A true “French” experience (and not in a good way), inattentive waitresses who barely come to your table. The chairs were also unclean, with hair on them. Our waitress even spilled water on the table and never came back to clean it; we waited a good 10 minutes before asking another waiter to take care of it. The food was good, but not worth the price definitely. It also took more than 30 minutes for our food to arrive. They used to be located in the another part pf Old Port about four years ago, and it was genuinely amazing back then. Now, it feels like they’re just carrying the name.

Nice restaurant with good food. The service was a bit slow, but it’s understandable since they were busy. If you’re not in a rush and want to enjoy time chatting with friends, it’s a great spot. The menu is a bit limited though, so it’s worth checking it beforehand.

I really enjoyed my brunch there; everything was excellent from the food to the service. You can tell there’s real attention to detail in every plate, fresh ingredients, beautiful presentation, and flavors that stand out without being overdone. Eggs Benedict were perfectly executed, and the bone marrow was rich, bold, and definitely a highlight. The atmosphere is cozy yet refined, and the service is attentive and knowledgeable, which really completes the experience

Food was good but there are definitely other places that offer better value for what you are paying... Great location and atmosphere but not sure I would come back for a 1 item $50 breakfast/brunch with coffee.

I tried two items out of their brunch menu + two smoothies, the Rustic & the French Toast + Strawberry & Dubia Royal smoothies. If you like mushrooms, you would absolutely love the Rustic, it was very delicious and well-made dish, I enjoyed it a lot! On the other hand, however, the French Toast was the worst I've ever had in my entire life, and I'm a person who loves French Toast! Nevertheless, this was so poorly done that I couldn't even finish one of the breads out of the two, it was fried with something like bread crumbs on top, it was too greasy, and had an awful texture. Regarding the smoothies, the Strawberry one was very delicious, but I wasn't a big fan of their Dubai Royal. As for their service, both times they brought my smoothie almost at the end of my meal. When I requested to take the rest with me, they brought me the to-go glass on the table to do it myself!! This is not a service one would expect to receive in a restaurant on this level and with this vibe.

We experienced a long wait time of over 30 minutes for our food, which impacted the overall experience. Although the portions are generous, they come at a high price point. Offering smaller portion sizes could be a great way to reduce both costs and food waste.

The men is well thought off and different. The presentation was gorgeous but one porched egg Benedict (even if duck) & other options (smoked salmon, roast beef…) at $34 is a little steep in my opinion. Our serveur was very nice and answered all my questions. The food was ok and this review is based on price point especially for the savoury part of the menu are questionable. The waffles were good and the presentation was pretty. The decor is gorgeous and modern. Great spot in the old port.

I went to the new Mont-Royal location; had never been to the original one. I ordered the Moelle & canard an it was ok to me, even slightly underwhelming for the price. My food arrived cold and one of my friend’s too. The smoothie shot I had was the litchi one and I liked it. My friend who has been to the original location was also disappointed about her matcha martini, which was not the same as the other location. I loved the atmosphere, it’s very beautiful inside and the staff is nice. I will try the original location next.

Hi Paquita, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us — we truly appreciate it. We’re really happy to hear that you enjoyed the atmosphere, as well as the service, and that the litchi smoothie shot was a highlight for you. That said, we’re sincerely sorry to hear that your experience with the food didn’t meet expectations. Receiving dishes that are not served at the right temperature is definitely not the standard we aim for, and we completely understand how disappointing that can be. The same goes for your friend’s matcha martini — consistency between our locations is very important to us, and your comment will be shared with our team. Your feedback is very valuable as we continue to refine and improve the experience at our Mont-Royal location. We do hope you’ll give us another chance — whether with us again or at our original location — and that we’ll be able to offer you a much better experience next time. Thank you again for your honesty, Le Passé Composé Team

Very beautiful location with really nice service. However, the last two times I have been, I was disappointed in the food. Both times I ordered something different, but I find that the food is quite greasy and heavy and difficult to enjoy after more than few bites. My friends and I also had difficulty finishing our food without feeling way too full.

Drove 4.5 hours for their French brunch—very disappointing experience. Despite arriving early with available seating, we were told to sit at the bar. Food was just okay; foie gras was overly sauced. Service was the main issue. My cappuccino was mostly foam, and the replacement was still charged on the bill. Had to wait for a manager who never showed up until much later, and even then, nothing was resolved—just called it a “miscommunication.” Overall, poor service and not worth the trip. Would not recommend.

Chic and busy restaurant. Tight seatings, which is typical of most restaurants in Old Montreal. Our server speaks little English so when we asked for recommendations, we were steered towards the most expensive items on the menu. Food was okay; portions weren't big, but we couldn't finish the heavy, greasy and overly rich foods on our plates.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, Linen! 🥐✨ We’re sorry to hear that certain aspects of your visit didn’t fully meet your expectations.

If ever you intend to give us another shot, you could always specify in your note reservation for that type of seating.Our team always make sure that all notes are considered. Your comments regarding communication and menu guidance are taken seriously. Our goal is always to offer genuine recommendations based on guests’ preferences — not price — and we regret if this wasn’t how it came across. We also appreciate your honest notes on the food and portions. Your feedback helps us refine both our service approach and guest experience. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again and provide a more seamless, enjoyable visit. Le Passé Composé Team

While the restaurant was half empty, the service was extremely slow and appetizers arrived after the mains, which were cold. The food was good but the staff can’t keep up with demand even when half empty restaurant

I can’t even rate the other aspects of this restaurant since I couldn’t even go. We had a reservation and they advanced one hour early the day of. They told us to contact them but they are unresponsive on their phone number. Truly dissatisfied with the miscommunication and customer service.
