Disapointed for breakfast. Pricey for the quality-there's much better breakfasts in this town.  THere were good things and bad things: \nGOOD:  1. Very well executed eggs benedict, with spinach.  Very subtle and elegant. Potatoes were perfectly salty and nicely crispy. \n2.  Pain perdu was wonderful with accompanying compote of cranberry which was not too sweet.  The creme fresche too.  \n3.  Great setting and decor.\n4.  Friendly service, if a bit lazy. Manager did not seem warm and welcoming. \nBAD: \n1.   Green tea was badly executed.  Maybe 3-4 grams for 400ML.  Temperature about 190.  That is terrible, and tasted terrible.  It was prepared with a paper tea bag-most tea drinkers know that paper tea bags leave residual bad flavors, and this one did.  Green tea is supposed to be executed between 150-180.  3-4 grams should be about 120-180ml. \nWaiter insisted that the second green tea was called \"crocetia\" a Japanese tea.  I told him that I didn't believe there was any such Japanese tea, and asked him to bring the bag over.  He refused at first, and insisted that it was indeed Crocetia.  He  later did bring the bag.  It was not crocetia but kokeicha.  I didn't know if it was \"formed\" tea or \"twig\" tea, so I decided not to order since I was getting a pretty typical Quebec \"I don't know and I'm not going ot find out experience\".  The genmai cha was week, tasted bad and smelled funny.  The manager had to be told to take it off the bill despite my telling him the tea was bad.  Also a typical Quebec experience. \n2.  The smoked salmon was supposedly made by an artisinal smoked salmon maker.  They need to find a better one.  Lemeac has much better salmon with real character.  Lawrence as well.  Both make their own.  This is a high end place and this salmon tasted almost as though they were trying to replicate a salmon that people who frequent ordinary delicatessens in New York might like.  It's color and texture were disapointing.  there wasnt' the firm waxy smoothness or the smokiness of a good Scottish or Norwegian style salmon.  It tasted like cheap deli nova which in NY mostly comes from the same provider.  It is too soft, a strange color and lacks firmness, smokiness and good flavoring. \n3.  Presentation-great except for a pooling of grease on our plate under the potatoes. \n4.  Didn't offer additional coffee-had to ask for my wife who had said, \"maybe they charge for additional coffee\".  \n5.  No bread provided-perhaps you have to order it and pay for it.  \n6.  Prices were high and the product was not as good as other less pricey restaurants for breakfast.\n7.  Manager had to be asked to take the tea off the bill-seemd a little testy about that.  Should have offered when I cgave him my comments.  Did not.  That is unacceptable in a restaurant like this.  \n8.  Bagel was hard and dry. \n9.  Cream cheese was nothign special.  Tasted almost like store bought Philadelphia brand, though it was grainier.  \n\nI think maybe Daniel has too many restaurants.  Ramsay has the same problem. If you come to Montreal, you better make sure your staff is not carrying around a lot of Montreal service habits.
