Eggspectation in Montreal is a great brunch spot with a fun atmosphere & a lot of character. I visited the location near Peel Metro Station, which makes it very convenient to get to if you're exploring downtown Montreal. The location is surrounded by shopping, hotels, cafés, & plenty of things to see & do, making it a perfect place to stop for a meal while spending the day in the city.
When I arrived, it was definitely very busy & crowded, but that also added to the lively brunch atmosphere. Even with the crowd, the service was great. Our waitress was very friendly, welcoming, & attentive, which made the experience even better.
The portions are huge! The food was delicious, fresh, & very filling. I honestly couldn't finish my meal, but thankfully I was able to get a takeout bag & enjoy the leftovers later. The quality & quantity of the food definitely make it a good value.
I also loved the atmosphere of the restaurant. There is plenty of seating, including additional space upstairs, & you can choose to sit indoors or on the patio. Sitting outside was especially enjoyable because you can relax, enjoy your meal, & people-watch while taking in the energy of downtown Montreal.
The only reason I'm giving it four stars instead of five is because the wait & crowds can be a bit much during busy times, but that's also a sign of how popular the restaurant is.
Overall, Eggspectation is a fun brunch experience with great food, generous portions, friendly service, & a wonderful Montreal vibe. I would definitely come back!
Amazing food, alot of menu choices for everyone. Beautiful outdoor patio. Quite an experience people watching with the occasional homeless person screaming at nothing. Good entertainment. Just ingore them & they'll leave after a minute or to. Would recommend
