Toi, Moi Et Café

Mon expérience personnelle :
1) Très bruyant, donc peu propice au travail/​étude.
2) Il faut que l’on soit placé par le personnel. Alors j’ai attendu 10 minutes à la porte sans que personne né vienne, puis quand j’ai décidé de m’assoir à une des tables libres, une jeune femme indifférente m’a avisé d’un ton bête de retourner à la porte et est restée derrière son comptoir. Il y a une différence entre être occupé et insouciant.
3) Bref, je suis allé au Starbucks.

Toujours très bon ce resto. J’adore leurs bols de chocolat chaud. La fds dernière nous avons commandé les oeufs béné avec jambon sur muffin anglais grillé servis avec fruits (ananas, melon d’eau et cantaloup) et beaucoup de sauce hollandaise, et aussi la tortilla déjeuner aux oeufs avec fronage, salsa et piments. Les deux assiettes sont servis avec des pommes de terre légèrement épicées et des «bines» en plus des fruits. Trèsbien situé; tout près du Marché Atwater.

I’ve been here for both brunch AND dinner! I had no idea they also did dinner until I was going around trying to find a decent place to eat around the area.
Brunch isn’t particularly special, it’s just any typical brunch, eggs, toast, sausage, potatoes, bacon etc etc it’s decent, but I’ve had better brunch elsewhere.
Dinner is surprisingly good. A little misleading on the menu however, so be warned, you might want to ask them what exactly is in the dish. I ordered the chicken with goat cheese sauce, turns out that it was a pretty big portion, but the majority of the dish is actually pasta, and there is two pieces (be it, large pieces) of chicken and some veggies. It was still pretty good though, the sauce was quite tasty and creamy, but also heavy, I wasn’t able to finish the whole dish.
Also, there are things on the menu that they don’t actually have available! We had wanted to try some of their amazing sounding desserts, but then when we asked for them, we were told that they didn’t actually have any of those desserts, or any of the ice cream milk shakes… which makes me wonder why are they listed there in the first place?
However, they do have a large selection of cakes and pies that you can look at in the glass counter and pick from, and we had a piece of a cream puff chocolate mousse cake which was pretty good.
All in all, the food is decent, the wait staff are nice and friendly, but just be careful with the menu as it might not always have what they listed, and what they list might not be exactly what you expect (not necessarily in a bad way)

The service here is decent and their various coffees and chai tea are fine. Unfortunately, I came w my family for brunch and the food left a lot to be desired. We ordered crepes and a raclette the dish.
Regarding the crepes: we had the one w caramel, Apple, and nuts. Didn’t see many nuts (not an issue), but the caramel was far, far too sweet (much more so than a typical caramel). As a result, the taste of apples was overwhelmed. There may have been long-​term damage to my taste buds. Interestingly, the crepes themselves were ok on their own. Best go w something simple in the crepes front.
Regarding the raclette: there may have been one (small and thin) slice of melted raclette cheese in the dish so I feel misled by the menu on this one. The dish was potatoes, onion, asparagus (if I recall correctly), a poached egg, and a hollandaise sauce. None were executed well and the hollandaise was extremely bland (the opposite problem of the caramel above). Very dissatisfied w this dish.
Not sure I’ll come again. Probably not given the large number «certified-​tasty» options for brunch nearby.

Déjà que j’étais fan de leur gâteau aux carottes mais voilà que je découvre leur salade poulet/​teryaki ! Waouh !

Hard to believe that this place is related to Laurier Street’s Toi Moi et Café. 1^st of all, the ambience is close to MacDonald’s or Tim Hortons’, with extremely annoying lighting and bad floors.
The staff was slow and inattentive, the prices are nuts for what it is — my friend had salmon tartar, which was plain in taste and swimming in mayonnaise for 21 $!
My tea with rum was barely reaching room temperature and tasted like spoiled orange juice, I am not sure what kind of tea it could be that tastes like this.
I think this place needs a good manager to save it. And something to be done about this awful hennery-​kind-​of-​lighting urgently.

Yeah, super average. I was starved so I got the breakfast burrito… there was just a really striking absence of any flavor at all.
Hubs got the salmon bagel with salad. It was all very sad looking and wilty.
On the upside, we both got the filtered decaf coffee and it was good.
Looks like they have an amazing selection of cakes, so if I were you, I’d steer clear of the food and just enjoyed some torrifacted goodness and treats.
Other upsides: service was good, and ambiance is nice.

Food was amazing! I came here two separate occasions because it was THAT good. Ordered the waffles with chorizo and omelet chorizo with corn with cappuccino. Cappuccinos are delish but over priced. It was very busy so service was slow which is def ok because the food was worth the wait. Even tho it was slow I am still very happy with the service. waitress made sure I was happy with my food.

«Apathy and Indigestion: A Journey through disappointment»
Tried it begrudgingly twice and never again-​schizophrenically poor menu options and cold and lazily served food.
Coffee was good though.

After attempting to get into Griffintown Café and not getting seated due to short staffing or whatever it was that was going on there, we left and ended up at Toi, Moi et Café. The place was super busy and we did have to wait a bit for the food but to their defense the place was full so we didn’t mind. We both enjoyed our food and the staff was apologetic about the wait and were very nice. Will definitely go back. Also their coffee is really good and the prices are decent too.

Toi, Moi et Café is a cute little coffee shop slash restaurant which features a fair selection of coffee, desserts and local (French) cuisine. Because I find the food to be slightly overpriced, I usually prefer to visit during the evening for a warm coffee and dessert when the restaurant is almost empty and the best seats by the window are available. If you have a sweet tooth, I highly recommend their Crème Brûlée as well as their Pecan and Chocolate pie; both are delicious. I also go for the atmosphere; low light, calm and meditative. The staff is always amicable, efficient and quick.
Were the prices a bit lower I would gladly give them five stars. After all, it’s not difficult to find good and cheaper food elsewhere in Montréal. Until then, four will have to do for price/​value. I still recommend nonetheless.

What a mediocre brunch for $ 20. Potatoes were saggy, eggs were ok. Hollandaise sauce, mediocre. And the chef really skimped on the smoked salmon.
What’s more, there was a strong smell of lacquer, like some was doing auto body work next door! It was a horrible and all the management said was sorry, but charged us just the same.
I won’t be recommending this place anytime soon.

Okay so i thought i would write an update for this place !
Me and my girlfriend went there one month ago, her plate was cold (like if they just took it out of the fridge and didn’t care about heating it up) and when she complained about it the guy just took the plate and it went straight to the microwave oven with the fruits and everything. We thought we would give them a chance, and for me chances are not something you usually get easilly but we where always satisfaied in the past so we gave them a chance. This time i had a hair in my plate. I noticed the cook was only weering a casket. No net! And unshaven !
This time its OVER !

J’adore cet endroit !!! Le café y est excellent!
La carte offre pas mal de choix mais je reste toujours sur mon choix préfère soit les œufs bénédictine aubergine et fromage de chèvre !! Petite ambiance de café autant agréable pour les brunchs que pour un petit goûté sucré à 16h ;-)!
Ils proposent de très bon gâteau avec des parts bien généreuses !!
Je vous le conseille fortement !

Location: Notre-​Dame West
Eats: Since I was going to be checking out the first restaurant on my #TasteMTL list later on, I opted for a Macchiato and a croissant. The Macchiato was strong as all hell and I’m surprised I wasn’t bouncing off the walls by the time I was done. It was a little bitter but overall, decent. Have I had better? Yes. The croissant was fine — fat and crispy on the outside, softish on the inside. Nothing to write home about.
Service: First, despite the sign that says someone will seat you, we seated ourselves because no one bothered to greet us. The place wasn’t full but the service was slow and the staff seemed uninterested in its patrons. Furthermore, this has got to be the clumsiest wait staff in all of Montréal! Not only were dishes dropped and broken on two separate occasions, but one waiter actually dropped a fork down my back (the wrong way — prongs scratching and all) and didn’t even bother to apologize. Seriously? How the hell does that even happen? Really not impressed with these people. Not to mention that every time they walked behind me they would hot my chair — there was plenty of room between me and the person behind me, to avoid doing that.
It’s a cute place but would I go back? Probably not.

Service is slow and our waiter wasn’t friendly.
I ordered the fresh fruit platter with granola and yogurt. I was really disappointed because all I got were a few slices of cantaloupe, honey dew, pineapple, few grapes and one kiwi. Considering strawberries, blueberries and raspberries were in season, there could of been more variety.
My boyfriend is more of an eggs and bacon type of guy, so lets just say his white toast was the best part of his meal.
Definitely not worth the price, so we will likely not go here again.

We found this place through Unilocal while visiting Montréal for Osheaga. For a monday morning, it was lightly filled with customers, and offered great breakfast options and nicely crafted coffees.
It seems that the café becomes a regular dinner spot in the evenings, and by the look of the menu posted on the wall, I’d have been happy to return later that night, if not for getting on the train shortly after we left the café!
Service was good, service speed was quick, and I would come back again.

We have eaten at Toi Moi several times for dinner as well as breakfast. The food is very reasonably priced for Montréal and all of the plates I have tried have been excellent. The goat cheese sandwich is delicious, and the mushroom risotto is quite yummy! I have also tried the smoked salmon bagel which comes with a good side salad.
The only thing I will say is that at night sometimes they only have one server working. This could be okay, but sometimes he/​she can get quite overwhelemed to the point where they do not have time to fill your water and one time they even forgot to enter/​bring my friend’s meal!
Overall, I definitely recommend this restaurant. The food is very consistent and the staff are all pleasant and helpful.

Belle place, pour déjeuner/​bruncher, si vous êtes dans la Petite-​Bourgogne, bon service & belle assiette, je recommande fortement ! Leur café est vraiment bon, de plus, ils ont différentes sortes de café que vous pouvez acheter sur place.

A big fan of the Griffen Town /​Little Burgundy area ~ Toi, Moi, et Café is another well crafted piece to the puzzle.
Atmosphere: Super. Spacious, but busy, neat but bustling, Toi, Moi, et Café is a wonderful blend of activity and tranquility all wrapped into one. Comfortable, yet unassuming, furniture provide comfort, while the seat arrangement allows for free movement yet is spaced in such a way as to make conversations further than arms length difficult to discern. This allows for talk to be privately shared due to the crowding out phenomenons of many simultaneous conversations. Well decorated and homely, this place is wonderful for early morning breakfast, mid-​morning brunch, and even a late evening desert /​coffee.
Service: Bi-​lingual staff are smart, well spoken, and extremely pleasant. Hardworking, such that you are attended too quite often, without the need to ask.
Food: A satisfying, yet concise, breakfast menu is sure to please many. Portions are generous, and as a treat many dishes come with baked local apples with warm berry jam at the centre of their pitted core (literally, very sweet!). Toi, Moi, et Café also has a delectable selection of deserts ranging from crumbles (apple & pear), to cheese cakes (carrot and raspberry), chocolate and caramel cakes, as well as a wide assortment of cookies (cranberry), muffins, and biscotti. Do not under value the dinner offerings either. The selection list is limited, but the dishes are very well done and appeal to a large variety of pallets. A wine cellar provides plenty of vintages is also part of this place’s charm.
Did you they take their coffee very seriously here? (check out their website!)
Love it ~ go & enjoy

Was in Montréal for an event and decided to use Unilocal to find a recommended breakfast place. Loved the natural daylight at the front of the restaurant for a breakfast place. The potatoes are a great oven roasted side and the fruit that comes with the breakfast includes a small baked apple (mine was a bit under cooked but was still tasty). The coffee was amazing.

we looked for an awesome breakfast foodie restuarant… toi, moi et café… you were great… thanks.

De style bistro, offre une grande sélection de cafés. Vous pouvez les déguster de plusieurs façons: espresso, piston, filtre. Pour vraiment goûter le café optez pour le café piston. Aussi, un café équitable du mois (version filtre), c’est une excellente façon de découvrir de nouveaux cafés. On y offre les classiques du déjeuner et des choix dîner.
Ma recommandation est le soufflé au fromage Le Fleurmier de Charlevoix et pomme, service avec la pomme farcie, des fruits et du pain baguette (au choix). Le soufflé joue beaucoup sur les subtilités gustatives des différents ingrédients. À noter que le soufflé nécessite approximativement 20min à préparer.
Un petit conseil, la fin de semaine ce resto est très occupé, arrivé avant 11h ou après 13h, sinon il y a habituellement une file. En semaine, c’est un bon endroit pour flâner avec un café et un livre.

Ce samedi matin, j’ai commencé ma journée avec un bon brunch au Toi, Moi et Café avant d’aller faire mes courses au Marché Atwater. J’étais plutôt dans un «mood» pour rester santé, tout en mangeant assez pour me soutenir presque jusqu’au souper. J’y ai trouvé une assiette parfaite, la Gauloise si je me souviens bien. C’était une omelette ouverte avec fèves aux lards, patates rôties, beaucoup de fruits frais et une petite baguette. L’assiette est aussi venue avec une pomme farcie d’un liquide aux fruits que j’ai apprécié, mais avec tout le reste, je n’ai seulement eu assez de place que pour en prendre une seule bouchée. Elle donnait l’impression d’être suite mais elle était froide.
J’ai bien aimé leurs cafés. J’y suis allée avec le latte qui était chaud sans être brûlant et balancé parfaitement pour ce qui est de la portion espresso versus lait. J’y ai vu quelques personnes avec leurs laptops qui profitaient du wi-​fi gratuit mais puisqu’il était encore assez tôt, les familles prenaient la plupart de la place du café. Ça m’a quand même donné le goût d’y retourner une autre fois pour y travailler et essayer un autre de leurs cafés aromatisés (il y en a un à saveur de Baklava dans le menu).
Pour les enfants ou simplement ceux qui aiment colorer, si je me fie à la table voisine, il y a des crayons cires sur demande.

First of all, we were to a bad start since they didn’t serve Mimosa on a Friday morning. The food was good, we had the eggs benedict which was excellent but I didnt care much about the soufflé with cheese from Charlevoix and apple. We could barely taste the cheese let alone the apple. The service was ok.
The place looks good, roomy and clean. Great location and plenty of natural light.

Toi, moi et café est un café avec service, où le café et les gâteaux sont bons. J’ai souvent fixé des rendez-​vous professionnels à ce café, et les serveuses étaient courtoises. La présence d’un réseau Wi-​Fi est aussi un atout. Pour dîner, le café offre un menu un peu coûteux compte tenu de leur simplicité. Cependant, je doit dire que j’ai adoré leur hamburger au fromage bleu.

The coffee is good and the ambiance is ok. I don’t pay with my debit card anymore in that location, but it’s a good spot for an afternoon coffee or any early dinner in the neighbourhood.
2010– BE CAREFUL, I JUST FOUND OUT FROM MY BANK THAT MY CARD WAS CLONED IN THAT RESTAURANT. THE EMPLOYEE WHO COMMITTED THE FRAUD HAS EMPTIED MY ACCOUNT YESTERDAY.
I thought I could trust that place, I have been there numerous times and everything was fine. I rarely use my debit card and only do in places I think I can trust. Unfortunately, an employee put a chip on the ATM machine, my card was cloned at the beginning of July and they used the card yesterday, along with many other customers cards.

I have tried different items on their menu and have consistently been disappointed. French toast served either undercooked or barely battered. Fruit served on their plates is boring. Hell, they can’t even get a toasted bagel right…
There are so many good places out there, why waste a meal here?
