A great brunch spot! My partner & I split the southwest omelet & the french toast flambé. The portions are both generous & delicious! The service is great & the space is nicely decorated, too. Would recommend!
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!
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.
Been coming here for YEARS with my family, the hostesses & servers are all lovely. Nikita always brings immaculate vibes & always goes the extra mile to make customers feel special, we always ask to be seated in his section! The food & service is excellent, always fun new menu changes to keep it fresh too. 😍 mr owner/manager is also super sweet & friendly. Highly recommend!
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 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.
Reasonably friendly service, & all the dishes look delicious. Unfortunately, I made a poor choice on my second visit - the dish was too spicy for my taste (which is entirely my fault, not the restaurant's). The atmosphere is fairly welcoming, but it has a bit of a franchise vibe, so it's not super cozy. Still, I recommend checking it out.
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.

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.
We ordered some eggs with avocado. Super yum-yum! Especially with Valentina hot sauce - the magic witch 🧙?♀?! Recommend to have a table outdoors, don't ( just don't order Americano. Kinda weird taste).
Restaurant excellent ! Nous avons pris les oeufs Bénédicte aux canards confis qui étaient délicieux, de plus notre serveur Francis était très sympathique & poli. Je recommande fortement !

I went to eggspectation. I ordered the salmon bagel with cream cheese & capers with homemade potatoes. It was so good & tasty. I also had s'mores French toast once & it was so good & chocolatey. Definitely recommend this place!
