“The service was quite good. Our waitress was very attentive and efficient, always making sure our coffee cups were topped-off etc .The food, although nothing to complain about, was only slightly better than average.With many similar breakfast restaurants around, it is hard to STAND OUT unless one innovates and keeps one step ahead of the competition ?“
“What's there not to like ? An evidently well-managed, well-staffed place by people who care.The place was welcoming, good ambiance, not loud and boomy despite being full on this saturday brunch. The service was just right, from the greeting at the door, to the waiter's great service throughout.The food was nice and hot, as was the coffee, and everything was evidently fresh. A nice place to enjoy brunch.“
“Classic dinner vibes, got the pancakes after seeing people raving about them and was surprised when I saw they had cottage cheese in them but they did not disappoint. Perfect pairing, absolutely delicious and will 100% be going back to try the brunch“
“Je vous recommande ce restos de quartier..Bouffe trad Quebecoise cuisinée style maison..De plus, le proprios est très sympathique et surtout passionné par l'art culinaire. Si vous êtes perdu dans le plateau et que la fringalle vous pogne..vous savez où aller cogner..“
“I’ve been coming here regularly for like ten years. Simple, easy, inexpensive breakfast with a super nice staff. It’s the same every time, can never go wrong. Shockingly, when it’s busy you may need to wait a little longer than usual.“
“A small hole in the wall place. It was much smaller inside than I thought. The staff working greeted us as soon as we walked in the door. They’re were attentive and friendly. The food was good. Loved the mashed potatoes. Food came out quickly. Besides the place being old and needing some reno, it was pleasant experience. We walked out stuffed!“
“Dropped by the Ville Lasalle location for breakfast food and service was outstanding was served by both Fotini and Kirstie they were both OUTSTANDING recommend you drop by and if you are lucky to be served by these two you will see what I mean job WELL DONE LADIES cannot wait to go back“
“Déjeuner de Woowww!!!! C’était Tellement mais TELLLLLLLLEMENT bonnnnn !!!! Tout était excellent!! J’ai pris l’assiette spécial Alpha et j’en ai eu plus que pour mon argent!! Les prix sont très abordables! L’assiette était super bien assemblée, la nourriture et la cuisson était parfaite! Le goût de Woowww ! Superbe accompagnement de fruits !! Ils ont pris la peine de mettre de beaux fruits qu’on ne voit pas ailleurs dans les autres restaurants. Très beau restaurant! Super propre et tout est « sa coche »! Super beau service en plus !! Bel accueil, souriant et attentionné! Félicitations! Vous faites vraiment une belle équipe!!“
“2024 dine in: attentive service, mushroom toast and Atlantic Benedict were well presented just needed a little salt. They really should replace their hanging sign since it's illegible. Excellent music.2022 Delivery: everything was simple but delicious. Got the French toast with blueberries bananas and cream, the almond mousse which was light and fluffy, matcha latte, and Bognettes which were nice and crispy.“
“What can we say about Bagel St-Lo! As soon as we arrive, we are greeted by smiling and helpful staff. The atmosphere is both warm and vintage, as soon as you walk through the door. Although I opted for takeout, I really would have liked to stay and enjoy the atmosphere there. And the bagels! Incredible! It's been a while since I've enjoyed such a fresh and delicious bagel. It literally melted in my mouth, offering an explosion of flavors. I also have to mention their lattes, which deserve an excellent rating! In short, a remarkable discovery in 2024. Thank you Bagel St-Lo!“

“I’ve tried many of the dishes and each time I am over the moon! You can feel the love in every bite. The atmosphere is cozy and the playlist is always perfect to set the vibe. The server Alejandro is absolutely wonderful. 10/10 would recommend!“
“We went to brunch on a Saturday morning on a whim and I don't regret it. First of all I would like to highlight Elliot’s impeccable service. A helpful, patient, courteous and smiling young man! It allowed us to have a lovely morning at the restaurant.In terms of atmosphere, the background music was very pleasant, I think it was a mix of old school R&B! Not too strong, just perfect.The caramel lattes were delicious, the breakfast poutine and the French toast were delicious! Perfect place to spend a beautiful, super cozy winter day! I highly recommend!?“
“Very good brunch restaurant! The menu changes every two months, so it creates a lot of variety. The food is excellent, as is the service. On the other hand, the restaurant is relatively small, so you have to arrive early otherwise the wait can be long.“
“This gem in Montreal is my absolute go-to for outstanding breakfast, striking that perfect note of Parisian flair minus the side-eye. But here's a heads-up: they don't do reservations but it's worth every minute you might spend waiting. Breakfast was beautiful and healthy fresh not hidden under a questionable mystery sauce. They even swapped out the heart attack-inducing white salt for Himalayan pink salt – who thinks of these details? Aex, the epitome of hospitality does! We'll be back.“
“excellent lunch the bacon is cooked perfectly, very good sausages, breakfast potatoes with marinated red onions, the French toast is the best I have eaten. The service is A1. I always take the GIANT.Parking: for sunny days there is an outdoor terrace“
“Pour moi : le meilleur brunch à Montréal et j’en ai testé pas mal. L’attente en vaut clairement la peine. L’accueil est très sympathique et au niveau de la carte je trouve qu’il y a un juste équilibre entre les classiques et des choses un peu plus travaillées et osées qu’on a pas l’habitude de voir en brunch dont des options végé délicieuses. Tout est réalisé à la perfection et ça reste abordable. Je reviendrai lors de ma prochaine visite :)“
“Paie pas de mine de l'extérieur mais vraiment recommandé par nos hôtes AirBnB du coup... et on est trop contentes de leur avoir fait confiance. Ambiance familiale, service avec le sourire (mention spéciale pour Marie et ses Docs), des plats copieux++ qu'on pense ne pas pouvoir terminer mais c'est tellement bon qu'on se dévoue. Excellent rapport qualité/prix. On a fini vers 9h30 et on n'a pas senti le besoin de remanger avant le soir APRES une séance de grimpe, on a économisé un dîner / snacks ! On y retourne parce que le menu est tellement complet on a eu du mal à choisir... Doesn't look like much from the outside but our AirBnB hosts strongly recommended it to we gave it a whirl. Family atmosphere, service with a small (special mention for Marie and her DMs), huge portions that you swear you'll never manage but it's all so tasty, you give it your best shot. Great value for money. We finished around 9h30 and didn't feel ready to eat until the evening AFTER a climbing session, so we saved on lunch / snacks! We're going back because we only skimmed the (vast) menu.“
“We discovered the egg maker for the first time on Saturday February 17, 2024.And simply AMAZING ?We were welcomed with kindness and professionalism by PEDRO who gave us our table and it was ANNA who took over and who took very good care of us and who gave us very good advice.The place is very clean, cozy, the perfect atmosphere for having a good brunch or breakfast ?We went there almost the entire week we stayed in Montreal and we discovered DAVID who also took very good care of us.Everything was perfect, we recommend the mountain egg maker without hesitation and we will come back to see you!YOU CAN GO THERE WITH COMPLETE SERENITY FOR YOUR BREAKFAST OR LUNCH ?see you soon Flora and Al ❤️“

“The best service at a breakfast spot I’ve had in a long time and great spot if you don’t want to cook breakfast at home.I got served by Donatien and him and his team were all amazing, my coffee and water were never empty and I was drinking a LOT.Only thing that was kind of funny was how the news was on TV and the whole time it was Gaza and political news. I didn’t care and thought it was funny but not the first thing I’d put on haha. Don’t blame them though it seemed pretty busy/chaotic and the team still did GREAT.I don’t usually write reviews but I came here after I ran 30k today and it REALLY hit the spot.“
“We thoroughly enjoyed our lunch, which was very generous in portions (tasty leftovers ?). They offer a very large food and drink menu, including excellent coffee, smoothies and juices. It would be a great place to eat with kids.Vegetarian options: They had a number of vegetarian options.Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly.Wheelchair accessibility: The washrooms are in the basement and are not wheelchair accessible.“
“Great brunch spot in the plateau. Has an old school diner vibe, with an open kitchen. Went with friends who had a classic breakfast plate, eggs Benedict on bagel. Portions were quite large and everything was delicious. Ordered a large latte and it was humongous! Be forewarned it’s not a regular cafe large size. I will say the staff were very friendly, but a bit short on the Sunday we were there. Arrived at 11, waiting about 5-10 minutes for a table. It took a while to take our orders, but the food arrived hot. Will go back for sure, but will go earlier :)“
“Ohhh but this lunch was way too good!I was hesitating between having the waffle and my usual omelette. The chocolate and banana waffle (*and* raspberries, blueberries and whipped cream) plus extra potatoes was an excellent choice. I recommend!In addition, very nice place, not pretentious, bright, radiant (yellow, interior and exterior walls), many seats, tables not too close together, efficient and very nice waitresses, reasonable prices.Thank you very much and see you next time :)“
“Phenomenal experience! Their small menu is a definite sign that they’ve perfected each dish. If you’re going, be sure to get their eggs Benedict. The hollandaise sauce was delicious and the potatoes were perfectly salted. I loved the dressing on the side salad as well, and the hot sauce they gave had a delicious fruity aroma. Just be prepared to wait, as it’s small and quite popular; they don’t take reservations. But we only had to wait 20minutes and the service was quick.“
“The best way to evaluate a place is a comfortable, nice welcome and a smiling face. Very friendly staff, you find yourself in a family atmosphere, everything is perfect, PÜR&SIMPLE, delicious breakfast varieties you want with the comfort of the day that you will enjoy... Delicious tastes that you can't get enough of... I'm glad today tooPURE&SIMPLE ???“
“I really liked my experience at Universel.We ate there for lunch, and it was really good. I found the portions generous and the ingredients quality. Really quite a bit of choice too.Special mention for our waitress Sarah who was perfectly helpful and very cheerful. That's always a big plus. Fast service too!In any case we will come back.“
“I absolutely adore this diner in Montréal! The spacious layout and ample seating make for a comfortable dining experience. The service is both prompt and welcoming, ensuring a quick turnover of tables. We indulged in the UNIVERSEL BREAKFAST, and the crepes and sausages were definite highlights - bursting with flavor and perfectly cooked. The generous portions left us thoroughly satisfied, and the option to personalize the crepes with favorite fruits was a delightful touch. Overall, a fantastic dining experience that guarantees my return on my next trip to Montréal.“

“Bonjour ! 3e visite. Les assiettes sont bien remplis. Pain doré érable & banane flambé goûte le ciel. 9 juin, serveur sympathique. La musique donnait une belle ambiance. Excellente place à déjeuner, choix varié & santé. Merci d'être là.“
“Ate two meals here on a recent trip to Montreal. The Beyond Meat Sausage were perfectly cooked, and the crepe delightfully smooth and tasty. A nice hot cup of black tea and friendly service in both languages rounded out a delicious experience.Vegetarian options: Vegan options of Beyond Meat Sausage. Note, the arugula salad came with parmesan on top, easy to dismiss.“
“The food is delicious, the place is pleasant and the people who serve do so in a friendly and dedicated manner. Thank you Cora for taking such good care of my daughter, her friend and me!Vegetarian options: I would like them to expand the vegetarian menu“
“J’ai pris le Pain Perdu et mon mari a pris le Croque Miroir. Les deux étaient très savoureux avec une très belle présentation. Le romarin et les pommes sur le pain brioche avec la sauce était décadent. Le restaurant a un caractère chaleureux et unique avec son décor.Le personnel est très gentil et amical. Le chef est drôle et sympathique.Ce fut une belle expérience.“
“I recently stumbled upon Orange Cafe, a charming breakfast spot with both a cozy and bustling ambiance. Their menu is deliciously diverse, offering a variety of options to choose from. The service is attentive, and the welcoming atmosphere makes it an ideal place to kickstart your day.“
“March 26, 2024. We reserved for breakfast with a group of 25. We were not expecting others, but in all, we were 49 people! Hats off to the 2 chefs, the manager, Carole, and the smiling and patient waitresses. Food was great, menu has variety! Everyone was pleased! Thank-you Eggsquis (Delson) and to the staff and personnel!??“
“Je voulais sincèrement vous remercier pour votre service exceptionnel Annie et William. Ma conjointe et moi étions très satisfaits de notre service et de notre délicieux déjeuner. Nous recommandons l'endroit où vous aurez droit à un excellent service. Merci à toute votre belle gang!“
“The best Allo mon Coco you could find in Montreal. Received the 2023 Leader Ambassador Award! A close-knit team that has been there for a long time. They are not frugal with the quantity on the plates and their Lavender smoothie tastes like Lavender!“
“Great place with so many options for breakfast/brunch. The staff is very nice and always ready to bring you what you need. I ordered the Greek style Eggs Benedict with Rye Toast instead of English muffin and it was absolutely delicious. This place was packed and now I can see why…I am totally going back ?“
“Very good place, well located, a stone's throw from rue Ste Catherine, to taste egg-based cuisine, the menu is varied, the dishes are copious. The waitresses are friendly and attentive, I recommend ?Kid-friendliness: Yes, there is a special menu for children“
“The food was pretty good and served quickly. We weren't rushed to leave. The biggest issue for me was how loud it was in the restaurant. Due to the high ceilings, it made it much louder.The staff was friendly although I felt bad as there was two people clearly out of town from France possibly due to their accent which definitely wasn't Quebecois who kept complaining about their food and or service when in reality nothing was wrong.Would return in the future!“
“Such an amazing selection of brunch options, makes it hard to choose a dish. Always leave the restaurant feeling satisfied. Staff is really friendly and service s really quick. Have been to this restaurant many times and never had a meal that I didn’t like. Portions are always generous. Definitely recommend.“

“Ambiance décontractée et décor ludique tout à fait appropriés pour un petit-déjeuner / brunch de cet acabit (ça me change des brunches chez Boulud). Consistance dans la quantité et qualité des plats proposés depuis maintenant plusieurs années. Ma visite à la succursale du boulevard St-Laurent (coin Ave. Mont-Royal) a été marqué par une chose en particulier; la courtoisie et l’efficacité du service dispensé par un personnel attentif, charmant et très avenant qui tranche misérablement avec une hôtesse qui devrait être affectée, loin des contacts clients, à la plonge! Cette pauvre enfant semble éprise d’une sérieuse neurasthénie pathologique qui, selon moi, mérite une impérieuse attention (médicale ou autre). Malgré mon invitation à ce qu’elle arbore un sourire professionnellement cordial, au risque de nuire à une quelconque gerçure et à compromettre son regard de vaches qui regardent passer des trains, son comportement rédhibitoire s’est ajouté à sa triste prestation. En tant qu’ex-professionnel dans l’industrie hôtelière de luxe, en y songeant bien, cette employée ne mériterait même pas la plonge, mais plutôt la porte. Mais bon, il y a des employeurs qui aiment peut-être ça! Pas moi. Dommage pour les autres formidables employé-e-s de l’établissement; c’est une tache sur une toile blanche.“
“From time to time most restaurants experience issues with quality control, but I can honestly say that all the times I have ventured into Peddlers for breakfast, they have been perfect! What I've ordered is always exactly what I wanted, leading me to a dining experience that never let's me down. If I had anything to complain about it's the fact that they won't give me the secret to the potatoes they offer with breakfast. They are the best tasting potato sides I've ever experienced! Peddlers is a hidden gem hiding in plain sight on Newman Blvd in LaSalle“
“Belle découverte pour un brunch dans ce bistro super sympathique à l'image du personnel, dont notre serveuse Manon. Beaucoup de choix au menu déjeuner, dîner et table d'hôte. Les portions sont généreuses, les plats sont très bien présentés et servis avec un beau montage de fruits frais. C'était un pur délice au juste prix!. Merci encore Manon pour ton accueil chaleureux et ton service personnalisé qui est remarquable. On se sentait à la maison. Première visite et non la dernière.“
“Je suis venue déjeuner ce matin avec mon chum, vraiment super et service rapide. Un gros merci à la serveuse qui a complimenté mes tresses auprès de mon chum (il me l’a dit après être sortit du restaurant), c’est assez rare de recevoir des compliments des autres, alors merci tu as fait ma journée ❤️“
“Still remains my favorite restaurant on Bernard. While prices went up everywhere, at least you leave here without feeling cheated. Never had anything but the nicest service. And if most of the food choices are rather simple... they are good and I like them.“
“Brunch excellent. J’ai commandé des œufs bénédictines faits avec du jambon fait maison, un véritable délice. Mon copain a commandé un bagel au saumon, saumon également fumé maison. Nous étions initialement un peu sceptique vis à vis du prix, qui est un poil plus élevé qu’un brunch classique dans la zone, mais nous nous sommes rapidement rendus compte de la qualité de la nourriture. Le prix en vaut la chandelle.“
“Love this little restaurant, great prices on food. Great good but their breakfast potatoes could use a little spice, that's just my preference. Great cup of coffee too.The servers are friendly and always get the order right and are fast.“
“First time at this place, price is similar as many others breakfast places. Food is ok, everywhere I go, I order 2 eggs and chocolate pancake. That's the way I could compare. So, no chocolate inside the pancake, very disappoint, if I want it it's an extra. And 2 eggs bacon, the other plate. It was ok but potato, not crazy. I should put 3 stars but I will put 4 because our waitress was nice, the asian woman.“
“From our side, everything was perfect! There were 14 of us and everyone really enjoyed their lunch. Friendly welcome, fast and courteous service, generous portions. Never wait for coffee service. As good as the other Eggsquis. Specials for early risers.“
“Great little spot, friendly staff…the owner was very involved with service, chatting with customers and able to help with the language barrier. We ordered poutines and crepes…both were amazing! Would recommend for a quick and simple meal.“
“Walked in and it was hopping as per usual. However i noticed the wait staff at the front drop a set of cutlery from the basket they grab al table cutlery from on the floor and then put it back with the rest that were clean. Luckily ours were picked up prior to this but i felt out of place saying something regarding what i saw in person. The food was delicious but it makes me wonder what else staff does that is not up to health safety standards ? probably wont be going back to this location after this.“
“My first experience with a French breakfast. The manager was very helpful in helping us decide what to order, the recommendations were on par and the quality of the food surpassed our expectations. Our server was attentive and helpful and provided excellent service. The food and service went far beyond our expectations!“
