Beautys Luncheonette

Everything you want from a legendary neighborhood dinnette. The service is always with a smile whether it's the owner serving you a cup of coffee or the waitress suggesting their favourites. Perfect to dine in at but wait times can be expected on weekends (understandably), the breakfast bagel is one of the best in the city.

The food is bad, worse than bigger franchises brunch/breakfast place, & also overpriced for burnt food.
My sausages were burnt, the potatoes were undercooked. They charge 3$ for coffee btw, & super low quality coffee too. Also can't customize omelet, if we ask just to add mushrooms, they can only remove not add.

Now service was horrible, the servers were extremely condensending & rude, again we're paying customers, so you can atleast too look happy at your job.

Anyways, better to go any other breakfast restaurant, don't waste your money & time.

Beautys Luncheonette on Mont-Royal Street in Montreal is a true classic that has been delighting locals & visitors since 1942. For photographers from Photolator, it's not just a place to eat - it's a slice of Montreal's cultural & culinary history.

The retro diner atmosphere, complete with its famous neon sign & cozy booths, offers fantastic opportunities for capturing timeless urban & lifestyle shots. Inside, the service is warm & friendly, making you feel like a regular even on your first visit. The menu is simple but exceptional, with their legendary Beauty's Special bagel & lox, fluffy pancakes, & perfectly brewed coffee standing out as highlights.

The presentation is clean & appetizing, perfect for food photography without the need for excessive styling. Whether you're looking to fuel up before a photo walk or capture authentic diner vibes, Beautys is a Montreal gem worth visiting again & again.

Well, this was a throwback for me visiting for the first time in about 40 years & the Mish Mash was exactly the same. Omelette was good & coffee/cappuccino was also good. Got some T-shirts to bring the memories back to New York. Service top notch & of course a wait, but expect it. Moves fast.

Super Beauties dish was very good, food was fresh. Pancakes are super yummy & light, restaurant has interesting pieces from the 50s. Great to see coffee included!

It's a Monday full of Monday stresses & Monday rushes. & here I am sitting in a warm corner of the city listening to Jim Croce over a hefty plate of pancakes drizzled with a little maple. Beautys Diner pours coffee & light into your day... & I highly recommend this to anyone wanting a handshake & a hug from a smiling past, here in the present.

I was a dedicated Beauty's regular back in the 90s. Today brunch for my 10 year old son, 6 year old daughter & me was 80 dollars, very very rushed, waiters took plates we weren't finished with & brought us the bill while we were eating, very scabby with coffee refills. Probably not the case for people who can afford to be regulars. Tasty though. Very tasty. Tiny portions, had to feed my kids again at home. Goodbye Beauty's! I loved you but there are far more generous friendlier places for brunch in this city!

Stopped by for breakfast this morning. Overall, it was pretty good. Since we were a larger party (booths saved for 3-6 people), we were able to get right in. The service was excellent, especially regarding refilling drinks. They would come out periodically to top off water & coffee, which was great. Once we ordered the food, it came out pretty quick. The food was pretty good, but not great compared to other diners we have been to.

Typical diner with a modern healthier twist. Jewish/American cuisine. The orange juice is freshly made & the coffee is meh!

It is kinda not worth the price. We went in just to try because there was no line up that day. Maybe people just go because of the line without knowing the food? My bagel with smoked salmon was cold & hard. My wife had a waffle with sausages. We did not even order a coffee. With tip, it was about $50.

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.
