Cafe Au Temps Perdu

The café that time forgot might be retro in its décor (black and white floor tiles, exposed brick walls, red patio umbrellas), but its breakfast menu flawlessly combines old and new. In addition to the traditional full egg breakfast aptly named "The Traditional," Le Café au Temps Perdu also offers breakfast pizzas and grilled cheese sandwiches. Their breakfast poutine is just the thing after a night out.
