Luncheonette

The food is good, but it's expensive for what you get. The service is just okay & not particularly welcoming. Before you even order, they make a point of telling you that it's cash only, which immediately gives the place a sketchy feel.
The menu states that taxes are included in the prices. What concerns me even more is that the receipt is not an official government compliant receipt with the required barcode & QR code. Instead, I received only a handwritten receipt. That makes me question whether the taxes being collected are actually being remitted, since there is no official proof of the transaction.
If a business is going to collect taxes, it should also provide proper legal receipts. Without that transparency, it raises serious concerns & undermines my trust. I won't return here for the reason of the lack of integrity & honesty.

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.

Awesome atmosphere, servers are super nice. The menu is right to the point, but you can't go wrong with anything. Freshly squeezed orange juice & fair prices. Make sure to bring cash!

NDG Luncheonette is a small diner-style restaurant with a good selection of breakfast & lunch options. Service was attentive & friendly. We did not have to wait to long for a table. We had tuna fish & BLT sandwich (or sandy) & both very good. Recommended if you are in the neighborhood! Note: Restaurant is cash only.

Went here with our baby & the food was actually good but the experience was pretty frustrating overall so just a heads up for others.

We didn't realize it was cash only until we were already there we only found out because we overheard the server telling another table after we had already eaten. Would've been really helpful to know that upfront since we had to go use the ATM.

Service was also quite slow. We asked for the baby's food to come first, which they did, but after that things slowed down a lot & we noticed other tables getting served before us.

By the time our baby was done eating & starting to get fussy we just asked for the bill so we could leave. The server said no problem but then came back saying our food was actually coming out. It honestly felt like our order had been forgotten or delayed & at that point we were just trying to manage a tired, unhappy baby & would've preferred to just leave.

Food was good but a bit overpriced. Main downside for us was really the lack of communication (especially about cash only) & the slow service.

Probably fine if you're not in a rush but not great with a baby or if you're on a schedule.
