I didn't realize someone could mess up pancakes. The pancakes definitely didn't have enough butter & eggs. The mascarpone on the pancakes is the worst mascarpone I've ever had. Somehow it was like sand. I personally, don't want my pancakes already swimming in syrup before you give it to me. For how much these pancakes cost I would have liked at least a little bit of fresh fruit. I got the smash burger with the breakfast potatoes. The breakfast potatoes were incredibly bland & under seasoned, whereas the smash burger was small but incredibly salty. If they added less salt to the burger, It would've been a pretty solid smash burger. Considering the breakfast potatoes are an extra three dollar charge, they were horrible. Overall the diner is not worth your time or money.
Very cute trendy vibe diner. The food was basic, regular brunch food, eggs, potato, bacon ect.. No gluten free bread. I'm not crazy about the cash only policy.
The service was also basic, it was not busy, & I feel we always had to flag someone to help us.
Also their phone doesn't work, so don't try & call them.
This is the kind of diner Guy Fieri would pull up to in the Camaro. NDG Luncheonette on Fielding Avenue is a 24-seat love letter to the American breakfast, tucked inside a neighbourhood that didn't know it needed one until they started flipping pancakes thicker than a Stephen King novel. The red booths, the boxing memorabilia on the walls, the menu where every dish is named after a family member - this is the diner your favourite movie montage was filmed in, except the food is real & it's better than anything Hollywood's prop department could fake.
The American breakfast would make a bald eagle shed a tear of patriotic pride - eggs done exactly how you want them, bacon with structural integrity, & a portion size that reminds you what generosity looked like before restaurants started putting three items on a plate & calling it'curated.' & those pancakes - stacked, fluffy, seasonally topped, & so thick you could use them as a doorstop if you didn't respect yourself enough to eat them first. Come hungry. Leave satisfied!
First time here & it was awesome !!! delicious food great + service. I brought cash :-) I came for lunch had the burger with an egg & potatoes. just right !!! I will be back again as it really hit the spot.
I've been to NDG Lunchette twice now, & it's quickly become one of my favorite breakfast spots in Montreal.
The restaurant has a cozy, classic diner feel with only a few booths, which I actually love. They try to keep the larger booths available for families when it's busy, which is understandable given the limited space.
Everything I've tried has been great. The eggs are incredibly fluffy & creamy, the bacon & sausage are cooked perfectly, & the portions are generous without being over the top. One of my absolute favorites is their breakfast sandwich with bologna-simple, comforting, & surprisingly delicious. Their lunch burger is also worth trying.
I'm actually writing this review after seeing how much attention one of my food photos from here received. The sandwich photo alone got over 10,000 views, which says a lot about how good it looked-& tasted.
The staff have always been friendly, the atmosphere is welcoming, & it's the kind of place that makes you want to come back & try more of the menu. Next on my list are the pancakes, which look absolutely incredible every time I see them come out of the kitchen.
If you're in NDG & looking for a great breakfast or brunch spot, this place is definitely worth checking out.
we waited an hour for our table which isn't the problem but once we finally sat down the waiter spoke to us once without any regard. When we ordered the food they got my order wrong & all I asked for was one sunny side egg & toast instead I got scrambled eggs with 2 egg shells in them, I would give them grace if it actually tasted good, It looked visually appealing but it was the most bland eggs ever. My friend got a bagel, it was edible that's for sure... but nothing else. When we finished the food we sat for another 20 minutes waiting for the check. The other waiter was nice & decided to check on us. guess we got unlucky. Also make sure to wear your non slip shoes because these floors seem like the back kitchen was the whole restaurant.
