Boulangerie La Parisienne Cafe Terrasse

My third time in Montreal My girlfriend brought me here for a morning breakfast She ordered for me a CAFÉ au lait,a fumé saumon sandwich.

BEST Omelette I've had in yearsI tried several of the different omelettes over a few daysAll were superb.

This restaurant was once a great spot to grab a sandwich or dessert with coffee while shopping at the Tanger outlets. However, it seems to have gone downhill. With new owners, the pastries and sandwiches are now very disappointing. The delicious quiches they used to serve are no longer available. The server seemed embarrassed by the poor quality of the croissant sandwich she gave us, though she did offer the coffee we had ordered. Ultimately, it's best to avoid this place.

While the latte my husband ordered was satisfactory, the regular coffee I had contained an unpleasant amount of ground coffee at the bottom of the cup. Our daughter did not enjoy the éclair she selected, making it the first dessert she has ever refused to eat. My Napoleon Millefeuille was disappointingly frozen and unappetizing, leading me to discard most of it after just two bites. Overall, it was a letdown. It appears that this cafe may prioritize transient customers over establishing a loyal clientele, as evidenced by the lack of attention to service quality.

Friday evening when we were there, our server was run off her feet as they were noticeably understaffed. Expensive small portions were in order. Things had speeded up Saturday when we returned.
