Le Cartet is know for their amazing weekend brunches! Mimosas are definitely a must! They also have breakfast and lunch services. Many business professionals will work here during the day - you will often see people eating or drinking a latte while on their laptops. While the wait can be a bit long on weekends it is definitely worth the wait.

Most definitely my all time favorite spot to dine in Montreal. The menu changes weekly and the service is incredible. A great place for anyone with allergies or special dietary restrictions. The foie gras peanut butter and jelly sandwich at Le Fantome is one of the best dishes I have had yet.
