Formerly known as Monty's, this once greasy spoon café has reinvented itself into a shiny new restaurant. It's worth the walk west out of Hamilton to see why this charming spot is a firm favorite with locals and tourists alike. The atmosphere is casual and the prices affordable. Recommended starters are crab cakes or fish chowder with sherry pepper sauce. For dinner, make the most of the local fish, cooked to your liking. What's more, you'll never go hungry as it's open all day, every day, serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The portions are a healthy size and the knowledgeable staff will keep you entertained. An easy-listening live duo also performs at dinner on Friday nights.

Visited this past Easter weekend. Doorman at the Hamilton Princess Hotel advised us that "Monty's" had changed it's name to "Bouchee's". New name for the past month or so. Our waiter advised that the restaurant (still the same owners) was planning to change the menu a bit to reflect a French theme. Was hoping for a Bermudian breakfast, but menu was typical breakfast fare...eggs, omelettes, french toast, etc. Requested an egg white omelette and eventhough not on the menu, my request was accommodated. Orange juice was fabulous...freshly squeezed...lots of pulp. Friendly service, though the wait staff could be a bit more attentive. Breakfast for three about $60 US including the 18% included gratuity.
