Breakfast things

La Boîte Gourmande (445, avenue Laurier Est): This new breakfast joint near the Laurier metro was still a bit empty when me and my girlfriends paid it a visit one Saturday morning, but the people working were sweet and let us sit there and chat for a good two hours, long after our food had gone cold and as the place slowly filled up.

La Boite Gourmande

The restaurant is bright and sunny, with wooden tables and church pew seating. I had a lovely melty Oka cheese, apple and walnut sandwich, and the regular bacon and eggs were good too. The yogurt came with a pumpkin compote and the coffee was yummy.

Breakfast, devoured
The aftermath

They also sell frozen meals that might come in handy if you live in the area and pass by on your way to the metro. There was something virtuous about this place.

I didn't realize you've been writing so much. It's great to read your comments on breakfast places. Will check some when we're in Montreal.

I like the photo of misty Adirondacks, kind of romantic and sad. It's so wonderful to be able to hop in the car for weekend road trips. I miss those carefree times sans enfants.
