Sunny's Dinette

"Brunch isn’t just a weekend occurrence at all-new Sunny’s, which replaces Le Bon Vivant in Little Burgundy. All week long, the diner-inspired spot is serving eggs Benedict (with braised ham and Emmental cheese), bagels and lox, pancakes topped with whipped mascarpone and strawberry compote, and no-nonsense platters of eggs, potatoes, and choice of breakfast meat. Pair your pick with a cocktail — there are bellinis, mimosas, or the Sunshine, with vodka, orange and pineapple juice, and turmeric." - JP Karwacki, Valerie Silva

"Griffintown, from Lunch to Late Night Griffintown sits outside the well-beaten tourist path, to the west of the museums and shopping on Sherbrooke (and so even farther west from Old Montreal ). If you make the journey, you'll find a residential neighborhood which is enjoying a renaissance. Much of that translates into new condo projects, but along with them are new boutiques and restaurants, including Le Bon Vivant which opened at the end of August 2014. This restaurant which is open for breakfast until late at night (till 10, Monday to Wednesday, and till 11, Thursday to Sunday) has already attracted a following with crostini, sandwiches and other simple dishes heavy on roast meats and vegetables. All are served in a space that embodies the design trend of the moment, complete with poured concrete floors, a chalkboard wall with the daily specials, and an abundance of Edison bulbs. The menu successfully pulls off a fusion of Québécois and other cuisines from around the world with the kitchen faltering only once—the bread pudding was a dry disappointment."
