It is recommended that you have a reservation for this very popular meal but if that isn't possible then go ahead and try a walk in, it will necessitate a wait but it is well worth it. You need to be able to climb stairs to dine here since the dining room is on the second floor. We just walked in and we got seated quite quickly.
The restaurant has great views from all the windows but the most coveted seats are those along the riverside. Not matter which ones you get it will be light and bright and it is hard not to have at least a partial view of the St Lawrence River. The kitchen here is open and the chefs are a real bunch of hams and will mug for you if you want to take pictures, the hostess encourages it and they all get in the act.
The wait staff is very professional which can come across as a bit stiff and cold. Try speaking a little French to them and watch the thaw set in.
The brunch menu offers traditional brunch items as well as lunch items. Steak and fries are offered alongside breakfast items named after locations in France. Poached Eggs Lyonnaise pairs two poached eggs with duck confit, leeks, shallots, onions and white wine; The Provencal pairs two poached eggs with red and green peppers, fresh tomatoes, zucchini, onions, garlic, and basil. If that isn't enticing enough try a healthy choice they offer yogurt, cranberry bread, muesli and a bowl of fresh berries. Pancakes are also offered as well as omelets and scrambled eggs.
There is no such thing as bad French bread and Le Cafe du Monde is no exception. A basket of wonderfully crisp rolls will appear on your table to keep your appetite under control while you wait for your main course.
Entree sizes are generous and the portions of the French fries quite huge. The ham sandwich is a magnificent creation of oozing cheese, sliced ham and mustard, very French and very delicious.
A full bar is available if you would like to enjoy a cocktail.
Le Cafe du Monde serves lunch and dinner Mon-Sat and brunch on Sunday morning.
