Beauty's Luncheonette est largement décrite comme un diner classique et animé de Montréal, avec une ambiance nostalgique et un brunch et petit déjeuner remarquables, comprenant des pancakes moelleux, des bagels au saumon et des portions généreuses que beaucoup estiment justifier le prix; tandis que la foule et les files témoignent de sa popularité, plusieurs avis avertissent que les tarifs restent élevés et que certains plats peuvent décevoir, avec parfois un service peu constant ou pressé les matins d'affluence, mais l'impression générale demeure que Beauty's est une institution à visiter pour une expérience conviviale et fiable.
They already started off by bringing me the wrong smoothie. I didn't even complain because it actually tasted fine, so I let it go. But what really ruined the experience was the attitude.
When the bill was printing, the waitress literally sighed out loud after seeing the tip amount - clearly implying it'wasn't enough.' That alone was incredibly unprofessional. Then when I said'thank you, have a good day,' she flat-out ignored me & walked into the kitchen. From our table, we could see her & another coworker looking at us, pointing, & talking about us.
If you're going to work in hospitality, act like it. No customer should feel judged or mocked for the tip they leave. Completely immature & unprofessional behavior. I won't be coming back.
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! 🥞🥯
If you're looking for a place to eat breakfast or brunch.& like the old school diner feel I highly recommend this place, & the staff is extremely friendly.& very quick
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 $10 sandwich felt like a rip-off, & I was extremely disappointed.
The dish itself could easily be improved, but in its current form, it completely took away my desire to return. I didn't recommend the restaurant to my friends because of this experience.
The restaurant should seriously reconsider the portion size & value of this item. It doesn't make sense to charge the same price for a very plain sandwich as for a full, well-garnished brunch plate.
The food is bad, worse than bigger franchises brunch/breakfast place, & also overpriced for burnt food.
My sausages were burnt, the potatoes were undercooked. They charge 3$ for coffee btw, & super low quality coffee too. Also can't customize omelet, if we ask just to add mushrooms, they can only remove not add.
Now service was horrible, the servers were extremely condensending & rude, again we're paying customers, so you can atleast too look happy at your job.
Anyways, better to go any other breakfast restaurant, don't waste your money & time.
I normally never leave a review but I've never had such a rude & condescending server. At the table, we were all shocked about the behaviour of our server…
Très déçu de mon expérience. Je crois qu'ils surfeent sur leur réputation. J'ai commandé les gaufres avec choix de saucisses. L'assiette est arrivée avec une gaufre sur laquelle on avait déposé trois saucisse à déjeuner. J'ai du payer 3$ pour quelques onces de sirop d'érable. J'aurais commandé plus de sirop d'érable mais a 3$ on y pense à deux fois. Ma petite fille a commandé le bagel & saumon fumé. Présentation minimale. Latte servi froid a 7$ chacun? Les choix de pourboire commencent à 18%.
C'était un lundi matin. Après avoir payer la facture le n'avait pas encore terminé mon café qu'on nous demandent de quitter car il y avait un couple qu'on attendait pour une place. Nous avons passé ma petite fille & moi moins d'une heure à notre table. Je me suis senti bousculée. Je n'ose imaginer ce que ça doit être les week-ends. Assiette minimale & deux latte. 60$.
