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.

This restaurant is one of the hidden gems in Montreal. We found it on a trip here a year ago & came back twice this trip. We have had brunch twice & dinner tonight & it didn't disappoint. The staff here are amazing, every visit makes us think we just had the best server ever. We have never had trouble getting a table here even during very busy times. Do yourself a favour & visit soon & often!
As an someone who isn't really the talkative type during the mornings, I appreciated Ranjan's service! If you're looking for a brunch/lunch spot with a really cozy vibe, I would suggest checking this place out even if you're alone! The food was great, I had a Fresh Start where the fruits that come with it were served fresh! I also had an espresso macchiato but if you're not into the bitterness of coffee, it would be best to add a good amount of sugar. Overall a 10/10 place for me & I will definitely come back to try out more of what they have to offer :))

Amazing spot to come for brunch. Albert our server was very friendly & quick with his service, always coming around with water & making sure we were all good. Absolutely recommend for anyone looking for a big breakfast that will fill you up & make you satisfied!
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.
Brunch heaven in downtown Montreal! 🍳🔥 Massive menu, generous portions, & those waffles? Unreal. 🧇✨ Service is upbeat & fast even when it's packed. Expect a bit of a wait on weekends, but it's worth it. Perfect spot for indulgent breakfast vibes! ☕🥓 Would 100% go back.

Nice ambiance, i had a club sandwich, the chicken was not the freshest but still okay. The fries were clearly re-fried multiple times, they were warm & crispy but didn't have the normal color of a freshly fried fries.
Also had a filter coffee, tasted like the end of a coffee barrel. Very bad.
I would not recommend for the brunch menu given this.
This was best restaurant I had through my stay .if I can give it 10 stars I would . service was great the setting was amazing .the food was wonderful...fresh squeeze juice was fabulous...im going again tomorrow .no complaints.if you want breakfast or brunch this is the go too hands down ... only reasony bill was high because I'm extra but average is 20 $ person
