Olive et Gourmando; A

Expensive but chic brunch and lunch place in Old Montreal. Complex ordering system – a waiter reserves your table but you order at the sandwich counter, then once you’re seated the waiter serves you through dessert. Small yet plentiful bakery counter for takeout. Pleasantly eclectic. The only thing I didn’t like was the oddly tasting organic root beer and the high price – my crab salad, while beautifully presented on a slate and delicious, was ~$24.

351 Rue St. Paul O. at Rue St. Pierre

metro: Place d’Armes

Try not to drive; parking in Vieux-Montreal is a bitch.
