Pamplemousse Cafe

If you want a real Québécois flavor! This place had some good eating! A great place for home made touriere and Pâté de Saumon. Bottomless Café with good wifi!

Honnêtement, ça fait un bout (environ un an) que je né suis pas allée au Pamplemousse.
Je suis passée devant il y a quelques temps, en espérant qu’il n’ait pas perdu sa clientèle à cause du nouveau café d’en face (oui, Pamplemousse, j’ai été infidèle moi aussi).
J’y allais chaque weekend avec ma coloc. J’en ai d’excellents souvenirs: smoothies à tout casser, latte réconfortant, personnel hyper sympathique et attentif à nos besoins. Un couple, je crois. La clientèle y est très variée: étudiants, personnes âgées, familles, habitués de la place qui lisent leur journal en solitaire…
J’y faisais toujours des découvertes musicales intéressantes. Le folk domine.
Pour dîner, il y a toujours de l’excellent comfort food préparé avec amour. La tourtière du Lac Saint-​Jean est en vedette, il est même possible d’en commander pour le temps des Fêtes!
Longue vie au Pamplemousse!

During our exploration walk around Montréal (on the way to the Olympic Tower), my husband & I started our search for a breakfast place. We didn’t pass too many places, and those we did pass just didn’t strike our fancy. Until we saw the Pamplemousse Café.
It looked adorable and had a decent selection, so we went for it.
Of course, our waitress didn’t really speak English (which means it’s probably not a tourist place, which is nice) and our French is lacking, but we did ok!
Unfortunately, I can’t recall exactly what we got, but I’m pretty sure I got a veggie omelette (with sausage), home fries and toast. It was SO GOOD and I completely cleaned my plate.
My husband ordered an egg, cheese and ham (I think) sandwich, which had a REALLY nice seasoning on it. I could not place what it was, but it almost made me like his more than mine!
I was so glad we stumbled upon this place!
