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.
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!

I just want to write this review to thank our wonderful waiter , Mark, today. He went above & beyond to make us happy. Kept refilling our coffee mugs, checked on us frequently, & the service was fast. Thanks so much Mark!
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!

The food was ok For what it was, it was quite expensive. I asked the hostess if we could sit in 1 of the booths. When I got here, only 1 was being used, & since that 1 table left, none. She said no because it's for groups of 4. I understand if the place was busy, but it was not, obviously. This is why I lowered the service rating. There is one more reason, but I am not comfortable writing that publicly.
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!
