Luncheonette est présenté comme un petit bistrot charmant avec une ambiance rétro où burgers, petit-déjeuner et sandwiches trouvent leur place; la nourriture est souvent décrite comme délicieuse et bien préparée, l'atmosphère est chaleureuse et le personnel accueillant, toutefois certains soulignent des portions parfois modestes, des temps d'attente longs et des détails pratiques comme le paiement en espèces uniquement et la présence d'un guichet ATM sur place, ainsi que quelques remarques sur la communication et la sécurité alimentaire. Dans l'ensemble, l'endroit est perçu comme une adresse locale appréciée, idéale pour un brunch ou un petit-déjeuner et à tester à nouveau.
I find myself at NDG luncheonette every Monday for the last several weeks. It brings nothing but the best service, cheapest bottomless coffee & simply the most fresh ingredients on every dish, from the best beans in MTL to the amazing French toast served with the chefs choice of ingredients that month(a must try for any new client) Thanks for always serving it right & keeping it real!
Cute little spot with a nice vibe. The burger was really good (though a bit on the small side if you're very hungry), & the hot dog was okay.
Service-wise, I had to take off a point due to lack of clear communication. There's no indication anywhere that the place is cash-only, which is important to know in advance (there is an ATM on site, but still). Also, the menu suggests you can swap the chips for coleslaw/beans/potatoes, but only when we got the bill did we realize it comes with an extra $2 charge.
Overall, a pleasant place with good food, but clearer information for customers would really improve the experience.
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.
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 !
Loved it. Simple food but very well made! From a cook's perspective, their work space is very clean & organized. Respect!
Thank you very much for a lovely morning

Quaint diner, brings me back to the good old days. Simple menu (cash only, taxes included in the price) & the food was delicious. Our server was so sweet & pleasant, made me feel welcome. Strongly recommend!!!
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.
