Tout a commencé par un amour des moments simples et délicieux partagés autour d’un bon repas.

Eggstatic est perçu comme une découverte réussie pour un brunch à Montréal, avec une offre variée et généreuse, une ambiance spacieuse et agréable, et un service chaleureux et attentif. Les avis apprécient surtout le caractère halal du menu, la qualité et les portions importantes, ainsi que l'inspiration moyen orientale et fusion canadienne qui donnent des plats savoureux et bien présentés. Le lieu est souvent décrit comme lumineux, moderne et calme, idéal pour un brunch en famille ou entre amis, avec une carte qui propose de nombreuses options allant des eggs Benedict revisités, aux pancakes spéculoos, en passant par des mets comme le shakshuka et le manakeesh. La plupart des avis encouragent à réserver et notent que le rapport qualité prix est raisonnable, malgré quelques critiques sur certains plats ou sur des temps d'attente lors des heures chargées, ainsi qu'une certaine incohérence entre les photos et le goût ou la cuisson de quelques plats d'hiver. Dans l'ensemble, Eggstatic est vu comme une adresse à tester, avec des expériences généralement positives et un désir de revenir.
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.

I go with my partner to have brunch in celebration of my birthday. I heard good things about the place from all the TikToks, & for cultural reasons I rooted for this business.
Cue the disaster! We order 2 plates of food (pulled beef omelette & a sausage egg dish) & for dessert a nice stack of pancakes. We wait…& wait…& wait, we ask the waitress, & she does apologize for the delay & stresses that the place is busy. I appreciated her politeness, so we wait some more, something arrived finally. It was the pancakes, we received the sweet dish before the savoury :)
What can we do? We eat it because we are hungry & borderline frustrated at this point. We wait for a further duration of 45 MINUTES till we lose it & stress on receiving our dishes, to which the waitress apologizes -again- & offers to pack our dishes as takeaway once they are ready (what kinda solution is that?!)
The dishes arrive 10 minutes after that, & if I say that they were the most underwhelming dishes I have eaten in Montreal since my arrival to it I would not be exaggerating. Lukewarm food with medium portions & missing ingredients. We complain that my partner's dish (the sujuk/sausage & eggs) is missing crucial ingredients listed in its description, her dish is taken & it gets cancelled from the check (pretty standard procedure) but she is not offered a replacement (she leaves hungry).
To add insult to injury, we pay what I think is an exaggerated value & also asked to tip!
The service & the owner were excellent, & the food was delicious. Even during a very busy brunch hour, the service was fast & well organized.
Some of the negative reviews seem to judge the restaurant solely because the owner speaks English rather than French. That has nothing to do with the quality of the food or service. Our experience was friendly, professional, & welcoming, & we would happily return.
The restaurant was full an busy & I ordered a lot of things & food & the the food came just at the right time & I was surprised that it came that fast tho it was so busy & about the food is very good I'd eat it everyday as a breakfast & I appreciate the service they are so nice & I give it 5 stars
