H4C par Dany Bolduc - Montréal

Sunday brunch is a set for everyone. So be cautious if you have allergy or vegan. $120+ for two, a bit pricey without mimosa but only regular coffee and a juice choice. The juice is semi fresh when we got there around 1230, being kept in the jar since maybe morning before 10am. I don’t see any table could finish all the food choices. So I got a doggy bag. They replaced my half toast with a new one. I liked it very much. It tastes like donuts ? but it’s not the same. All the bakery is classy but the brownish is the best. Expecting something more on the third dish, chocolate maybe?

Very fine cuisine with quality ingredients but above all what separates them is the level of research and experimentation to come up with surprising and complex but delicious combinations. You can see and taste the kitchen staff craftsmanship ? Service, especially with the wine selection, was great. An expensive dinner experience but you get one of a kind. Perfect location and cozy decor. They also have affordable brunch on Saturdays.

This is not a review of the restaurant but rather a Zoom cooking class with four couples that turned a birthday (mine into a fun, delicious learning experience. At a time when restaurants have had to U turn, Dany, Jonathan and the gang are thinking outside the box or rather, inside it. We picked up baskets of food in the morning, pre measured, some of it pre cooked, and several bottles of wine, and had a hands on, restaurant quality dinner. Dany directed and patiently answered question in both French and English, and Jonathan was behind the camera. Try it! It is the perfect marriage of delicious things you (OK, I would never try at home (a reduction of Bolognese sauce, anyone? along with new skill sets and a sense of accomplishment.

I have heard about Le H4C for a while and again, they were on my list of restos to try (honestly, i think eating is all I think about) Then they closed! And then they opened again and I wasn't gonna let them slip this time. We decided we'd make the brunch crowd. As they have a fix menu price for brunch, it makes it all the easier if you have a hannover: no choosing needed. The place is literally steps from St-Henri metro. Blink and you'll walk right by it. Very modern and sleek in style but still warm welcoming. The staff was nice, though seemed a little bit serious. We were thoroughly explained the menu and certain food restriction was taken into account. The food was a sharing menu. We had 2 courses, 1st being the bread and second being the proteins. There was donuts, brioche, mini pancakes, crumpets, I even got gluten free bread upon request! These were accompanied by sweet savory spreads: pâté, hazelnut chocolate, orange purée, avocado purée, cheeses and things. The second course came with an omelette, some fish balls, 2 (very small) ravioli with salad. Everything was great but I thought that the protein portion was rather small for 50$ person. Everything you see in the picture was for 4 people total It was a nice experience but they should maybe reduce the 1st course and add more to the 2nd. I think if I come back, it'd be for the dinner but I'll pass the brunch.

Probably one of the nicest and most creative spots in Montreal! The cruise according to the staff, is Nordic with Japanese influences. Dany Bolduc went to Japan for 3 months in order to get inspired and build the menu. Went for a special new year's day brunch, after a long while in which I wanted to go there. Upon arrival, the waiting staff was very welcoming, and gave us a stylish box to put our belongings so it won't be in the way and served hot towels. Since the service included a set menu, there was only one choice for the main course, in which we took the squash, filled with cheese sauce, buratta, egg and baked with all goods. That was probably one of the best dishes I had for breakfast. But before we go there, we had a full first service including creative home made bread, jams and spreads, chicken liver mousse, mini pancakes, orange infused yogurt and granola. Needless to say that everything is home made and you feel it in every bite. The staff was open to give us more bread when requested or anything else. Coffee was also delicious, although they only had oat milk. The toilets were also impeccable, including feminine products and toothpicks.
