It's no longer a secret, I love brunches!! So I went to L'Arrivage last week and really, this place is definitely on my top list. Certainly one of the best in Montreal.

VIBE
L'Arrivage is located at the second floor of the Pointe Callière Museum in Old Montreal. With its polished look, this little restaurant/bistro gets great light from its large windows. But what really amazed me was the impressive view you get from the balcony. I strongly recommend to sit outside. There are approx. ten tables and you get this great view of the harbor.

FOOD
L'Arrivage offers an interesting weekend brunch. The menu has many items, some of which are more lunch than brunch. There is two sections on the menu: an à la carte section & a main menu (with choice of entrée, main dish and a dessert). My mind was already made up before even looking at the menu. Gargantua!!! Okay so the Gargantua ($17) is basically a sampling of their menu - Eggs Benedict, French toast, yogurt, potatoes, quiche, blood pudding, marmalade. What can I say more? Best. Brunch. Ever.
VERDICT
I was really impressed because I did not expect this...like at all. This is a hidden gem (ideal spot for a date or family event). I have nothing bad to say. The food is of excellent quality, tasty and the presentation is brilliant. Plus, the prices aren't that crazy. Okay folks, this is not for everyone...the menu is more refined. If you expect eggs & bacon dishes, don't go there.But for those of you who like to try new food, this is definitely a place to go. I enjoyed L'Arrivage and I strongly recommend to all the food lovers out there. Pro - I like the fact you can make reservations. The view is amazing! Bonus: going to the museum after your brunch can be fun.
Cons - N/A
