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!

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.

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!
Me & my husband visited this location twice & we enjoyed our experience both times. The servers are warm, friendly & welcoming. Rubel was an awesome server & we really enjoyed his service! Despite being busy, the food arrived quickly. Highly recommend this place 👍
An eclectic vibe, great service, & tasty food. I had the Mykonos omelet, highly recommend. Their menu has a variety of options that will appeal to all tastes... not just a breakfast place. Will go back.

I had an amazing experience at this restaurant! The highlight of my visit was the exceptional service provided by Enzo. He was incredibly friendly, attentive, & made me feel truly welcome. Enzo recommended the smoothie & the lobster omelette, & both were absolutely delicious! The smoothie was refreshing & perfectly balanced, while the lobster omelette was packed with flavor & cooked to perfection. Thank you, Enzo, for making my dining experience so enjoyable. I will definitely be coming back & highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great food & outstanding service!
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!
This is Canada's version of First Watch. Fresh, fun, innovative, smash shops that are full of flavor. We thoroughly enjoyed the service & atmosphere. The weather was perfect & we sat outside our glasses empty & my wife absolutely orange ricotta, & dark cherry compote French toast. I had their Mediterranean wings, which were absolutely delightful. I would have that same lineup again & again. Highly recommend, would go back.
