blend and way too much ice! However, service was quick and friendly, staff wore masks all time. 3.5 rounding it up to 4, to take into account current situation. read more
