There is nothing like Cosmos anywhere else in Montreal. It's stuck in time in the best way. Put your phone away & chat with everyone at the counter.

Tony & Elmy are so wonderful & they give the place such a warm feeling. Also, Tony is a fantastic chef. 12/10 am definitely coming back

Arrived here & had to wait 20 minutes for a stool to open up, finally when a seat became available. This older woman came in & said that her & her husband were waiting before me.
She was outside smoking & kept coming in & out of the place, I didn't see her husband anywhere, but nonetheless, I got out out of the way & let her sit
Waited another 15 minutes for a seat & then finally became available, after sitting down for another 20 minutes I was finally asked if I had been served yet. I told them no, & the man was very apologetic noticing I had been waiting a long time to order & sitting patiently.
I was quickly offered coffee & the gentleman took my order right away, the food was made hot & ready within minutes & was very flavourful & tasted amazing again the coffee was top shelf & tasted really good.
I ordered a BLT with a side of hash browns (mashed spuds with onions fried on a flat grill)
This place has to be the best bang for your buck in the city.
The atmosphere is very jovial, the food is really good. The price again is fantastic & once more, I really enjoyed the coffee.
If there was anything to complain about it was the stools or a little hard to sit on, but because the food tastes so good & you eat so fast you're out of there so quickly you don't even notice.
I'll definitely recommend my friends & family to come here again.

Parfait pour notre 1er petit déjeuner au Québec from France

The'creation sandwich' was delicious, & the potatoes were equally tasty. The staff was very kind, & I spent about two hours there. It felt very homey. I would definitely go back for the food!
It's a small venue, so you need to order inside. There's no table service. In a sense, it felt very Japanese because there were very limited seating options. Outdoor seating was right beside trash, which wasn't very pleasant.

Thanks to travel vlogs on YouTube we found this place. Went a year ago when visiting & it was the best breakfast we had that trip & the second visit a year later did not disappoint.
Had to wait about 10 - 15 minutes for a seat at the small counter, but once seated the food came quickly.
Well prepared & old school cool.

I came here when I was in university.
Back then it was $10 for the Mish Mash, with the'Man of Grease' at the helm.
Today, the restaurant looks the same but the owner is different.
The food is still excellent (even though the Mist Mash is separated into its component omelette & potatoes. With some fork work, it can be mixed back into essentially the old Mist Mash form.)
Cosmos is a staple of NDG & the food is excellent. We'll always go back.

Best breakfast in town ! I never left a google review in my life but this one was worth it. Best people !
Brody
Amazing breakfast!! My omelette was amazing, as well as the toast & home fries. Just full of flavour. Will go again when I'm back in Montreal 100%
Dany

Heard about this local institution & had to give it a try, & glad I did! The "Creation" sandwich was so good, I had to have seconds!

Went there this morning on a whim, but truthfully I've been going to Cosmo's for years. 15 years ago, after exams at school nearby this was a spot where I would go for some comfort food. The food today is as great as ever! The classic dishes are the Creation & the Mish Mash (pic related) & those are what I would recommend for first-timers. The place has also undergone a bit of an overhaul. They now accept card, not just cash, & are available on Uber Eats. They also have merch for sale in-store! The vibe is always on point. Everyone there is very friendly & that naturally generates conversation. Overall if you make the pilgrimage to this NDG institution, you'll never be disappointed.
