Que ce soit pour commencer la journée de façon savoureuse, pour déjeuner en famille, entre amis ou gens d'affaires, ou encore pour bruncher durant le week-end, l'Oeufrier saura vous enchanter.
Dans l'ensemble, L'Oeufrier ressemble à une référence de quartier avec une ambiance chaleureuse et conviviale, des portions généreuses et un vaste menu petit déjeuner/brunch qui demeure globalement satisfaisant. L'atmosphère est animée et accueillante, et le personnel connaît les habitués, ce qui donne un sentiment d'appartenance, même lorsque le restaurant est plein ou serré. Si les avis sont majoritairement positifs sur le service et les plats, quelques visites signalent une certaine variabilité dans la rapidité ou l'exécution et des espaces parfois bruyants et bondés; malgré cela, l'impression générale reste celle d'un endroit sympathique et fiable pour bruncher ou déjeuner, ancré dans la communauté locale.
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.
A rare example of a franchise that still feels like a neighbourhood staple…consistent, welcoming, & rooted in community.
What I liked:
I'll start by saying this, I'm a bit of a breakfast connoisseur. I've been at this for decades.
My wife & I first discovered L'OEufrier about five years ago when we moved to Montreal, at their Plateau Mont-Royal location. It was one of the first Quebec-based franchises I really got to know (St-Hubert being the obvious first introduction for most of us).
I'll be honest… the loud, colourful, family-style vibe isn't typically my thing. But there was something different here.
Yes, the food & coffee were consistently good, with generous portions & a menu that doesn't hold back. But what stood out more was something you don't often find in franchised restaurants, a genuine sense of community.
Staff were friendly, engaged, & clearly knew their regulars. Before long, they knew us too. Being new to the city at the time, that mattered. It made a difference.
Despite being predominantly francophone, I've always felt welcomed. They've met me where I'm at with my (very much still improving) French, though I'll say, I've mastered ordering my usual. Slowly but surely.
The Village location:
After moving from the Plateau to the Village, we naturally found our way to this location.
It's smaller, a bit tighter, but somehow even more connected.
Being in the heart of the Village, there's an added layer of inclusivity & openness. That sense of community is amplified here. It's not just staff, it's the guests too.
This morning, a table of guys started to chat with us, joking, laughing, completely natural. That's not unusual here. It happens often.
Atmosphere & vibe:
Tables are close together, & during peak hours you might wait, but that proximity is part of what makes it work.
If anything, spreading people out would take away from the experience.
It's lively, a bit chaotic at times, but in a way that feels human, not transactional.
Food & menu:
The menu is extensive, bordering on excessive, in a good way.
Some of the breakfast poutines look like they could feed a small country. Milkshakes are everywhere. Mimosas kicking off people's Sundays. . It's indulgent without pretending to be anything else.
My wife & I both had'Le Simplest'…. my go-to. I'm a simple guy :)
& that's part of the appeal, whether you want something over-the-top or just a solid, classic breakfast, it delivers consistently.
Who this is good for:
People looking for:
• consistent, reliable meals
• generous portions at fair prices
• a place that feels lived-in & welcoming
& maybe most importantly:
• a sense of belonging, even if you're new
Closing:
At the end of the day, L'OEufrier is a large Quebec chain, but it doesn't feel like one.
There's something honest here. Something that feels distinctly Quebec, where a place can grow, expand, & still hold onto the community it was built on.
That's not easy to maintain.
They've managed to do it.

Service was absolutely terrible. 7 people, took 25 mins before anybody even talked to us (after asking another server). We ordered, took over 20 minutes to receive coffees, 2 of which were forgotten. Food came shortly after, with my eggs not as requested. Service was very poor & unapologetic. Food was somewhat bland.
The quality of the food here was straight up bad. The ingredients honestly tasted like dépanneur quality. The potato fries were stale & not even hot, the honeydew was soft, & the watermelon was grainy. It really feels like they cheap out on ingredients. The omelette was not flavourful whatsoever. The iced coffee was fine, but nothing special, & definitely not worth the $7 price tag. We like the eggs benny but I think it needs better presentation. The only saving grace was the ambiance & atmosphere, which are actually quite nice. Unfortunately, that doesn't make up for the disappointing food.
Super pleasant service. Wonderful early bird special. I ordered the bacon cheese omelette, it was a huge portion & was super delicious. It came with nice bread & hot coffee as well. Highly recommended spot!

Great way to start your morning, a welcoming local breakfast spot with friendly service & great food. Spent a great Monday morning trying a couple different poutines, having hot coffee, & ended with an oreo milkshake with waffle on top.
My husband & I were (pleasantly) overwhelmed with the extensive menu. We decided on a couple varieties of poutine. I ordered a Le Joe Cool smoothie & he a regular coffee. Our server gladly switched to English for us as my French still isn't up to par. The (Atateken) location is very small. It was hard to have a conversation so close to the next table. The food was pretty good but a little on the pricey side for the quality. We would visit again for another dish!
