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.

Egg Benedict was not very good. Very thin crab cake overly fried to point saturated in oil. Banana & strawberry French toast was good however, especially if you have a sweet tooth
Merci à Marc pour l'excellent service! Je ne peux pas noter la nourriture, puisque je n'ai pris qu'un café, mais mon ami a semblé apprécier ses oeufs bénédictines.

Had brunch at Eggspectation & it was delicious. I ordered the Eggs Benedict & it was really well done-the eggs were perfectly poached & the hollandaise sauce was rich & flavorful. Portion size was solid, & the service was quick & friendly. Great spot for a satisfying brunch. I'd definitely come back.
If you are in Montreal downtown, do go for this place for brunch. Usually crowded & little wait time is there. We ordered Nashville benedict,classic French toast & pancakes & it was all yumm !! The potions are good. Loved the place
Visiting Montreal, my friend & I breakfasted at Eggspectation. We sat outside, where a nice breeze added to the comfort of the setting. My friend ordered a Bene-Ducked & I ordered a Veggie Omelet work a toasted buttered Bagel on the side. The duck in the Bene-Ducked was well- prepared & flavorful. The Veggie Omelet was tasty as well. Originally hailing from NY, I was looking forward to a Montreal Bagel & I was not disappointed. The sesame bagel was nicely toasted & quite delicious. My friend really liked his Iced Cappuccino & I had a nice Oat Milk. Service was excellent, as our server was responsive without being intrusive. Eggspectation is a nice place to grab breakfast, especially if you like Eggs Benedict dishes. I heartily recommend it.
Not my first time going to an eggspectation, but this morning was particularly special. First of all, the avocado toast benedict was excellent & the service was very quick. Second, the waitress Noah & the bartender Anna were incredible. It was pretty cool to meet some fellow martimers in Montreal! I definitely recommend this place...easy, great service, friendly staff...never disappoints.

We love this place! Best breakfast in the city with so many choices. Food is fresh, hot, & service is impeccable. Recommend the Classic & Crab Benedict's, French toast flambé, Eggstravganza, & their salads. Can't go wrong with any of it. Large portions, fresh coffee with constant refills, great mimosas, & spicy Bloody Mary's-they have it. Large parties handled with ease & food coming out of the kitchen is fast. From the hostess at the front door to the wait staff, very impressed. Nikita, our waiter is the best!
Whoever graded this place below 5, should have their head examined. Our server was an 10. Our food a 10. My wife had the Eggs Benedict Classic. I has the big breakfast with French Toast made from Brioche bread. If in doubt. Go. You won't be sorry.
Food & service were eggcelent! The staff was over the top & was very attentive. So refreshing for a city atmosphere. Love Montreal & eggspeciations! The salmon Benedict did not disappoint.

I had a lovely experience on a rainy Saturday afternoon. Sat at the espresso bar, got the Montreal Benedict with salad, extra bacon, coffee, & an Aperol spritz (with oj added).
Very personable staff & very good food. Prices were reasonable for the area.
A party of 3 with 2 people addicted to egg benedict, so it made sense to come the the closest location to have our breakfast: lobster Benedict, crab cake Benedict with me liking plain eggs.
The surprise was the watermellon slices, which was a great touch after having eggs. & thanks to our waiter, an Oriental guy (secretly I wished him to be our waiters as the others seem not to be bothered much) who paid attention to everything: how I like my bread etc. You might think: why be fussy? Well, otherwise I cannot eat or small things done not the way I like them simply make me physically sick.
This place is beautifully decorated, even the bathrooms are amazing & is located in a great area: as we returned around lunch time we noticed how busy & 'crazy' this are became all of a sudden. At night it might be madness.
