text: I have heard about Chez Bouffe from a friend who lives in Hochelaga for nearly a year before I finally got around to trying it myself Now all the praise I had heard was for the dinner service but my roommate had tried their brunch offerings and found them really good so off to Chez Bouffe we went on a SundaynnThe place itself is lovely the service was nice and their whole brunch menu looked very appetizing steak eggs friend chicken waffles scotch eggs mimosas yumnnI ordered the scotch egg sidedish I think they call them tapas and the fried chicken wafflesnnThe scotch egg was good a softboiled egg with a delicious deepfried chorizo crust around itnnThe fried chicken however was soggy The batter tasted of flour despite being a little spicy My dining companions fried chicken had batter that was in parts runny and wet nThis was NOT good fried chicken never mind being fried chicken that can compete with Triple Crown Dinettes my goto Southern food place in MontrealnThe waffle was alright and there was syrup and an onionbased gravy as well as some very tasty roasted shallots on top but even that failed to bring the dish above a meh nnThe portions were pretty big and I left very full but I was expecting better from Chez Bouffe nnI do plan to try Chez Bouffe again for dinner but I think they are off my list for brunch especially after hearing from a friend who is been for brunch quite a few times that the quality of the food dropped recently
