Great brunch here, love the idea of Montreal benny & it tastes equally good! Enzo served my table, he is a super nice guy & is very helpful for visitors like me. Would definitely come again next time I visit Montreal
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.
A great choice for brunch, great food, lots of choices & a comfortable atmosphere. My server Ihab was prompt, & polite making for even better experience. Highly recommend.
The serving staff are polite, considerate & friendly. Didn't have to wait to get a table. The washrooms/ toilets were clean & well stocked.
Their Menu was vast yet the food was delicious. Their smoothies were refreshing especially on a hot humid day. The serving staff would come & refill your water glasses with cold refreshing water voluntarily. Overall Nice place to have breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner.
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!
