Before opening Ma'tine in 2014 Jérémy and Maxime Daniel-Six both worked at Micro Resto la Famille, a beloved (and pint-sized) restaurant in Montreal's Plateau neighbourhood. But, when the opportunity presented itself, Jérémy jumped at the idea of opening a larger restaurant in the Village.
“I've been living in this area for most of the six years I've been living here,” Jérémy says. “I like the neighbourhood. It's eclectic, you have a lot of different kinds of people.”
And so a new restaurant was born, with Jérémy in charge of the savoury dishes while Maxime makes the restaurant's mouth-watering pastries, quiches and breads, which are all made in the Ma'tine kitchen.
This restaurant, opened by the team from La Famille, has quickly earned a good reputation. It must be said that the neighbourhood's choices for breakfast and brunch were limited, but Ma'tine has improved that situation. Their constantly changing menu invites return visits to sample new creations, preferably on their terrace. They also offer savoury lunch dishes, accompanied by French wine, and a counter where you can buy desserts to take away.
Located on Boulevard De Maisonneuve Est, this French restaurant run by brothers Jeremy and Maxime Daniel-Six offers a constantly changing menu featured on a large slate hung on the wall. You can come for brunch or try their updated niçoise salad (with beans, anchovies and tuna pommade), then wash it all down with a cucumber lemonade. Why not?
