I sat down in Arts Cafe. Soon to be joined by four friends, equally weary from the night before - a veritable gin-joint dance up - an underground bunker blitzed with dub step, falling beer bottles, skin painting, homemade shooters, tequila explosions, girlish indiscretions, body shots from back dimples, hazy narcotic smoke and the like. It was like a modern day poem by Joseph Moncure March.

I perused the menu and ordered. A variation on a classic eggs benedict - with ham, emmenthal cheese and a bechamel sauce.

Move over ladies who lunch, we are the gents that brunch! Charming and eclectic, Griffintown Café (1378 rue Notre Dame West) is a place well worth traveling for. Located in the historic district of Griffintown (hence the name), this little café serves up home-cooked meals that are fresh, tasty, and low key: think hearty-chic.

The food is served in a simple, home-style manner that mirrors the general genre of this restaurant. It’s the kind of place you could show up hungover from the night before and scoff down some Brioche French toast or wear an uber-prep outfit and enjoy a Tom Collins with your Eggs Benedict.

Brunch-fare is what you would expect, with some interesting twists. Eggs florentine can be served with Goat Cheese (photographed above) and this is one of the few places in Montreal you can find peameal bacon to go with most of the dishes (photographed below - Canadian Breakfast).

Low-brow, urban, delicious. A place where a guy can be a guy and enjoy great food, great times and relax while doing so.

That’s all … AE

Headed to the Drake Diner today for brunch. Only a 10 min wait.

I ordered the Everything Skillet. That’s potatoes, cheese, green peppers, onions, tomatoes, sausage, & ham with two eggs on top and toast. It was just as I imagined it would be. The menu said it was Iowa sausage, I didn’t ask for details but it was tasty. The wheat toast went well with blackberry and strawberry jams.

Matt ordered the Santa Fe Grits. Neither of us were a huge fan. Too dry and had to add hot sauce to make it taste better.

The place had a large patio that I bet would be fun in the summer and that “diner” feel: neon lights, booths, peppy waiters.

Shake=great  Skillet=good  Grits=bad

The menu has some promising items to improve the rating, but for now it is 5 out of 10.  www.thedrakediner.com/

Ce petit café de style européen, propose de supers brunchs les fins de semaine dans le quartier d’Outremont. Petit mais confortable, vous pourrez profiter d’un bon moment entre amis (avec les meilleurs, parce qu’il n’y a pas tant de place que ça…) autour d’un de leurs plats si appréciés des habitués et des artistes. La déco est très agréable et tout est fait pour y passer un bon moment! Alors, même si c’est un peu loin des rdv-brunch habituels, je vous le conseille fortement :)
