Le Cafe du Monde

Description:

• A longtime and entirely convivial eating venue, Café du Monde moved in 2002 to its current location adjoining Le Terminal de Croisières -- the cruise terminal. It's a rather large, Parisian-style space, seating more than 100 inside and nearly that number on a terrace overlooking the St. Lawrence River. The staff is as amiable as ever, the food a touch more creative but still within bistro conventions. The menu continues to feature classic French preparations of pâtés, duck confit, onion soup, smoked salmon tartare, and three versions of mussels with frites. Even on busy holiday weekends, brunch plates -- scrambled eggs with salmon, dill, potatoes, fruit, and a croissant -- are served fast and with a smile.
