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.
The waitress was giving me & my friends attitude for no reason, which we ignored at first.
When it came to paying, we were pressured for tip, just by her presence. To be honest, food was not good & service was bad. i gave a little less than 15% tip (btw they start with 18% tipping options) & the waitress gave me a stare & left the table without saying a word.
.
she went to see her colleague right away & they were both staring at our table.
she did not come once to ask hows the food, did not properly bring our dishes to the table, barely smiled or acknowledge us.
also none of us finished our plates, she didnt ask if we wanted to bring our food to go.
I want to specify, tipping culture is important in mtl & i get it. but it is the customer's discretion & should not feel imposed. It is deserved.
i understand this place has a legacy in montreal but its reallly embarassing for them to treat their customers this way. frankly it just looks bad
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.

If you love diners, you will absolutely love Beauty's Restaurant! We started our visit to Montreal with breakfast here at this amazing spot! First of all, the owner & staff were so lovely & made our experience so special. Secondly, the BEST cup of COFFEE I have ever had! Seriously! The best & I am a total coffee snob! The place is so clean, the booth benches were so soft, everything about this place made me want to come back & try out other dishes. The food was absolutely delicious & large portions
If I could give it zero stars I certainly would have. Terrible reception upon arrival, & then told to stand in the door until my friend arrived, despite place being practically empty on a Monday morning at 10:15am, was told I'could not sit until all parties were present'.
Ridiculous 😡
It has been 20 years since I had been there & decided to go for the nostalgia...big mistake. It'll be another 2 decades before making that mistake again after paying $12 to park for nothing. Met my friend as scheduled, & immediately left 🏃🏼?♀?🏃🏼?♀?
Beauty's you're doin' too much...seriously unwelcoming!!
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!!!
Good spot. It's a cute Jewish diner type vibe & the staff was very friendly. The milkshakes are AMAZING & our burgers were also great. Beauty's is a household name for a reason. Will say it was very expensive (80+ for 2 burgers & 2 milkshakes)
Really disappointed in my first trip to Beauty's. I've heard nothing but good things but maybe this was just a bad day. Server didn't say more than 5 words to us outside of taking our order. Didn't check up on us once. The food was pretty gross & cold; especially the'homefries' that are more or less just re-heated boiled potatoes.
EDIT:
I made this initial review while waiting for our bill. This story gets way crazier. After waiting nearly half an hour to pay at the table, we ended up making our way to the front payment desk asked to take care of our bill there, as we had post-brunch plans.
A member of our party had been displeased by the lack of service we had received, & asked that the 18% auto gratitude be removed from their bill. The waitress quickly printed off the bills we had been waiting for when she saw us make our way to the front counter, & met us there.
This is where the theatrics begin. She began by saying that we are threatening her livelihood, suggesting that we must do this often, & repeatedly accusing us of attempting to scam the restaurant. We had repeatedly reassured her that we were willing to pay for everything we had ordered, but that we'd just like the tip removed. This situation continued to escalate to the point that the waitress began cussing at our group. Her most shocking comment was that we all must live a'Miserable Existence'.
I had intended to pay the 18% added to my personal bill despite the poor service, but the waitresses bizarre accusations & outbursts changed my mind. I can't remember the last time I have not left a tip, so this really stands out to me.
The manager watched this entire interaction. She only once stepped in to'remind' us that this is how waitresses pay their bills. She did also snap her fingers at the waitress in an attempt to calm her down. Overall, this whole experience was humiliating & classless.
Reading through the reviews, I can see that'tip-shaming' seems to be common at this restaurant. Needless to say, I will never return. Definitely the craziest dining experience I've had.
I was really surprised with my experience here at beauty's. I was really excited to visit since it's a household name in Montreal however the quality of their food & service was not reflective of their reputation. I'm surprised a basically meal was super expensive with nothing special on it. Second my friend got the gravlax sandwich with one piece of salmon & 3 tomato pieces to make the sandwich appear thicker. When I asked our waitress for my eggs over easy & well done yolks she gave me a face & came back with runny yolks. I will say tho the restaurant it self was well decorated with a nostalgic vibe. But I would look at other breakfast restaurants to try.
