Beautys Luncheonette se spécialise dans la cuisine de casse-croûte traditionnelle axée sur des classiques préparés sur la plaque chauffante et des sandwichs copieux. Le menu propose le célèbre Mish-Mash, une combinaison emblématique d'œufs brouillés, de salami, de hot-dogs, d'oignons et de poivrons verts, accompagnée de crêpes légères et de pain challah tranché épais. La clientèle découvre un intérieur fonctionnel défini par des tabourets à dossier haut et des accents chromés qui reflètent l'esthétique typique d'une institution de service au comptoir nord-américaine. La cuisine privilégie des techniques de préparation fiables et constantes pour les sandwichs grillés classiques, assurant que chaque plat reste fidèle aux conventions établies du genre. Les options incluent régulièrement des laits frappés classiques et des salades de fruits frais qui complètent les plats salés. Chaque élément du menu mise sur une cuisine réconfortante préparée avec précision technique et une adhésion stricte aux traditions culinaires de cet établissement iconique.
Beautys Luncheonette est largement reconnue comme une institution montréalaise classique, appréciée pour son atmosphère de diner nostalgique et ses incontournables du déjeuner comme les pancakes moelleux, les bagels au saumon fumé et l'omelette Mish Mash. Bien que de nombreux visiteurs apprécient le personnel accueillant et la cuisine réconfortante et constante, les expériences sont parfois nuancées par les longues files d'attente et le sentiment d'être pressé de libérer les tables durant les heures de pointe. Les avis sur les prix sont partagés, car certains clients trouvent que les portions généreuses et la qualité justifient le coût, tandis que d'autres estiment que les plats sont onéreux pour la simplicité des ingrédients. Bien que le service soit généralement décrit comme amical et efficace, quelques clients ont signalé une hospitalité inégale, soulignant que si l'endroit demeure une destination prisée des touristes comme des locaux, l'environnement très occupé peut ne pas convenir à ceux qui recherchent une expérience de brunch décontractée.
Man, do I ever love this place! Especially when Larry, son of the 1942 couple who founded this place. I love to say hello, he is a classic charming proprietor! My favorite diner in all of Montreal. Classic impeccable interior, black & white tiles, long lunch counter, cozy window booths. Huge portions of delicious breakfast - brunch food. Lively young customers. Today we were in luck, no lineup - when there is they do an awesome job of moving folks quickly in & eating. You won't need dinner! Highest recommendation! 👑🐒⚜? d
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.

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.

Very.... bland experience. The place looks alright. Nothing fascinating. The food tho is very very much normal. Small plates of quite bland, classic breakfast. At a 20-30$ price tag for a crêpe with a small half cup portion of fruits. & a scoop of yogourt. The place must have it's fair share of regulars who opt for nostalgia over value or taste to stay afloat in an economy where less gets you more at those breakfast chains out there.
Coffee isn't included; for another 3.5$ you get about 150ml of drip brewed coffee. An even smaller cup than what you'd get from a Barista coffee shop. Their premium home branded'real' maple syrup comes in a sealed 1 oz'shot' size bottle, like those tasters you'll find at the counter of any SAQ. For another surcharge of 3$, it's very pale in color & tasteless, almost diluted. Commenting as someone used to family ran profitable maple shacks selling to QMSP.
Automatic inclusion of gratuities (18%) for groups above 5 people.
Would not recommend, it's not expensive per se. But the value just isn't there.
37$ bill: 2 plain pancakes, half a cup of fruits, scoop of yogourt. Coffee. Maple syrup. Taxes & tips.
The atmosphere felt classic & cozy, service was warm, fast, welcoming. Everything tasted fresh & comforting in the best way. Definitely one of those spots that lives up to the hype. You can tell why people keep coming back for years. Can't wait to go again !!
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! 🥞🥯
