    Wonderful for brunch! Food is always delicious, servers are very attentive and friendly, vibe is like a European bistro, casual, fun and all around great experience. Omelette is outstanding! Bloody Mary, Mimosa and Hamburger were great too! Onion Soup is the best I've had! Love this place

    I love the casual and friendly ambiance of this place. Staff are consistently offering a warm welcome at the door and impeccable service. I tried the duck confit for the first time - it was perfectly cooked, crispy skin and melt in your mouth meat. I usually order the sea bass because it’s so wonderful- it’s going to be tough to decide on future! And last but not least the pot de crème with a glass of Jurançon was a delicious way to finish a perfect evening.

    I love Café Colline for dinner. But brunch was a letdown. Dinner is consistently delicious and there’s a great vibe to the restaurant. The food at brunch was so bland. Omelette with Gruyère and herbs but no flavor. The fries had no flavor. The onion soup was hot (the cheese) but lukewarm inside and tasted very sugary. The salmon tartine was tasty but just a slab of bread with the salmon and a poached egg & some pickled onion. For almost $20 it could have had a few salad leaves and dressing. We will try the café again for dinner at some point but not spend the money on brunch.
