Cora déjeuners — Restaurant in Saint-Jérôme

Chez Cora in Saint Jerome was a nice surprise. We didn't know where we were going to eat and my road trip buddy, she said to me there let's go there I'm hungry. We used to have lots of Chez Cora in Montréal, but long time no see. Surprisingly, the restaurant was very clean and bright and cheery and decorated with some personal taste I guess of the restaurant owner or franchisee, and our waitress and a couple of the other stuff for absolutely lovely and pleasant. As an anglophone in Quebec and she heard us speaking English she said would you like the English menu apparently the languages are separate on the menus instead of combined. The menu is very very pretty and my road trip buddy and I both ended up ordering the same thing. It was as pretty as the picture was on the gorgeous menu and it was tasty and delicious and beautifully prepared and presented. What a nice surprise. The place wasn't particularly busy but we came after the lunch rush by a fair bit. I would definitely go back. The prices were better than the average covid-19 prices and that also pleased us. This is a definite...

The place looks cleans and the staff is cordial. This was my second time going at this location.

However, 2 days ago, near the end of eating my breakfast, a dead bug was found in my meal. Situation reported to the server who witnessed the dead bug and she took the plate away.

To my surprise, NO discount given for the dead bug situation when I received the bill.

I had to ask the server to seek for the discount to the management.

For a contaminated meal with a bug, it should have been automatic for the management to give the discount.

Again, to my suprise, a poor 15% discount was given. A dead bug in someone's meals can cause food poisoning! Including, that it raises questions about the food safety (salubrité alimentaire). A full reimbursement should have been given.

Cora is a nice breakfast chain but unfortunately, I'm not sure we will go back at...

Incredible experience at this Cora location.

Came in early on Saturday morning, (Apr 23rd) and was immediately greeted by a cheerful and personable young gentleman. I was quickly seated and my order taken. Food came out promptly and was perfectly cooked and presented. The best Cora or other breakfast restaurant (Petinos, etc..) I've had in AGES.

My waiter was a happy buzzing little bee of service. Passing by every two sips I took to refill my cup, and responding to my requests promptly, courteously, and cheerfully....

I've been avoiding Cora in recent years as I feel the food and service have suffered from their massive success.... This particular restaurant, and this one waiter, have totally redeemed them.

I didn't think to ask the gentleman's name, but he was a tall-ish, dark haired, tattooed...
