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!

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.

I had a great experience at Eggspectation. It's a stylish, trendy place with a very pleasant atmosphere.
The food was delicious, & the portions were generous - so large that I couldn't finish my meal & had to take the rest with me. The service was exceptionally polite & welcoming, & you can really feel that the restaurant takes pride in what they do.
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
Eggspectation has a huge menu with all kinds of breakfast, brunch & lunch options. The food is tasty & the portions generous, definitely enough to fill you up 🍳🥩
The variety of drinks is so refreshing & yummilicious ☕?🍹

Wow! Eggspectation truly blew me away! From the moment I stepped in, I was captivated by the vibrant atmosphere & the mouthwatering aroma of delicious food. The staff worked tirelessly to keep everything running smoothly, & their efforts did not go unnoticed. Every bite of the meal was a delight, flawlessly prepared & full of flavor. My only wish is that I could visit again soon - it's that good! Hats off to Eggspectation for creating such an unforgettable brunch experience!
We had an enjoyable brunch at Eggspectation which is attached to the Complex Desjardin shopping centre. The crepes were delicious & the spritzer cocktails were refreshing & generously sized. Our server Naomi D. was excellent providing attentive, courteous & professional service. The modern ambiance is terrific, providing for a great brunch experience. Highly recommended!
Food was very good portion & quality. The service is very good & special thanks to Naomi for her welcoming service, she was very atrentive & kind. I Highly recommend Eggs spectation Complex Desjardins Montreal downtown.
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.
