Very overrated & not recommended. We only tried the coffee, but that was enough for us to cancel our breakfast order. My Americano tasted watery & looked like even worse than gas station coffee , & the extra-hot cappuccino we specifically requested came out cold with a bad taste. For a brunch/café with nearly 2,000 reviews, this was extremely disappointing. If a café can't get basic coffee right, we didn't want to risk our last breakfast in Montreal here.
Beatrice was wonderful! Such a bright spot & she took great care of us. The food was great & prices were good. We had the poutine & breakfast tacos. My latte was delicious! Will definitely return the next time we're in Montreal! Merci beaucoup, Beatrice!
We went to this location last week twice for breakfast. We went one morning & the server, the service & the food was amazing! We were from out of town & the server was really nice to us. The food was great too! However!…..we went back 3 days later, & just so happened to get the same server as the first time. (Girl with glasses & piercings-can't remember her name). We saw this & were like oh great! We had such a great experience last time this will be just as good if not better! Boy were we wrong! So when we sat down we said hello & my wife just said we are in a bit of a hurry this morning as we have a flight to catch, so we know what we are going to order can we please order it now? Well I guess that pissed off the server as there was an immediate change in the body language & attitude from our server. So we ordered the exact same order the we did 3 days prior, the only difference if our daughter instead of wanting pancakes wanted waffles this time. So we place the order & then have to wait & wait & wait for the drinks to come. & then we have to wait even more for our food. & by this point tables that were sat after us were starting to get their food orders first. Then when the food finally came out the portions were a lot smaller than they were just day days prior. Also, the piece of toast I had on my plate was burnt to a crisp! It was black! Then they placed eggs on top so it became a mushy mess. My wife's eggs Benedict were also burnt. The vacant had to give up trying to chew it as it was tougher than rubber! All the sides were cold. The coffee was cold as well as the bottom of the cups were loaded with coffee grinds.
The first time we were there the server as constantly checking in on us making sure everything was ok, she would refill the'bottomless' coffee all the time. She brought a plate with pieces of toast with jam & peanut butter. This time we didn't get any of that. She never checked on us. There was no toast, & we didn't get a refill of this'bottomless' coffee until we paid the bill as asked for more coffee!
I would have given this a 5 star review had this second experience hadn't been this way.
The only reason we could come up with why this time was so bad, is because we had just said that we had a plane to catch. We weren't rude, we were polite about it but they just seemed to want to make our experience a bad one.
10/10 breakfast spot with cool options on the menu. I got the breakfast sandwich & my friend got the breakfast tacos. Along with freshly squeezed orange juice!!Really good cure for a hangover.
We stopped at Eggspectation during our Montreal visit & had an absolutely wonderful breakfast experience. The food was delicious, the portions were generous, & the service was outstanding.
I ordered the L'AMÉRICAIN, & it was the perfect breakfast choice. The ingredients were fresh, the flavours came together beautifully, & everything was prepared with great attention to detail. My daughter ordered the EGGSPECTATION CRÊPE, which she thoroughly enjoyed. It was beautifully presented, flavourful, & a great way to start the day.
Beyond the food, what really stood out was the service. The staff were friendly, welcoming, & attentive without being overbearing. They made sure we had everything we needed & helped create a relaxed & enjoyable dining experience.
Eggspectation offers more than just breakfast; it provides a great atmosphere, quality food, & the kind of service that makes you want to return. We would definitely visit again the next time we are in Montreal.
My first breakfast at Montreal & it didn't disappoint! The eggspectation omelette is super huge (I think I can skip lunch), yummy & full of ingredients! The salad was refreshing too. I'm happy that they accomodated my request for a flat white - thank you 🫶
I cannot imagine starting my day without coffee! ☕?
My husband & I just had the best breakfast of our lives. We both ordered the pain dore flambe, with house coffee, & everything was beyond our expectations. The food was immaculately prepared & presented, the coffee tasted robust & fresh, & our lovely waiter kept the refills coming. I honestly was beyond impressed with this place & am very thankful the experience. My only regret is that I did not get our server's name to include it here. He was incredibly attentive, & a very lovely man. Merci beaucoup pour les service (& la nourriture) exceptionnel!
Best breakfast in Montreal. We came up for the jazz festival & planned to walk just about everywhere we went within the vicinity. We were in town for seven breakfasts - & five of them were here. Omelettes were spot on & if you ordered fruit as a side, you got a lot of it. & FRESH. The OJ is fresh-squeezed. By the end of the week our server was our friend. We even hugged him good-bye, & I'm not a hugger by nature.
