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.
