In no particular order:
1. Week-end brunch at La Bête a Pain on Fleury O.
In this situation, all the points go to food and quality/ ingredients and flavor combinations. Because to be totally honest we waited well over an hour to be seated (they don't take reservations for small groups), which to anyone that knows me well is pretty much the worst thing that you can do to a hungry Donna. Then with no real instructions we take our seat and it takes a few moments before someone actually tells us we need to order at the counter and get our own plates. This was very confusing to us considering how fairly elaborate and high quality the food is. ALL THIS BEING SAID, you know it's good food when after this, I still walked out one really happy camper! Definitely worth a try if you haven't already! This place is mainly a bakery that offers sandwiches and a few other goodies during the week, but for a mind blowing brunch you will probably never forget: give this place a shot!!
2. Le Passé composé on Roy E.
I've been there a few times and tried a few different items, none of them leaving me disappointed.
Their omelettes, while leaving a bit to be desired on presentation (colour) have great strong flavours! And come with well seasoned potatoes and fruit you actually want to eat!
Their elaborate eggs Benedict selection takes you on the most confusion and friustracting decision making journey of your life! With mind blowing favor combinations that leave you starring at the page so long you start questioning your ability to read!
The eggs Benedict left me dreaming and talking about it for a few days I must say! With a sauce I can't even explain and a beautiful peice of seared foie gras right on top of a perfectly poached egg! Please try this if you want to experience a foodgasm!
And finally what they called a BLT, is nothing like you could imagine (sorry for the blurry pictures) artisinal bacon atop a home made brioche and again topped with a beautifully over sized fried panko breaded half globe of mozzarella, all this surronded by a pesto dressed frisée and cherry tomato salad. Mind blown.
3. Régine Café on Beaubien E.
And last but not least, the more commonly known but thankfully not over rated (in my opinion) Régine! I must admit I do try to avoid this place simply because of the annoyingly constant lineup! But if it wasn't worth it I would never do it! My most recent order was a delicious croissant breakfast sandwich that came with a generous amount of pesto bechamel sauce on the side... Donna loves extra sauce! And a side of well seasoned scoop of mashed potatoes... Donna loves well seasoned potatoes! ;)
Their smoothies and coffee also hit the spot pretty hard!
That's if for now. More reviews coming your way soon! :)
