The Sparrow (5322 blvd Saint-Laurent): This relatively new spot is insanely popular for many good reasons. The food, most importantly, has been impeccable the two times I've been (between myself and my dining companions we've had salmon scrambled eggs, chanterelles + eggs + soda bread, an English pub breakfast (including boudin) and banana chocolate donuts). A pricier brunch, but worth every additional dollar. The decor is warm and cozy, all dark wood and wallpaper in that charming gastropub kind of way. Unfortunately its popularity means that wait times are a little out of control on weekends. We tried going for brunch on Saturday and Sunday, and by the time we arrived (10:30ish), there was already a long line of people, and we were told that a table for two would take 40-45 minutes. I love brunch and I love good food, but there are too many other options in the neighbourhood to wait that long. I'm looking forward to trying dinner here or coming in the evening for a drink when the lineups are (hopefully) more manageable.
