The inside joke is that I’m a bougie, expensive, and difficult woman to please. Let me get this straight: I can find pleasure, full satisfaction and appreciation towards any hidden gems in the city whether it’s a $9.00 meal or a $300.00 meal. I don’t care if it’s at an upscale restaurant or someone’s garage. Great food still remains great food.
The thing that comes with a ridiculous hefty price is that it comes with a lot of expectations and I’m confident enough to say that some of you may have experienced a hefty bill while leaving with disappointment. We’ve all been there, and I can certainly relate.
The amazing story about L'Entre-Pots is that @mtlpancakequeen was looking to build her database for pancakes and aiming to find the best ones in the city. Opened since 2011, Alexandre Beaudry and his team not only excel in customer service (which we all know, something that I profoundly value) but also care about the sense of family amongst the staff members. L’Entre-Pots offers catering services, breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner- I mean pretty much whenever you’re hungry. While the weather still allows it, they also have an extended terrace for those who want to enjoy their meal in the sun with a mimosa. While I also have been a guest during their popup and collaboration project, I can only consistently vouch for their brunch menu for at least the handful of time I’ve been there. Thank you to @mtlpancakequeen for introducing me this place- It had allowed me to showcase L'Entre-Pots talent to other followers and friends while hopefully creating more traffic to local businesses.
While there is a ridiculous high demand for avocados for all you avocado basic bitches, I’m sure many of you have noticed the skyrocketing prices of these bad boys. I mean, if you do the groceries. But the price doesn’t stop me from ordering the avocado toast at L’Entre-Pots. Served with salmon gravlax, feta cheese, dill yoghurt, and topped with a poached egg? This bad boy right here might be one of my many favourites on their menu. With their weekly specials, L’Entre-Pots is guaranteed to leave you full with their generous portions and excellent customer service.
With the power of social media, which gems have...

We walked by looking for a late breakfast, but it was already close to lunch and they were starting to line up—always a good sign. We came back a little later and managed to get a table, and I’m glad we did.
Each of us ordered something different and every plate hit the mark. The pain doré was délicieux, the Béné Olé (their take on a poutine-style bénédictine) was rich and perfectly done, and I had La Brandouille—a mix of salad, scrambled eggs with kimchi, and a few other tasty surprises I couldn’t quite name but loved anyway. It came with their house bread, a side of pommes de terre, and of course a little mayo, because we’re in Quebec.
Absolutely great meal, great company, and a moment that felt very local. We even shared a long table with what looked like three generations—a daughter, mother, and grandmother. We didn’t talk much, just exchanged a friendly salut at the end, but somehow it felt like we were all sharing something familiar. A really special...
Read moreBeautiful little breakfast restaurant. I liked the decor and natural lighting. The staff is nice and very welcoming, their coffee is great. It's small and gets packed around 10-11.
I appreciated the fact that everything looked homemade. However, the flavors weren't there for me. For example, the breakfast potatoes were missing a little something... Maybe some spices.
Bacon was very thick but again, it didn't taste amazing. Even the ketchup seemed homemade but it tasted very vinegary.
Bread is homemade and has a very nice texture and taste.
Overall, I would greatly go back for a coffee, but it's definitely not my favorite restaurant...
