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.
Very underwhelming experience. My mother had a hair in her plate but they did not make her pay at least. The plat was 17$ & I was expecting much more for that price. The pancankes were ok but the potatoes were without any flavor. A lot of them were also burnt.
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.
Excellent American breakfast place in Mount Royal. Portion sizes are generous. Quick service. It gets crowded on weekends & usually there is a queue to get it. But the wait is worth it. We tried their classic omlette & smoothies. It was delicious. Must try.

Cela fait plusieurs fois que je viens déjeuner, aujourd'hui j étais vraiment déçu Les pommes de terre coupées en grandes tranches n étaient pas cuites a coeur donc croquante & indigestes. La serveuse (une madame d un certain âge) du bar m a redonné la confiture d un autre client déjà entamée( pas très cool niveau sanitaire) & le beacon était en mode chips dure & ultra salé... Service était plutôt du jeté de plat & surtout fallait vite finir pour laisser la place Pas top . Vraiment déçu.

Je suis très partagée concernant ce dinner de Montréal. Si le burger était incroyable & les pancakes au bacon & sirop d'érable super bons, on ne pouvait pas en dire autant du bagel au saumon qui était franchement moyen. Pour l'ambiance...hummm... bah non, c'est un peu l'usine & le service ni souriant ni spécialement gentil (plutôt rare au Canada). Nous avons attendu & attendu avant qu'on vienne prendre la commande & je ne parle pas du temps qu'il a fallu avant d'être servis... on n'est pas arrivés à l'heure de pointe car il était déjà 14h & pourtant on n'a pas été bien servis. On a trouvé l'endroit un peu sale... un sol affreusement collant & sale & des tables qui collent aux bras.... non franchement, l'établissement m'avait été chaudement recommandé par quelqu'un de confiance mais perso, ma tribu & moi n'avons pas été séduits. Pour les bagels c'est certain, il y a beaucoup mieux & on a l'adresse.
Beauty's was a must-see for me, as a first-timer in Montreal. & I must say, as an American who is no stranger to breakfast sandwiches, this restaurant has some of THE BEST bagels & bacon I've ever tasted in my life! Their food is delicious & their service is socialable & attentive. They're obviously the kind of place where everyone does everything & I really respect that. When I come back to Montreal, I will make sure to visit them again- multiple times!
Classique petit déjeuner, c'est frais, c'est bien préparé, bagel délicieux. Service fantastique. Belle rénovation, la climatisation est cependant problématique... il fait très froid!
Très chouette endroit pour un petit déjeuner. C'est la 4ieme fois que j'y vais, le mismatch est excellent. Très bon service. Très chouette atmosphère vintage. Je recommande.
