Beauty's Luncheonette is widely described as a classic, bustling Montreal diner with a nostalgic vibe and a standout breakfast and brunch lineup, including fluffy pancakes, bagels with lox, and generous portions that many feel are worth the price; while the crowd and lines reflect its popularity, several reviews also caution that prices are high and some dishes can underwhelm, with occasional service issues or rushed seating on busy mornings, but the overall sentiment remains that Beauty's is an institution worth visiting for a dependable, friendly experience.
Excellent breakfast! Great omelettes, bagels, & service. Was busy but line went fairly fast. Wanted to go back again but ran out of time during our vacation.
Beautys is definitely a historic spot in Montreal. The food was a bit underwhelming however, & the portions are a bit small for the price. We were politely asked to leave right after finishing our plates because of the line up, which of course had a bit of an impact of my experience.
Délicieux ! 🤤
C'était parfait, en plus l'accueil de la serveuse est chaleureux, de bonne humeur 🥰
(Le seul point négatif c'est qu'il fait un peu froid avec le clim 🤭)
Went there for the first time almost 40 years ago & it has changed alot over the years but still great food & although I preferred the old look it does look good. Enjoyed the Beauty's Special & as I am here for a few days will likely go back for another...

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.
An institution - can't miss it. Best breakfast, loveliest staff - Anne Marie is a sweetheart! - love supporting this Mont Royal landmark. Superbe & a favourite
The highlight of my visit to this iconic Montreal breakfast spot was the superior service I received from Rebecca. I was greeted warmly, my order handled promptly, all with a smile & story. A customer is a transaction, but a client is a relationship. Thanks.
