From breakfast to lunch to dinner, with family or friends, our wish is to make your visit an exceptional experience. We only take two things seriously: our food and service!

At Eggspectation, we give you plenty of space in a warm and a welcoming ambiance, and you are always comfortably seated. Our upscale interior decor includes colourful murals, rustic cement columns, stone and brick walls, and an open kitchen. Private meeting rooms featuring a flat-screen TV and Wi-Fi are available in some restaurants. Three qualities are essential to work at Eggspectation: you must be energetic, friendly and well trained. We are proud of our team, who treat our customers the way they would a guest in their own home—so your visit to Eggspectation is a pure joy.

I spent a week in Montréal visiting friends & one day I took a friend to eat here. Upon entering we were welcomed & assigned a table near the window. Out waiter Emmanuel(I think his name was Emmanuel I lost the receipt unfortunately with his name on it) was nice & courteous.
The menu was extensive so I took a bit of time to order. Thats when the manager came over & said'troubles reading? They'll be a reading test in a bit' we were both confused as Ive spoken & read French for over 25 years yet he came making the joke in which we both replied with a nervous laugh. The food was a bit pricey for the quality but I was very hungry so I didnt mind too much.
I noticed they had a wall with currency bills of diffrent countries, I traveled to Argentina the next day after this happened & had Argentinian pesos on me. I returned maybe 45 minutes later & they must of forgotten I was just there that day(which is fine) because the reception I received was very diffrent. I came to gift them a 1000 peso bill from Argentina as they had 100,200 & 500 pesos from Argentina on the wall but not 1000 so I figured why not give them a bill to put up on the wall. I said this is for you guys to put up on your wall with the other bills. The manager looked at me funny as if I was trying to scam them, looked at the bill that clearly said'republica de Argentina' on it & said'I dont know what this is' I replied'it clearly says Argentina on there, do you want it for your wall?' He said no & shooed me out of the restaurant.
A very bizarre & uncomfortable experience, ill definitely be steering away from this place next time im in Montréal. The waiter was nice but aside from that the whole experience left me with a bad taste in my mouth & super uncomfortable as if I was doing something wrong for trying to gift them a 1000 peso bill(which is like $1 CAD)
Rubel was an eggcellent waiter! Our coffee & water was always full, & the food was hot, fresh, & delicious. The restaurant was clean & inviting. No complaints here!
Super belle découverte. Ambiance chaleureuse, service rapide & attentionné. Les plats sont frais, délicieux & bien présentés, avec des portions parfaites. Même le café vaut le détour. Clairement une adresse à garder.
This place was the perfect breakfast spot! Cozy atmosphere, our waiter Rubel was so helpful & friendly. Excellent service, excellent food. Would definitely come back here when in Montreal again! Thank you so much!
Me & my husband visited this location twice & we enjoyed our experience both times. The servers are warm, friendly & welcoming. Rubel was an awesome server & we really enjoyed his service! Despite being busy, the food arrived quickly. Highly recommend this place 👍

My son & I had French toast & bacon - both were excellent. Our server Ranjan was the best part though. It takes special service for an 8-year old to bring up how excellent the waiter is. Thanks!
