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 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.

They have counter space, a variety of tables, & are usually very busy, so be prepared to wait 10-15 minutes or sometimes longer. I noticed that customers are respectful & generally don't overstay here. Service is fast-paced, & it's a fresh, modern, diner experience.
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.
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.

So much fun, we waited in line outside in the rain. it was worth the wait for the experience. We all had Bloody Mary's . They supply all the fixings so you can make your own. Food is delicious, great deli sandwiches, pancakes with Canadian Maple syrup, all day breakfast. Definitely give it a try.
