Marché De La Villette - Montréal

We were in Montreal for 3 days and decided to check out this brunch location in Old Montreal. We ordered the chef's brunch special, the cheese plate, an omelette, coffee, latte and 2 glasses of milk for the kids (ages 3 and 6). The food was well presented, a bit greasy but otherwise tasted okay. The kids did not like anything we put on their plate (we had to buy them a second meal elsewhere). I have no problems paying $75 for brunch if it wasn't for the terrible service. The waitress with the tattoo around her arm was annoyed that we spoke English instead of French. There was water brought to every table but ours. No one come by to refill our coffee. With so many great places to eat and try in Old Montreal... this one was a huge disappointment. My 3-year old gave this place a thumbs-down. I couldn't agree more.

We went here for breakfast a couple weeks ago. We started out as the first people to arrive and suddenly it was packed. Many tours stopped here and there was only one waiter working the floor and he seemed a bit overwhelmed. I ordered the western on a croissant and it was very good. My mother ordered the croissant with chocolate and she said it was very good as well. I'm happy we tried this place and I would return if I was ever in Montreal again.

This restaurant resembles what you would find in Montmartre. The products, especially the charcuterie, are very good. Worth discovering.

I enjoyed the ambiance, the food, and the atmosphere. I highly recommend trying the mimosas and hot chocolate.

I love charcuterie. Saw this place while walking in old Montréal and thought why not give it a try. GF ordered the chef's selection platter and I ordered the Assiette de la Villette - the charcuterie platter. GF's quiche and roasted potatoes were both very good. My charcuterie plate was hit and miss. The prosciutto was very good, as was the patty. However, the rest of my "assorted charcuterie" consisted of a few different salami's bought from a grocery store. Not the type of specialty stuff you would expect on your plate at a place claiming to be a charcuterie. Some of the décor was excellent and very "old tyme". But they also had plastic legs of ham hanging from various places in the ceiling. This should have been a clue. Tourist trap. I won't be back.
