BreakfastCrêpesSandwichesBurgersPastaBrunch
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.

Our waitress, Olivia, was the best. First time here for breakfast, & then came back the next day for brunch just because of her service. Food is great, three mains is enough for 4 ppl.

I love Eggspectation, it's one of my favorite breakfast restaurants that I visit when I come to Montreal. Today my waiter, Rubel, was awesome! He was kind, quick & very polite. I hope to see him again when I visit Montreal next.

Fantastic tasting breakfast place with excellent size portions. The omelettes are massive & oh so tasty! The lyonnaise potatoes & sour dough accompaniment with butter is delicious! Try the Smores French toast if you'd like dessert for breakfast. Ask the staff for their recommendations - they give great advice!

THE place to go for breakfast when staying in downtown Montreal as far as I'm concerned. The food is delicious, the coffee hot & plentiful, the servce prompt & friendly, & the expansive view of the street from the second floor dining room is a unique pleasure, esp. once the sun goes behind the building across the street.

I think is a decent place for brunch. In my opinion it's a bit overpriced. The breakfast options while vast are all similar. Replacement of potatoes that are the main choice for everything is relatively expensive, making all breakfast options a little less light & very heavy. The day we went the potatoes were also under seasoned. So bland potatoes with your breakfast is a disappointment. To replace the potatoes it's 6$, kinda pricy if you simply prefer lighter side. Other than that options are min 20$. That's quite pricy for the portion & I want to say limited modifications allowance. I would not mind if I could change potatoes to a salad, but otherwise kinda a let down. Drinks are good. Coffee is good. Portion size okay. It's decent place for breakfast but if I'm honest I think there are better out there for the price. That being said, you will find something you would be satisfied with on the menu for sure. Hence 4 stars. The staff was kind. Due to being busy it just takes a little while for service. I'd recommend if it's your vibe.
