Restaurant Parthenon

Parthenon is GREAT if you know what to order. It’s been my go-​to brunch place on IDS since I’ve lived here for 20 years! One customer posted that the manager was not too warm with customers and that’s true! Some of the staff though (there’s one gentleman in particular who’s been there forever) is super-​pleasant and very accommodating. The brunches (especially the omelettes) are delicious and the portions very generous. For lunch, I HIGHLY recommend the veggie sub. It’s HUGE and comes with a ton of fries and it’s really yummy. It’s a very share-​able dish as well. Their lox platter comes with a (real) bagel (none of those Tim Horton’s wannabe cakey things), cream cheese and butter on the side and a salad with your choice of dressing. Great stick-​to-​your-​ribs fare any time of day!

It was the only thing open around 9:40 PM. I ordered the Surf and Turf and it was just ok, not super flavorful, but since I was really hungry and out of choices it got the job accomplished.

Average food, average to poor service, manager is not friendly to customers and doesn’t seem to care about reputation. Well here’s my opinion.

Went there like 10 times during my business trip in Montréal. Great brunch/​breakfast during the week-​end but their espresso is the worst in Nuns Island.
Waiters are very nice and well organized. Clean tables and comfortable seating. On the other hand, the restrooms are located outside the restaurant and shared with the mall clients (and they look like hospital restrooms).

Our destination for brunch when we stop on Nuns Island, Montréal. Nothing special about the food but reliable. The patio is quite nice on a summer’s evening.

I am a big fan — their delivery service is SOOOOO quick! As well, the place is extremely child friendly. The food is decent and decently priced!
Their service is great and they recently renovated and it looks much better now.

What doesn’t kill you make you stronger?
Seriously the place is decent, no real speciality but they get the job done. Perfect for lunches.
The pizza is popular.
the place to be on fridays for a lot of workers on the island.
