I've been to many Petinos branches. The food was ok. Portions were much smaller than in St-eustache & Boisbriand. This is possiblity the noisiest restaurant I've ever been to. Service was excellent, they were very attentive, & came to check on us many times during the meal. We had to eat on the terrasse because of the noise. There was literally half the potatoes & bacon than I'm used to in the other Petinos. Eggs were perfect.
Petinos has been a staple for my family for years, & this location continues to prove why. The portions are always generous, the food is consistently fresh, & the menu makes it easy to enjoy both sweet & savory without ever choosing wrong.
The potatoes are addictive, the chicken is tender & crispy, & the eggs always come out exactly how you want them. One of our friends swears by the fresh salmon & avocado & orders it every single visit. Even the dessert at the end hits the spot - & when there's too much food, it makes great leftovers.
The service is truly exceptional. The staff is friendly, attentive, & always smiling. They check in often, refill water without being asked, & are amazing with kids. We even had the chance to meet Franca, the owner, who works just as hard as her team to make sure every guest leaves happy.
A special shoutout to their 2?for?1 mimosa special, which comes with a full mini bottle - such a fun & generous touch.
Overall, Petinos remains one of the top breakfast spots in Montreal. Great food, great people, & a place that genuinely cares about its customers. Highly recommended.

I recently dined at Petinos in Laval & unfortunately, my experience was not as expected. We ordered two dishes from the'Montérégie' section, which include a half waffle, eggs, meat, beans, bread, & potatoes. We requested to swap the waffle for a crepe (with a $1 upcharge) & opted out of meat & beans due to dietary restrictions.
When it came to the eggs, I chose an omelette, but the waiter did not mention any additional charges for the omelette, i asked if the omelette came with any toppings & he said it comes with 1 choice so i said ok ill do cheese i guess. I believe the waiter may have misunderstood when i asked if the omelette comes with any toppings. Because why is it when i got the bill i was charged extra for the omelette & extra for the cheese! So already 2$ extra to swap the waffles for a crepe, we asked for strawberry also inside one of the crepes another 1$, & they charged 1$ for the omelette which they never mentioned & it doesnt say in the menu what egg choice you can have with your plate, & then 3$ for the cheese in the omelette that i didnt really care for but i figured since the waiter said i can have 1 choice with the omelette i went for it. What upset me the most is even though we removed the meat which is themost expensive part of the whole plate & we removed the beans they didnt offer to replace it with any of the other choices. & on top of that i chose the banana peanut butter nutella crepe with english cream, i received just banana & nutella, when i mentioned it to the waiter after i cut through it & noticed it wasnt what i ordered he just took my plate back & he added a little drizzle if peanut butter & a but if cream instead if just changing it. I had to tell him to replace it!
So 2 plates ended up coming at 67$ &
Overall, while the food itself was okay, the unclear pricing & extra charges without explanation left a negative impression.

I went to Petinos Sunday morning. They used to have on their menu 2 eggs, choice of meat, potatoes with a banana Nutella crepe. I noticed that it wasn't on the menu anymore so I was asking the waitress if that same platter only came with the banana pancake if I can have a Nutella crepe instead. She didn't answer me she just wrote down my order. When I got my plate they made the pancake into a crepe with Nutella. It was thin & hard. & the sausages were horrible. They changed them. I think there veal sausages now. I used to have recommended this as a good breakfast place but now I would not.
Disappointed, very loud you cannot have a conversation, food is tasteless, had the crepe with bacon & cheddar. Bacon was ok, there was only a whiff of cheddar, potatoes were oily, Hollandaise sauce was tasteless I don't even know what it was just yellow goop. The waiter was nice the place is clean I would not eat there ever again.
This resto is similar to other breakfast chains, usually very good, however, this particular experience left me very disappointed (first time at the Laval location).
The service was quite slow at 8am (resto barely had 10 customers). We waited 20-30 minutes before flagging down the waiter to take our order.
I was truly disappointed with my plate. I ordered an omelette & requested to replace the potatoes with a vegetable - they suggested spinach & I accepted. They charged an extra $2.50 for the tiniest bowl of spinach (pictured). I think they could have made a bigger effort with the portion size for $2.50 considering they ‘saved’ the potatoes. The picture was taken before I actually touched my meal - all in all, extremely measly plate. $24.80 + tip is what I paid for this plate! 😦
We came to the ultimate PETINOS today we have no power & decided to enjoy their delicious food
Our waiter was great! Place was clan. My greek omelet was plentiful & superb
