Eggspectation is described as a popular, bustling brunch spot with a wide all day menu that covers breakfast, brunch and lunch and is known for generous portions and solid classics like eggs Benedict, crepes, omelettes, and French toast. The atmosphere is repeatedly praised as modern, lively and welcoming, with many noting friendly, attentive service that helps keep things moving even when busy. Guests frequently mention reliable preparation and tasty dishes, including good coffee and fresh-squeezed juice, while some reviews point out occasional misses such as dishes that are overly greasy or too spicy and prices that can feel high for the quality. Several reviews highlight convenient options for families and groups, patio dining when weather permits, and quick seating or efficient service during peak hours. Overall the consensus is that Eggspectation provides a dependable brunch and breakfast experience with generous portions, diverse choices, and a warm, energetic setting that draws repeat visits from locals and travelers alike, though it may not meet every expectation and can be busy or pricey at times.
Food was decent enough, probably better than I was expecting but the service was bad. For a table of 6 there were multiple errors & the server gave us attitude instead of just fixing it. In my case they lost my order, then forgot the re-order & then in their rush forgot other elements on the plate. Not what I was expecting for what we paid (over 50$ each).
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.
We love going here for breakfast when we visit our daughter in Montreal! We love that we feel like regulars as Nikitas already knows exactly what we want to order & remembers it down to the detail! We love Cayenne's smile when we walk in, & missed her on our last trip yesterday!!!
Come to this location everytime we are in Montreal. The food & service is always great. Nikitas is just one of the amazing staff they have. Can't wait to come back again.
My family & I spent a few days in Montreal for a concert & came across this establishment best breakfast we had while we were there hands down! Nikitas was our server both days we went & he was absolutely excellent!
Even during peak times the kind & attentive service staff were able to seat my family quickly & deliver our hot & fresh food in a timely manner. If you get the chance to stop by please try their French toast!

Great place to go around & have something to eat. There is a wide array of fast food shops which we don't have in Ottawa. There is an IGA supermarket where you can buy some goods to bring if you are checked into hotels within the area. Parking is great & seems to be safe, make sure to bring along additional locks for your car. If you are checked into nearby hotels, their basement parking is convenient. Overnight 24 hour parking is CA$25, however, I did not reached the 24 hour mark & I only paid CA$15.
This place is excellent & in a very convenient location. I went twice. Sat at the bar & was served by Porag. Thank you to him for an amazing experience that made me go back a second time with friends. Great atmosphere & the food was amazing. Great coffee & fresh juices also. Thank you guys!!!
