Eggstatic has become a popular destination in Montreal for those seeking a diverse and flavorful halal brunch experience.

The restaurant is widely recognized for its modern, aesthetically pleasing, and welcoming atmosphere, which serves as a great backdrop for family gatherings or outings with friends.

We arrived at 12:30 & were seated promptly, I don't usually leave negative reviews & often assume it's just an off day, but after reading other reviews, it seems this is an ongoing issue.
To start, we sat for about 15 minutes without water or menus, & my husband had to go ask for them twice for menus After finally receiving them, we reviewed the menu & placed our order as soon as our server returned, concerned it might take a while for them to come back again. We ordered coffee, milk for our son, & an iced matcha latte. The coffee & milk arrived after about 10 minutes , but the matcha latte never came - no milk or cream for coffee so my husband drank it black. & we didn't mention it, not wanting to add to their workload.
The biggest issue was the wait for food. We waited approximately 1 hour & 30 minutes. Our son's pancakes arrived at 1:47, about 10-15 minutes before the rest of the meals. When our food finally came, it was barely warm. After such a long wait, we expected hot, fresh dishes.
We also noticed that other tables who arrived well after us were receiving their food before us. However, even then, their entire table wasn't served at the same time.. only 2 out of 6 people received their meals while the others continued waiting. This showed that the issue wasn't just delays, but overall disorganization in how food was being prepared & served.
I ordered the fried chicken Benedict with spicy hot sauce on the side, which was missing & had to be requested afterward. Based on the temperature & overall quality, I would rate it around 6/10-the hash browns were barely warm. My other son ordered the Tomato Jacket, which didn't resemble what was described on the menu & was very disappointing 2/10 It didn't look appetizing at all. I felt really bad for him. My husband had the steak & eggs, which he said was just okay, around a 6.5/10.
When our food arrived, we didn't even have utensils.
Overall, the service felt very disorganized. We had a different server each time someone came to our table, & no one seemed to be assigned specific sections. There was very little communication or follow-up throughout our visit, which made the experience more frustrating.
It seems like a management issue rather than just a busy day. Some suggestions that could improve the experience:
• Assign servers to specific sections for better accountability
• Have basic items like water, menus, & utensils ready for quick service
• Consider adding QR codes at tables as a backup for menus
• Ensure better coordination in the kitchen so food is served together & hot
• Hire & train staff who are engaged & attentive to customers
I really wanted to like this place, especially as a halal brunch option, & I genuinely hope they succeed. Based on other reviews, this appears to be an ongoing problem. I'm not looking for a response-just for these issues to be addressed & improved.
We went to Ecstatic Restaurant for Suhoor & had a mixed experience.
It took 1 hour & 5 minutes to receive our plates, which is quite long - especially during Suhoor when timing is important. There were also a couple of mistakes with our order. We asked for multigrain bread but were served white bread instead, & the white bread was dry, almost as if it had been toasted & left aside. The potatoes on the plate seemed dry & not very fresh, & the sunny-side-up eggs looked like they may have been sitting before being served. I had the steak, which was okay, but overall the plate felt that it was put aside & lost it's freshness.
That said, Zainab, our waitress, was excellent - kind, professional, & clearly doing her best. She was the only waitress handling a full crowd, with just one chef & one bus girl supporting. The issue seemed to be understaffing rather than lack of effort. Because of her service, we still left an 18% tip.
Based on the food & wait time alone, this would have been a one-star experience. However, because of Zainab's service & attitude, I'm giving three stars.
This place has potential, but better staffing & kitchen coordination - especially during busy Suhoor nights - would make a big difference.
Amazing experience from start to finish. The service was outstanding & every dish was perfectly seasoned & full of flavor. You can really taste the freshness of the ingredients. A must-try - I'll definitely be going back.

Delicious food ! Great service ! Food was amazing with good portions ! They have so many different kinds of dishes & I want to try all of them. Definitely mediteranian/middleeastern with a fusion of Canadian classics. The food was fresh & I cannot wait to go back. Definitely my favourite spot for brunch in griffintown if not Montreal !!
Took 35-45 mins before someone came to take our order after we were seated...thats also after I spoke to one of the waiters to send someone because we have been waiting for a while. ❌?
Ordered the shakshuka & eggstatic steak & eggs with a vanilla foam matcha latte. ✅?
The shakshuka wasn't good, more tangy than anything & the bread (pita) that was given with it was not fresh at all, it was actually like hard rock. Asked the waiter to have it replaced after showing him & he agreed.❌?
The eggstatic steak & eggs barely had steaks & the potatoes were overcooked & bland.❌?
As for the vanilla foam matcha latte, it had be redone twice & it was still not good & didn't have any foam at all. More diluted in ice....this was removed from our bill at the end.
I think people are just being super nice & not coming back or just deciding to keep quiet because theres not alot of halal brunch places or are just being fake with the rating.❌?
Overall, it wasn't a good experience for our group & we won't be returning.
