For Montrealers, the brunch culture is omnipresent. On the weekends, it is not uncommon to see people waiting in line at their favorite restaurant waiting to eat a delicious brunch.
Did you know that the term brunch comes from the contraction between "breakfast" and "lunch"? This meal is for all those late mornings that we all like to have on the weekend.
New to the brunch concept are the bottomless mimosas (all you can drink), high-end buffets, and fusions combining different types of cuisine.
Here is a selection of restaurants to add to your list of best places to visit in Montreal, Laval, and the South Shore!
