Overall, L'Oeufrier feels like a neighborhood staple with a warm, communal vibe, offering generous portions and a broad breakfast and brunch menu that consistently lands well on taste and value. The atmosphere is lively and welcoming, with staff who know regulars and a sense that guests belong, even when the space is busy or a bit tight. While most experiences highlight friendly service and solid dishes, a few visits note variability in speed or execution and moments of crowded noise, but the overall impression is of a dependable, personable brunch spot that remains rooted in the local community.
We visited over Easter weekend, when many places were closed, so we were happy to come across this spot.
Upon arrival, we were greeted warmly, which made for a pleasant first impression. However, the space felt quite tight, with what seemed like more tables than the layout comfortably allows. This appeared to make it challenging for servers to move between tables, particularly when clearing plates, delivering coffee, & processing payments.
We also noticed that our food arrived before the coffee we had ordered upon being seated, which somewhat diminished the value of the'bottomless' coffee offering.
In terms of the food, the waffles & sausages were very good, & the smoothie was enjoyable. The potatoes, however, could have benefited from additional seasoning.
Overall, it's a reasonable option when choices are limited, but the atmosphere wasn't particularly conducive to a relaxed breakfast experience. We likely wouldn't rush back on a future visit to Montreal.

Nous avons visité cet établissement durant le week-end de Pâques. Comme plusieurs endroits étaient fermés, nous avons été ravis de découvrir ce restaurant.
À notre arrivée, nous avons été accueillis chaleureusement, ce qui a donné une première impression agréable. Toutefois, l'espace nous a semblé assez restreint, avec un aménagement qui paraît optimiser au maximum le nombre de tables. Cela rendait les déplacements du personnel plus difficiles, notamment pour le service du café, le débarrassage des assiettes & le traitement des paiements.
Nous avons également constaté que les plats sont arrivés avant le café que nous avions commandé dès notre installation, ce qui est un peu dommage dans le contexte d'un café « à volonté ».
Côté nourriture, les gaufres & les saucisses étaient très bonnes, le smoothie était satisfaisant, mais les pommes de terre manquaient d'assaisonnement.
Dans l'ensemble, il s'agit d'une option convenable lorsque les choix sont limités, mais l'ambiance n'était pas particulièrement propice à un petit-déjeuner détendu. Nous ne prévoyons donc pas nécessairement d'y retourner lors d'un prochain séjour à Montréal.
The breakfast poutine at L'OEufrier was simply one of the best things I've eaten in my whole life. It was simply perfect. The potatoes, the eggs, the hollandaise sauce, the bacon, the sausage... Every single thing was perfectly prepared & made it an experience that I will remember forever.
Tasty food, perfect service. Their Parmesan truffle flavored potatoes are the best I've ever had. A little tip: the plates of food in photos are smaller than the ones to be served.
Wow, what a wonderful little breakfast place! We would definitely come again. We had two orders of eggs benedict - bacon, Swiss cheese & onions for me, & smoked meat for my partner. The staff was friendly, & the food was served hot & tasted delicious. The variety of fruit included was fantastic & fresh. The portions were quite large; neither of us could finish our potatoes (which were delicious)! I was mildly disappointed there were no tea latte options, but several tea options were offered, which was satisfactory. We definitely would come again to try more menu options if ever we are in the area again.
Saw this place during an evening walk while visiting the area & decided to go for breakfast the next morning. Good choice...the food is excellent. Even just a simple plate of eggs & ham was very good. The potatoes were different from most breakfast places, fresh & had an interesting seasoning, really nice. A bit pricey but worth it for the occasional treat. Would definitely go back! Uploaded the menu we were given, April 2024.
