Orange Café is seen as a lively brunch spot in the NDG area with generous portions and a wide menu that covers all day breakfast, brunch and lunch options. Many visits praise the food quality on items like eggs benedict, the O C sandwich, waffles and grilled cheese, and the overall value is described as very good with large servings. The atmosphere is warm and community oriented with friendly staff and a family friendly vibe, and the decor reflects the neighbourhood while a kids menu and coloring options add to the appeal. However, there are recurring complaints about slow or unfriendly service on busy days, long waits to be seated even when seats are available, and occasional inconsistencies such as dishes not arriving hot or items missing or mischarged. The noise level can be high and some reviews indicate the experience worsens on peak times. Overall, Orange Café comes across as a strong go to for brunch with big flavors and generous portions, but experiences vary and service or consistency does not always meet expectations.
This is a very good place to eat. Friendly staff, good food & coffee. Not crazy expensive but as all others restaurants now, the tip starts at 18%. Not just this restaurants problem.
C'était très long pour trouver une table pour six. Cependant, on nous a servi des drinks gratuitement pour compenser. J'ai bien aimé l'omelette aux champignons
I live in Warwick NY, I've got 2 daughters that attend SUNY Plattsburgh. Montréal is an awesome, & beautiful city to visit. We love making day trips, we're making great memories & having a blast. But first we stop at Orange Cafe'. Great food, great atmosphere, & great people. You will not be disappointed!!

Potatoes we're refreshing & unique. They are well seasoned with some nice onions & peppers. Delicious potatoes & different from any other brunch restaurants.
I took the sandwich déjeuner in a croissant & it was excellent. Bacon was just enough crispy & not too fat.
I went many years without eating here because the quality had degraded, I came back last year & it was totally different for the better. But my experience today has me completely turned off once again. Quality of the food has gone down, particularly the breakfast potatoes. Creton was inedible. Service also left much to be desired. A table of 4 received one coffee refill & zero water refills during the hour plus we were there. When we went to pay the bill, we received no thanks or a goodbye as we were leaving the restaurant.
You would be best served eating elsewhere for breakfast.

LOVE THIS SPOT! the food is amazing & the prices are reasonable, service is quick. one of my favourite breakfast spots in montreal. portions are generous
I've liked Orange Cafe in the past but my last experience was disappointing.
I was charged extra for a change I made to my order (I actually had fewer ingredients than the item I ordered) & was not told about the charge until I saw it on my bill. I also did not receive the full order I was promised in the first place. Unfortunately I only realized I was missing items after I left. I called to talk to them about that the next day that I felt I was overcharged but no one called me back which sent me the message that they really don't care about their customers. Such a shame because I really like that place but would never go back.
We had 11 of us here on Sunday, on a very busy Mothers Day morning. Food & service were both excellent! Really appreciated that they could sit us together. Will definitely be back!
I think this place is no longer what it used to be. I had eggs Benedict as I often do. The eggs come cooked almost hard & cold. I'm aware of how hollandaise sauce works so I understand you can't keep reheating it. Personally I believe that it should be applied to piping hot food & served right away. The grated Gruyère cheese was not melted & the bread was soggy. I think not only under & overcooked at the same time but that it probably sat at the pass for a while. The potatoes have lost all their charm & two tiny sad pieces of fruit. In the recent past I have noticed a major decline in food quality while seeing prices go up. The service today could be described as slow & uninterested. It was not overly busy either. It's not the first time either that I wasn't happy with the food. I was in a few months ago & had a similar experience with my eggs benny although the potatoes were still good at that time. Sad to see this place on the decline
