Our goal is to maintain the highest possible standards of food quality and service in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere. 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! You'll have a tough time choosing between our exclusive dishes: crepes, soups, salads, omelettes, pasta, steak, chicken, seafood, sandwiches, or our famous Eggs Benedict and fresh squeezed orange juice! Freshly prepared with high-quality ingredients and attractively presented, our menu only has one flaw: you could eat too much! Who says you should be crowded in a restaurant? 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.

First time & I'm pleasantly surprised. Great food, big portions, amazing Mocha. Very quick service as well. Our server Rubel was very kind & attentive.
Found this on a Google search for best brunch places near the fine arts museum & this is what came up. Albert was very efficient & attentive, appreciate it.

Enjoyed an excellent breakfast here in April 2025. Our server, Beatriz, was pleasant, prompt & attentive, & helped us successfully navigate an impressive menu full of very tempting options. The'Eggstraordinary' plate was delicious, the portions generous, & the prices quite reasonable for the quality. Highly satisfied.
Update (Oct. 2025): Returned for more satisfying & tasty breakfasts (same order as before), along with great service from Ranjan!

Went to eggspectation with some friends from Sunday brunch. This was my first time but they had been there a couple of time & recommended it for our meal.
We orded their regular Poutine for the table as an entrée & it was a great start to our lunch.
Was looking to have a french toast breakfast but also wanted something savory, so ended up ordering the chicken🍗 & Waffels & requested that my waffles be substituted with french toast. They were very accommodating to this request.
That was one of the best breakfast🍳🍳 I have had. Just delicious😋😋😋 with a healthy helping of Canadian maple syrup.
Thank you to Rubel, our server for the great & efficient service. He was very attentive to our group.
I will definitely be going back for more amazing brunches I the future.
Ruble was very helpful & extremely pleasant. He was attentive to our needs. I would say that some items came out from the kitchen cold. For example, the potties on two occasions were not hot. I hope y to back on my next visit to Montreal.
The food was delicious, & the serving staff were courteous & attentive. The ambiance added to a pleasant dining experience. However, the manager's behavior was a letdown. In a hospitality setting, respectful communication is key, & unfortunately, he did not reflect that standard. His demeanor came off as arrogant & lacking in basic customer service etiquette. It's disappointing when one person's attitude overshadows the good work of the rest of the team.
