La grand-mère poule
A few days after my wedding I was in Montreal with my new wife.. and we tried out La grand-mère poule at 2500 Beaubien East.
Since I’m not in Montreal too often these days, when I saw the Saint Viateur on the menu, I couldn’t help myself. From the menu: “2 oeufs pochés et bacon sur bagel, nappés de sauce hollandaise ou carbonara”
In other words, 2 eggs poached eggs on Saint Viateur bagel halves with bacon, covered in either hollandaise or carbonara sauce. It comes with hot sugared apple slices and fresh fruit with fried grated potatoes. Oh my:
Super Yummy. $9.95
Saint Viateur makes the best bagels in the world and I was a lucky boy to have lived a block away from there for a few years.
Feel free to comment if you think otherwise.

I don’t know about the one on Beaubien, but the one on Bernard is pretty poor as far as breakfast goes. The plate was gigantic, and the portion barely filled half of it, the potatoes were undercooked and the bacon was way way overcooked. My eggs were also cold.
I usually avoid chain restaurants all together, but when you live so close it can be tempting. I learned my lesson!

I’ve heard bad things about the one on Bernard. I miss the old Buymore that was in that spot..

The one on Bernard closed sometime this year, but as far as I know the one on Beaubien is still packed. Guess not all franchise outlets are created the same…
