Reviews of Les Fringales describe generous portions, fresh tasting food, and friendly, attentive service that many say makes the dining experience enjoyable, with a strong emphasis on breakfast and brunch staples like eggs Benedict, omelettes, crepes, and hearty combos, including gluten free options and good value for money. The atmosphere is often praised as calm and bright with natural light, though some note the decor is simple and could use updates to feel warmer, and a few visits mention that the room can feel a bit large or lacking personality. Service is repeatedly highlighted as quick and helpful, with staff willing to accommodate groups and special requests, and portions are described as substantial with high quality ingredients like brie in omelettes and well cooked potatoes. A minority report issues such as a spoiled tomato or inconsistent coffee, but these are not common, and many guests say they would return, citing reliable food, friendly staff, and a welcoming vibe that suits casual meals, family gatherings, and weekend brunches at Les Fringales.
The decor could use some updates, but the food & service were excellent. The staff was friendly & attentive, & everything we ordered was fresh & flavorful. I'll definitely be back - I care more about great food & service than anything else!

Unfortunately, I did not have the best experience here. The restaurant had only a few tables - maybe 10 people maximum. I was greeted by a nice man & sat at a table by the window. The host immediately told me about their coffee menu. I ended up ordering a plain black coffee with the BLT benedict. I did not receive my coffee for several minutes. It finally came, & I understand why the host was pushing the latte menu. The coffee was not great, but I had hopes for the meal. The potatoes seemed like frozen wedge potatoes. Something in my meal was very bad, spoiled. I found it was the tomato. It looked fine, but it tasted moldy & rotten. I ate the rest of the meal. There was a nice fruit salad. The fruit was fresh & presented beautifully. Delicious hollandaise. The server never came to check on me to ask if everything was OK like they normally do. Athough, he did offer more coffee near the end of the meal. When I was ready to pay, the host asked how it was. I informed him of the tomato, & he said,'We can't check every tomato.' I paid full price for the meal. I was surprised there was no discount after having been served a spoiled tomato, but I did eat most of the rest, so that's fine. The waiter did the bare minimum, but they were nice. Maybe they received a bad batch of tomatoes.
Attentive wait staff, high quality food including fresh squeezed orange juice, hot chocolate with whipped cream & sprinkles, & thick flavourful smoothies. Waiter topped up my coffee, always love that. Food was declicious, waffles, crepes, bacon & egg sandwich, fruit was fresh & full of flavour. Eggs over easy was cooked perfect.
Very friendly staff, excellent service, reasonable prices, excellent food, alots of parking, very tasty fresh fruit juices. Fast service, friendly owner. One of the best restaurants for breakfast & lunch in Chomedey.
Ordered the strawberry banana combo, no custard was in the crepe. The server wasn't attentive, didn't ask if we liked our food. I had to get another server to get our bill. I realized we arrived at 9am & it was quiet but she seemed to forget about us as the restaurant got more customers. Not worth the $ The potatoes are really tasty. Bacon is delicious. Crepe was good. Orange juice is unique & super fresh.
Wooow, eating here is like eating in haven, it's worth all the money , the quality of the food is crazy good & fresh , not oily like other " breakfast & diners " restaurants. Best place in all Laval .....Hint: I try it all. Coming back for sure. If you like smoothie natural is the place.

Typical breakfast place, about the same as Chez Cora or other breakfast chains. Nothing really stands out except for their potatoes..? It was some crispy potato with spices similar to those frozen ones you get from the supermarket.
$6 for an orange juice was a shocker & 1/4 of it was foam... didn't really taste like "fresh orange juice", actually tasted a bit weird..? (Petinos charges $4.95 & wasn't foamy)
For the same/similar price, Petinos is a bit better & the food tastes better too. For best value, if you don't mind the presentation, a local joint Chez Nicola's is still the better bang for your bucks.
Top of the class. Food was excellent! Rating 4/5 on service because we were not offered water, which should've been a must. The waitress did offer their freshly pressed orange juice (which was also excellent).
