Review Summary

Reviews describe Beautys Luncheonette as a Montreal institution with an old school diner vibe, beloved for its classic breakfast fare, fluffy pancakes, bagels, the Beauty's Special bagel with lox, and hearty dishes like Mish Mash, while the nostalgic atmosphere and friendly service are highlighted when experiences go smoothly. The place is praised for consistency, lively energy, and the sense of history that shows in the crowds and decor, though wait times on weekends are common. However, opinions on value and portions vary: some argue pricing is high for relatively simple plates or smaller portions, and a few meals arrive with minimal sides or ingredients, making certain dishes feel less worth the cost. Service quality is also mixed, with many reviews noting warm, attentive staff and others recounting unprofessional attitudes or rushed seating as lines form. Despite these differences, Beautys Luncheonette is widely regarded as a must visit for breakfast lovers and a nostalgic Montreal icon, offering iconic items and a memorable, busy dining experience that reflects its long standing presence in the city.

I had picked up my daughter & friends at the Berri bus station one day at 7am & figured it would be nice to treat them so we all went to Beauty's, known as the famed breakfast institution where one might rub elbows with movie stars working on location.

I ordered only 1 coffee. The 3 girls ordered breakfast with all the trimmings. I had to go across the street & get some cash because they would not take any credit cards (maybe it's changed today). The final bill came to about $70 tip included.

I find this exorbitant & was sorry it was too early in the morning because I would have gladly taken them to the Ritz known for their Eggs Benedict.

Service was so-so.

Too bad many restaurateurs gain acceptance & fame & then only rely on their reputation thereafter.

J'ai fréquenté le resto Beauty's durant plusieurs années au cours des 1990 & plus particulièrement en 1992 4 matin semaine &, comme je n'y était pas retourné depuis environ 10 ans je suis tombé des nues. Plus rien à voir avec le bon vieux Beauty's. Les oeufs brouillés qui sont présentés en omelette, les pommes de terre rissolées n'ont pascla même saveur & le bacon infecte. Que s' est-il donc passé avec les bonne vieillescrecettes & l'ambiance de ce must de Montréal Définitivement malheureux car di les anciens clients sont honnêtes & non snobs, ils admettront que ce n'est plus à la hauteur de la réputation pour ne pas dire que ce fut une institution.
