Frejus St-Raphael Café

Just not my type of restaurant, although it is a favorite among the Verdunites. The food is always fresh and the price is great, but I just don’t like how it comes together. Each plate is either too rich or too bland. The chairs are uncomfortable and the tables are crowded together. You can get a little more leg room in the summer by sitting out on their terrace. One thing I enjoy about the place is their art displays of local talent. The art comes in many different mediums and is actually quite affordable.
I wish I could be as excited about this place as most people are in the neighborhood, but I have yet to be wowed by the food.

J’adore ce restaurant et la bouffe est originale, mais en fréquentant d’autres établissements j’en dis venu à la conclusion que je prix est un peu élevé pour un brunch en famille

Good spot to eat breakfast outside on a nice summer day. The food is better and more interesting than at the typical breakfast chains and it’s reasonably priced ($ 12.50, coffee or OJ included).

This is a nice, little venue which is very family friendly. Colouring books, fresh (sharpened) crayons, kids menu were welcoming. Our waitress generously offered for us to take a table with seating more than required for our family of four so we didn’t have to worry about the kids knocking things over on the tiny bistro tables.
My wife and I both enjoyed the Amber Ale on tap. I had an incredible pulled pork crêpe with Swiss cheese and maple syrup. My son devoured a large portioned pizza, my daughter the kids ham & cheese crêpe, and my wife the chicken crêpe with white wine sauce.
We enjoyed the local art on the deep saturated orange walls and the generous natural light from the large windows at the front. All in all, a nice night out and about a 20 minute walk from the apartment we are staying at in le Sud-​Ouest. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone with children.

Inconsistent
I went to Le Frejus three times and the first times I ate there the food was good, not great.
My first visit I ordered a pulled pork sandwich with wine. The wine was actually pretty good. The waiter and service was prompt and effective if a bit too serviceable.
The second time I went I ordered basically the same thing but this time the meal wasn’t as good as before and the wine was extremely weak… watered down? The waitress was funny but a bit too loud (joking and yelling, not saying, suggestions). I didn’t like the experience. But even so I tried it again just to make sure it wasn’t just a case of the cook having a bad day.
So the third time I ordered the grilled chicken and caesar salad with some red wine. The chicken was cold from the fridge (grilled?) and the salad was ok but overstuffed. The wine was disappointing, not as good as the first time I went there. I ordered some dessert and it was good but I don’t believe they make it at the restaurant. The waitress was terrible. I had to ask her for some water after waiting minutes on end for her to make an appearance even if the place was almost empty.
Later that might I became sick to my stomach and I couldn’t sleep at all.
Because of my last experience I won’t be going back there.

While staying at a bed and breakfast down the street I tried this place with my girlfriend. We found the food to be good, though not great. The service was also a bit slow for my liking — but I’m a New Yorker…
I would recommend if you are in the area and looking for cute ambiance and a decent bite.

Went for brunch on a cold winter’s day. Cozy and quaint atmosphere and friendly staff were only put off by a power cut. Even with that they maintained a smile and remained calm!
Varied and interesting brunch options to choose from. I took a frittata and my wife took buckwheat pancakes. Both were great and presented nicely!
Also note that this place is very kid friendly and they have a lot of high chairs as required!

Great local restaurant. Everything tastes delicious and fresh. The service is always very nice, the place is cozy and you feel like you are at home.
I usually go with my husband, but I also went with friends and we always see a lot of families that are regulars.
The crepes are just amazing. The presentation of the doshes make them look even tastier. Prices are very affordable and fair.
I didn’t give it 5 starts because I wishe there was a few more options for brunch. Otherwise, this place is absolutely great!

Endroit par excellence pour un déjeuner délicieux et vraiment original car leur brunch est varié. Bonne portion et bon prix.
L’ambiance de l’endroit est vraiment chaleureux, on se sens chez soi à cet endroit. J’y viens avec des amis et c’est super de discuter et d’y passer de bons moments.
Pour ce qui est du service, il est attentionné et vraiment amical. On sens la chaleur de l’endroit par les gens qui y travaillent aussi.
Un incontournable si vous êtes dans le coin!

After 2 hours of Kayaking, my girlfriend and I were starving and we saw that this place was only a few blocks down and had gotten great reviews online. The place is very cozy and the waitress was very friendly and efficient, we came in 1 hour before closing and ordered a meal with desert and coffee and never felt rushed by the staff, I even asked for the bill because I felt bad and was told not to worry and to finish my coffee first.
As for the food, the portions were huge and tasted great. I had the chicken burrito and my gf had the salmon crêpe. I did enjoy the burrito quite a bit, the salmon crêpe was good, but not at the same level as the burrito.
I left the restaurant with a smile and will definitely return.

Very delicious crepes!

Great place, give us the feeling of a home made kitchen breakfast, great size coffee, delicious maple syrup French toast. I totally recommend it. I was just missing like a bowl of warm potatoes with garlic on the side. Also good brunch price.

On a cloudy overcast day Café Fejus was a welcome place for a catch-​up and business chat over lunch. We both ordered one of the 4 blackboard table d’hôte meals that include soup and coffee (regular) for $ 12.50 before tax and tip.
We both ordered the lentil soup to start, and to my pleasant surprise was more like a purée of squash and carrot. Honestly, on of the best tasting lentil soups in my experience. I would go back just for that (with 3 small baguette slices and warm butter to boot)
I was eager to try their linguini pesto with broccoli, leek and chicken. The sauce was light and quite creamy and I ate every fork-​spun bite. My only point that needed attention was that the large chunks of quality chicken were not piping hot at the time the dish arrived, however, once I blended the warmer sauce, it warmed up enough to eat.
My lunch companion tried the bacon and caramelized onion pizza with a side salad, which looked very appetizing. If it weren’t for our constant conversation, I would have asked for a taste. Both our meals were gone in no time and we were asked about coffee at the right time and we did agree.
I noted a shiny silver ‘Faema’ brand espresso machine, so I figured even the regular filtered would be above par — it was with milk and sugar.
The service was notably warm and one of the servers even made giving the tip comfortable by realizing that I wanted to add some more change, he said, «either a duck or a bear.»
I’m looking forward to their weekend brunch and crepes.

Nice place in Verdun. I had one of the crepes and my partner had one of the pizzas. Simple and tasty, not sure it qualifies as a café as I did not notice any gourmet coffe being served, but would return.

Je donne la même cote que la précédente mais cette fois-​ci, mon avis est surtout à propos d’un de mes lunchs favoris en ville. Le wrap au poulet avec une sauce pesto citronnée est tellement bon, que je me dis qu’il est temps de revoir mon avis original! Plein de poulet, pas juste 2 ou 3 morceaux, savoureux, juteux et rafraîchissant. Servi avec une belle salade colorée, c’est le lunch idéal quand je suis trop paresseuse pour me faire à manger et que j’ai vraiment besoin de prendre une bonne pause et déconnecté pour une heure ou deux!
En pleine semaine, j’aime aussi fin d’après-midi pour une petite bouchée (les quesedilla sont vraiment bons aussi) accompagnée d’une bière et travailler pendant une heure ou deux. L’internet est fiable et les tables sont grandes et donc idéales pour être bien installé avec un laptop et une assiette! Le calme règne dans le café complet vers 15h environ, donc pour finir une journée ou une semaine chargée sur le bon pied, c’est un super bon refuge qui me permet d’être productive jusqu’à la dernière minute!

Probably the best Maple French Toast in Montréal.
I’ve been here twice now for brunch and have tried the aforementioned French Toast as well as crepes filled with Ricotta cheese and both of them were stellar.
Thick, fluffly pieces of bread, drenched in the egg mix and perfectly cooked, with maple syrup and pecans and swirls of whipped cream, this french toast is seriously rich and filling. You won’t need to eat for the rest of the day. The ricotta filled crepes were equally rich and filling. Both dishes came with mounds of fruit and free coffee or tea.
Service is very friendly. I have not had dinner here yet but did eye the desserts counter, and from what I understand, everything is made on the premises and looked just as good.
A bit out of the way, but you can always walk over to the riverside a few blocks away and walk off the meal.

Have been here twice now: once for lunch and once for breakfast, and the food was great both times. It’s not cheap, but it is definitely value for money — the food is worth it.
For lunch I had a great chicken wrap: It wasn’t cheap but it was worth it, and packed solid with toppings.
For breakfast I had a completely different take on French toast, which I won’t even try to do justice by describing, you’ve just got to try it yourself (I think someone uploaded a photo of it, check it out). Most of the breakfasts came with a bowl of latte, which is always a nice size.
