If you ever find yourself on the streets of Old Montréal wondering what’s causing a long line of locals and tourists to snake up the street, this café from Dyan Solomon and Eric Girard is the reason. They have been serving insatiable crowds their breakfast, brunch and lunch offerings for more than 20 years. Time and again, folks make return trips for as many choice cups of coffee and hot-out-of-the-oven pastries in the morning as they will for gooey paninis, the savory sandwich Le Cubain and refreshing salads in the afternoon. No matter the time of day, it all comes with highly satisfying results.
