Petinos is described as a popular breakfast and brunch spot with very large portions and a broad menu, where many dishes like waffles, eggs Benedict and salmon toast are praised for flavor and value. The food is often described as fresh and satisfying, with cooks achieving well prepared eggs and generously portioned plates. Many guests highlight friendly and attentive service on good days, while others report inconsistent experiences, slower service on busy weekends, and occasional seating or noise issues. The atmosphere is usually lively with both indoor and outdoor seating, though outdoor spaces occasionally need umbrellas for shade and comfort. A few reviews note minor flaws such as dishes arriving a touch cold or tables being cramped, but the overall impression is that Petinos provides reliable, satisfying brunch options that work well for groups and friends seeking variety and generous portions. Some guests emphasize that it remains a go-to choice in the area for a hearty breakfast, even as a few visits remind of room for improvement in consistency.
Petinos is one of the too breakfast spots in the city.
I recommend trying the Montérégie Half Waffle with Strawberries, English Cream & Nutella. The waffle tastes great. It comes with eggs & sausage. Eggs are cooked to your choice. I had over easy eggs & they were cooked perfectly. I also recommend upgrading to Petinos potatoes, they add cheese & hollandaise sauce on top of the potatoes! Totally worth the 3.50$. The meal also comes with toast & coffee. Very good value. I always have a great experience at Petinos!

I live in the neighborhood so I come here regularly & honestly, this place is a hit or miss depending on the waiter/waitress serving you that day. One day it's great, waitress is friendly, efficient & actually cares about your order, the next day it's disappointing, another waitress sounds impatient (even if it's early & not even peak hours yet), don't even bring water until you ask for it & comes back with the wrong order etc. I keep coming back because I like the food (yummy waffles!) but that lack of consistency in customer service is underwhelming, & that's why I rarely recommend this place when I have friends & family visiting because I never know if I'll get a good service or not that day.
David a accompli un excellent travail. Son service est à la fois courtois, souriant & respectueux. Je le recommande vivement : vous serez entièrement satisfait. »
The food & service are excellent! BIG menu selection. Quality is excellent.
The only complaint is the noise level. Extremely loud place for relaxed dining. The management should invest in to sound absorbing finishing on the ceiling & walls! I measued the average sound level to be at 95 to close to 100 DB. Long term exposure
is not recommended. The loud sound is from the many clients trying to talk over each others talking plus the background music!
We absolutely liked the food & service. The coffee was also excellent!
C'était absolument fantastique. Le service est exceptionnel, même pendant un période de rush nous avons été servis rapidement. La cuisine & le staff sont compétents & professionnels. Je vous recommande ce restaurant pour une expérience client réussie!!
It's best to make reservations before coming unless it's just for a table for two. I've been to this Petinos location several times, & the food & service have always been excellent. The potato with hollandaise sauce is the standout dish that keeps me coming back-it's absolutely delicious. Despite being extremely busy, the staff here are attentive & friendly. I would definitely recommend this place.
Very nice brunch restaurant Though super busy on Saturday morning, it's very organized. Clean setup, fast service, delicious food. I highly recommend it.
