Ambiance is beautiful here. Very cozy and cute cafe but unfortunately the food was horrible. The grilled cheese was soggy and cold. The coffee on the other hand was delicious. Overall, not a bad place but I'd come just for the coffee and sweets. read more

This place owns!!! Great tartines, fabulous decor, fun locale. Highly recommend the salmon or the avocado. read more

We were looking for a quick breakfast spot and were able to sit at an outside table at maman. It was a beautiful fall morning, the staff was kind, and the food came out so quickly! Everything was tasty. I love almond croissants and so I've tried about a million and a half and this one was fine - I give it a 3.5. The rest of our food was fantastic! read more

Come here for the delicious breakfast, service (though not all of them are great.. the blonde from the last time I was here, was quite uppity) and vibes of a casual cafe bistro thing. Do not come here for the pastries or the cake. They're both too cold and flavourless as a result. The only decent thing was the chocolate chip cookie. Period. Portions are decent, not mammoth but enough to be satisfying. read more

I was looking forward to trying out this location as I've been to the Toronto location before. I was very let down by the service. The server we had forgot to place our order and we waited half an hour for the food before we asked him when we were getting it. By that point we ordered iced lattes and pastries as we knew it would be quicker than something prepared from the kitchen. Honestly, pretty underwhelmed by the whole experience. Cute cafe but service needs to be a lot better. Food was okay, nothing extraordinary. read more

Not usually a café person, but I came here with a friend. They have really good pancakes, and I really enjoyed their lavender green tea! Staff was very friendly although it did take a while for us to get our food. It has a really nice atmosphere and would make for a great date location. read more

Great service, but the chocolate chip nut cookie was very disappointing, saw the owners story online, thought I would try it, no way are their cookies even close to LeVain bakery. Half the size, half the price yes, but taste counts, these were awful. There I said it, try one, then try LeVain, LeVain wins, in my opinion. read more

Get the French toast with espresso mascarpone if you want to feel alive again. It changed my life.

Went here for the first time- wow! From the moment you walk in it feels like you are entering a fairy tale, with beautiful vintage decor and mismatched furniture. The service is good and menu delicious! Tried the avo toast, sophia sandwhich and Yves salad- all absolutely delectable! Would not change one thing, and we were very well served in French! Highly highly recommend for a charming and delicious brunch experience!! read more

I've heard a lot about Maman NYC locations and couldn't wait to try their new Montreal spot, and let's say that it didn't disappoint! I went there on lunchtime with a friend, first we ordered a moka and a latte, both were great... kudos to the latte art which was amazingly done! Then I went for their croque maman à la truffe with an egg (they kinda had me at homemade bechamel sauce), the bread wasn't dry, the portions were gargantuan, I loved it! Now, my friend who was raised in the south of France, was more than happy to see items on the menu that were familiar to her palate and ordered the ratatouille... and didn't like her dish. She ended up giving it to me, and guess what? I loved it! To me it was mostly a matter of taste, or maybe because I'm not an expert in South of France cuisine lol. All in all, the service was great, the interior was fabulous, I'll be back for sure! read more

Loved this place! Not sure why everyone was complaining about the service, we had no delay being seated, served and our water was always full even if it was busy. Either way Sunday afternoon is fine for service! As for the food it was really amazing. We had the egg ratatouille (vegetarian) and the breakfast sandwich which had the most amazing sauce in it. Would definitely recommend the sandwich! There were so many other great sounding dishes, will be back to try them! The decor is also very pretty! They have individual tables to sit at for 2 people and also large picnic tables. We sat at the big tables and it was very cozy and still felt private unlike some other restaurants which have communal tables. Very cute new spot in Griffintown. read more

Cute decor, interesting menu however i feel like the service is lacking. Takes so long to get your order even if the place is not full, and the employees are just chatting amongst themselves while leaving you unattended. This place has potential but they need to fix their service. Great donuts & the most delicious cookies. read more

Très belle place pour des photos Instagram, victimes de son succès, il est préférable de réserver pour un bon brunch entre amis ou pour simplement boire un café autour d'une viennoiserie. Je n'ai eu l'occasion que de prendre un latté mais c'est sûr que très prochainement je veux tester le brunch. Service correct read more

My high expectations was a let down. Maman is well known in NY, Toronto... is located in the heart of our Montreal, in Griffintown. It's a perfect spot; the restaurant is very charming with old and new mix of decors. It has the vibe of rustic feel and Victoria era. The service is initially super slow; a waitress attended us after 20 minutes of sitting with no water yet. The restaurant wasn't busy yet, but it got afterwards. After, ordering our drinks and meal; everything arrived promptly. My coffee is presented beautifully in Victorian cup with a saucer. The highlight was the creamer which is a bunny. Very adorable. As per the main dish, I had a sandwich called Jessalyn sandwich with greens on the side. The sandwich was with grilled halloumi, pickled onion, cucumbers, leek hummus and mint. The sandwich was good but halloumi was very salty, and the bread was hard to chew. The side salad's dressing was very bitter. My sister had a cappuccino and Florence salad with red quinoa, halloumi, squash, artichoke and harissa. Again, halloumi was too salty, and the salad was soggy because of too much dressing. Overall beautiful place, average service and below average food. In conclusion, I was happy to try this place though. read more

We had an amazing time, we came here early and were tired but our server was in an awesome mood which made our day. Friendly staff, good vibes, the food hit the spot too I love a place that's genuine, isn't over the top for no reason, and this has just the perfect balance. Thank you guys!!! Keep it going, keep it real. read more

Maman - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

Ordered an Americano , waitress dropped it off without asking if i want milk or sugar , i then asked for sugar , she dropped it off without bringing me a stir stick or a spoon , my order was Avocado on toast , never got it after 45 min wait , im not a chef but how long does it take to smash some avocado and spread it on some bread , so i paid for my coffee and got the hell out . I think this place is called maman cause i left crying for my mommy after that shitty service read more

I went here for brunch with a friend yesterday and it was just what we needed to thaw out on an ice-rain winter's day: cozy, quaint and unpretentious. (I had literally slipped and fallen on an icy sidewalk about 10 minutes prior, which made me extra grateful for the warm service and atmosphere... ) We loved the service. The extra touches like the latte art and fabulous baked goods at the front were just plain sweet. The menu was chock-full of healthy salads, as well as creative twists on traditional brunch dishes. (The portions are on the small side; this was fine with me, but this may not be the place if you are looking to get a big heavy breakfast.) Everything we ordered was fresh and delicious -- and please do not leave before trying the bacon jam! It's to die for! I only wish I lived closer so I could go there more often! read more

Flies were in the display case and the pastries were dry. The food is never changing and poor quality. I don't recommend this place at all. read more

I was in the mood to try something different from our usual list of places that my husband and I go to. So this time we decided to walk in the west direction and we found ourselves in front of Maman. They seemed to be doing a good job of following all the covid-19 safety guidelines: limit on the number of people inside, distance between the tables, and masks for the staff as well as the customers picking up food. We felt less anxious sitting there to eat. We got the Mediterranean breakfast and egg ratatouille (gluten-free and non-dairy) - they replaced the feta cheese and bread with roasted potatoes for me, which I thought was nice of them. Really enjoyed the food. I found a small piece of hair in my dish (which is fine, it happens sometimes). When I pointed it out to them, they immediately apologized and got me a slice of their gluten free pistachio cake, which I loved so much that I got another one for takeout. I really enjoyed my breakfast here. Also, our server was super nice. Definitely recommend it! read more

We stumbled upon this rustic style brunch cafe and loved it. The food is fantastic - very flavorful and healthy! Quick service and kind staff. The interior decor is beautiful. The coffee and pastries are a must. A little expensive, but worth the price! Highly recommend visiting! read more

I went with 3 other people to try this new brunch place today. We arrived at 9:00 am so we wouldn't have to wait in line, and were seated immediately. The space is really nice, with a rustic garden feel. So far so good. Two of my friends ordered the pancakes with the lemon basil sauce. They were truly excellent. Crave worthy, unique and beautifully presented. I ordered the salad with the halloumi and artichoke. It was very good although a little light on the halloumi and a little heavy on the dressing. I also ordered the hashbrowns which were bland and kind of soggy. My other friend ordered the salad with the smoked salmon and asked if it came with hashbrowns, since she had seen it pictured that way on Instagram, but it was not mentioned in the description on the menu. The server said no so she ordered a side. When her dish arrived it did in fact have hashbrowns in it, and she ended up with double hashbrowns... so that was confusing. We also had regular filtered coffee which was decent. Unfortunately we were disappointed to learn that there is a no refill policy and considering that a cup is 3.50$, I'd say that's kind of crazy. read more

This place is adorable! I went in with a friend and we were in a bit of a rush, which we let the waiters know since in some places the wait times are a bit ridiculous. At Maman, the food was ready in 5-10 minutes and the waiters were very attentive and quick! Also, the pricing was really good for such a fancy place. About the same as the big breakfast places like Allo Mon Coco or Cora's except the atmosphere and decor is leagues better. Recommending it to all of my friends! read more

I'm quite certain they can afford to put more then 2 marshmallows on their s'mores cookies. Smh. Overall it's unfortunate when establishments don't put care/effort into their service/product. Their name can only take them so far. read more

Super cute restaurant located In Griffintown , in Montreal. I tried a latte with skim milk and had the traditional maman breakfast plate, while my friend has the Sofia sandwich and a black iced coffee. Both plates were super good! They served real maple syrup which made the pancakes yummy 10x better. Everything was really good and left there full. The environment was super nice and the waiters were professional. Their bathroom needs some work done but besides that I really enjoyed my visit and will return again in the warmer months read more

Maman - Sofia plate and maman breakfast plate - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

Great healthy brunch menu and a superb atmosphere. The only thing is that it's so popular sometimes they are too busy. I ordered a salad that had potatoes but they ran out of potatoes and so I ordered a sandwich which was delicious. They took a lot of time though because they got confused with my sandwich and that of my friend. However, they only charged me half so all good. Overall good experience but come early! I will definitely come back. read more

Decent food and pastries but very disappointing coffee, which is a shame because they serve Parlour, which is usually delicious when done right (also hard to find in Montreal). The owners don't seem to know the correct way to make espresso based drinks. Instead of asking customers if they want single or double, they ask if you want a smalll, medium or large. My 'small' americano with milk tasted like watery milk. The cup was too large for a 'small'. read more

Oct 13, 2019. The staff is confused & not attentive. We asked if we could sit on the outside terrace and were told it's not open. (20 minutes later the terrace was full of people being served. :( They never told us they opened it up). We sat at the bar at first where the bar waitress ignored us. We had to go get a bottle of water to fill our own glasses. After asking her if some of the dishes were served with bread, she had to go ask another server each time as she did not know the menu. We ordered the avo toast with an extra egg and the food came with only 1 egg. (We stopped a male server to tell him the extra egg was forgotten but no one came to see us and they never brought the egg). But we were charged for the extra egg. In addition every time someone walked behind us our chairs rattled and the floor bounced. The floors or horrible. Not well constructed. It was so uncomfortable that we had to move spots. The food took almost 30 minutes to be served. The 1 egg was hard and almost cold. No server brought us water. Our glasses remained empty the.entire time. It was a struggle to get anyone's attention to pay. Finally my boyfriend paid and when I saw they charged us for the extra egg they couldn't reimburse us on the credit card so they gave us a handful of loose coins. Horrible experience. Montreal has so many amazing restaurants with great service. Will not go back to Maman. read more

Amazing lunch at Maman yesterday! Beautiful setting, bright and cozy, with friendly and welcoming staff. From the pancakes to the croque-maman, including house eggnog, everything was excellent. And yes, of course: the cookies are die for. I love all their NYC locations - yes, started by a Montrealer - and couldn't be happier they are now close to home! I held an event at their Tribeca location last year and was so impressed with the service, food, ambiance. Big 5* PS: They do catering & private events im Mtl too! read more

Had the most amazing lunch with my daughter today. The service was second to none, warm and friendly and so down to earth and genuine. The food was innovative and delicious!!! A must try. I'll be back for sure. read more
