Nice breakfast restaurant, that offers a lot of different options for a reasonable price! Last time I had the fried chicken & waffle & a big bowl of Café au lait. All quite good & nothing to complain here!

Best place for breakfast in Montreal! So yummy & our server was amazing. We were so impressed about how good our food was that we had to come back a second time during our five day trip.
Such a good breakfast & brunch spot. The setup is a bit more elegant, posh than I expected but the food is really good. I almost want to say it's like a home cooked meal but it does have a touch of like premium or gourmet to the dishes. I got the Eggstravaganza out whatever. Basically it was 2 pancakes, potatoe slices & eggs (I subbed the pork for an extra egg). Came to CAD 30 which was ridiculously overpriced but it was a really good meal. Best for a nice date or business meeting. Or friends brunch or a nice treat yoself type of deal.
We were meaning to get a light breakfast & my wife & I were a bit shocked by what we got. The food was amazing though & our server was top notch. Even let us know about a few places we needed to check out while we were in Montreal. I don't think there is anything on the menu that would be disappointing, judging by the look of everything as it went by. The breakfast poutine hit the spot & the French toast was perfect. Come hungry, leave happy.
First timer: very nice experience & the waiter was friendly as well. It was 3 of us & 2 ordered the strawberry French toast & 1 ordered a fruit bowl & a smoothie. Also ordered a side of breakfast potatoes The French toast was amazing, very filling, strawberries were great. I definitely recommend this breakfast dish. 10/10 Breakfast potatoes: were 10/10 definitely seasoned nicely & paired well with the ketchup. I would recommend this place. Enjoy 😊
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.

I was in Montreal fof the jazz festival & me & my family had breakfast every morning at this place for 5 straight days!! Nikita Mark & Amanda were awesome servers!!!Food is delicious !!!
I love this restaurant. I visit from NY/PA around 5-6 times a year. I make sure I eat brunch every single day I am in Montreal. The food is amazing. The restaurant is spotless. The service is perfect. I especially adore Nikitas. He actually knows my order whenever I am there. He will see me & immediately get my beverages (diet soda & a glass of wine). We then chat a bit while my order is being prepared. He knows all his customers & truly enjoys his job. It is so refreshing. He makes you feel like family. The entire staff makes sure each guest is cared for & happy. I have been visiting Montreal for over 20 years & have been to many restaurants in the area. I can honestly say that this place is THE BEST for breakfast, brunch, & lunch/early dinner. The menu never disappoints. The staff is incredible. The entire experience is wonderful. I have never been let down by this restaurant. I absolutely recommend it to tourist & locals. It is a gem.
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!
Fantastic spot for an amazing breakfast! Our server Nikaita was so gracious. helpful & cheery. Not enough can be said about the difference that great service makes. It was a pleasure & we hope Nikita can serve us again on our next visit!
Was lovely to come here by myself for breakfast. Service was really good & my server was very nice. The food was sooo good & just the right amount that I was stuffed 😋. Would love to come here again when I visit Montreal!
