Had a wonderful brunch experience here! The French toast was perfectly golden & fluffy, & the scrambled eggs were soft & flavorful. The crepe was also delicious with a great balance of textures. Special thanks to Marc for his attentive & friendly service, he made us feel very welcome. Great food, cozy atmosphere, & excellent service. Will definitely come back again!

Our waiter was the highlight of the visit, he was clearly passionate about his work & took excellent care of us throughout the meal. That kind of genuine, attentive service really makes a difference!
The pancakes were absolutely delicious, perfectly fluffy & exactly what you'd hope for. The ambiance was pleasant & comfortable, nothing extraordinary, but a nice setting overall.
Will definitely come back for the food & the fantastic service!

Unfortunately although I gave a good review before, I must change it now. Eggspectation was always a favourite of mine in the 90s, but now their potatoes are served dry & stale & my friend & I ordered their Eggspectation omelette - I asked the waitress not to include bacon but two seconds after I ordered she said the omelette was already'half done' which means it was sitting there for a while. Needless to say my friend & I both got severe food poisoning after the fact & although it's upsetting I will not be returning anytime soon.

I ordered a mocha, fresh squeezed orange juice, & their Eggstravaganza. The french toast had a delightful crisp outside with soft inside. The potatoes came with some thinly sliced onion, which was a nice surprise. The server was pleasant, & the music was a great selection. It wasn't busy when I went (9am on a Saturday). Would definitely recommend!
My mom is Asian & never liked non Asian food, no matter how many different restaurants we tried. But she was impressed by Eggspectation & said that she'd go back any day.
We really enjoyed our breakfast here during our visit to Montreal. The meal was well cooked & delicious. The cappuccino was perfect & the decor whimsical. A full bar for anyone who wants a drink early. The crepes & eggs Benedict were great.
