Le Vieux St-Laurent draws praise for big portions, solid value, and a diverse brunch menu that covers classics like eggs Benedict, crepes, pancakes, waffles, and hearty breakfast combos. The local feel and welcoming staff contribute to a warm atmosphere, with quick service even when busy and coffee refills that are appreciated. Many diners highlight generous portions and affordable prices, with standout items such as chocolate banana crepes and well prepared potatoes. Breakfasts and brunches are described as satisfying for big eaters, often leaving diners full and happy. The vibe is cozy and old-school, busy yet worth the trip, reflecting a traditional brunch spot. A few critiques mention a poutine that is heavy on sauce with little meat and concerns about cleanliness, particularly with glassware, when crowds are large. Overall, Le Vieux St-Laurent appears to deliver a hearty, affordable brunch experience with friendly service and substantial portions, while guests note that cleanliness and peak-hour pace can be a challenge.

I've been going to that spot forever, i know it might have change ownership but the secret of crispy bacon has been passed along. This is a great spot for early cheap breakfast, nothing too fancy, just classics
