Brunch at Cornichon

What better way to spend a Sunday morning than by enjoying a hearty brunch with good company? That’s exactly what you’ll get at Cornichon, a friendly bistro-style restaurant in the Plateau where you can linger over your meal well into the afternoon. Though the menu doesn’t stray from the staples (the home fries are superb) you can bet on excellent fare like Eggs Benedict with salmon. Add a relaxed atmosphere (no matter how busy) and it’s like home, only better. — Sylvie Michelon
