Petinos is described as a busy, welcoming breakfast spot with large generous portions and meals that are consistently fresh and tasty; the service is repeatedly praised as friendly, attentive, and efficient, with staff who know the menu well and offer helpful recommendations; the menu is broad and accommodates many tastes, including gluten free and vegan options, and guests often say they would return and would recommend it for family meals, brunch with friends, or large groups; some comments note that the atmosphere can be loud and crowded and that service speed can vary during peak times, but overall the experience remains very positive across visits.
The food was delicious, as usual. The service, by Thomas, was outstanding! Attentive, friendly & professional! We will definitely be coming back. Thank you Thomas for a great experience!
Food & service were excellent-everything came out fresh, & the staff was attentive & friendly. My only complaint is the coffee, which tasted very weak, almost like water. Improving the quality or strength of the coffee would make the experience much better overall.

The food was amazing. Our server waa attentive. The decor was minimalist. What bothered us was the noise level. It was high. I needed to wear my noise reduction ear buds that I bought specifically for concerts.
We had an amazing experience at Petinos thanks to our waiter, Niko! He was incredibly friendly, attentive, & made us feel welcome from the moment we sat down. He knew the menu well, gave great recommendations, & checked in just the right amount to make sure everything was perfect. His positive attitude really elevated the whole meal. If you're dining at Petinos, definitely ask for Niko-he's fantastic! cant wait to go back! made my day
While traveling from Toronto to Montreal, we stopped here for breakfast & it turned out to be an amazing experience. The food was absolutely delicious & tasted very fresh. The fresh orange juice was a perfect start to the day.
A special shoutout to Kartik, who served us-he was extremely helpful, kind, & attentive, which made the experience even better.
Highly recommend this place for breakfast. Easily 10 out of 5 stars! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Petino never disappoints but this one stands out cus of the waiter a real standup guy the italian w the gold necklace cross is very attentive to detail & makes sure ur happy
Went here for an office brunch with a group of over 30 people, & it was a wonderful experience. The restaurant was crowded, as it usually is, but the service was excellent. The staff were very friendly, patient, & attentive to our large group. The food was delicious & fresh. It took a bit of time to arrive, but that's understandable given how busy it was. Everyone enjoyed their meal, & the atmosphere was lively & welcoming.
Highly recommended, & we'll definitely be returning.

We came in for brunch today & had the joy to be served by Jerry! He gave us the golden standard of service & was super kind & attentive the whole time we were there, the food came quick & was delicious, the portions were huge & our coffee & water were always refilled without us even having to ask! We were given outmost care & felt so grateful for our time there, certainly one of the best experiences we've had & we will definitely come back after that perfect first impression, props to the team & to Jerry, you guys are doing an amazing job!
If I could give 6 stars, I would…
I went today for my lunch break & I was in shock of how AWESOME & efficient my waiter, Jerry, was.
He gave me one of the best services I've ever received at a breakfast restaurant. He's very considerate, attentive & generous.
Will definitely come back & bring my friends along!
Petinos is hands down one of my go-to places for breakfast whenever I'm in Montreal. The food is consistently delicious, with generous portions that leave you satisfied. The service is always top-notch, with friendly & attentive staff who make the experience even better.

2021 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️: Great friendly service, huge portions of tasty food. 2022 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️: Amended to reflect 5 stars for service. Very attentive & fast. I went twice in the last three days, the second time for a birthday breakfast; & a quick hint at the host upon entry braught a wonderful little birthday surprise for my friend without any further prompting; Coffee top ups, check ins, plentiful, good food..wonderful experience 2024 ⭐️: March break Friday, got up early to catch the Early Bird special, just to have our server Niko somehow screw up our order & as an amendment charge full price minus 10%. This in itself is not a problem, but he didn't own up to it, said we came in too late. (We entered the restaurant at 8h14, ordered our food within the next 5 minutes, the special is good until 8h30). It was full & there didn't seem to be enough staff, which makes me understand why our food arrived almost cold. But as it is, with the way the service was handled today, this will be our last visit for a while.
