Allô mon Coco is described across reviews as a place with a bright new setting and a strong breakfast vibe, but opinions are split on portion size and value, with some noting smaller portions while prices stayed the same. Service is praised in several visits for friendliness and attentiveness, though other experiences report rude or slow service, mistakes with orders, and delays even when the restaurant is not very busy. Food quality ranges from excellent breakfast dishes and generous portions to complaints about burnt eggs, cold potatoes, missing items, and meals that do not live up to expectations. Ambiance and cleanliness vary, with some enjoying a clean, welcoming environment and others describing worn seating and dirty bathrooms. Opening hours are praised in some reviews for starting the day earlier than nearby competition, but that benefit is not universal. Across the board, many customers would return for breakfast and the overall menu, yet a number of reviews urge improvements in service consistency, portion sizing at some locations, and upkeep of the dining area.
Feb 18th 230 pm & they can't make me an order of potatoes to go...no excuse, bad service means I'm going out of my way to visit their competitors when we do family brunch until maybe one day returning to an Allo Mon Coco location.
The boy host looked like he had no management. Just a kid in jeans staring at his phone.
I was at the restaurant a few days ago. It had been a long time since I last went, & I remembered a delicious breakfast. To my surprise, the food was very bad. It's not the same as before the bacon was black & extremely burnt, & the mashed potatoes were horrible. On top of that, everything was served cold, & the waiter provided poor service. The quality is not the same anymore. My last experience was very bad.

The service was ok but mediocre. Had to repeat our order, received wrong items. Asked for mash got cubed. Everything was cold. Potatoes were cold & our chai lattes were just under warm. Very disappointed.
I always come here to eat breakfast with my grandmother. I recently had a surgery that doesn't allow me to eat much. I wanted a kid's meal portion, which was refused & I understood. (I even showed my medical card) The waiter was rude about it. I then ordered an adult sized meal. We got our meals & the potatoes & the bread weren't what we ordered. Our coffee & water wasn't being filled. As we waited for the bill, the owner came out to talk to us. We are grown adults & understand that I couldn't order a kids' portion. We didn't need the owner to come out & rehash & defend the issue. It was uncalled for & he was very unfriendly. The food was already ordered & end of story. He also asked us about the waiter & what exactly was said. We said nevermind, we just wanted to pay & get out of there because the whole atmosphere was negative & uncomfortable. He left our table & we waited for the bill. Our waiter came without a word & dropped the payment machine & bill on the edge of the table & walked away. Not even looking at us or handing it to us. I have never been so disappointed in service. My grandmother is 79 years old & we always come here to eat together. We will never come back.
Pros: Monday to Friday, if you go early enough, they have an early bird special menu that's inexpensive. Portions are large. Free coffee refills. Breakfast potatoes (cubed or mashed) are tasty. Cons: The urinal in the handicap washroom is overflowing with urine. When it rains, the restaurant is riddled with buckets to catch the water from the leaky ceiling.
First of all, you get greeted by a sweatpants wearing teenager who graciously makes time for you by stopping her social media for a few minutes. She is wearing tennis sneakers & looks like she just came back from gym class. We are offered the worst seats in the busiest location (where there should not even be a table, frankly) & when we ask to be seated in one of the many empty tables she says it is reserved, but no one is there at 2 pm (& no one show up there the entire time we ate!). We get seated at a high table, order & the food arrives quickly. But, no utensils & no check on us (you know, the usual "is everything to your liking..") despite the fact that we are clearly not eating. Finally, I request utensils & the missing toast (no butter, please). The utensils arrive immediately but the toast is drenched in butter. Frankly, the entire experience was something that felt like a fancy McDonalds. Kids for staff who have no experience & lots of plastic decor. If I am to spend almost $50 bucks on two coffees, a breakfast plate & 1 side of potatoes (fancy & yummy, I must admit), I would rather go elsewhere. It was just not worth the value. Fifty bucks & I only ordered 1 full meal (2 eggs, a smallish dessert crepe, & forgettable extras on the side). In summary, I like the food at this place, but the experience (service & ambience) & the bang for the buck is just not there.
We went to a different Allô mon Coco last weekend & that experience was completely different & for the type of restaurant they are, a 5 star brunch experience. This Allô mon Coco is much more of a cold & plain environment with people walking by in the mall being noisy & loud. The food was much different with no seasoning at all, not fresh & you can tell it was sitting around for a while in the kitchen. The Crispy Chunk breakfast potatoes weren't crispy, had NO SEASONING at all & were almost still raw & cold. Green onions on things they aren't supposed to be on or described in the item list & everything was tasteless. On top of that the staff were very standoffish & almost rude. Definitely wouldn't return or recommend this location.

They changed their recipe for there mash potatoes witch I find not to my liking,,,Overall its really good Ive been a client for the past 20 years to many locations.
We been going to Allo Mon Coco Cote-Vertu for the last 4 years ones or twice a week for breakfast before starting to work. Even during the covid, we use to go there for take out. always been amazing. But I don't know what happen during the last year... Now, we only go ones a week. The cube potatoes are never really hot, Bacon you have to be lucky as well. Eggs are always good. BUT THE TOAST, you always feel like they put the all bread in the toaster & they put butter as they need it. Its very disappointing. What happen? Did they changed the cook? the way of doing things? anyway, I guess its time for us to try another place.
