their bowls and salads are SO YUMMY!! the dressings they use are too good (and available to buy). chic decor inside and a nice open ambiance. very cute spot to grab breakfast or lunch in q nice neighborhood. the staff was also very friendly. would definitely recommend (only downside is that its on the pricier end, but worth it IMO)

Came for breakfast, left disappointed. For $20, this so-called breakfast burrito is a joke. Bland, flavorless, and embarrassingly small – it feels more like a sad excuse for a soggy panini. And let’s talk about the presentation: it was on its very own, wet in some corners from what looked like dark residue from a filthy panini press. Two eggs? If there was even one in there, I’d be shocked. Honestly, how do you justify the price? This isn’t an airport lounge or some Michelin-star spot. It’s just a massive rip-off. Save your money and go literally anywhere else in Montreal – this place isn’t worth it. I can think of many places in Montreal where you get a big ass burrito for 20$. When I asked for hot sauce, Tabasco was all they had… 😂 The service was smileless and disinterested. I won’t be back, and I wouldn’t recommend anyone waste their time or money here.

Hair found in my salad and pastry / bakery cabinet was full of mini food flies (which cashier acknowledged, saying they are trying to work on it, but also said that they still sell those pastries / baked good despite flies).

The breakfast sandwich is delicious, and the lemonade was refreshing. After ordering (Uber eats) their breakfasts for a while I decided to come dine in and it was worth it. Very calm and relaxed atmosphere. The staff are friendly and welcoming. I’ll definitely be back for more lemonade! Great terrace as well.

Uber ordered their egg sandwich and loved it so decided to visit the place for breakfast to explore 😊. I repeated the egg sandwich and was great. Also tried the bagel with cream cheese and the egg burrito and were really good. Cosy nice place and friendly staff.

Very inviting, cosy boutique style eatery. Reasonable priced, great atmosphere. Salads are fresh and bountiful. The pastries whilst tasty lacks fillings. This is understandable as the apple pie single pastry is extremely small. Friendly staff. We will definitely return. The max &cheese was a definite hit with my daughter.

Oh dear!! I have never had such good scrambled eggs! And the accompanying bread was delicious!! All this, accompanied by a just-strong enough Americano and impeccable service. It s definitely worth the cost and the trip!! I will return with great pleasure.

Favourite lunch place ever. Most delicious soups Ive ever tasted. They are vegan and delicious. Love the broccoli soup, the carrot ginger and the butternut squash. Love the grilled chicken sandwich or the soy ginger chicken salad. On the pricier side, but quality and taste make it absolutely worth it. Its like a gourmet lunch.

If you want to pay $18 for a bagel and lox, go right ahead. It comes with five capers, some lettuce, and a napkin. Go on, treat yourself.

No wifi no place to sit

What a terrible experience. My wife and I stopped there for lunch, as we often do, with our two young sons who had just eaten at a fast food restaurant and were finishing their drinks. While we sat at the outdoor table at Cote Cuisine waiting for our food, the waitress asked our sons to leave the table with their drinks as this was not allowed. We told her that this made no sense and so she went to get the manager. The latter actually brought us our food in a take-out bag and asked us to not sit at the table if my sons held their drinks. When we asked what harm was being done, she could only answer thats our policy. We were incredulous but she insisted and so we asked to be reimbursed and left. The manager actually preferred to waste just-prepared food and lose good customers forever rather than have my sons finish their drinks at the table. What a dumb, short-sighted decision. After a very difficult Covid year for restaurants you would think that retaining customers would be important to them. Clearly Cote Cuisine does not understand this concept.

They offer a $1 discount if you bring your own mug. That fact alone deserves them 5 stars. The food is also pretty good.

The seating is nice and the staff are friendly and knowledgeable. The coffee is good but overpriced. The food is forgettable, unfortunately. The standard coffee shop just one block west of this has cheaper and slightly better coffee.

Really very disappointed, if not horrified, by my experience at James Perse on the kitchen side, on February 15th. First, the waitress blurted out while I was ordering my coffee and she didnt even have the decency to apologize. Plus, she was smiling so much that she looked like a mentally retarded person or a serial killer who had just escaped from an asylum. It was so dusty and full of mites in there that I had an asthma attack. The only highlight of my visit was the tofu bowl.
