Service & nourriture correct, sans plus. Petites portions.
Les prix, eux, sont très élevés pour ce que c'est. Avec tant d'option à Montréal, je ne peux pas imaginer pourquoi revenir.
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)
We go here often. Service is always great, food is simple & tasty. The place is small & you may have to wait, but we've never waited more than 15 minutes.
Don't waste your time going there, ANY other restaurant is a better choice for a breakfast
Overpriced tourist trap with subpar menu items. I do not understand the appeal of this place
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.
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 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.
First & last time here.
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.
