Le Gros Jambon

Le Gros Jambon is situated in Old Montreal, at 286 Notre Dame West in Montreal.

It is a diner with a mixture of old school diner stuff and some 90s stuff.  It's offers diner fare, but with a twist...  They have breakfast, burgers, etc.

The prices, in my opinion, are a bit high for what one would get.  Yes, they have these home made potato pancake/hash browns...  And they offer a very unique fried chicken with waffle, which costs $16 + tax and tip, so in terms of a twist on the standard brunch fare, that's pretty good.

And that's where it stops.

Everything else is terrible.  I had horrible service, my server gave me attitude when I asked politely for a menu so that I could bring it to my seat with my friends (I arrived late).  The guy must have worked at Ben's Delicatessen before it closed down...

And on top of it, the coffee is not included in the already high prices for food.  You have to pay $1.95 (so $2) for a coffee...  I ordered the standard breakfast, two eggs with ham/sausage or bacon with hash browns and toast.  $11.

Not amused.  Save your money and go somewhere else.  Or only for special occasions - like on your birthday and you try the fried chicken with waffles...  Once.
