Peche Matinal

Absolutely delicious food, perfectly cooked and delicious. The service was kind and very patient. The atmosphere was nice and felt very fancy, but it did feel a little cramped

Disappointing Brunch Despite High HopesnnAfter hearing rave reviews from friends and seeing positive ratings online, my family and I visited Pêche Matinal on Saturday morning, May 10, 2025, with high expectations. Unfortunately, our experience didn’t live up to the hype.nnWe arrived around 10am and waited in line for 30 minutes—reasonable for a popular spot. The atmosphere inside was pleasant, with a cozy and inviting vibe. However, the food fell short. We ordered three different dishes, but none aligned with our tastes. The flavors were overly salty, and the smoked salmon paired with cream cheese didn’t work well—the balance was off, making the dish unappetizing.nnConsidering the price point, we expected better execution and more refined flavors. While the ambiance and service were decent, the food itself left us disappointed. We wouldn’t return or recommend it for brunch, especially given the many other great options in the area.nnRating: 2/5 – Just okay, but not worth the wait or cost.

Food was good, but it felt heavy even though the portions were a bit smaller than expected, and regular coffee wasn't even included.. I liked that the poutine sauce wasn't a hollandaise for a change. But I don't know what kind of curds they use, but they were all melted. I didn't like the atmosphere at all for a breakfast restaurant. Maybe if we were seated in the back with all the lights from the roof, it would have been better. The front was too dark and too noisy, the music was too loud, I couldn't even hear my girlfriend talking.

Péché Matinal is everything you want in a breakfast spot—warm, vibrant, and utterly unforgettable. We decided to give it a try on a recommendation, and wow, we’re so glad we did. From the moment we arrived, we could see this place is a local favorite; a line had already formed outside, hinting at the delicious experience awaiting us. Although we waited around 20 minutes, it was absolutely worth it.nnThe restaurant’s layout is narrow and cozy, with a delightful solarium at the far end where sunlight filters in, creating a charming, inviting atmosphere. The space was packed, yet the service didn’t miss a beat. Despite the crowd, the staff was attentive and cheerful, making us feel welcome from start to finish.nnNow, let’s talk about the real star—the food. Péché Matinal has elevated breakfast to an art form. Each dish is brimming with flavor, thoughtfully crafted, and generous enough to satisfy even the heartiest of appetites. Whether you’re craving classic breakfast fare or something more inventive, every bite is fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. And for the quality you’re getting, the prices are more than reasonable.nnThis place has quickly become our go-to breakfast spot, and we’ve already returned several times. If there’s one thing I’d suggest improving, it’s the lineup management outside, which can be a little chaotic at peak times. But honestly, that minor inconvenience is a small price to pay for such an incredible dining experience.

We called at 8:10am to ask if we could reserve a table and we would be there in half an hour. The waiter said no, but they had four empty tables that could be used by the group. When we arrived we were seated at the front door, less than 70cm away from the door. The waiter said there was no other place for six people. The whole meal we had our faces facing the queue, people kept opening the door behind the chairs and talking, it was very noisy. The food was beautifully presented, but very salty. My husband ordered a bread dish that was oily, sweet and salty. I think my organs would have to work all day to digest this breakfast. First and last time.
