My favourite breakfast/brunch spot! Service is always good despite how busy they are. The food is top notch! I've never made a reservation but usually only 2 people - if you're a group you definitely want to reserve in advance. My only complaint is that the booths are quite small, so if you're more than 2 people seating is tight

I loved my first time trying their breakfast. It was amazing! They might have the best breakfast potatoes in all of Montreal. Such good quality ingredients & flavors, & great price too!

Excellent food taste & portions for breakfast. We were very pleased with the meal itself. The service was prompt & agreable. We were however served lukewarm water to drink when we asked for water, & we were a little disappointed that coffee is not included with breakfasts which are $20+ for most options. We were also seated right infront of a big vent with ice cold AC, which must be nice during summer, but it was on in late October & we spent our entire meal in coats.

The huevos rancheros were great! Potatoes are also very good but impressive how they have such a good menu. The carrot-cake pancakes were also fantastic!

I LOVED it. From the moment you pass trough the door you know where you are, who they are as business owner & what you're about to get. Boy did it not dissappoint! Tex mex americana vibe, great food, nice playlist. It was everything I was hoping for & more!

I've been hesitant to write this review for a long time, because I really wanted to love this place. I've been going to the Pointe-Claire Deli since before the new owners bought it during Covid, & I was genuinely excited to see it given new life. The decor & vibe inside are lovely… cozy, bright, & full of potential.

That being said, over time the place has become increasingly unwelcoming. The prices have gone up quite a bit, & while I was surprised when they removed the free coffee with breakfast, I shrugged it off. Then the high chairs for kids disappeared, which was explained as a safety issue. Again, not the end of the world. But when I brought a friend with a toddler who had never been before, she was taken aback by the sign in the window saying'loud kids must be escorted out.' I completely understand wanting a peaceful dining environment, but the tone of the message felt unnecessarily harsh. I was embarrassed that I'd recommended the place to her, because it just didn't feel friendly. Still, that wasn't enough to stop me from returning.

Unfortunately, what has finally made me stop going is the attitude & customer service. The younger staff are always kind, polite, & accommodating, truly a pleasure. But whenever the woman I believe to be the owner is working, I instantly regret sitting down. She is consistently curt, avoids eye contact, & gives off the impression that customers are a bother.

To give a few examples: my table of five once asked for ketchup & received one tiny paper - barely bigger than what you'd get at a fast food place. Another time we asked for water for everyone, & only two glasses were brought. On my last visit, there was a piece of paper still attached to the slice of cheese in my burrito. I didn't mention it because she was so unapproachable, but I left it on my plate thinking she might at least acknowledge it when clearing the table… she didn't.

After dozens of visits, I've decided I won't be going back, simply because I don't feel welcome. It's such a shame, because it's one of the only spots in Valois that doesn't have that friendly, neighborhood warmth. When the younger staff are running things, the place feels completely different; relaxed, pleasant, & inviting. They're wonderful & deserve credit. I truly wish them all the best in the future.
