I have always loved going to Eggspectation for brunch. This was my first time at this perticular location. As always the food was great. We were seated by the patio door & felt a breeze of cold air evey time the door was opened. We asked if we could move to a booth & were told those are for parties of four only. That must be a restaurant policy because while there were two vacant booths, we could see couples waiting to be seated. I just find it strange that a restaurant would prioritize customs who might show up over customers who are already there. Sitting by the patio door was definitely not pleasant please avoid that spot. Our food got cold very fast, even my hot chocolate felt nice & cool.

I had a lovely experience on a rainy Saturday afternoon. Sat at the espresso bar, got the Montreal Benedict with salad, extra bacon, coffee, & an Aperol spritz (with oj added).
Very personable staff & very good food. Prices were reasonable for the area.
Pour voir la file d'attente devant le restaurant & le nombre de personnes en train de manger, j'ai étais agréablement surpris par la rapidité & la qualité du service, la serveuse a pris le temps de nous servir correctement & très rapidement, les plats nous ont régalé !!! Le prix est très très correct.
A party of 3 with 2 people addicted to egg benedict, so it made sense to come the the closest location to have our breakfast: lobster Benedict, crab cake Benedict with me liking plain eggs.
The surprise was the watermellon slices, which was a great touch after having eggs. & thanks to our waiter, an Oriental guy (secretly I wished him to be our waiters as the others seem not to be bothered much) who paid attention to everything: how I like my bread etc. You might think: why be fussy? Well, otherwise I cannot eat or small things done not the way I like them simply make me physically sick.
This place is beautifully decorated, even the bathrooms are amazing & is located in a great area: as we returned around lunch time we noticed how busy & 'crazy' this are became all of a sudden. At night it might be madness.

Food has good taste, orange juice was not cold & waited for 15 minutes to get a straw.
Atmosphere is noisy with music.
Staff! What I can tell, they talk to each other & not paying attention to the customers.
The food was great, we had burgers for lunch & they were really tasty & properly spiced, with a sunny side up egg inside the burger. The staff is friendly & attentive, even during peak hours. Nice location at the corner of Desjardins complex, overlooking St. Catherine Street & the Place des Arts.

The food tasted amazing & priced appropriately too. No pressure to leave & we took our time to enjoy the omelets. Had the Montreal omelette & it came with potatoes & watermelon & pineapple. The best potatos by far I've had at a diner style restaurant. Eggs were delicious too! Naturally the vibe was on point with stairs taking you to the second level.
Eggspectation was up to the expectation 😋👌
Staff was very friendly in this branch.
They tailored perfectly to our needs.
They customized the omletes as we need.
Try it for sure.

Wish Toronto will have this restaurant too, the potato & egg omelets are very good. Even though it's a chain, they keep the food quality & the services are good.
Fabulous 5 star experience with service & food. Great array of choices . Be prepared to have to wait for a table but it’s worth it!!! If you’re looking for a quiet relaxing breakfast this is not the place for you . It’s big , loud & buzzing
