I tried the CHAMPI… 🍄🥪, & it was delicious! 😋 The mushrooms 🍄, toast 🍞, & sauce 🥣 were amazing 😍. I'm not usually a fan of the eggs 🥚, but I tried them & they tasted good 👍.
The mashed potatoes 🥔 were good, but they would've been perfect 😋 with a bit of butter 🧈, pepper 🌶?, & a little more milk 🥛. They were a bit dry 😅-would be so much tastier!
The cappuccino ☕ was okay, the grapefruit juice 🍊 was fine, but the service 👩?🍳 & the ambiance 🎶 were really great.
Overall, 10/10 💯, definitely worth five stars ⭐?⭐?⭐?⭐?⭐?!
Had Champi, eggs, mushrooms on a bread with cheese, mashed potatoes, yummy, with pear blueberry mimosa 😋🤠 great service, liked the decor🤩
Another great brunch, avocado toast & salmon, delicious 😋
Tried the fried chicken with hot mayo sauce, it's delicious 😋

Welcome drink
Since the dining area is small so there must be a queue outside but it is worth. Beautiful decoration excellent service. They come with a welcome drink, lovely! 👍
🔹Le petit plateau ~ love their sauce but the scone is a bit hard
🔹Vanilla hot white chocolate ~ a bit too sweet
🔹Banana french toast ~ dish decorate is great
🔹Today Special goose ~ just so so
🔹Fried chicken sandwich ~ Taste good but not the outlook
🔹Mushroom toast with a scotch egg ~ the toast is too hard, mushroom taste great. Scotch egg is an art.
The'latkes' were excellent - perfectly crispy on the outside, & as you keep eating, the subtle sweetness of the yellow beets comes through beautifully with the potatoes. The toppings were very well balanced: crunchy pickled onions, a softly cooked egg, & a small slice of tender smoked salmon. Great texture, lots of layers, & very satisfying without feeling heavy.
L'Oeuf Écossais was beautifully done. The soft-boiled egg was cooked perfectly, with a rich, creamy yolk. The outer layer was crispy but not greasy, with a very satisfying, substantial bite. Great contrast of textures & a simple dish executed really well.
We went for brunch with friends since my partner found out that Janine & Régine have the same menu.
The food quality is consistent between the 2 places, & we were all happy with what we ordered. The was a bit of a wait, but as crazy as Régine Café on Beaubien. We did not have to line up since our friends got there before us & they got a table.
The service is excellent even though the restaurant was full. The food tasted great with an on point temperature. I totally enjoyed my grilled cheese with the scotch egg - a must try house specialty!
We will definitely go back as there are many items we would like to try.
Fantastic breakfast/brunch spot. The avocado toast with an egg was fantastic & the cinnamon roll with chocolate sauce was divine. We had excellent service & we were glad to be able to relax & chat for a calm morning in Montreal.
Definitely the most delicious brunch I had ever ate!
I tried CHAMPI, the pair of bread & mushroom is amazing( switch the egg to scotch egg is highly recommend, it will bring out more flavor with the combination)
We were greeted with a complimentary juice as soon as we sat down - a thoughtful touch. Service was excellent throughout, & the brunch selections were fantastic. The banana French toast was perfectly cooked & not overly sweet. The scotch egg was made with chorizo & goes perfect with any savory dish. Bonus points for the wide range of vegetarian options.
Review edited: We were visiting from Toronto & our friend brought us to try Janine for brunch on a Sunday. They do not offer reservations for weekends. My friend made a reservation but it turns out it was for a different date from the date she took us to the restaurant (hence the edited review). The place however does get very crowded as it is a popular spot, so there is quite a bit of wait time.
Once we were seated, the food, drinks & service were really good. We got a matcha latte & a Baileys coffee. I asked for no whipping cream so they topped it with a marshmallow. It was really good! Our server was very informative & we chose the special of the day based on his recommendation which was duck meat with poached eggs. It was delicious & we enjoyed it!
Our drinks & food came out in a timely manner. Their washrooms were also clean. The overall noise level was a bit loud so it made holding conversations a little challenging.

I had mushroom toast dish with scutch egg which was not valued 32 CaD at all! I did not like the taste of potato & mushrooms.
I had a carrot cake which was great!
I'd never heard of Café Janine before but I could see myself becoming a regular. The food was outstanding, the service is impeccable & the ambience was a pleasant kind of elevated conviviality; a relaxed refinement that tied everything together.
The lineup is no joke for a weekend brunch, so come prepared to wait outside for 30 minutes or more. Out party really appreciated the complementary servings of tea & small nibbles served by staff along the wait line. It's a small, classy bit of gratitude that made the wait much more tolerable.
Once we were inside, we immediately relaxed & were treated very well by the friendly, professional staff. Service was quick & helpful, with good suggestions when we requested tnem.
Every morsel was delicious, & we especially liked the juice tastings: fresh & delicious samples of various juices arranged in a way that makes it easy to share. The chicken sandwich was excellent with a generous serving & good seasonings. The Scotch eggs were perfect, with a great balance of flavours & textures. We tried the carrot cake as a treat, & it was wonderfully moist & light, with great bounce.
I expected a higher bill at the end, & I was pleasantly surprised. Overall, it's good value for an excellent dining experience. A must-try!

Cute place, high hopes when I walked in.
I tried the latkes, oeuf & boeuf, scotch egg & grilled cheese. Latkes were decent, light & tasty. Scotch egg was decent too, egg center perfect. But the oeuf & boeuf was heavy, lots of bread & not too much flavor. The grilled cheese was a heavy soupy mess. Just a huge portion of unappealing food. Coffee wasn't great either, but it smelled great. Just disappointed & now my stomach hurts honestly.
A friend & I hadn't seen each other for a few years & we met at this restaurant for brunch. The waitress was very enthusiastic. Although we didn't want to be disturbed from time to time, we still responded to her every time. We stayed in there for four hours, & we kept ordering food & drinks. The restaurant was not full, & there were still empty seats on a Wednesday morning. It seemed that they thought we were sitting too long & often asked if Liao needed anything. The last breakfast cost more than $50, which seemed a bit too much. As for the dishes, it was not as delicious as expected. The main course included fried eggs. If it was changed to Irish eggs, it would cost eight dollars. It felt like I saved a dollar, but after careful consideration, the boss saved two eggs.
Very good place for brunch. Many pretty & tasty options. I've tried many, many brunch places in MTL &, from my knowledge, this is the first that does this scotch egg they do. It was delicious & very cool looking. Everything seems great on their menu & it all seems fresh & varied for everyone's tastes. Atmosphere is really nice in the place & service was good but a tad bit slow.
Well worth the wait! Wow very fun breakfast menu options. Perfectly cooked eggs & something for everyone. You get so much in your plate. I want to go back & try everything!! **Definitely go during the week day to skip the line that wraps around the front door.
