Le Toasteur Villeray is a breakfast and brunch restaurant in the heart of Villeray.
While the Toasteur concept has existed for several generations and has had several locations, it is in the Villeray district that it found its second wind.
At the end of 2020, we chose to flip the table, literally and figuratively! From reorganizing the space to redesigning the menu, we decided to renew ourselves. This was possible thanks to a passionate team and especially thanks to the neighborhood clientele who have been showing us their love of brunch for over 10 years.
Le Toasteur Villeray stands out as a cozy neighborhood brunch spot in Villeray with a rotating seasonal menu every couple of months that keeps things fresh, offering flavorful, creative dishes with generous portions, including vegan and gluten-free options, along with excellent coffee and a warm, intimate atmosphere; the staff are commonly praised for friendliness and helpfulness, and the space on two levels, including a second floor coworking area, adds to the appeal, but several reviews note slower service and longer waits on busy weekend mornings and some speak to pacing or tone issues with a server; overall it is described as a reliable, welcoming spot that many return to for good value, quality and a true Montreal brunch experience.
Very good place to have breakfast. The food is very fresh & tasty, a many options in menu. In the morning quite busy, I think that's why it took 45 minutes to wait for the food,but it worth it. Coffee latte is huge size . I had great croissant sandwich.
They have great food with huge portions & the service is always great. They rotate the menu every couple months & they always have great specialty beverages, too We come here often & are never disappointed :)
C'était ma première visite. Endroit charmant & lumineux. Personnel accueillant, chaleureux & souriant. Je ne mange jamais de poutine, mais là, j'ai cédé à la description, & pris l'option tofu & asperges. Plat copieux & délicieux. Ma fille a pris les crêpes au thé matcha, qu'elle a adorées ! Nous y retournerons très certainement pour essayer d'autres plats !
A remarkable & welcoming spot offering breakfast & brunch options! Mouth-watering & beautifully presented, their dishes will leave you full & satisfied. The service is also wonderful, making you want to go back every day! It's even more tempting when they have seasonal menus with creative options!

Mon resto brunch préféré du quartier, tout est excellent, particulièrement les oeufs bénédictines. Service toujours sympathique. C'est juste un peu trop petit pour la popularité !
I will guess that my review will not meet with the opinions of others. Sounded like a cool place & it is. Small eclectic & located in a tucked away part of Villeray that I frequented in a past life looking for things other than breakfast on Sunday.
As I guessed arriving there before 10:30 would assure us a table without a long wait & no sooner did we arrive that we had a "premium" spot by the window. Premium means we could actually get to our seats without having to climb over other diners..but not to worry.
Miniscule place with a miniscule kitchen so service was slower than like but we were well advised of the delay which I find most professional.
Food wise the menu is limited with crepes, eggs & healthier fare which for some reason I felt I needed after an evening of non indulgence.
Poached egg, some yogourt & muselix with 1 slice of toast & some fruit. Pretty healthy right .
I preceded this with a small glass of grapefruit juice which was actually quite good.
Overall the egg was poached very well indeed but the rest did not call for much of a cooking technique.
My guest had a crepe with cheddar, ham & asparagus. Crepe 100% cheese good but a little light, asparagus heavily grilled on one side only but my guest thought it was 100%, ham well too salty too abundant & actually too chewy. same fruits etc.
Coffee acceptable but milk in small individual containers is a nono for a "cool" place.
So not bad right but the kicker is it cost over $40 so I think there are quite a few other choices available & an extra slice of toast at a place called toasteur is not a bad idea
Une bien belle découverte que ce petit (tout petit) resto brunch-dîner du quartier de Villeray. Pas de réservation, donc prévoyez une attente si vous y aller aux heures les plus achalandées la fin de semaine. Les prix sont tout à fait corrects, & la nourriture est vraiment bonne, les assiettes copieuses comme il faut. C'est peut-être bruyant quand le resto est plein, mais ça vaut le coup. La sauce hollandaise est remarquable, & les crêpes (pancakes) savoureuses. J'y retournerai à coup sûr.
