Best Cafés in South Shore

This was a fantastic experience. We ordered the 2 course special for lunch. Tried the escargot, French onion soup, steak and mussels. The serving size was generous and the food was AMAZING. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting the downtown Montreal area.

If you're looking for the perfect spot for brunch with friends, this place is a must-visit! I tried shakshuka for the first time, and it was absolutely delicious—rich, hearty, and perfectly spiced. The warm, flavorful bread was the ideal pairing. But the real highlight was the café de olla—sweet, aromatic, and infused with cinnamon, making every sip a treat. The cozy ambiance and great service made the experience even better. I'll definitely be coming back!

We had a great time at the cake decorating workshop :)

It’ our fourth time eating at the restaurant and we always appreciate the food quality and its presentation.
