We waited 20 ish minutes on a Saturday to get in since they don’t take reservations. The wait went by super fast and was worth every minute. From the drink to the food, everything was a hit! The staff were polite and on top of it and the food was delicious. They even gave us a free juice shot which was so yummy! Only constructive criticism I could give is I wished my main dish was hotter in temperature since it was lukewarm. Would be going back and I would recommend it to everyone! The s’mores latte was incredible! I rarely finish my drinks but I did this time. You should try it at least once!

Welcome drink Since the dining area is small so there must be a queue outside but it is worth. Beautiful decoration excellent service. They come with a welcome drink, lovely! 👍 🔹Le petit plateau ~ love their sauce but the scone is a bit hard 🔹Vanilla hot white chocolate ~ a bit too sweet 🔹Banana french toast ~ dish decorate is great 🔹Today Special goose ~ just so so 🔹Fried chicken sandwich ~ Taste good but not the outlook 🔹Mushroom toast with a scotch egg ~ the toast is too hard, mushroom taste great. Scotch egg is an art.

Spectacular place for brunch! Janine offers ample seating (although it gets busy rather quickly). Service is very fast and friendly. Food tastes absolutely amazing - and we had different meals, such as the oeuf & boeuf, the gruau (oatmeal), the champi (raclette cheese toast with sautéed mushrooms). The capuccino and the matcha latte were delicious too.

The “latkes” were excellent — perfectly crispy on the outside, and as you keep eating, the subtle sweetness of the yellow beets comes through beautifully with the potatoes. The toppings were very well balanced: crunchy pickled onions, a softly cooked egg, and a small slice of tender smoked salmon. Great texture, lots of layers, and very satisfying without feeling heavy. L’Oeuf Écossais was beautifully done. The soft-boiled egg was cooked perfectly, with a rich, creamy yolk. The outer layer was crispy but not greasy, with a very satisfying, substantial bite. Great contrast of textures and a simple dish executed really well.

We went for brunch with friends since my partner found out that Janine and Régine have the same menu. The food quality is consistent between the 2 places, and we were all happy with what we ordered. The was a bit of a wait, but as crazy as Régine Café on Beaubien. We did not have to line up since our friends got there before us and they got a table. The service is excellent even though the restaurant was full. The food tasted great with an on point temperature. I totally enjoyed my grilled cheese with the scotch egg - a must try house specialty! We will definitely go back as there are many items we would like to try.
