August 16, 2010 – Nights in Montréal last late and long, and a favourite post-party pick-me-up is brunch, savoured in restaurants that run the gamut from chic to exotic to comforting.
For a British touch, try the The Sparrowin Mile End, where you can feast your eyes on its embossed copper ceiling panels, then on its royalty-worthy menu: eggs fried or Benedict, artisanal bacon, potato and cabbage bubble and squeak, blood sausage… never banal, and always comforting. Try their choco-banana fried doughnuts and then dream of them until next time.
Downtown’s dynamicChez Cora is known for its copious breakfasts with fruit stacked high, stuffed into crêpes, squeezed into juice or jazzing up desserts. With its diverse menu, Cora knows how to satisfy all sizes of appetites, from the smallest to the biggest.
La Fabrique on the Plateau offers a compelling mix of daring and traditional, as intrigued patrons can watch chefs in action in the kitchen, situated at the restaurant centre. Poached eggs with beef tartar sound tempting? Classic crêpes, delicious café au lait or freshly squeezed grapefruit mimosas are some of the many menu selections.
The suave Otto, tucked away in Old Montréal at the heart of the chic Quartier international, never fails to dazzle the discerning diner. With its red retro décor, laid-back ambiance and soft day lighting, Otto offers an innovative and refined cuisine infused with the exotic that will thrill your taste buds.
In Montréal, the art of relaxing happens around the many warm and welcoming tables on a Sunday morning. Happy brunching!
