Millmans is described as a cozy, welcoming brunch spot with friendly staff and an atmosphere that feels both classic and unpretentious. The pancakes and bacon are frequently praised for their thickness and flavor, and other highlights include the grilled cheese, chicken sandwich, and locally baked bread, while coffee and some dishes receive more mixed reviews; some guests find portions small and prices high for basic fare, and a few reports mention bland or underseasoned dishes and occasional rushed service, but the overall mood leans toward charm, good vibes, and dependable service when the kitchen is on form.
Honestly disappointing.
They don't have a menu it's actually all written on the wall or'you can see pictures of some plates on our instagram page', that's fine but if your prices are aligned with other brunch places & you expect a tip for the service, then as a customer I expect to have a physical menu or at least a QR code that I can quickly scan.
Food is honestly meh, we got a tuna melt & a fried chicken sandwich as well as potatos on the side, the tuna melt was actually cold chunks of tuna mixed with some onions & some dill, it was like eating fresh out of a tuna can but on sourdough bread & the chicken was more batter than chicken & pretty dry overall, portions are generous but that's about it.
Hot chocolate was watery, the kind you get at a coffee machine except this one was 5$ & decorated with two marshmallows.
I'm trying to be optimistic & see what the whole online hype is about but I just can't.
This is the type of place you go to when you're hungry & nowhere else is open or you just happen to be nearby, but if you planned a weekend brunch then get ready to be disappointed!
Everything about Millmans for brunch is perfect. A simple set of offerings. Scrumptious food. Great, fast service. Cozy surroundings. Getting there earlier is better: there is a reason for the lineups! You're in & out in about an hour. We'll be back.
Millmans sur Wellington est un incontournable du brunch à Montréal. Le sandwich au poulet frit est une vraie réussite : croustillant, juteux & parfaitement assaisonné. Le pain, provenant d'une boulangerie locale, est moelleux & savoureux, un vrai plus. Le café est excellent, torréfié avec soin & servi bien chaud. L'ambiance est accueillante, avec une déco charmante & une énergie chaleureuse. Mention spéciale à notre serveuse, d'une gentillesse & d'une attention exceptionnelles, qui a rendu l'expérience encore plus agréable. Une adresse à ne pas manquer !
Good brunch place, classic bacon & eggs breakfast you can find everywhere else. My only beef & the reason for 3 stars is that 23$ for a couple eggs & two slices of bacon is just too much.
This little brunch gem is small & quaint, but big on charm. From the moment we walked in, the service was impeccable. I had a lovely chat with the owner-super friendly & welcoming-& the rest of the staff were just as great.
As for the food: the pancakes are a must. They were thick & fluffy, served Quebec maple syrup. We also tried Le Millman, & it did not disappoint. The potatoes, seasoned with everything but the bagel spice, were a standout, & the bread was incredibly fresh. Scrambled eggs to perfection. One tip: if you're getting the bacon (which you should), ask for it extra crispy since it's quite thick.
All in all, a fantastic experience. I'll definitely be coming back!

Very cute place to brunch. I was bit disappointed about the fried chicken… The fried chicken didn't have much flavor. Overall the portion are good & the price too.
Amazing brunch spot. I came solo & was able to slip into the bar stools without much of a wait to my fortune. The host was such a gem - very friendly guy with great energy who seemed to genuinely care about my experience there. I wish I could recall his name (I want to say Nick). I went for the pancakes which are made in the Japanese fashion with their compact size & super-thick form. Perfectly made, the girl crafting them was so skilled. I was so happy to try this place & left with an even bigger smile than I had coming in.

Petit resto sympathique. Le service & très amical (vibe commerce de quartier qui connaît tout le monde). C'était sur ma liste d'endroits à visiter pour leur brunch, j'ai pris le brunch Millmans (si ça porte leur nom, ça doit être représentatif de leur cuisine). C'est assez moyen. Les carrés de patates pas très bons, mais le bacon oui (pas croustillant mais bon wind meme). Le jus frais à 6$, un peu petit pour le prix.
We decided to have brunch here & were sat in their bar stools section. We got the le millmans & pancakes along with hot chocolate. I respectfully asked if we could shift to a better seat after someone left, but since there were already available tables, they didn't even ask if we wanted to transfer it feels us not priority. Their food is overrated, & I'm not sure why people rave about it when you can do it at home or attempt to go somewhere more worthwhile. They also lack hygiene. I observed them making hot chocolate in front of me, & the girl simply took the marshmallow with her bare hands & placed it in the hot chocolate without using basic sanitation. Don't hate me, I'm just giving my honest opinion; if I could give it a zero, I would. I will never eat here again & would not suggest it.
Placé dans une très belle rue à l'ambiance conviviale, vous profiterez d'un bon brunch en terrasse. Le prix est assez élevé mais les plats sont bons. Je vous conseille le toast aux champignons avec supplément oeuf & bacon. Je remercie Salomé pour son service chaleureux.
