“I am picky about my poached eggs and these are always cooked to perfection. The bacon is crisp and the breakfast club (“l’Eggxoclub”) is perfect. Manon, the waitress, greets you with a smile and is very kind and efficient. I highly recommend l’Eggxotic !“
“Nous avons organisé l’anniversaire de ma fille dans la salle bar semi-privée, la nourriture était délicieuse et nous avons reçu un excellent service. C’est un espace fantastique pour organiser des événements, je recommande fortement!“
“The dining room floor was really dirty...several days without having broomed or washed because there were several residues of leftover food and sticky, I was disappointed with my order, I took the chocolate banana and strawberry crepe, but I asked for no strawberries....I received a dry and extra crispy crust with a tiny portion of banana and a quarter of orange without more, the crepe was not half the size of the plate. I made the comment to the waiter, who was just apologetic, and I had to pay $16 for this dish....saddening.“
“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..“
“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.“
“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!?“
“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.“
“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 ❤️“
“After trying all the lunch places in the area and some elsewhere. We always come back to this hello my coco. We eat well and above all it’s super quick. We really appreciate it. Congratulations to Gabrielle, Olivier and the whole team. See you soon !“
“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.“
“Service was very friendly and efficient. Meals were prepared really quickly. Servings were excellent! The chai smoothie was a little too spicy for my taste - which I took for in the car - otherwise thoroughly enjoyed my breakfast here. Also the rose bush outside was in full bloom.“
“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 :)“
“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.“
“We had a private children's party at this location.We were very well received, the cold buffet was excellent and the quantities were more than generous. The dish choices are original and they are super open to adapting the menu to our needs. The staff were very friendly, attentive, flexible and efficient.We felt that the children were welcome and we were able to do special activities to mark the event without problem.This will certainly not be the last event at this location.We honestly had a memorable evening thanks to the creperie team.We recommend without hesitation, you will be well served and you will enjoy it!Kid-friendliness: Yes!! They have high chairs, booster, changing table and staff who clearly appreciate children.“
“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.“
“Smiling and welcoming service with coffee served promptly.Very successful eggs Benedict (spinach and Swiss cheese), good dose of béchamel sauce and English muffin bread well cooked and not soggy with the sauce! In short, very successful! THANKS“
“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.“
“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 food and service are excellent. Taking inflation into account, the prices are affordable for the quality. A small downside; a little too much echo, despite the presence of acoustic tiles on the ceiling. Paper the walls up to a third of the way up and it will be almost perfect. A door with motorized opening would be very appreciated by people in wheelchairs, as would a wall bar in the bathroom.“
“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“
“We loved the experience.For my part it was the first time and not the last.We were a group of 24 people and I know it's not easy especially since we were from the same family and from all over Quebec it was a reunion for many.Bravo for your patience especially to Cassandra who served us throughout the dinner.The food was delicious and especially different from lunch restaurants.I took the Croque family,Mushroom, brie and green onions. A wonderful discovery for me, my mouth is still watering.I highly recommend ?❤“
“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.“
“I absolutely love having my Sunday brunch here. Great portions and always super friendly, quick service.Update: I have a new favorite... avacado and bacon eggs Benedict on an english muffin. Yum! This time I went on a Saturday and there was a line, but the wait wasn't too long.“
“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 ❤️“
“In my opinion, everything is perfect except for one detail! The breakfast sausages which are undercooked and too fatty and turn your heart upside down and also for the love of God we really should make an exit door because when there is a line to get in it's not easy to get through to get out! Otherwise everything is perfect! I really recommend this restaurant!“
“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.“
“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.“
“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.“
“went there on Monday the 3rd of Febwe were staying across the street at the Best WesternHad a late breakfast, the eggs benedict with smoked salmon.it was delicious and the staff was so friendly!I will definitely visit again the next time Im in town.:)“
“Si je pouvais donner 10 étoiles ⭐️L’ambiance est super conviviale, familiale! Le service est personnalisé et amical. La nourriture ? wow super frais et tellement bon !Le staff est super et la patronne aussi ! Super invitant !Je recommande fortement !“
“(resto st-julie) warm atmosphere, appetizing food, service... we arrived at the place around 11:30 am, we left around 2:30 pm, not without waiting. between the moment we received the invoice and the moment when the waitress named Chantal made us pay was a minimum of 30 minutes and then the waitress BITCHED at us afterwards since some people in our group had not given a tip . in short she clearly didn't deserve 15%“
“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.“
“Marc-André from l’Œuvriez de Ste-Julie gave us excellent service! We received our delicious dishes super quickly and the portions were perfect.Even their hand washing system impressed our kids (and us to be honest).Welcoming for families and easy parking.“
“I have been coming awhile !Mariela (waitress) offers a BEYOND amazing Service !She is always polite, with a smile, offering a prompt, efficient Service -with her good Menu suggestions,in case if one needs to have questions answered on the Menu!Decent prices, good service, fresh food!Fresh coffee - always served here ! - and a variety of options to chose from;for family, dates, children,Breakfast, lunch - and moreover !A pleasure to drink coffee in a clean and nice environment with friendly Staff.- Thank you girls, and thank YOU again, Mariela !Always a pleasure !* Overall, my family, my Mom, my friends and I we all always enjoy coming here; it is beyond a Service !Cu guys guys, Bon Appétit ! ☕️???❤️?Blagodarya, Efharisto, Thank You, Merci.?“
“Our go to breakfast restaurant. Typical expected breakfast food. Fair prices, friendly staff who often know English (or make a great effort) for me (the 1 anglophone in the family) we have tried other local places for variety but were disappointed and no longer go anywhere else“
“My partner and I decided to have a romantic breakfast date.The ambiance was perfect - it was not too busy, creating a lovely atmosphere.Now, when it comes to the service, it was a bit of a mixed bag. Our orders were taken quickly, and the food arrived promptly. However, it would have been nice if our server had checked in on us to ask how we were doing and if we were enjoying our meal. That personal touch was missing, but it didn’t overshadow the overall experience.I ordered the Eggs Benedictine, and my boyfriend opted for the scrambled eggs. The eggs were perfectly cooked, and we both enjoyed them. However, the one downside was the salmon, which was excessively salty, making it challenging to finish. That was a bit disappointing considering the overall quality of the meal.On a brighter note, we tried the homemade kiwi juice, and it was a delightful surprise. The juice was not only delicious but also a refreshing departure from the usual offerings. It’s evident that they put thought into their beverages.In summary, our romantic breakfast date had its ups and downs. The restaurant’s ambiance and the quality of the eggs were highlights, but the overly salty salmon and the lack of personal interaction from our server left room for improvement. Nevertheless, the homemade kiwi juice was a standout, and we left with a mix of positive and constructive feedback.Vegetarian options: YesParking: Grocery store parking shared plenty of placeKid-friendliness: Booster seatWheelchair accessibility: Yes“
“What was once of the seediest little diners with an eye opening (#1) twist, the charm of Les Princesses of Horchelaga has somehow made it to nearly two decades. One of the most controversial businesses to grace this part of the city, it has stood the test of time all while serving up solid diner fare to the community / tourists alike. For a long time, this was a must visit venue for the various bachelor parties that I would lead in the area. The funniest part of watching men that are half hungover from bar / club hopping the night before perk up as they get their orders taken by the scantily clad staff. The real surprise? The food. It was more than just palatable and it certainly held its own compared to the gimmick that this place was offering. On top of it all, it was stupid cheap. Most things were under $10 and I was all about that $5 breakfast plate and $3 sandwiches. For establishments like this, the food typically takes a back seat. Now that the entertainment portion is over and the inflation, I imagine the prices have skyrocketed to new heights. Speaking of the crowds (or lack thereof) It wasn't just men parading the joint, but I would occasionally see families with young children as well. (#2) I can't comment on progressiveness per se, but I can already see why Montreal (and the rest of Canada) has more than just a leg up (#3) on US society. __________ (#1) And perhaps jaw dropping one too. (#2) Two words: Portland, Oregon. (#3) Punny day.“
“Petinos is a great brunch place, I really enjoy it. It is my number one place to go if I want a good breakfast meal. The portion has a good size, and the coffee is pretty good. I have tried many Petinos, but the one next to the outlet is one of my favorites. Way to go Petinos, stay with this good service and food. I will go back and I recommend it.“
