So disappointed with Rockaberry on Monkland!…read more I remember when Rockaberry was known for those HUGE, generous slices of cake -- that was part of the reason people loved going there! You felt like you were actually getting something worth your money. Now the cake slices have shrunk while the prices have gone up. This slick of cake is mostly frosting. And then a small cup of milkshake for $10?! 1/4 of this milkshake is whipped cream Come on! Customers notice when portions get smaller and prices keep climbing. It honestly feels like robbery compared to what Rockaberry used to offer. Shame on you, Rockaberry Monkland. Please bring back the generous portions and value that made people want to come in the first place.

I am continually dazzled by the pies offered at Rockaberry. I've been to other locations and have…read morewondered whether, over these years, my memories of the offerings have become exaggerated. Nope, the pies are as luscious, wildly inventive, and extravagant as I remembered. We went to the Griffintown location this time and I was charmed by both the neighborhood and restaurant. Here, the tables are spaced cozily together, mostly on one side of the space. We were quickly seated by the window, allowing us to enjoy the streetscape. Instead of checking out the menu, which included non-pie items like salads, sandwiches, and artisanal toasts, I went directly to the dessert case to examine the pros and cons of each pie option. Of course, there were too many pros and not that many cons so deciding was difficult. Before walking in, I was pretty sure I wanted something apple and nothing with cream cheese. However, once I checked out each pie (face pressed against the case), I knew that apple was key, but also the cream cheese. My sister was even more systematic, checking the menu, the pie case, and Instagram before she made her final decision, Caramel Fudge Cheese. Mine was the Apple Cheesecake. I loved the sweet, crisp apples; chunky, buttery crumbles, and light, creamy cheesecake. However, the large portion was definitely more than I could have in one sitting. The peach raspberry iced tea was surprisingly the perfect pairing. Service was fantastic. There were so many to-go orders and I worried that we would be de-prioritized. Not so - our server got our desserts out quickly, which we appreciated. Prior to this sweet treat, I was feeling a bit sluggish from a lack of sleep. With dessert and conversation, I reverted back to my usual peppy self.

Hubs had to go for the signature C'Wow - hot caramel poured at the table to watch the dome melt. Much bigger than hubs anticipated - plenty for table to share. Really sweet. Nice experience and good way to end our day.

Had a strong craving for ice cream and I had a friend recommend this place because they have a…read morespecial pudding chomeur flavour! I was very happy to walk in and see that they had vegan options and that the special could also be made with the vegan soft serve! They have plenty of other unique flavours for the regular scoops and sorbets. ( and by regular I mean made with dairy) I did need up trying the lemon pie and chai flavoured ice creams which were all really good. My only issue here was with service, we did order in English which may have lead to some confusing however we had asked if the vegan soft serve could be dipped into the chocolate coatings and were told yes. We unfortunately were served regular ice cream instead and when asked if it was vegan we were told no and that it would take a while Ri be able to make vegan ice cream. However afterwards when It was my turn to order I ordered in French and was given the vegan ice cream with absolutely no delay. If you do come here be sure to double check when ordering or asking for something in English

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.
