En arrivant à ce restaurant ce matin, Naomi D. nous a chaleureusement accueillis dès notre entrée au deuxième étage de l'établissement. La même employée s'est occupé de notre commande. Sa prestation était impeccable: polie, coutoise & professionnelle.
Toutefois l'ambiance sonore & musicale a gâché une partie de notre plaisir. Un jazz agressant criait ses hautes & arythmiques notes tandis que les conduits du système de ventilation au-dessus de nos têtes grondaient & vibraient tout en écoulant de l'air'un peu trop fraîche' sur les épaules. Comble de malchance, nous avons dus remettre nos manteaux légers pour ne pas être inconfortables -- -Toutefois il faut mentionner que Naomi, la serveuse, a fait de son mieux pour nous aider mais, la seule autre place disponible ( pour nous un couple) se situait près des toilettes...au final nous avons décidé de rester à notre place initiale -un peu dépité!
Quant aux plats servis, les assiettes & la nourriture étaient'correctes': rien à redire mis a part l'absence de ce'quelque chose' d'appétissant, de joyeux ou de colorés.
En sommes, un endroit où l'on y mange bien, sans plus. Les prix étaient OK.

Went there to satisfy diverse food requests from my family - healthy veggie dish, crepe, & a Montral bagles. They had them all! Good price & people were very kind!
It's a good brunch. Nothing extraordinary but good for groups. They have a nice patio but unfortunately there were renovations at Place des arts so the view wasn't ideal. The patio is covered so pretty practical.
We ordered some eggs with avocado. Super yum-yum! Especially with Valentina hot sauce - the magic witch 🧙?♀?!
Recommend to have a table outdoors, don't ( just don't order Americano. Kinda weird taste).

Ma femme m'a proposé de tester cette adresse repérée via la géolocalisation de notre hôtel. Bien noté, on s'est dit : pourquoi pas ?
Dès notre arrivée, l'accueil a été irréprochable chaleureux & professionnel & cette qualité de service s'est maintenue jusqu'à notre départ.
La carte est variée, que ce soit pour le petit-déjeuner, le déjeuner ou le dîner. Le service est rapide, les plats savoureux, & les smoothies particulièrement réussis.
Deux jours plus tard, nous y sommes retournés. Une erreur de commande m'a fait découvrir un plat que je n'aurais probablement jamais choisi… & qui s'est révélé être une excellente surprise !
Une adresse à retenir, où l'on sent que tout est fait pour passer un bon moment.
Restaurant excellent ! Nous avons pris les oeufs Bénédicte aux canards confis qui étaient délicieux, de plus notre serveur Francis était très sympathique & poli. Je recommande fortement !
I went to eggspectation. I ordered the salmon bagel with cream cheese & capers with homemade potatoes. It was so good & tasty. I also had s'mores French toast once & it was so good & chocolatey. Definitely recommend this place!
Had brunch at Eggspectation & it was delicious. I ordered the Eggs Benedict & it was really well done-the eggs were perfectly poached & the hollandaise sauce was rich & flavorful. Portion size was solid, & the service was quick & friendly. Great spot for a satisfying brunch. I'd definitely come back.
Had a hearty breakfast at this lovely spot in the city center. The food was delicious & filling, the service was fast & friendly, & the location is perfect. Highly recommend.
Enjoyed the food, my partner enjoyed the prime rib sandwich & said It's been the best sandwich he's had in canada so far... usually he complains in restaurants. Our server was Mark & he was really friendly❤?❤?🤗
