Yolks Montréal est un restaurant de déjeuners et brunchs fondé par des chefs, reconnu pour ses œufs Perfectly Poached™ et ses classiques réconfortants préparés maison. Fondé à Vancouver en 2012, Yolks s’est développé à travers le Canada et apporte aujourd’hui ses racines de la côte Ouest à Montréal. Chez Yolks, tout est fait avec soin, des sauces maison à la préparation de chaque assiette. L’objectif est simple : le déjeuner, en mieux — servi dans un espace chaleureux et accueillant.
Les avis sur Yolks Breakfast convergent pour présenter une adresse de petit-déjeuner/brunch innovante et très fréquentée dans l'ouest de l'île, où l'on peut composer son propre petit-déjeuner et où les plats originaux côtoient des options végétariennes ou véganes; les œufs ne sont disponibles que pochés ou brouillés, ce qui peut décevoir ceux qui recherchent d'autres cuissons, et les accompagnements ne sont pas inclus d'emblée et peuvent sembler onéreux; les sauces maison, du ketchup aux confitures et aux sauces piquantes, apportent beaucoup de caractère et les portions sont généreuses; le cadre est apprécié pour son ambiance vive et agréable et le service, globalement efficace et souriant, est souvent loué même en période d'affluence, bien que le week-end puisse entraîner des temps d'attente et que l'ouverture ait connu quelques lenteurs; beaucoup considèrent Yolks comme une référence du petit-déjeuner dans le secteur et prévoient d'y revenir pour l'atmosphère, la variété et la qualité des plats.
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.
On Sat/Sundays, when it is sunny...Avoid going as a group. There was slow service bc the location was overbooked by reservations & there were clear signs of disorganisation at the reception, unforntunately.
Upon our arrival, small clusters of groups were waiting outside or inside the entrance despite having a reservation. The team seemed hesistant to clear out tables when previous families or groups were clearly finished eating, which understandably impacts service/tips or this might have been due to missing busboys.
Food wise: Eggs are soft & delicious considering the smaller portions, keep in mind that these eggs are all locally sourced but taste wise we had no complaints, as we could add our salt/pepper/butter/hot sauce ourselves.
The homemade hot sauces & ketchup are GREAT ( complementary to each dishes/needs). Yolks even offers tofu on their menu ( nice surprise) as an alternative for eggs, so everyone is welcome here! All the dishes were good except for the potatoes which were pure oil, their crispy Tots are much better. I recommend the Yolks Breakfast or Benedict your Way for their highly customisable. They use brioche buns for their sandwiches, huge plus! The sides are good too.
Pancakes are AMAZING, so fluffy will not disappoint, I suggest the fruity options with homemade Jam syrup. The cinnamon pancakes were loaded with sugar & pecans, no cinnamon detected yet satisfying regardless because of how pillowy the pancakes are! The stack of pancakes itself was heavily, if anything bring your own maple syrup 💕 As a group most people enjoyed their drinks but watch out for cross contamination Yolks, we were brought milk for our bottomless coffee in open mini containers. Thank you for the food, service during weekends will need to improve but we enjoyed the service from our server! We will come back during the week to fully take in the potential this breakfast restaurant has to offer when it is less busy before 9 am or after 1 pm. 6.9/10 until we return!
Thank you for your hospitality.

Already knew what I wanted coming in, but unfortunately the online menu is different from the menu in the restaurant. Online it said we could do 50/50 tater tots & truffle lemon potatoes as a side, but unfortunately that was not an option in the restaurant.
Menu is quite complicated, but the waiter was extremely friendly & was answering all of our questions!
In terms of the food I was quite satisfied. Loved the eggs & bacon. The bread came plain (I assumed it would come with butter), so I ate it like that, but they do have a big variation of jams you would have to ask for! The Crispy French toast was good, not the taste I was expecting at all (no cinnamon taste whatsoever), but good paired up with the maple syrup. The potatoes were very rich in flavour. Maybe almost too garlicky. Overall I was satisfied!
Our waiter had messed up the bills & then proceeded to charge us different amounts than what was on our bills, which was confusing.
Atmosphere is super cute! Perfect noise level & loved the booths. Everyone is so kind.
Would really love to try this place out again & see how i feel the second time around!
This was my second time at Yolks, & both visits have been amazing. I went with two others, & we all loved our meals. I ordered the Western fritata, & it was perfectly cooked. Every component of the dish was spot on. There were plenty of caramelized onions, peppers, & ham, & everything tasted fresh with a slight sweetness. The frittata wasn't heavy on the potatoes, & the balance with the eggs was excellent. It wasn't burnt, it wasn't runny, it was cooked perfectly. The flavours were incredible, especially when paired with their spicy sauce.
We also shared the crispy pecan & banana French toast, which was fantastic. It was perfectly crispy without being oily, & the maple syrup was just the right amount & tasted very fresh. This is a must try item at the restaurant.
One friend got the chicken & waffles & said it was amazing & perfectly cooked. My other friend ordered the ham Benedict & loved it as well. On a previous visit, I tried the Smokehouse Benedict. It was very good, although the bacon didn't taste particularly smoky, more like regular bacon but the spinach they use is excellent & complements the Benedict perfectly.
This place has truly become my favourite breakfast spot & I'll be coming back every time I'm in Montreal
First time here & looking forward to next visit to try other menu items! I mean I can only eat so much 😆 I ordered the salmon avo toast, & bf had the usual breakfast but with truffle lemon potatoes. The smoked salmon was a bit fishy so I didn't like it. The potatoes were good but not all bits were tossed with the sauce. I want to try the beignets, bb pancakes & crispy avo next time. Service is excellent!
The choices in the menu were pretty limited. No way of getting a plate with a usual eggs & pancake without paying an expensive extra, had to have a plate with just 4 pancakes, very little sauce, no fruits or nothing else.
I had the yolks classic which is eggs, meat & bread. There was very little eggs in the plate, almost not enough for 1 piece of bread, they taste good though. The breakfast potatoes or tater tots were not good, was eating more fried stuff than potatoes.
The kids menu was disappointing, needed to add a bunch of extras to have something decent.
In summary, you don't really get a bit of everything in your plate, you need to add a lot of extras. Also the filter coffee for 2$ extra to add felt cheap & too expensive.
Also, the bathrooms did not have any heating
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! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
