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.
Excellent choice of brunch menu - crepes & eggs & veg nice burgers -
Generous portions & great quality at very reasonable price
Enjoyed the chicken & spinach crepes as well as the burger
Smoothie of the day was super healthy & very good & the latte bol very large with lots of foam though
The food was EGG-cellent! . We had the Veggie Omelet, American breakfast, & the Choco-Banana crepe. All were amazing & the side potatoes were the best I've ever had. The service by Marc A. was excellent. Very friendly & attentive. We enjoyed our visit! Thank you!
My boyfriend & I enjoyed breakfast here two days in a row. Very nice atmosphere. Both got eggs been, I the salmon & he the smoked meats. Delicious. Best home fries ever.. Even tried friend toast. So good. 10/10.
Wonderful place for breakfast! It was about a 10 minute walk from our hotel downtown. Our server was so pleasant, kind & very welcoming. I got an egg platter with pancakes, potatoes & sausage. It was totally delicious!!! Definitely recommend as a spot to come & eat at
We ordered veggie crepe & eggstravaganza French toast (without meat - extra egg) along with Hot chocolate with whipped cream. All tasted extremely well. Hot chocolate with whipped cream : 9/10 Eggstravaganza French toast : 10/10 Veggie Crepe : 8/10 The service was lovely as well. Overall a nice experience. Thank you!
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.
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!
This place is a must-visit if you are in Montreal! The food is wonderful to start. I got the Eggspectation crepe & it was cooked perfectly & tasted magnificent. What surprised me was how good the service was even on such a busy Saturday morning as it was when we went. I think this place deserves far more than five starts!
Nikitas provided the best service experience of our entire Montreal visit. After one visit, he memorized our entire order, including allergy concerns & add-ons! The second day we came for breakfast, we didn't have to say a word, he remembered it all. He was also on top of coffee refills & making sure we were happy with our food. All the food was delicious. I had the Eggspectation Omelette & it was amazing. I highly recommend that you visit, & ask for Nikitas!

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.
