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.
Some of the best eggs Benedict I've ever had. Perfectly poached eggs & the choice of lobster on the menu is a real treat. Kind & efficient waitstaff. Thank you for a delicious experience!
Ate here a few times. Food is good but service is terrible. Servers have attitude & make you wait unnecessarily to order. If you tell them you're ready, expect an even worse attitude! Third visit was for take out via telephone. On hold for 6 minutes. Called back & they picked up & put the call back on hold without greeting the call. Rude. Unfortunately living up to the reputation. Diner beware!

J'ai essayé la "Burger Montréal" , c'etait superbe. La viande était délicieux. La portion était grande. L'atmosphère comme un resto brunch. Je recommande bien!! I tried the "Burger Montréal". It was amazing. The meat is tender & the Burger just melts in your mouth. Portion size is big which is great. I recommend it.
It's very rare to find a place that feels like home...especially when your a tourist. We arrived from Melbourne the day before & Orange Cafe was our first breakfast...& we were hooked. The incredible big breakfasts, the easy parking, the super friendly staff (shoutout to Cheng, Will & Nick) & of course the legendary owner Ed. We ended up visiting a few more times whilst in Montreal & now back in Australia, I'm hard pressed to find anything close to Orange Cafe. Merci to you all, thanks for putting so much love in what you do. It was much appreciated PS: we will be back!!
EXCELLENT breakfast. l pass this restaurant every day & never really give it a sec9nd thought. That was a mistake. This is absolutely a hidden gem & their breakfast is fantastic with rare homemade hasbrown potatoes. We had french toast, bacon, Sausage, hashbrowns, bananas & cheddar scrambled eggs. ALL of it, a solid 5 stars. 2 Thumbs WAY up 👍👍HIGHLY RECOMMEND
I had a wonderful brunch experience at Orange Cafe, the breakfast was absolutely delicious, with a variety of tasty options to choose from. Our large group was accommodated with ease, even though we didn't have a reservation. The staff was incredibly friendly & made us feel right at home. It was a fantastic start to our day, & I highly recommend it for a great brunch outing.

Consistently the best brunch in Montreal, & great service. I used to live nearby & desperately miss it. The only down side is that they stopped doing dinner service a few years ago, & their dinner was just as amazing as the brunch! I will forever dream of their cracked black pepper burger...
Ate here on Christmas morning with my family (surprisingly no wait) All of the staff members are super kind & helpful. The food was great, & large enough portion sizes to take some home for later :)
Vraiment bon quantité pour le prix un peu plus cher que les autres brunch mais tu reçois plus en quantité!!! Les crêpes seules sont average sinon la poutine smoke meat était full bon & les combos de $25 avec toast, pancakes, oeufs, fruits, bacon, saucisses & fruits avec café illimité 😃
The food was really good, the service was a bit slow but our server was kind. the ambiance was okay, it was kind of dark inside but overall experience we are satisfied. parking on the street is a bit tricky.
It is a nice place with kind & hospitable staff. Access was easy with no stairs, although the entrance is a bit small & might not be wheelchair- friendly. We had a combo, which was enough for 2 & half people. It had coffe, juice, toast, french toast, poutine, ham, eggs & fruits included. Overall a very pleasant experience.
Best breakfast poutine I've ever had! Someone recommended this spot so we took the metro & walked to check it out. It was really busy but the service was super fast & our waitress was great. I wanted to get a picture of the breakfast poutine I ordered but it was so good I forgot...
