Petinos likes to pride itself in it's over attentive service and (almost) endless variety of dining options. Petinos has something for everyone. Whether you're craving something sweet, something savoury, or even a little bit of both, we've got you covered.
Petinos in Laval is described as busy and popular, with generous portions and fast service that helps manage the crowds, and the menu covers hearty breakfast and brunch favorites from waffles and crepes to eggs benedict and other comfort dishes. The food is frequently praised for flavor and presentation, with soups, crepes and waffles highlighted as standout items, and portions are consistently described as large and reasonably priced. Service is a frequent bright spot, with staff noted for friendliness, attentiveness and quick, efficient service even during peak hours. Still, reviews mention the crowds and the no reservation policy leading to lineups, some pricing confusion on modifications and upcharges, and a few run ins with less satisfying service or management. Occasionally hygiene or conduct concerns are raised, but many guests still report a welcoming atmosphere and plan to return. Overall, Petinos is regarded as a reliable family friendly breakfast destination with a warm vibe and a consistent kitchen that draws repeat visits.
Arrived on a Thursday at 11:30 & the place was very busy. I now know why!!! I had the soup of the day - cream of broccoli & cheddar - & the Crab Cakes lunch special. I asked the chef for the recipes - that's how good it all was. & the small waffle for dessert was divine 😋 Special thanks to our server Kathy! She too deserves 5⭐?
I definitely recommend - but make reservations! This place is rocking!!!
We're always on the hunt for a great family breakfast spot, & Petinos in laval hit the spot.
Their fried chicken waffle eggs bene was exactly what we were craving - crispy chicken, soft waffles, & creamy hollandaise. The peanut butter & Nutella waffles were also the perfect finish. There are so many great options on the menu, & their service is extremely fast! Definitely going to be our go-to family breakfast spot!!

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.
Had the crepe with grilled chicken & mushroom. It was fine.
Went another time & tried their waffle cheescake.
Unfortunately, there's always a lineup in breakfast places like this that don't take reservations.
We were'forced' to eat under their tent as they had no place inside. It was windy, & the tent was always moving near our table. It was annoying.
We are regulars at Petinos & can always count on this restaurant for an amazing, filling, photo-worthy breakfast! Great for groups & staff is super sweet. All their dishes & drinks have been phenomenal up to now. We've been going for years & we will keep going for years. My favourite drinks; iced coffee; any smoothie; & pina colada. My go-to dishes; half-waffle with apple slices & caramel; 3 little pigs omelet; half-waffle with oreo (very sweet!); crepe with nutella, bananas & strawberries; & hollandais benedict. All of these are absolutely incredible & you will have left-overs. It's family friendly & many of the waiters also speak greek (P.S. I would attach more photos but I always jump right in before I could even get a photo)
We had the salmon benedict & cream cheese waffle both of which tasted really good. The hollandaise sauce on the salmon benedict & the cream cheese waffle was to die for. Definitely going back
I went on sunday, service was great but the food was not like usual. My waffle was hard & cold & the crepe was tiny, not the usual size & Benedict was over cooked worst experience since I've been coming there hope it's not a trend do better Petinos
Very crowded, my friend & I arrived right before the lineup started. Breakfast was expensive but very filling. I got the traditional two eggs, no meat, toast & fruits & my friend got waffles as well. The service was amazing, & I would come here again:)
