Bonne Journée from Crêpe Café

I've been looking for the perfect breakfast crêpe in Montreal for a long time. It hasn't been easy, but I think I've just found it. This treat is called "Bonne Journée" and comes from the kitchen of "Crêpe Café" - a small café that is named after what it makes best.

Inside the Bonne Journée, you'll find sausages (yes, the good kind), eggs, bits of bacon and some ham, all wrapped in a delicious crêpe with a side salad and fries. All that for $8.75.

The morning crêpe. See larger photo here. I've noticed Crêpe Café a few months ago - I think, it replaced a bookstore or something, but I've been putting off trying it partly because of what I believed to be a touristy location (Notre-Dame and Bonsecours in Old Montreal, barely two blocks away from Place Jacques-Cartier, which is of course one big tourist trap). Well, here's one more reason to let go of your prejudice occasionally.

Besides my favorite pictured above ("Bonne Journée"), the menu contains about two dozen crêpes of which I've also tried (and liked) Crêpe Suzette - apparently, one of the "hits" at this joint.

And, by the way, now that the tourist season is over, the café is not as crowded as before. So, venez nombreux!
