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.

We go here often. Service is always great, food is simple & tasty. The place is small & you may have to wait, but we've never waited more than 15 minutes.

Beauty's is a classic, Jewish restaurant, but definitely no kosher (you can tell from the very tasty bacon!)

The wait is usually 10-20 minutes(can definitely be more!), but it's well worth it & the line moves quickly.

Not the cheapest, however, the food is great & plentiful. The grilled banana bread is amazing, theirs smoothies are fresh & tasty. The salad was huge & very fresh.

Very accommodating & very friendly people & staff. When one family arrived & wanted a kosher experience, they worked very hard to find them somewhere that was - not many places would have gone out of their way to do so.

Family of 4 with 4 meals & 3 drinks came to about $160 (with tax & tip)

I really liked this place from the traditional chains I normally go to. It has a home feel, our waiter was super nice, like really nice. We ordered a spinach omelet, 2 eggs, sausage, & a side of blueberry pancakes. Let me tell you, the omelet was outstanding with great flavor & the pancakes, wow hands down so tasty with 10/10 flavor of blueberries. Guaranteed you won't find that any loco chains. Just based on those 2 dishes, we can not wait to go back!

Stopped for brunch on Sunday morning. There was a line, but it moved quickly. The menu is huge & has a great variety. We had the omelet with feta it served with great potatoes in side & also we had the salmon bagel. The service was fast, the food was tasty , & I was impressed by how clean the place was, even though it was full

Tasty food. Friendly service!

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!

A really nice food, the pancakes are super tasty. Sometimes during the weekend the service is so-so but I get the fact that it’s so busy. Besides that, I love this place�🥰
