When I asked for fresh waffles, the waiter told me to come back at 9am next time. The one that I had was at least 2 hours old and yes, it was soggy and cold. What a service-oriented response that was! It only takes 2-3 minutes making fresh waffles and I could not believe how audacious the waiter was. I guess I had high expectations going to cafe Medina, as I love going to Chambar. It was total disappointment and it ruined my Saturday brunch. Besides having paid about 3 bucks for chewy and old piece of waffles, we also had to wait so long to be attended. NEVER AGAIN.

[...] so much the better. Not very surprising then that I’ve had my eye on Cafe Medina since the idea of it was whispered to the Internet. I’m a fan of anything the House of Chambar does, and even without a kitchen I’m happy [...]

Just went to the ’soft’ opening. Unbelievable coffee & waffles! Super decor & ambience. It’s a winner!
Congratulations to the trio.

Medina – A quaint new cafe next to Chambar, serving coffee for connoisseurs and liege waffles for sweet sustenance.

Medina will open this Monday ever so quietly, while we work out what else to serve in a coffee shop with Liege waffles. Any suggestions or recommendations would be grateful. We will be open fro breakfast & lunch in June at the latest as we wait for tenants behind us to move out.
The space will be used in the evening as a private function room for Chambar, and in the summer will host kids once a week, so parents can enjoy a meal next door at Chambar.

Hi zy-xin,

anyone interested in a lifesize TINTIN bust, previously of Paris address, and comes with a summer straw hat and a winter fur cap…
price negotiable, but includes enormous sentimental value…
[maybe the new restaurant will be interested??...I am open to exchanging TINTIN for Nico as my personal chef anytime!]

I remember a great little restaurant in Old Montreal that was full of Tintin motives. Could be a nice touch for the new digs.

How about “Asterix”? If the food kicks as much ass as this little guy does, then they will be laughing all the way to la banque! ;-P
