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.

Merci à Marc pour l'excellent service! Je ne peux pas noter la nourriture, puisque je n'ai pris qu'un café, mais mon ami a semblé apprécier ses oeufs bénédictines.
We had breakfast & I tried the Omelet with a coffee & fruits. I loved the seasonal fruits & liked the taste of coffee. I would like to thank Mark who served our table. He was great!

Pancakes exceptionnels ! Très bon endroit pour un goûter, ambiance & service agréables, des produits bien frais.. Un lieu où l'on a facilement l'envie d'y revenir. 👍
Excellent breakfast spot with unbelievable service! My wife had the French toast (with Maple syrup, of course) & I had the Montreal Benny. Both were wonderful. The service was amazing. We sat on the patio on a beautiful July morning & had a very relaxing meal. A wonderful place to start your day.
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.

Eggspectation is a well-known Canadian restaurant chain known for its creative all-day breakfasts, brunches, & casual dining options - with popular menu items like eggs
Benedict, omelettes, pancakes, & gourmet coffee.
There are several locations, especially in Montreal, & this is a local favorite for weekend brunch
Very good food, lots of vegetables in the crepe, & LOVED the waffle fries! Would like a few more vegetarian options (eg- beyond meat swaps for the burgers).
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.
There is a blonde woman who distributes the orders, thank you very much, I had filter coffee twice for changing my cold coffee & in general, it is a very clean & relevant place, so thank you very much
