Went here for a brunch during holiday. I initially booked via OpenTable but we didn’t arrive on time. Nonetheless, staff are welcoming and accommodating. We were seated in less than 5 minutes, our server was so kind to show us the food they have prepared. The unlimited breakfast buffet has a lot of options. Eggs were a bit soggy but maybe it’s different from my taste— still a good one! The smoothie shots are a must try! Paid parking in front, clean restroom. It’s full when we got there but it’s not the kind of noisy and rowdy buffet place. Everyone is just enjoying the ambiance. Restrooms are nice and clean. Location wise: near CNE Tower (which we went to after). There were six of us and we shared $38 each including tip. All-in-all: 10/10. Will definitely be back.

Attached to the Novotel, absolutely perfect for informal dining and grabbing something nice to eat. They even serve gluten free dishes, which pleased my wife.

The breakfast buffet and a la carte prices are both fairly reasonable. The one thing that could use improvement is the coffee. It was weak and not at the quality I would expect.

We went there for Mother's Day Brunch and we were highly disappointed. The selection and quality of the food in the buffet were sub-par. There were many items missing that one would expect in a brunch of $40 each including basics like pancakes, waffles, bagels, omelets, etc. The only saving grace were the absolutely wonderful staff who really tried to please with what they were given to work with.

A lovely brunch spot near St Lawrence Market. Good food, a cozy atmosphere and fantastic service. We came for a Mother's Day brunch and my mom enjoyed herself. The pasta station was a great treat.
