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.
Modern cafe & nature vibes - sophisticated breakfast restaurant. ☕?🌷
Not too noisy or too quiet, just the perfect balance between life & death. 🫠🪦
Formula one trained cooks which deliver your food before you even finished ordering. 🏎?🧑?🍳
I recommend trying their deepfried avocado options they sound weird but aren't & taste really good.
The eggs here are actually super tasty & are the restaurant's main specialty as they're sourced from some special farm somewhere I forgot where but you don't need to know you can just trust the process. 🗣?💯
For dessert I went for a single cinammon roll pancake, the plate comes with 5 usually as to comply with the diabetic demands of the consumers obviously.. 🩸📈
The location is perfect, sandwhiched right between the donut shop nextdoor & the gym just to test your decision making capabilities & discipline 🤨🫵.

The food was served hot & was tasty. The server came to us promptly on arrival offering coffee & other beverages. The options were different from most breakfast restaurants in the area. If you want a quick but not rushed breakfast this is a good option.
Fresh new place , portions are generous , it's not your usual boring breakfast place, so food looks good tastes amazing & price for what you get is logical, the service was perfect. Gluten free options , Overall experience very positive
Fun new breakfast place in the West island. A little pricey but they have home made options which is always great. The sauces from the ketchup to the jam & their different hot sauces are homemade & delicious. You can't get every type of egg, which was a little disappointing but good to step out of your breakfast comfort zone. You can enjoy scrambled or poached eggs there. No sunnyside or overcast eggs (if you're in the mood for eggs). You can build your own breakfast which is always a nice option.
It is very busy for a good reason - a lot of menu options, all fresh & tasty. The service was very fast & friendly, but it can take some time to get a table, coffee is average, but not burned, food was great & plates are decent size. Unfortunately, no reservations during weekends & it's a welcome edition to West Island breakfast scene.
Bright new brunch spot in the west island! I like the build your own breakfast concept it adds a more exciting component to your brunch! But it you're not in the mood for that, they have a wonderful assortment of breakfast & sandwich options to choose from. We got the ancho pork & chicken & waffle bennys, & they were absolutely to die for! The ancho pork benny in particular was the fan favourite amongst my partner & I. The potato options were really nice too as they have a house potato with lemon & truffle (delicious), & classic tater tots which were very nicely seasoned. If chicken & pork aren't to your tastes they do have nice veggie options as well. We also got there at around 12 while it was VERY busy, & were seated withing 15 minutes so that was very much appreciated. I was impressed at how quickly we recieved our food given how busy it was! The only complaint that I have is that their in house spicy ketchup has too much cinnamon, but that is me just being very nitpick-y. Overall a must-try for anyone wanting brunch in the west island! 5/5

Absolutely loved this new breakfast spot in the West Island with a vegan option! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was welcoming , cozy, very clean & the staff that are friendly & attentive. The food was fresh, flavorful, & delicious - you can really tell care goes into every dish. Portions were generous & everything we tried was delicious. The homemade ketchup & hot sauces need to be sold outside the restaurant! It's the kind of place that instantly becomes a favorite, & we're already planning to go back again this week! So happy to have such a great breakfast place with tofu scramble in the neighborhood. Highly recommend! A+
I hope other breakfasts places take note, this is the new industry standard!
UPDATE:
Went to Yolks for the 2nd time this week, on Saturday morning, & the food & service was on point!
This will be our new weekend spot.
I had the Tofu Scramble with Portabello Mushrooms & the breakfast potatoes. Bottomless Coffee. All delicious.

Went to Yolks DDO on Monday, on their opening day & had a great experience. The space is welcoming & the staff were fantastic. Loved seeing a true plant-based option on the menu without having to customize everything. I had the Tofu Scramble with a side of portobello mushrooms & tater tots, & it was all delicious. Oat milk for coffee is a great bonus. Wishing them lots of success! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
