Chez Claudette
A Montreal Classic. You can find this place on Laurier Avenue, 1 block west of St-Denis.
As the sign states, Chez Claudette serves breakfast “toute la journee”. They also serve ‘cuisine familiale’ - this means tortiere, shepherd’s pie, meat loaf, etc….
They also offer the unique choice of paying a little extra to transform your breakfast potatoes into a poutine. The beautiful thing here is that they still use the breakfast home fries for the ‘pout.
Here is some shots of the menu.
I ordered an orange/banana juice. Fresh.
After that, I ordered the ‘regulier’ with sausage and brown toast -and of course the poutine option.
This was delicious:
My lovely ladyfriend had the ‘regulier’ with bacon - no poutine, but I think she secretly regretted this error as she kept poking her fork into my poutine bowl.
All in all, a great Montreal breakfast experience. I hadn’t been here in a while, but Claudette is back in my little black book, and I will call on her regularly.

I’m moving to Montreal this summer. I’ll make sure to get some Chez Claudette in.

The Poutine Experience. Sounds like a spy novel. Tout la Journe, this means all day, no? My french sucks.

I went to Chez Claudette a couple of days ago. The poutine was OK but the pouding chômeur (”unemployed man’s pudding”) was excellent. One of the best desserts I have had in a long time.

[…] Just so you’ll know, I haven’t been skipping breakfast. In fact, I’ve eaten quite a few very good breakfasts that I should have written about but felt I could not do them justice without a photo or two. Many have been things that I have already blogged about, like the bagelettes we made last week and the Tropicanas we also enjoyed, plus the multitude of scrambles and over-easy’s and smoothies and sometimes just a small bowl of cottage cheese with banana slices in it. I even went for Dim Sum on the south shore, which I will post about very soon . . . once I download the photos taken by a friend who has his own camera. […]

[…] One of my old favourites recently got a face lift. Time for a follow-up from the breakfast doctor (that would be me, of course). […]
