4 stars that should be a 3.5
Place is hella cute, quaint & completely unexpected for that part of NDG. Simple menu, but certainly a propos of the small restaurant. Initially service was good, but after food was delivered it was a bit spotty. Asked for some mayo, & waited so long for it that most of what I wanted it on was eaten due to hunger. Wife had the pancakes, which were nice & fluffy but the cold toppings made it just a lukewarm meal. I had the JJ's breakfast, which was nice. Bacon was a bit burnt, but it was simple. Rye toast was a nice touch & the eggs were well made. Certainly a home breakfast, just made by someone else. Tax & tip, including 2 coffees (which don't appear to be mentioned as extra, unless I completely missed it) was $45.
I would certainly not recommend going again, nor would I make it part of my rotation, as much as I love non-chain places, but I would not refuse to go.
Reasonable prices, delicious food, & excellent coffee served at the right temperature. We ordered a burger & two JJ breakfasts - the potatoes were nicely crisped, the bacon was crunchy & melted in the mouth, & the eggs were not overcooked. The place is small & cozy; if the tables are full, there are seats at the counter, which are perfectly comfortable. The waitresses are pleasant, & it's a real pleasure to watch the cooks at work. The chips served with the burger are baked (no oil). Unfortunately, this isn't mentioned anywhere, so keep in mind that the café accepts cash only - though there is an ATM inside, so it's not really a problem.
We absolutely love this place! The food is always amazing-perfect eggs every single time. The staff are super friendly, helpful, & unbelievably patient with our little chaos-makers 😅
Huge shoutout to Cam, who is an incredible server, & to the whole grill team for consistently nailing the breakfast classics.
Recommend x a million! 🥚✨
If you come here know that the food comes around an hour after you order. Nobody came to give us a heads up of the time. I had to ask during that hour for a coffee refill & water after around 35 minutes so at least we had to drink. Orange juice & coffee were good. The customer service was good after I asked for drinks.
The crepes were real good. They lacked maple syrup so we just asked for some more.
I ordered the JJ & it was flavoursome, the potatoes were nice. The only thing are the eggs were way too salty. A mouthful full of salt. Literally. I just asked for other ones & the service was fast.
I will return & update but don't go there if you're on a tight schedule we were at the restaurant for 1h45 to 2 hours. Price were very reasonable.
This was Our first experience with food from montreal & it didn't disappoint. The coffee tasted fresh even though we came in the afternoon. The jjs breakfast & everything was seasoned just right with light fluffy eggs & crispy bacon & a bite from the sausage. The pancake came with apple compote & goat cheese & was phenominal. The sweetness of the apple complimented the goat cheese on top of a slightly firm but very fluffy pancake. The fried chicken sandwich was honestly the best one I've ever had. The atmosphere here felt so welcoming & homly. This place is definitely some where you have to come when visiting Montréal.
Had the JJ's breakfast & it was phenomenal. Soft scramble eggs are definitely the way to go, really enjoyed my brunch & the service was fantastic from everyone. Highly recommend getting a pancake on the side! Will be back for sure
The food was revolting. I had to give my eggs away or I was going to throw up. Butter was tangy. Was told only rye came with my meal then the table beside was offered 3+ options for the exact same meal. It's on a dingy street. I was sick the rest of the day & my stomach is generally made of iron. We don't ever need to go back.
Filter coffee was good, but not included. I had the full breakfast. Scrambled eggs were nice & fluffy. For the price I was expecting a notch above the competition, but it was just average. Cash only.
What else would we do on a Sunday than go have brunch?
For a simple, straight-forward, diner-style &, most importantantly, delightfully satisfying meal we found NGD Luncheonette a perfect fit.
Whether you have a juicy, greasy burger or a delectable breakfast sandwich including a fried egg with your bottomless coffee we're sure you'll love it as much as we did.
We also loved the vintage diner decor & the old fridge, radio & the cutest salt & pepper shakers
