Bem na rue Sainte-Catherine, uma avenida principal e com muito comércio, encontramos este restaurante. Procuravamos um pequeno almoço tipo americano e este, sem dúvida, surpreendeu! Adoramos tudo... a comida, o atendimento, o espaço e o ambiente...
Vamos voltar!!
Sehr leckeres Essen, reichhaltig und qualitativ hochwertig. 😊
Der Service ist freundlich und zuvorkommend. Preis-Leistungsverhältnis ist angemessen. Sehr empfehlenswert!
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.

Members of my family are immunocompromised, so I need to eat outside, & this place was very accommodating. They have covered seating, but they don't assume anyone wants to eat outside, in the cold. One waiter agreed to wait on me outside! Food was served quickly after I ordered, & it was very beautifully plated! This place is magnifique!

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.
We had the pleasure of eating at this restaurant two mornings in a row. The food was fantastic! We were fortunate enough to be served both days, luckily, by the same server. Max. She was wonderful with us. She was funny & cheerful & did her job extremely well. Max's personality probably guaranteed that we'll be back here the next time we're in Montreal. Thank you for making our visits memorable Max!
This location was very unique with the artistic elements all over the walls. Made for a great atmosphere. Our hostess & server were very friendly & accommodating. The food was fabulous.
