At Eggspectation, we give you plenty of space in a warm and a welcoming ambiance, and you are always comfortably seated.

Super expérience chez Eggspectation Maisonneuve ! Les oeufs bénédictine au homard étaient excellents. Service rapide, cadre agréable, parfait pour un brunch réussi.

Eggspectation - Maisonneuve offers a solid breakfast & brunch experience with a wide variety of menu items to choose from. The portions were decent & satisfying, though not overly large. While the prices could be a bit more competitive, they're still fair for the quality & atmosphere. The staff were incredibly polite, well-dressed, & respectful, adding a professional yet friendly touch to the visit. The warm & welcoming environment made the overall experience very enjoyable. Definitely a great spot to start your day!
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.

a new years day brunch with the family was a great way to spend some time together. 5 stars, we had no issues. all of the staff, Johanna esp, that we interacted with were great. from being advised to where to park the car, dining, then receiving the bill & leaving, all super people to deal with. food & drinks all great. i had the southwest sunrise omlette. not busy place 10am new years day but you could see that it has busy times. well maintained & clean place, we had a booth upstairs. there used to be an eggspectations on decarie, ruby foos, but no more so we had to drive downtown. got there in under 20 minutes from st laurent but it was new years day! we will return for sure.
I have been going to Eggspectation since I was a kid & I'm now in my 30s. They hands-down have the most generous portion sizes, the most consistent food quality, the most consistent service, & I've got to say also the best side fruit salad, like you can tell that this restaurant cares about its customers if you only look at the fruit salad. It's always fresh. They have berries in there. They usually have half a banana & then they have a bunch of other stuff. I love this place this place & it's my go to spot to bring people who are looking for an easy brunch for a large crowd or for people passing through Montreal
I took my daughter & her friend for a lovely brunch here the other day. The food was great as always. The service was excellent, with our waiter Enzo, being attentive & extremely polite. I can highly recommend!
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.
Best place to have brunch in Montreal!!! Lotta of options & portions were large. They have fresh juice that was a big plus. They even mixed grapefruit & orange juice for us.
