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.
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.

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.
Generous servings great service & very clean. The only drawback is due to its popularity there is usually a small wait before being seated. Pricing is also slightly higher for a bigger menu & big servings.
I live in Laval, first time at the DDO location. The service was amazing. We were a large group, the young gentlemen that served us was perfect. He was patient, kind, informative & we didn't feel any pressure to order or eat quickly. The food was great as usual!
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!
It's a regular easy breakfast go-to! So far have had good experiences. All the waiters have been great. The food is fresh & good. Sometimes there's some not so nice pieces of fruit & i find it a bit weird how at their closing at 3 they start shutting the lights off. I've never had that experience elsewhere, when they would close they would still let us sit & finish our meal in a timely matter & they would close/clean/mop/count their money & they wouldn't be bothered. Last time here it was 3:05 & the busboy came & was quite rude & took everything away in a rude way while getting all the table crumbs on me, he clearly lacks being careful. Anywho, other than that, it's good.
Amazing brunch spot in the suburbs, while they have other locations, I absolutely love the staff, atmosphere & consistency here. I recommend their fresh squeezed orange juice, avocado Benedict & their chicken & waffles.

Jerry was absolutely phenomenal, personable, professional & very hospitable. It was a family reunion after covid & he made it very memorable. You are lucky
I like their menu options & the food is so delicious. The waiters acknowledge you in a timely manner & interact with you, it's a good place to go even alone.
One of my friends recommended this place & I had never been to before. It's like any breakfast place but honestly the quality is on another level. I ordered the Montérégie & was not disappointed LOL. I'm definitely coming back.
