    Bijou has a very delighting buffet breakfast (Brunch) that has a good variety of choices. The service is very good. The best value proposition is that Bijou is the best option ot eat at the Montreal Trudeau Airport. For departing travellers, it is way better than anything past the filters. For arriving travellers, if someone is picking you up, this is a great way to wait in case of delay. If you spend over $75 you get free Valet parking. Considering that Parking in Montreal Trudeau is at the very least 24$ for +10 minutes and can run up to $36 , it is not bad. Now if you add that given current repairs, any Parking is extremely far from the Terminal, this becomes the best option. But the food and amibience is very agreeable.
