We have been to Cafe Lunette several times and the food was amazing, the breakfast today was just okay, we both had the breakfast special (eggs with pork belly), the toast and home fries were great but the pork belly was not what I expected, I expected it to be crispy but it was nowhere near that, eggs were just okay. The only meal that we had here that was not exemplary so maybe we should have gone for the eggs benedict??

Great service and delicious wine. Food was 6/10. Tough steak and overcooked salmon. Might have been what we ordered but wasn’t impressed I think brunch would be significantly better! The atmosphere is lovely and aesthetic 10/10.

The Beaujolais Nouveau (BN) event was not what was expected from the advertisement. There were only two BN wines from which to choose. One cost $5 per glass, the other $17 per glass. Knowing BN wines from past experience, I was hesitant to pay $17. However, it was excellent and worth $17. the other was worth the $5, and was a typical BN. There were 4 appetizers from which to choose and special to the evening. Only one was appealing to me. A dining companion enjoyed the ravioli. The rest of us chose from the main menu. There was no BN wine pairing per se. We may have enjoyed the experience more if we hadn't felt misled by the promotional information.

Bright, pleasant surroundings. French music. Wait staff all friendly and relaxed. My only complaint was that in a near empty restaurant with so many lovely places to sit, we were seated down in the back at the last table next to the washrooms. And then the tip machine presented us with choices for a tip that started at 18% on a $70 bill.
