The verdict

Go for the room, not a destination meal. Order the dulce de leche latte, look up, and stay for a laptop hour or a late brunch. Check before you commit: hours are murky and it sometimes shuts for private events.

Brunch daily 9am-3pm per official site

Why maybeStunning space and a handy Old Montréal stop, but café hours and Thanksgiving Monday are unconfirmed and events can close it.

How much we'll spend

$$$$

Official menu prices not accessible (ordering page did not render). Tastet rates it $$; coffee plus a pastry or bagel is likely under $25 but unconfirmed.

Our estimate from posted prices, CAD, before tax and tip. Québec purchases carry the 5% federal GST plus the 9.975% Québec Sales Tax (QST, TVQ in French): 14.975% combined on taxable items. Tourisme Montréal: it is customary to tip restaurant servers, taxi drivers and hairdressers 15% of the bill, before taxes. Bellhops, porters and doormen generally get at least $2 per bag or service; coffee and food counters often have a tip cup by the register.
