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.

We came to MTL on vacation, & we enjoyed it so much we had to eat here more than once! The staff was very professional & friendly, & the food was delicious. It was very hard to choose from all of their great choices, but I strongly recommend the breakfast poutine.
We had breakfast & I tried the Omelet with a coffee & fruits. I loved the seasonal fruits & liked the taste of coffee. I would like to thank Mark who served our table. He was great!
Excellent breakfast spot with unbelievable service! My wife had the French toast (with Maple syrup, of course) & I had the Montreal Benny. Both were wonderful. The service was amazing. We sat on the patio on a beautiful July morning & had a very relaxing meal. A wonderful place to start your day.
A chain breakfast place. The menu is extensive & has a little bit for every diet. They serve some breakfast cocktails. Service is fast & the place is usually busy. Reservations recommended. The atmosphere is modern & clean. This location is in the center of all the action in Montreal.

Eggspectation is a well-known Canadian restaurant chain known for its creative all-day breakfasts, brunches, & casual dining options - with popular menu items like eggs
Benedict, omelettes, pancakes, & gourmet coffee.
There are several locations, especially in Montreal, & this is a local favorite for weekend brunch
Since my stay here at the hotel I have enjoyed breakfast at Eggspectation on a number of occasions. Nikiias has been my waiter & aside from the excellent service he provides his very pleasant conversation & friendly personality has made my stay & visit to the restaurant a highlight of my Jazz festival visit.
I highly recommend eating at Eggspectation & asking for Nikiias to be your waiter.
