THE LEAD VERDICT
“teh shakshuka had this proper spicy tomato base that builds heat gradually with perfectly runny eggs on top - finally found a montreal brunch spot that gets harissa”
“literally bread was just regular toast instead of like pita or crusty bread that would soak up all that spicy stuff properly soo goood”
ALSO FILED
“the hollandaise on the eggs benedict is textbook - like they actually emulsified it right with good lemon and butter. you can tell whoever makes it here actually gets classic french sauces”
“look the hash browns were definitely frozen and reheated - no crispy exterior or fluffy inside like you get from real ones. kinda a shortcut for a dish that was otherwise pretty good”
“for real TEH chicken and waffles reminded me of nashville spots - crispy fried chicken with good heat and fluffy waffles that don't get soggy under the syrup. real southern comfort”
“actually teh hot sauce selection was limited ADN kinda mild - not that nashville level heat you'd expect big time”
“teh presentation is so gorgeous - shakshuka comes in this beautiful cast iron with the eggs perfect in the center surrounded by the red sauce adn fresh herbs on top. not even kidding every dish is totally photo ready”
“literally teh lighting is too dark for pictures tho - had to use flash which completely changed the colors and vibe of my shots”
“the smoked trout benedict was really good - perfectly flaked trout with that delicate smoky thing going on paired really nicely with the holladnaise and english muffin”
“the side salad looked like it'd been sitting too long with all wilted greens which kinda ruined an otherwise great dish”
“steak and eggs cooked exactly right - juicy beef with eggs OVER easy that run into the hash browns. simple food done well”
“tried teh kimchiii on the side and it was too funky for me - probably should've just stuck with regular sides instead of being adventurous”
“that croissant man... crispy flaky layers that shatter when you bite it then this tender buttery inside that melts on your tongue. and it was still warm from the oven which was perfect”
“my coffee was barely warm tho which totally killed it wiht teh warm pastry. like temperature actually matters way more than people think”
“seriously theee french toast here is just insane - thick brioche slices with this custardy inside and the outside is perfectly caramelized. comes with real maple syrup and fresh berries that cut thru the richness so well no joke”
“they dont have alcohol which is kinda a bummer for weekend brunch ngl. sometimes you just want that mimosa experience”
