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.

Rebel was an amazing server at Eggspectation! Super friendly, attentive, & made the whole experience really enjoyable. He checked in on us often, made sure everything was perfect, & had such a great attitude the entire time. The food came out great & the service was even better thanks to him. Definitely one of the best restaurant experiences we've had
Had a wonderful experience at Eggspectation in Montreal. The service was exceptional from start to finish - the staff was friendly, attentive, & genuinely focused on making sure everyone was comfortable & happy. We come to Montreal once a year & always make sure to come here for breakfast because the experience is consistently excellent. What truly stood out this time was the manager's attention to detail & customer care. Even though only the downstairs section was open, the manager knew that we enjoy sitting upstairs in the booths &, without hesitation, accommodated us. That level of hospitality & personal attention is rare to find these days. The food was excellent, the atmosphere welcoming, & the entire experience made us feel genuinely valued as customers. Highly recommend visiting when in Montreal

We loved the food so much-everything we tried was absolutely delicious. The pancakes & crêpes were especially yummy, perfectly cooked & full of flavor. The Eggs Benedict was also a standout-rich, fresh, & incredibly tasty. Highly recommended!
Rubel was an eggcellent waiter! Our coffee & water was always full, & the food was hot, fresh, & delicious. The restaurant was clean & inviting. No complaints here!
Ranjan was the greatest server I've ever had the pleasure of dining with. He doesn't react, he anticipates the diner's needs & hooks you up at each stage of the dining experience.
We just arrived in Mtl this morning & needed breakfast. After a quick search we decided to try Eggspectation. Its interior is very cool, with another level upstairs. We were greeted very politely. Our server was fantastic, checking back with us just enough. The food came out super fast, portions were big, & food was tasty. Definitely worth going, we'd go back without question. Only thing I was I remembered to take some photos to shared.
Our experience at Eggspectation was awesome! Our server Ihab made us feel welcome & took great care of us. We would come back just for his service. The food was great & the coffee was endless & perfect for a cold day like today.
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.
