The bar decor and interior of this cafe is very warm and inviting. Upon cafe opening I was one of the first few patrons.Enjoyed a nice quiet breakfast, standard food nothing outstanding. Friendly service. Reasonable prices.Would return in the evening for drinks.

IMPECCABLE service and food. We had reserved the top floor for a bridal shower of 20 people. There was no mix up in the plates (SURPRISINGLY), the food was warm and the waitress was AMAZING! She made our event excellent and the ambiance was superb! I recommend their food and the venue for small parties as well!

Visiting Montreal from out of town, and we stumbled across Ginkgo on a whim. We were pleasantly surprised. Table of 6 and they were able to accommodate us without a reservation, however the place was packed. Staff was all very friendly. Food was great. Half our party ordered the burger and breakfast poutine and that was fantastic. Other half ordered smoked salmon eggs benedict and it was throughly enjoyed as well. All in all would eat here again.

Great food, huge place with all types of seats, good service although it was crowded on Sunday and it took us a while to have our waiter’s attention when we needed something. But in total, great experience.

Loved the interior layout of this breakfast place, incredibly friendly server, with great lunch options, the Florentine eggs Benedict was served with raw spinach which was different for me but it turned out great and light

The presentation was great. Food was pretty good. Unfortunately it was quite cold. Service could of been better to. We learned that we don't like wine in our Caesars. Overall, we still enjoyed breakfast.

Great spot for a brunch or to grab a coffee.It gets very loud if you plan come for studying or have a more quiet time with someone.Place is gorgeous with open concept high ceiling, close to the Berri UQAM metro.Pricey but the food is very good.Nice outdoor terrasse available.

I liked the food. Tasted good with generous portions. The staff was friendly and helpful to us. Adequate prices. The positives stop here sadly. The ambience of this place is close to a pop nightclub. The clientèle is young and the music matches, we had breakfast listening to modern pop and latest hits with the volume cranked up. (given that most customers are students I guess that's okay?) but I just couldn't enjoy it.The striking thing for me was cleanliness. Please clean the little buckets where the milk/cream for the coffee is. Mine had an old smelly exploded cream that had dried at the bottom and smeared all the other milk doses with cream. And it's been there a while from the looks of it... Service was a bit slow, we waited 15 minutes to be served a cup of coffee. Would try again with friends but wouldn't recommend.

A classic Montreal brunch spot. Been here over the years and it used to be great, but the quality is really going down. It’s still good brunch; not just as good as it used to be 2/3 years ago. The Demi Demi (Half Benedict/ Half waffle) is always a safe bet. No english menus so it can get tough to figure the menu out for anglophones; but then again can’t complain about that when you’re in Quebec.

Cute decor and ambiance, great to have dates with your so or friend. Food is tasty and portion is on the smaller part compared to other breakfast restaurant but still perfectly fills you.
