Yesterday morning was a great experience, I was served by Marianne, she was very friendly & attentive to us. She made sure we add coffee all breakfast, she was very nice to our daughter, & brought her pencils to draw. The food was pretty good as well, I loved my omelette. Very satisfied. A great way to spend Christmas!
I've never stayed at the Intercontinental before, but it's been a wonderful experience. The in-hotel restaurant was incredible. The first night we were there (Thursday) I ordered a smash burger, price was great, & our servers Marc & Clara were absolutely lovely. I hope to see them again before we leave. The next morning I got to experience the breakfast buffet (so good!!!) & our server Marc (but not the same one lol) was so nice. Over all incredible experience. It's making for a very relaxing comic con weekend.
Pretty decent selection, it's a breakfast buffet not a brunch & closes at 11 am - service was great. No one to receive us for 5-10 minutes at the door, but after that it went well. Will return.

Very budget-friendly breakfast buffet style considering the nice deco, nice table in a prime location hotel in Old Montreal. ($36 + tax & tip) Variety of food to choose, I like the English egg (poached egg in a creamy sauce). The food refill pretty fast too. Just the place can get crowded in a small buffet room.
We had lounge access during our stay, & the breakfast & dinner served were exceptional. We really enjoyed our time, especially when Jonathan was working. He was extremely attentive, he made great recommendations for where to go in the city & was very fun to be around.
This review is for the Club Lounge in the Intercontinental that is associated to the restaurant. The lounge is very nicely decorated. There were a generous amount & variety of drinks available during happy hour, a hot entree (the chicken & potatoes one evening were excellent) as well as vegetables, dip, salad, Sandwhiches & petit desserts. Breakfast was also delicious, after hours food was a bit lacking on some days though. On several occasions, the lounge was tended by Johnathon. His service was absolutely excellent, he was very efficient at keeping everything available & fresh, but was also incredibly personable & kind to everyone in the lounge. Also serving as a concierge helping with suggestions about Montreal, transportation & showing a real love & enthusiasm for Montreal & each guest. He is really a gem, the hotel is very lucky to have him.
We had an a la carte breakfast & what a mistake that was. Food was just OK, which is not what's expected at a restaurant like this. To be fair, it looked like the buffet would have been a much better choice but we didn't have it so I can't review it! Service was good.
