Luncheonette comes across as a small, charming diner with a retro vibe and a menu that shines on burgers, breakfast plates and classic sandwiches; reviewers praise the high quality and flavor, the friendly staff and the cozy atmosphere, while noting occasional long waits, small portions for very hungry guests, and practical details like a cash-only policy (ATM on site) and menu substitutions that can incur extra charges. A few reviews mention a rare food-safety moment and some communication hiccups, but the place remains a popular neighborhood staple that people plan to return to for brunch, breakfast and comforting diner fare.
On a eu un délicieux burgers & smoked meat exactement en portions correcte pour ce qu' on s'attendait pour le prix. On a adoré le décor vieillot sans prétention, le service, la vue. A s'arrêter pour un petit encas durant une promenade.
Great meals! We loved the Tuna sandwich & French Toast! Good sized portions & very tasty 😋 Also very reasonably priced! A little gem close to home!! Unpretentious little diner 🤩
We will DEFINITELY be back!😃
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.
