915 Bd du Séminaire N, Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, QC J3A 1B6, Canada
The service and food were outstanding, 4 adults and 2 children under 4.
It's a standard diner experience. The food is decent—neither exceptional nor disappointing. The staff is friendly.
Worst Egg Benedict I've had in awhile. The ham was cold under the eggs and the interior side of the english muffin was not toasted, as if they just toasted the bread whole before cutting it. Terrible.
I like this place because it's independent. So many other places like Eggsquis or Allô Mon Coco taste the same. This place is renowned for their breakfast potatoes. They're slightly sweet, crispy on the outside, and pillowy soft inside. Compared to other places, they are much less expensive. They also have both French crepes and American pancakes...with a twist. Like Nic-Pic, their pancakes are wonderfully chewy rather than fluffy...if you like that sort of thing. I like that they offer an alternative to regular pancakes.
If I could give zero stars I would. One plate had hair in it. The other was a waffle made with the same stuff for my crepe so my crepe was too think and waffle HD nothing in it. My crepe Had half a slice of hm cut in too with 2 asparagus cut in 4 cold and had no sauce. Waitress couldn’t be bothered to come see us. Over no one ate and we paid for jo food no service
Ordered eggs benedict with swiss cheese and asparagus. It was terrible. Served quickly but it was cold. The hollandaise sauce was not hollandaise sauce. It was something else and it was terrible. The potatoes were good. The fruit was not in good condition. Coffee was very week. The waitress was great.
Best place around for breakfast at reasonable prices. I recommend the eggs Benedict, their sausages are excellent also. Fast, friendly service, ample seating and they always have tasty and interesting daily specials. Expect to wait a little during peak hours(weekends are very busy) and know that they are only open for breakfast anf lunch.
This place was great! Me and my husband brought my parents here for Brunch. The food came very quick and tasted fresh and had great flavour. My son loved their waffles. Our server spoke English with us and was very friendly. Would recommend for sure!
GOOD
Super disappointing. The tables are so close together that we have the impression of having lunch with our neighbors. I asked for less potatoes and more fruit. I actually had fewer potatoes, but when I saw my friends plate, I noticed that I only had a very thin slice of kiwi more than her. She was kind to give me her slice of watermelon. I asked the waitress who was embarrassed to tell me that the kitchen told her that it was more fruit. Our table neighbors were laughing about it, they heard everything... their table was almost glued to ours. Finally, our toast was soaked in butter. We still managed to remove the excess with a knife and a napkin, but the butter had still melted a lot. Anyway, I was embarrassed to have suggested this place. P.S. see the photo with the slice of kiwi as well as the soaked napkin and the other photo with the too generous quantity of butter.
I love going to this place for lunch, the food is excellent, the service is fast and the prices are reasonable, I recommend it without hesitation!
Very good lunch
Excellent main course menu, what can I say about the really good service, good value for money. There should be one in the Laurentians, Tremblant style.
Excellent service, the sausages and the small potatoes really good. The staff is smiling and the place is calm and pleasant.
Very affordable lunch potato price to die for!! But stacking one on top of the other is very unpleasant
What a shame to see that since the change of ownership, the food has changed so much. We are long time customers and frequent this place regularly. Unfortunately, our latest experiences have convinced us to no longer eat at this restaurant. The potatoes, so good before, are almost no longer seasoned. We look for shallots and if we ask for extra, they charge us 1.95! For a big bowl (much too big and too expensive) of raw shallots! The cooking of the eggs leaves something to be desired. Often our food was served not hot enough. We even had pea soup with cumin! It is a typically Quebecois dish which, in our opinion, cannot be distorted in this way. We also went there as a family. There were 14 of us. The service was worthy of an alley canteen! When the meal was served, 3 waitresses were around us giving us our plates but they were shouting the names of the dishes all at the same time so it was incredibly cacophonous. No class. Especially since there were 3 hearing impaired people in the group. In short, 25 years ago, it was our favorite restaurant and today, after multiple attempts, we will never go back there.
It sucked, the food was cold and bland. Margarine on toast... The hospital does better.
Warm and fast service, a good portion on the plate and great prices! Kid-friendliness: Meals for little ones and high chairs available.
Parking: Non Food
Excellent lunch place
I went there years ago and we were pleasantly surprised! Clean restaurant, reasonable prices, delicious lunch, I took a photo of my plate and the menu. 2 scrambled eggs, bacon, hash browns, fruit, toasted bread and coffee for $9.99
All the food received was cold and the coffee was not very good! I do not recommend... On a positive note, we were well served.
Hello, we are going to have lunch at this place There were four of us (two adults - two children). This restaurant does not have table syrup, so for us who were eating pancakes, it was our surprise to be served maple syrup in a small dish we paid for $4.99. Between you and me, is it normal to be fooled like that. So, dear future customers, bring your own can of maple syrup because at $4.99 its not far from the price of a can. And what to say about Madame Lyne who we nickname the so-called manager No way to chat with her
good food service very good
Very good lunch and very good service every time
Very good lunch restaurant! Classic and affordable menu with very fast service. Distressed look that adds to the charm and experience. It is an honest and unpretentious restaurant.
Impeccable service, extra good food.
Perfect little spot off the highway to get breakfast
Good price and large selection on the menu. Breakfast potatoes are excellent!
The meal is cold and the eggs benedict are served with slices of single craft cheese
Excellent service!!! Excellent food!!! Efficient service!!! We left a welcoming zero competitor...and we have no regrets. Karine, Sylvie and their Manager (Im sorry, I didnt see your name) took care of us (gang of 27 - hockey team on the high of victory) like champions. Dont give up girls
I had a great time, had great service and enjoyed myself!!!
Excellent lunch and quick service
Only positive
Very good with excellent service I recommend it to everyone and my daughter also recommends it too
Really cheap for the plate just $13 and unlimited coffee
Good service and very good
The food is good, the prices are good but in terms of services it leaves something to be desired really a shame :/
Super good lunch. The breakfast potatoes are the best in Saint-Jean! Friendly and fast service.
Excellent service Good food but especially their succulent breakfast potatoes!!!
Poor service. Coming from our waitress as if she was judging us. She forced me to pay 15% despite the unprofessional service
Poor service from my waitress as if she was judging us, lack of professionalism
Arrogant waitress, really didnt try to be there this morning and made us feel it, 15 minutes before taking our order despite the restaurant being almost empty, she was drinking coffee while staring at us. First and last time, not even bacon on a supposed brunch plate so their household bread is crusty bread, plus she forces us to give 15% despite real poor service
Super good and good service
Very good club sandwich
I like your meals but today January 4, 23, I slipped into your hallway carpet and fell and hurt my knees and customers came to help me but no member of your staff. Please tap at least the edges of the carpet to avoid another incident,
Very kind staff!
Everything was delicious
Always quite busy when Ive been there but the service is very quick and the food is good. The premises need to be improved.
Very good lunch, very poor service
Always good and the service is very friendly.
Good food and a lot of customer all day
Courteous, fast service, fairly full plate
The reputation is well established. It is one of the jewels of St-Jean. The customers have been loyal there for years and the waitresses are not idle.
Very fast service
It was good
I recommend
Affordable price
First experience for me during a visit to St-Jean. The photo looked better than the taste as such for the dish I ordered which was still bland and disappointing (Benedictine with onion rings). But, Im ready to try again next time.
Fast and very good service 3 day affiliate
Good welcome.. we didnt wait too long.. give the orders and be served quite quickly.. I took the spinach cheese crepe.. its usually my restaurant lunch.. it was good but passable.. THANKS
Very good service Parking: Alright
My very disappointing lunch crepe which looked cooked in very little strawberry oil an unappetizing lunch I was visiting St Jean sur Richelieu for me my last stay at this restaurant Long live the Cora restaurant
Here you will find the best breakfast potatoes I have ever eaten, I recommend them! If you come during the week, there is usually no wait. The parking lot isnt very big though. Parking: Few parking spaces. Wheelchair accessibility: The business is accessible for people in wheelchairs.
Very expensive for eggs but good!!!
Nice place for lunch, simple and the dishes taste the same since the restaurant opened. Breakfast potatoes are always just as tasty! Very good table service and meals served quickly.
I have lunch every Friday. Very good service, varied choice, good taste and very good value for money.
Very tasty bread and excellent service
Parking: Devant et derrière Kid-friendliness: Menu enfant disponible Wheelchair accessibility: Par devant uniquement
Best lunch restaurant in St Jean
Lots of noise, no benches, the plates are small if you have a good appetite, I had to eat dinner a little later which never happens after lunch at a restaurant usually.... Our waitress was overwhelmed so we helped her as much as we could.
I havent been there in a while! I wont go back unless I have to! I loved everything before, now the plates of eggs remain the best, the quantity of before but less. Yellow coloring in pancake and waffle batter!! But why?? It just feels chemical and not real. There is no added value in doing that! It was definitely better before!! The bakers plate with mini brioches with creaming on top!! Much too sweet compared to the recipe before!! Too many more or less relevant changes. Its only the potatoes that have kept their unique taste! Its the best in St-Jean-sur-Richelieu.
The best potatoes in the world. Forget everything else and go there for the low prices and the potatoes. Parking: Free parking in front and back
Very good service and quick service at the table Thank you Parking: Lots of cars, full parking, further to walk to the restaurant
Very good restaurant, the potatoes are excellent, a sweet and savory mixture, the waitresses are friendly
Very cold potatoes, eggs too light, cold roasts
Good service and good food overall. The portions are correct and the coffee maker stays on the table. Ample parking in the front and back. Front entry only Parking: Front and back
Since the management changed about a year ago I find that the quality of the service and the food has gone down and in addition the prices have gone up, I understand the increase in prices but the fds pass made us ask for 1$ extra for our table syrup for our pancakes yes yes I said table I think it should always be included, just like I asked for extra for the sugar in my coffee and no it wasnt a mistake, we were told to tell the boss who isnt there often I think so there you go!!! but hey if you dont do anything Im going to go have lunch in another restaurant in St-Jean its not like were missing it, from a loyal customer 1 to 3 times a week for 20 years
Perfect and good lunch and new owner and renovation Parking: Plenty of parking space
Good place
If the waitress hadnt insisted that the fruit bowl was good as I had, my experience would have been great. Mixed fruit cup with a small cup of custard, that s always what I order. Instead, I received a cut of banana and blueberries. It would have been so easy to change my plate
I didnt like my meal, it was cold and lukewarm coffee and really not good! But on the other hand good service! For my part I will not go back there again.
Fast and efficient service. When I enter this restaurant I often feel like Im in a hive! The bees work hard!!! Always full of people. Prices have increased since then, but are reasonable and hope it stays that way. The food is good. Thanks to the whole team!
Waitress with blond hair full of braids, bad service, we had to ask several times for our extra... stupid look. We have barely started eating and she brings us the bill, doesnt even come and ask us if everything is correct. Honestly, me and my partner were really disappointed.
Its rare that I make a comment on a service but this time, I thought it was relevant to make one. Normally, I always have good service at this restaurant but I went there recently and it was quite the opposite. First, the waitress threw the plate of bread on the table. Second, my friends and I had barely received our plates on the table when she was already arriving with our bills. We immediately felt rushed, like we had to hurry to lunch and leave. Finally, when it came time to pay, I expected the waitress to give me the machine so that I could add the tip I wanted to give her. Instead, she kept the machine and asked me how much I wanted to tip. I felt really uncomfortable and felt obligated to give him the minimum (15%) when I probably would have given less given the service I had received.
Very fast cooking. Friendly and courteous service. Ambient music imported directly from the French radio repertoire of the 80s which made us laugh.
Always excellent service.
The food was okay, but the service was top notch! Merci Mya K!
Everything is excellent, itou service.
Very ordinary
GOOD
Sunday lunch in the middle of the rush. Super good service and excellent food! Group of 9 people and they found us a table in 5 minutes! We will return there for sure!
Very good lunch and super fast service
Very good restaurant its my favorite the breakfast potatoes are super good and the services are great
We had just moved to the area. The crepe looked like a super thin omelette. The rest was ok. But the service was great!
Very interesting specials and impeccable services
Its rare that I give 5 stars. But its worth it, the plates are big and the prices are very affordable. Potatoes are something to try and even adopt (for the potatoes )
Best lunch place in St-Jean
The potatoes omg they are the best, fast service, I love this restaurant!!!!
Very good service. Excellent lunch.
Correct
Never disappointed. I love lunch here.
Portions are small
I love it super
GOOD
Always delicious
Everything is excellent, the service, the choices, the prices and the food.
lots of noise, very good. good service
Very good
Best lunch restaurants. The value for money is simply unbeatable. The menu is quite extensive and offers a wide choice of dishes. The prices are really lower than elsewhere and the service is good. Their breakfast potatoes are seasoned to perfection.
Cold lunch thick and rubbery bacon lukewarm coffee fruit not too strong either I would give zero stars
Excellent waitress. Just started and does everything to satisfy the customer. But another waitress gets in on her unceremoniously by stressing her out and putting a lot of pressure on her...... thats not how youll keep your employees
Nice in the morning. Super nice waitress!
No long wait, just a few minutes. Very well received and the meals are delicious.
Great food and service. I will be back again!
The waitress came to take my order and brought it to me 5 minutes later. She didnt come back after that. I had to borrow the syrup from the next table. After my meal, I got up and waited near the cash register to pay because I would still be there if I had stayed at my table. She seemed frustrated when she realized there would be no tip...Poor service.
Very bad in all aspects, maybe it wasnt a good idea to change owners!! The food is made in advance, its obvious the plates arrive in less than two minutes, the sausages are not cooked, the fresh fruit is not really fresh. The cold, sloppy, even very mediocre service!! Very disappointing that a classic from St-Jean loses so much charisma!
Very good service thank you
Very bad services. Incomplete order and full of errors but they charge the full price. The waitress is condescending and rude, she runs out in front of everyone thinking we hadnt paid. Very insulting.
Arrogant waitress. Egg Benedict cold sauce overcooked egg. Weak coffee with grain in it. Fly and hairs on the plate. No longer returning since the change of ownership.
Very good breakfast, generous plate, potato with a succulent taste, good value for money. For 2 adults approximately $30, with fresh squeezed orange juice
A restaurant that we will never go to again, or we usually go there with friends on Saturday/Sunday. Mediocre service, cold food, waitress who shouts very loudly the cooks are Afghanists, good for nothing who dont even half understand French, the same one told the other waitress that she had had enough, and that she wasnt working in anything Our waitress who asks us 2 to 3 times for our order and how the bills work. Soft potatoes, cold bacon, coffee beans in the bottom of the cup. What struck me the most was the pile of pre-cooked toast that you can see very clearly when you come home... Everything is prepared in advance, and nothing fresh. Really really disappointed... It really cant be the same restaurant.
Nice restaurant with good service but noisy
Still very good. The service is fast. The waitresses are nice and smiling. Not much waiting time because well organized. Parking: Parking at the front and at the back too
People speak too loudly
I called for a take out, I repeated my order 3 times because the lady on the phone couldnt hear anything. When I arrived the lady on site was rude and arrogant. I didnt even receive the right order (I asked for a Swiss ham and cheese crepe and I was given a Swiss ham and cheese omelette). There has been a big relaxation since the administration changed. Very disappointing!
Very noisy, good food, my dishes were dirty and the quantities versus the price are not worth the detour in my opinion
Best potatoes ever
I dont know whats going on in the kitchen but Ive been there a few times in the last few weeks The potatoes are dry and crumbled, the eggs are overcooked and brown, the supposedly new benches are all already decomposing.
Poor service, and the waiter is angry that there is little tipping.. I should perhaps inform the waitress that tipping is not obligatory in Quebec.
Wheelchair accessibility: Bon .Et très beau décor renouvelé.
Super rest
20 minute wait while half the tables are available And another 20 minutes of waiting before the waitress came to tell us that she had forgotten us.. Left without eating
Homemade meals during the week including soup, unlimited coffee and dessert for $8.95 or $9.95 for dinner. You can also have lunch at any time. Closes at 3 p.m.
For me its THE best restaurant for lunch A must especially for potatoes
Delicious
Very Beautiful Place! It was good! Thanks to the Cook! Early breakfast during the week. Excellent table service! I like the option of the carafe of coffee on your table! Thanks to the waitress!!
Very good
Great for a good lunch
