Passé Composé is definitely a name that I've heard before so it definitwly piqued my interest so it intrigued me to walk in during my stroll on Mont Royal on the weekend. The place was quite packed; to be expected on Easter weekend, but the staff was very nice and found a table for us. We ordered the french toast and the bagel sandwich. The decor was great, very à jour and spacious and inviting, however I cannot say the same for the food. The french toast was a disaster. The bread was lackluster: it was very oily and soggy. Drenched in grease, you can barely taste anything, but oil and batter. The strawberries were sliced with their stems still on, leaving leaves on my plate which was, not a pretty sight to see. It was also a very very heavy dish for french toasts. As for the bagel, there was something off putting about the taste. The bagel was a wonderful sight to see as my choice was made quickly after seeing the lady next to me order it... but the taste was quite dissapointing. You do get the portion of food for your buck, but the taste was quite bland. The spread lacks a kick, and the fried avocado is "okay". The fried Jalapeño that came with it was kind of odd and didn't really fit with the dish as well as the slice of lime. The presentation is spectacular, but the dish was lacking flavor and cohesion overall.

Hi Andy,
Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed review — we truly appreciate it.
We’re really glad to hear that our team was able to welcome you despite the busy Easter weekend, and that you enjoyed the atmosphere and decor of the space.
We’re genuinely sorry, however, that the food didn’t meet your expectations. Your comments about the French toast and the bagel sandwich are taken seriously — from the texture and balance of flavors to the presentation details you mentioned. This is not the experience we aim to deliver, and your feedback is very helpful for our team as we continue to refine and improve our dishes.
We hope you might consider giving us another try in the future. We’d love the opportunity to offer you a much better experience — one that reflects the quality we strive for every day.
Thank you again for your honesty,
Le Passé Composé Team

They're killing it at this location too. Tables could have been a little larger, but only because we went all out and ordered a plethora of items. This time, we tried the rustic poached eggs and Croque monsieur, with the essential slice of French toast. We both had delicious espresso-based drinks. The location is well decorated and a pleasing place to go for a date. Not loud, good daytime spot.

Sounds like you truly made the most of the menu (the best way to do it 😉). We appreciate the note on table size and will keep it in mind.
Looking forward to welcoming you back for another delicious date spot moment ✨

They don’t have brioche foie gras double portion option which I always take in the old port :(((

We no longer have the brioche foie gras double portion on the menu at either location, but you can still order it off-menu,
just ask your waiter.
Don’t you think that a one-star rating is a tad exaggerated!?
Bad service, bad food. A shade of what passe composé used to be.

We had just opened the same week you visited, so things were still settling in—give us a chance to show you what we can really do! Considering it’s the same sous-chef from the original Passé Composé still crafting the menu, calling it “bad service, bad food” might be a tad exaggerated, don’t you think?
