Yolks Montréal is a chef-founded breakfast and brunch restaurant known for its Perfectly Poached™ eggs and scratch-made comfort classics. Founded in Vancouver in 2012, Yolks has grown to multiple locations across Canada, bringing its West Coast roots to Montréal. Everything at Yolks is made with care, from house-made sauces to the way each plate is prepared. The goal is simple: breakfast, but better—served in a warm, welcoming space.
Yolks Breakfast is described as a lively, non traditional brunch spot with a wide range of unique plates and a build-your-own option, where eggs are typically poached or scrambled rather than fried; the menu features hearty dishes such as benedicts, chicken and waffles, and vegan options like tofu scramble, with many plates showing fresh flavors and homemade sauces, jams, and condiments; the atmosphere is bright and busy, making it a popular destination in the West Island and DDO, though weekends can be loud and lines long and reservations are not always available; service is generally praised as friendly and attentive with efficient takeout, but some visits note teething issues during soft openings and occasional portion or pricing quirks where sides feel extra; overall Yolks Breakfast is viewed as a standout new option with high quality, creative offerings, and a welcoming vibe that encourages repeat visits to enjoy the atmosphere and variety.
I was biding from NYC. Where we live in Brooklyn, there are a lot of tasty breakfast options. I was thrilled to have found Yolks! Delicious food. Beautiful presentation, & served with the Montreal Joie de Vivre! Definitely a repeat spot.

Got an over cooked poach egg but told the waiter & he immediately offered 2 poached eggs to compensate! 😅 The replacement was perfectly poached. Human error happens, the important thing is how we handle it. Great service!
Food was good. My family was more into their ketchup 😅
Our experience at Yolks was fantastic. It is, without a doubt, the best breakfast spot in the West Island, & I'd go as far as saying the best in all of Montreal. The poached eggs are a game-changer-honestly the best I have ever had in my life. Everything from the atmosphere to the food quality was top-notch. If you're looking for a place that truly masters the art of breakfast, this is it. Highly recommended!
Amazing service from friendly staff & food is too notch. Love the homemade approach & the amazing egg quality (deep orange yolks perfectly cooked). Really enjoyed a Mother's Day brunch here (reserved in advance). In addition to the great staff the restaurant went above & beyond & gave moms flowers as well as complementary beignets (which were also very good).

The must try breakfast restaurant! Exceptional food quality & service. Every meal is fresh & delicious; the perfect way to start off the day. Impresses all family & friends.

The service was very fast & the staff were very friendly, the food came hot & fresh & was very good. It is aesthetically pleasing with good music & a plethora of things to choose from in the menu. Will be returning!
The restaurant is so aesthetic!! & Nadia helped serve my food & she was the sweetest person there, definitely deserves a raise. Overall very satisfied with my experience & the food was really yummy! Will be coming back👌
What's going on Yolks???!! I am.giving a 2 star rating for food because the pancakes failed to give that exceptional detail. From the opening to now.. the pancakes are not what it used to be. They were fluffy back then! it tasted incredible before. Today I felt I was eating rubber. No one in the kitchen does a taste test before sending it out? Come on. This is the whole reason I come here because of the pancakes. It's what made it attractive. The rest of the food, Benny salmon was amazing & burger was also good.
Just need to get those pancakes back to what it was. No other breakfast restaurant can pull that off.
A loyal customer that believes in this restaurant.
I ordered the eggs Benedict with ham & got the lemon baked potatoes. The Dijon hollandaise sauce was not great. The Dijon was overpowering it completely & I do enjoy Dijon. The poached egg was great though & the ham was good. However the lemon potatoes was so lemony I got nothing from them but that sour flavour. Also the'fruit' consisted on 1 quarter slice of a tomato, a sliver of a pineapple & 3 grapes that weren't tasty...I mean I'm paying 20$ plus tax.. they could do better. Also very loud! Could barely here my mom & aunt. There were people in there but the music was way too loud.
