Instead we insisted on braving the elements. During the hour long wait outside on the sidewalk the outdoor patio umbrella began waving precariously to and fro in the strong windstorm. It nearly knocked over one very tall patron who was reading his phone and oblivious to the swaying patio umbrella. Grey clouds were rolling in. No one seemed to be bothered by the potential storm. We kept telling ourselves the food would be worth the wait. A table became available for our group and we hurried inside to warm up our frostbitten faces. Our pleasant server quickly took our orders, exchanged some pleasant banter and immediately brought our drinks to the table. Although the inside space was tight our seat neighbors were very friendly. They were in town for a while visiting family and the family decided to have brunch together before touring the city. Our food arrived promptly. It was prepared quickly. The ambiance was convivial. A good time was had by all. We bought several pastries and bread to take home before leaving. It was worth the wait.

Over the last few months I've probably tried about 40% of their pastries (maybe less since they always have something new!) and had to buy new pants. Pastries are beautifully made, works of art that are consistent and fresh every day. They sometimes have left over mystery bags you can get for a few dollars, which is also pretty great. Their canelés are my favorite in the city! The staff are always super helpful and make excellent coffee drinks. They have pop-up dinners on their patio from to time, which I will have to check out soon :)

My friend was visiting here for the summer and she wanted to have brunch. I have seen this cafe a…read morefew times while passing by, so I suggested this place for a Saturday brunch. The reviews suggested that we come here early (as it gets very crowded once the lunch hour starts), so we came by before 12 noon. A friendly young lady welcomed us and took us to our seat (which was around the middle area of the cafe). Our waitress welcomed us and asked if we have been here before- then let us know that there is a seating time limit. Knowing this, we decided to order first, then catch up. My friend ordered Fish-O-Filet and I picked Holmpei Pancake with smoked salmon. After a few minutes, our orders arrived and we could not wait to eat! My friend said that the fish was juicy yet crispy, the veggies were fresh and the portion size was great. I enjoyed my pancake as well, the pancake was soft yet fluffy and all the ingredients were fresh. We were too full, so we did not have any room to try their drinks. Friendly service and yummy food, highly recommended!

Asian cafe review!…read more Food: A wide variety of Asian inspired foods. The ube coconut drink was like a healthier boba tea. The waffle was the most unique waffle, like a salad on a waffle and the udon had the best chewy texture and the steak melted in my mouth. I'm surprised they made the steak so tender. The curry was better than othe restaurants who specialize in curry. Service: Was quick. No complaints. Surprisingly, I got a seat, this restaurant is usually full. Ambiance: Small spot, packed. Tables were a bit close to each other. Right next to Eaton Center and lots of other restaurants. I really enjoyed this spot for brunch. Definitely will be back to try more. All the foods were a surprise. Try the seasonal menu if it's available.

Had the Bloody Marys, which were great! They were balanced and well-made. Ordered the French toast and the Waffles Melody with peameal bacon. Food came out fast and fresh.

Service was friendly. The space is casual, pub-like, with interesting decor. Would come again for a relaxed late brunch, and highly recommend the waffles

This is as close to an authentic french food as you can get, I love the quiches, they are so fluffy, airy and delicious, the pastries are outstanding, made with lots of butter (as they should) and really everything is good here. The only drawback i have is the average coffee and the very tight space. If you like french pastries this is for you (just bring coffee from mcdonalds next door)

Today, a friend and I were sitting with refreshments and chatting for only 20 minutes when there was a few people waiting for a table. At the same time, my friend and I became uncomfortable with the waitress' behaviour as it felt like she was pressuring us to leave. Not to sound like sour grapes but their once lovely pastries and quiches, made with butter, are often stale and now taste like they are made with palm oil. Gone are the better times at Pain Perdu. We will not return.

While those are free, you should think of them more as decoration as they may be a little stale and completely unsalted. They are popped onsite... I just don't know when. They have a decent variety of crepes in this restaurant as well as some other food like pastas and smoothies. Their crepes are generally well made, as you would expect from a creperie. Some french restaurant make their crepes too dry, but not here. They strike the right balance of flakey and fluffy. The sausage crepe has a generous helping of sausages inside as well as spinach. We also tried their Montreal smoked meat pasta, which was a pleasant surprise. It was saucy and flavourful, with the mustard making the dish stand out. Overall this was a good experience and it's definitely one of the better restaurants in the area. The prices are not unreasonable for the quality of food. Expect about $20-30 pp after tax and tip.
