Reviews describe Petinos as a lively breakfast and brunch spot with generous portions, a broad menu and food that many guests find tasty and comforting, and the atmosphere is often described as welcoming with friendly staff and reliable value, though several visits note variability in service speed and attentiveness depending on the time and crowd, with busy mornings, longer waits and occasional lapses such as slow water service, miscommunications or seating tensions, many diners praise dishes like eggs Benedict, waffles, avocado toast and smoked salmon and say portions are substantial, while a few reports mention items that did not meet expectations like rye bread that was over toasted, dishes served cold or spinach in eggs florentine that used frozen spinach, noise levels and seating comfort can vary with outdoor areas sometimes needing shade and umbrellas, overall Petinos remains a dependable option for a hearty breakfast or brunch with warm hospitality, though weekend crowds and occasional inconsistencies should be anticipated.
I love this place a lot. I was very impressed when I came for the first time for a brunch & I've already been there twice & I would definitely recommend the food is absolutely delicious. I'm super impressed. Doesn't taste like your typical franchise food. It still has that homemade taste & the staff is incredible. Good service, beautiful location & I would definitely be coming back here very often.
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.
