Review Summary

Luncheonette is a popular, cozy diner in Montreal known for its classic atmosphere, vintage charm, and delicious, reasonably priced breakfast and lunch staples like burgers, sandwiches, and eggs. Many patrons praise the friendly, attentive staff and the high quality of the food, often highlighting the authentic, home-cooked feel of the dishes. While the overall experience is highly regarded by many regulars and visitors alike, there are occasional reports of inconsistent service, long wait times, and frustrations regarding the cash-only payment policy or limited communication about menu details. Despite some mixed feedback concerning operational pacing and table management, the restaurant remains a beloved local gem for those seeking a welcoming, unpretentious spot for a casual meal.

I felt something in my mouth so i spitted & checked. It was sharp plastic hard vinyl pieces. So i talked to waitress & she said she will let kitchen know. & i didn't hear anything after that… Usually we can hear at least'sorry' or ask if customer wants new one or refund or explain what it was from kitchen. They didn't do any of them.

We enjoyed vibe here, open kitchen looked clean when we enter, food was good, & waitress was very kind. But we are not gonna go again after we saw how they handle the food safety issue.

It was worth trying new place! Hope they handle these situations better next time to other customers. I can see some similar reviews.

I had a burger & coleslaw & both were 10 on 10. The coffee was just ok but the place is a traditional dinner & that's the type of coffee that is served in dinners. The wait staff told us before we ordered that it is a cash only place. Even though I knew that already, I think that it is a smart move to let the customers know up front & not be surprised when the bill comes. Also it was reasonably priced for our day & age which adds to its authenticity in my opinion.

No interact, cash only. But that's better for the community economy anyway.

Vraiment satisfaite de ma visite. Le bagel au saumon fumé est délicieux. L'ambiance est animée avec de la bonne musique & un décor charmant. Les serveurs avisent du paiement par argent comptant avant la commande, ce qui est apprécié. Je reviendrai pour tester les pancakes !

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.
