trying to decide where to go for brunch in montreal is impossible. okay, okay, that’s a little dramatic, let’s go with extremely difficult. the options are endless and i was getting in a tizzy trying to decide which brunch place to try out. after much debate, we settled on fabergé.
we came on a tuesday and arrived just before 11:00am. there was already a lineup inside (montrealers don’t mess around) but by the time we settled into our seats, the line stretched out the door. crazy. tip: make sure your whole party is there, otherwise they won’t sit you.
the vibe is chic but laid back. love how there were 90’s cartoons playing in the background. talk about nostalgia. even though the place is close quarters, there still is room to breath.
menu is broken down into sweets (crepes, french toast and waffles), benedicts, sandwiches, omelettes and eggs.
- s’mores waffles ($14.00) - holy cow, this was awesome! i thought it would be way too sweet for my liking but everything was well balanced. gooey marshmallows, nice crunch from the graham crackers and a generous dose of nutella.
- le massif ($16.00) - the sides were completely forgettable. i wouldn’t even waste stomach space eating those baked beans, blah. the rest was pretty standard fare and didn’t have me jumping out of my seat like the s’more waffle. i liked the small cup of fruit.
this place is hip and popular. personally, i wouldn’t be willing to wait with a line running out the door but i can see why people would like it.
