Brunch in the West is often challenging. Yes, there are lots of brunch spots west of Decarie but I often find that they have similar menus and aren’t really creative in terms of what they make. Having gone to hundreds of different brunch spots, I get tired of the usual bacon and eggs so when our brunch brought us out west, I had to look around and find something a little different.

Mount Royal street is a veritable Mecca of places to have brunch in Montreal. You only need to walk down a few buildings until you find a place. When we heard that la grenouille was making waves with it’s brunch we got curious and went to check it out. (more…)

Cardinal tea room is a newcomer to the scene. Connected to Sparrow, which has been serving brunch for a few years now, this 2 floor old-style gem has that laid back feel with ample natural lighting and a more relaxed ambiance for brunching. Cardinal tea room has that British imperial style to it and, nothing says England like tea and cookies. The interior has two lovely floors flooded with natural light, bookshelves, a piano, a chalkboard, a steamer trunk and all those old style items that really make for quite the experience.

Le 411 Café Sardine est un endroit où je suis allé souper à quelques reprises. J’ai toujours aimé leur menu et surtout le décor. Leur menu pour le service du souper est de style tapas avec d’autres combinaisons intéressantes. C’est le genre d’endroit que je me demandais comment serait leur brunch.

A while ago, H4C opened up in Montreal and we were fortunate enough to try out their dinner. We enjoyed dinner there, and when we heard that they would be rolling out brunch we were excited. This part of St Henri has been changing over the last couple years with new restaurants and condos popping up here and there. This takes a normally working class area and changes the landscape. I don’t particularly feel like re-living my university day discussions about gentrification so I will avoid the social commentary and get the point that there is a new good brunch spot in the area that makes some really creative dishes that you would normally see in the Plateau or Mile End.

Over on St Denis is Festin de Babette, a place that when you step into, you get transported to Paris. With items that have that oh-so-French look and feel, you think you are no longer in Montreal. (more…)

Ah, la fin de semaine… Le seul moment où l’on peut s’assoir avec nos amis et discuter de la semaine, et des aventures (ou gaffes!) de la nuit précédente. Il n’y a pas de meilleure façon de le faire qu’autour d’un bon repas. Mais que faire lorsqu’on a soif? Je ne parle pas de l’envie de boire du café, mais bien de la bonne vieille soif d’alcool.

Votre soif, comme les limites de certaines personnes, ne connaît pas de frontières. Vous pourriez boire un mimosa, un bloody Caesar, n’importe quoi, mais pas un café ne fait pas l’affaire. Heureusement, la plupart des places à Montréal offrent désormais cette potion magique tant adulée. Mais à peine avez-vous commandé deux mimosas que le montant de votre facture grimpe au plafond. Ne serait-ce pas génial d’avoir une option de boissons à volonté qui vous permettrait, à vous et vos amis, de déjeuner en paix et sans manquer d’alcool?

Ne vous inquiétez pas, nous avons mis nos foies à l’épreuve pour vous préparer l’ultime liste de brunchs montréalais avec option de boissons à volonté. Alors, tenez-vous prêts; vos matins seront beaucoup plus amusants une fois que vous aurez lu cette liste. (more…)

Ah, the weekend brunch, the only time when you can sit down with friends and discuss what’s been going on during the week and the previous nights’ adventures/bad decisions. What better way to do this than over a good meal and chat/gossip. But what if you’re thirsty? And I don’t mean the “I need some coffee” thirsty, we’re talking about the” I need some booze” thirsty.

Your thirst, much like some people’s boundaries, knows no limits. You could get a mimosa, a bloody Caesar, you don’t know what, but you definitely want something and coffee isn’t cutting it this morning. Fortunately most places in Montreal have you covered with some of that beloved liquid nutrition. But have more than one mimosa and your booze bill climbs well past your food bill. Wouldn’t it be great if there was an all you can drink option so you can your friends can enjoy a booze filled brunch?

Well don’t worry, we have you covered, in fact, we put our livers up to the test and have the definitive all you can drink Montreal brunch list. So sit back and enjoy because your weekends are gonna start getting a whole lot more fun in the morning. (more…)
