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.
What a spot ! Can't wait to go back. Curious to know how they managed to place my poched eggs on the English muffin.. with making it soggy. I was ready to throw out my bread. Glad I got to enjoy every bite. I'll defenetly go back.
We stepped in as a group of 7 today morning & they accommodate us pretty well. Food was good. Coffee had a free refill & our server was there anytime we need anything. The fruit was very fresh. We will be back for sure. The portion of food was not very big for the egg Benedict, compared to other menu items.

I wanted to start by saying the food is amazing. I ordered English McMuffin with a poached egg Hollandaise sauce & capers on top The fries were salty & crunchy. The fruit was fresh. The dessert was the best part. It had walnuts bananas chocolate wrapped up. I asked the server. What's the most liked dessert here? This is what he recommended the waiter was kind & nice. The atmosphere was friendly but the reason, I don't give it five star Is because it's not the waiter was too quick. I don't mind if he was too quick cuz honestly it's a very packed restaurant but he wasn't really paying attention have food in the atmosphere are very good but I just gave the atmosphere four stars because it's very loud & packed. That's not the restaurant's fault The food was amazing. It's just the service
For 23$ I had this huge plate. The steak Benedict without mushrooms cause im allergic. Was wonderfully i had to bring the second egg home. Highly recommend!
Great Breakfast place! You need to get there before 11am on weekends or you're going to wait a bit. They remember regulars. Service is always very good, & friendly, & offering advice on dishes, if you need it. The eggs are always cooked perfectly. I don't understand the jam on the fresh fruits, but you can ask to not have the jam, & the fruit isn't cut the best (quite a few with rind still on it), but the rest is very tasty!
I always order the Avocado Benedict, with the sauce on the side (a few pics of that). I also ordered the petinos special, which is like meat lovers breakfast, or pork 4 ways.,see pic (bacon, ham, roast pork, Creton, etc).
The quality of the egg Benedict wasn't as expected ... the bread was burned & the taste is nothing compared to to other alternatives in the area ... really disappointed A positive point goes to their potato's :)
I had the avocado toast with mixed fruit (pineapple, berries, etc.), with home fries & scrambled eggs. It was delectable & the portions were very large. So big in fact, that I split the dish with my coworker. I will return asap. The staff was very friendly & the service was terrific. My other coworkers had a traditional breakfast with sausage, crepes, etc. They enjoyed their experience as well.
I had been going to Petinos since they opened. A few years ago I stopped going since the owners had changed & I found that the meals were not the same. The portion size was much smaller so I stopped going. Then, today, I decided to go with my wife & see if things had improved. To my surprise they had greatly improved due to the new owner, Tracey. The portions were much bigger. We ordered two eggs & received two eggs. We ordered potatoes & received a very generous portion. Petinos was back to being the excellent restaurant I remember. We enjoyed the food & our entertaining waiter, Sylvain. You could see the smile on this face through the mask. I do recommend Petinos. It is back to being the great breakfast & lunch restaurant it once was & maybe more so. Returned again & this time we were served by Jerry. Very fast, excellent service.
Really good food, great service. Considering how busy they were, food came out fairly quickly & the server was great. I got a mix with eggs, crepes & fruit, everything was delicious!
