Across reviews, Petinos in Montreal North is praised for delicious food, generous portions and a welcoming, attentive service that many describe as warm and personal. Dishes like the potatoes and house-made spanakopitas are repeatedly highlighted as standouts, with omelettes and other breakfast plates consistently well prepared and easy to customize with a variety of spreads and condiments. The atmosphere blends mid-century modern decor with a cozy, homey brunch vibe, and the space is widely regarded as family-friendly with a lively but friendly energy; however, noise levels can be quite high during peak hours and some guests note that the open-plan layout makes conversations difficult. The staff are commonly described as bilingual, efficient, and accommodating, though a few isolated service hiccups are mentioned. Prices are seen as generally fair, with many calling it the best breakfast option in the area and a place they plan to return to, while a couple of reviews suggest there could be more kid-friendly options on the menu. Overall, Petinos delivers consistently strong quality and a welcoming experience that keeps guests coming back.View restaurant profile

Reviews about Viva panettone show a mix of glowing praise and notable frustrations. Some praise the maple panettone as absolutely delicious and even the best in the world, while the large chocolate version is described as very dry and lacking flavor for the price. The new stollen is reported as extremely dry and hard after the first bite, and some feel that selling it as a tender brioche is misleading. Other comments celebrate moelleux textures and strong flavor, with many noting the products as very good and highly recommended. A preference for the Italian panettone over the French version is mentioned, with the latter described as too dry. In recent months the panettones are described as drier, and feedback from customers reportedly goes unanswered. When a mistaken order is corrected with a coupon, the value is said not to cover the full order, leaving some customers feeling undervalued. Overall, experiences vary, ranging from very positive experiences and strong recommendations to disappointment over texture and service.View restaurant profile

Restaurant Deli Phaistos is widely praised as the best deli diner in town, with reviewers noting that it stands apart from places that charge absurd prices for tiny portions by offering unbelievably large plates at fair prices. The submarine sandwich is so big it barely fits on the plate, and the smoked meat is described as decadent with excellent, attentive service. A consistently positive impression is formed of the staff, with remarks about impeccable service without naming any individuals. In short, the place comes highly recommended. The smoked meat is hailed as the best in town by far, and lunches are very good with the poutine also earning praise. Portions are generous, prices are honest, and service remains fast even during peak hours, making it a true hidden gem at Place Bourassa for a hearty and comforting meal. A minor drawback is that the draft beer can sometimes be flat or lack freshness. Overall, it is hard to find better in the area. Some notes mention a closure in January followed by improvements and a reopening with nearly the same servers, along with extra praise for the breaded chicken plate and homemade chicken strips described as wow.View restaurant profile
