Beautys Luncheonette est une institution montréalaise historique reconnue pour son ambiance de diner classique, son décor rétro et ses déjeuners populaires tels que les crêpes moelleuses, les bagels au saumon fumé et l'omelette Mish Mash. Bien que de nombreux visiteurs louent l'établissement pour son atmosphère nostalgique, son service efficace et la qualité de ses plats réconfortants, les avis sur le rapport qualité-prix restent partagés, certains clients trouvant les prix élevés et les portions inégales. L'endroit est très fréquenté, ce qui entraîne souvent des temps d'attente et un rythme soutenu donnant parfois aux clients l'impression d'être pressés. Si la majorité apprécie le personnel accueillant et le statut emblématique du restaurant, d'autres ont fait état d'interactions peu professionnelles concernant les pourboires et ont exprimé des réserves sur le rapport coût-valeur global.
Beautys is a classic (Since 1942) bustling diner with amazing food, friendly atmosphere, & attentive service (four refills of their perfect coffee & I have enough energy to take on the day).
But Beautys is not your run-of-the-mill, run-down diner; conversely, it's run like a well-oiled breakfast machine brimming with a bright personality, menu diversity (breakfast + lunch options!), & delicious flavors! The prices are not cheap, but they are fair & worth it, as the quality is top-notch.
The decor is clean, modern, & pristine.
I got the big breakfast platter with potatoes, 2 eggs, 2 pancakes, bagel, & both bacon & sausage. I added some 100 percent maple & it was worth it. The pancakes are buttery & crispy, thick too; just perfect!
I even broke a hot sauce bottle on accident (sorry!) & it was not an issue at all as they said'it happens', & swiftly cleaned it up.
Highly recommend the vodka orange juice, as they fresh squeeze the OJ daily. Super yummy!
They have a modern decor but feels like a classic diner (is literally is), have good counter space for solo diners or if it's too busy you can eat there, a variety of tables bplus big ones for 3-6 people (perfect for b-day celebration or a small party).
Beautys is usually very busy (packed) so be prepared to wait 10-15 minutes or sometimes longer. Luckily my wife & I came when there was a free table so we didn't have to wait. Service is fast-paced, friendly, & it's a generally good vibe!
Beautys: fresh, modern, quaint, hip; classic diner experience with the best service around. 5 stars.
My wife & I will definitely be back soon.

La qualité des produits est bonne mais les prix sont clairement excessifs. La serveuse s'est quand même permis de réclamer les 2 dollars de pourboire qui manquaient pour atteindre les 15% de pourboire. Un pourboire de près de 20$ quand même pour 4 bagels, 4 boissons & 3 desserts ! Je trouve que ce restaurant ne vaut pas le détou
Proceed with caution!
While visiting Montreal, I took two local friends to Beauty's Restaurant for brunch on Saturday, May 30, expecting a classic diner experience at this long-standing establishment that I have frequented for the last 10 years. Unfortunately, it turned into a complete disaster. The server was pleasant enough in the beginning when I ordered a bottle of Prosecco. She then asked my friends what they would like to drink. One ordered a cappuccino with oat milk, to which she sarcastically responded,'We're a diner; we don't do that here.' He relented & ordered a cappuccino with regular milk instead. My second friend ordered a black coffee. You could tell she was not happy with us as she walked away. Several minutes later, a busser returned to the table carrying a bucket containing two unopened bottles of Prosecco. I told him,'Sorry, sir. Thank you, but I only ordered one.' The confused busser walked away. Our server returned shortly thereafter & asked,'What's the problem?' I politely explained that I had only ordered one bottle, not two. She immediately became defensive, insisting that one of my friends had also ordered a bottle of Prosecco. Once again, I politely corrected her, explaining that one friend had ordered a coffee & the other a cappuccino with regular milk. She responded by pulling out her notepad & franticly flipped through her chicken-scratch writing, vigorously searching for evidence that would prove us wrong & set the record straight. She was unable to produce it. Her face turned red. Without saying a word, she abruptly grabbed one of the unopened bottles & walked away. At that precise moment, I knew we were in for the Brunch From Hell. Seven minutes passed before she returned with the coffee. The mood was tense & the atmosphere heavy. Another 25 minutes passed before the food finally arrived: a mixed green salad, a breakfast sandwich, & a smoked salmon bagel. My salmon bagel looked edible. My friend's breakfast sandwich, however, I wouldn't have fed to my dog food. These dishes were all priced between $16 & $22 before tax. Despite this, we put our heads down & ate the mediocre food. While consuming my $18 smoked salmon bagel-burnt around the edges, served on stale bread, & lacking capers or even a solitary lemon wedge-I thought to myself: if our server does the bare minimum & asks how the food is, I'll give her a 10% tip. She strategically returned about 15 minutes later, after we had finished eating. At that moment, my decision was made. I would not be tipping her. I told my friends to ask for separate bills while I stepped away to use the restroom. When I returned to the table, I was bewildered to find the server berating my friend over the amount he intended to tip. She demanded to know why he was only leaving 10%. I responded,'You really don't know why his tip is so low?' She became increasingly agitated & asked whether it was the food or the service.'Both,' I replied. Her face now bright red, she snapped,'You ate all the food, so it couldn't have been the food!' I responded,'& this is how you speak to customers? You bully them into tipping more?' She fires back,'Your entitlement is outrageous. I only make $12 an hour.' I repeated myself.'& this is how you speak to people? How's this working out for you? Not very well, I'm assuming.' At this point, steam may as well have been coming out of her ears. She then argued,'Your friend ordered a mimosa!' To which I replied,'Mimosa is not a word that was spoken at this table.' Outraged, she picked up the payment terminal & threw it down on the table in front of me. Looking at the screen, I took my time, carefully ensuring I did not tip a penny over my bill of $43.69. Growing impatient, she muttered,'Here, let me help you.' Grabbing the machine aggressively, she forcefully selected the zero-tip option for me. I replied,'Thank you. That's the most helpful you've been the entire time.' Taking the machine, she stormed away. The nightmare was finally over. We were free.

It's been more than 40 years since we were here & were soooo happy to see it still is!!!! & the service & FABULOUS FOOD are the main reasons this iconic Montreal eatery has sustained all of us who appreciate truly substantial sustenance.
Huge MEAT LOVERS OMLETTE & Saint Viateur bagels stuffed with delicious lox took us back to the 1980's.....
Coffee is locally sourced (processed??) & terrific!!!
Food was very mid. Only go here if you don't know how to cook & can't make a better breakfast than simple eggs, potatoes, a protein & toast/bagel.
Everything on my dish was missing flavour. The eggs had no browning on the bottom, no salt or other spices on my potatoes. It's very rare for me to add hot sauce to things so I can enjoy my food more.
I would have been happier if it was more affordable to justify the mediocrity of the plate but my dish was close to $20 & it went over that with tax & tip.
I only tried it cause it's a Montreal institution so I excepted the food to be better than what I got.
Waiter was very tip-hungry. & rude about it. A 15% tip is perfectly acceptable just to bring an 18$ bagel. Maybe the owners should pay them a liveable wage if that makes them upset & mean to clients!
Food & atmosphere were alright, but you can definitely make the bagel at home easily.
I was unfortunately underwhelmed by my visit. The food quality itself was acceptable, but the portions did not justify the price. My salmon bagel sandwich had very little salmon - it seemed bulked up with tomatoes to create the appearance of a fuller filling. Similarly, the egg sandwich contained what felt like half an egg, overloaded with cheese & bacon, which made it heavy but not satisfying.
What impacted the experience most was the service. As soon as we finished eating, we were asked to pay & leave because it's a fast-service breakfast spot. We politely asked if we could stay a little longer, but the response was unfriendly & we were told we needed to leave soon - despite there being open tables & no lineup.
Overall, it felt rushed & disappointing. With better portion balance & a more welcoming approach to guests, the experience could be much improved. My friends & I will not be returning to this place.
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.
Hands down one of the best breakfast spots in Montreal for classic brunch done right. Their pancakes are incredibly fluffy, & the bagels are absolutely amazing-perfect every single time. This place is truly an institution, & you can feel it in the atmosphere, the consistency, & the quality of the food. I always love coming here for brunch, & it never disappoints. A must-visit for breakfast lovers! 🥞🥯
I ordered a sandwich called the BML (Beauty's something… if I remember correctly) from the brunch menu. It was a very basic sandwich: one slice of Kraft cheese, an egg, bacon, tomato, & mayo, served on grilled bread. No side dish.
It cost the same price as my colleagues' full brunch plates, which included pancakes, bacon, egg, potatoes , a bagel & more.
I'm not saying the restaurant is bad overall - my friends seemed to really enjoy their meals. However, I strongly discourage ordering this particular dish. Paying $25 (tax, tip in) for what is essentially a $10 sandwich felt like a rip-off, & I was extremely disappointed.
The dish itself could easily be improved, but in its current form, it completely took away my desire to return. I didn't recommend the restaurant to my friends because of this experience.
The restaurant should seriously reconsider the portion size & value of this item. It doesn't make sense to charge the same price for a very plain sandwich as for a full, well-garnished brunch plate.
