A really bad experience today. We went to the store at 8pm, and were told right after that it would close at nine o'clock. As soon as we got our food and sit down, which was around 8:20, the staff started packing up and cleaning right next to us. I don’t know much about the closing process at Mandy’s, but it made us feel like we were not welcome. Also, the containers and cutlery for dine-in which used to be something really attract me are no different from those for takeout, It’s not worth wasting my time to eat in the store. (Not to mention that these costs $54) I used to love Mandy’s so much and always come here every time I’m in Montreal, but the experience is just getting worse every time. I hope the owner could pay more attention on keeping the reputation while opening tons of new locations.

4 of us arrived this morning for breakfast. Every one of us really enjoyed our meals and thought the best breakfasts would could ever remember having?! From the breakfast club to the avacado /chicken and eggs, absolutely delicious! Would recommend for anyone in the downtown Montreal area!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ – A beautiful experience at Zoelle We had such a wonderful time at Zoelle. Nelson, the manager, truly elevated our visit, he took the time to share the owner’s background and explain the concept behind the restaurant, which made the whole experience feel even more special. The food was absolutely delicious, the bar was spotless and inviting, and the entire restaurant is simply beautiful. They’re also open for lunch now at very reasonable prices, which is a great bonus. Another plus: there’s valet parking available at the Sheraton right next door, which makes the whole outing even more convenient. And I have to mention the espresso martini… easily one of the best I’ve had. 😍 Highly recommend — Zoelle is a gem.

Actually the worst... I was so excited for this brunch as I am VERY obsessed with brunch. I have been to several brunch places in my area that are by far better than this place. "Cool" ambiance clearly over hyped. I don't go to restaurants for the mood but the food. My food came cold, the service was absent. My cappuccino was the worst cappuccino I have had in Canada so far. So expensive for what the food was, i had classic eggs, potatoes and pancake. It was actually the worst I've had, out of all the other places I've tried. I'm so disappointed in this place I've taken the time to write this review. I can't believe people actually line up for hours on the weekend to eat here.

12 members of the Montreal chapter of Skål International, a global association of travel executives reunited after 18 months of isolation due to Covid-19. We were served a selection of luncheon items. Our members reviewed the restaurant on its location, quality of service, quality of the food, quantity, atmosphere, and their desire to return. The group average was 4.5 on 5.

I was staying in the hotel and visited Henri Brasserie Française and was disappointed with the seating. The female host placed me at a table directly beside the kitchen door and the waiters’ preparation station, despite multiple empty tables at the entrance. I had intended to order a full meal, but the location was uncomfortable due to constant staff traffic and noise. It did not feel appropriate for a proper dining experience, especially when more suitable tables were visibly unoccupied. At the very least, I wish I had been offered a choice of seating. Because of this, I ended up only ordering appetizers and leaving earlier than planned. That said, the French soup was very good, and the waiter was exceptionally kind and attentive. I hope the restaurant improves how guests are seated, particularly when there is clear availability elsewhere.

Had such a great St. Paddy’s celebration here! 🍀 We came with a table of 10 and everything was fantastic — delicious food, great drinks, and amazing service even though it was busy. The atmosphere was fun and lively, making it the perfect spot to celebrate. Can’t wait to come back! 🍻

Such a tourist trap! First, it is packed to the gills. The staff is so rude and we tried what was supposedly the two items they are known for and both were so horrible, we threw them away. It is off a busy square and is mentioned in the Rick Steve's walking tour. Both of those red flags should have clued me in even though it is one of the oldest bakeries.
