For people living in the NDG district of Montreal, the name Resto Café Oxford conjures up images of what many have described as the best breakfast in Montreal and, in a city filled with breakfast places, that's sure saying a lot! The Resto Café Oxford on Sherbrooke in N.D.G. has been open since 1944, and has ever since transformed into not only a breakfast place but also a restaurant that has added many new items to the menu including steaks, salads, grilled chicken, submarines and popular Italian dishes such as many pasta, parmigiano, brushketta and more.
They sell a wide variety of breakfast specials including bacon and eggs, French toast, eggs Benedict's and what is known to be one of the best pancakes in Montreal.
Resto Café Oxford offers a cozy vintage vibe and a warm, welcoming atmosphere where homemade quality and generous portions meet affordable prices. Pancakes, eggs, bacon, fresh fruit, and classic brunch staples like the Elvis sandwich are consistently praised for being tasty and satisfying. The space feels intimate and charming with nostalgic decor and genuine hospitality that makes guests feel at home, thanks to the friendly owners. Overall, the experience comes across as reliable, comforting, and memorable, making it a go-to spot for brunch and casual meals.
cafe oxford is a nice local place. It is a bit small but you really get that local atmophere. The food is nothing exeptional but its not bad. I would recommend trying it out. I went this morning, im not super impressed but i would go back, there arent a lot of breakfest places in the area. Dont have super high expecation but its a decent place.
underrated gem in ndg. small business vibes, affordable prices, generous serving sizes, great food, lavish fruit arrangements, homemade potpouri, & wonderful human service—the other breakfast brunch spots in ndg don't compare
Good food , ate well & price it’s not too expensive. but the waitress is very rude. No class at all. I’m surprised the place is still open. Was unpleasant get service with sarcasm attitude from a waitress.
Great food at great prices, server was unnecessarily rude. I don’t expect people serving me with a smile, be fake nice or even go the extra mile. But the interaction I had with the server, was almost as if they go out of their way to be rude. They go as far as ti say that service tip must be 18%. Which by law, provincial laws is absolutely illegal. Anyways, if you don’t care for the service, this place works, otherwise, yeah don’t go.

I attended with my brother & mother. We were welcomed warmly & service was very attentive. We thoroughly enjoyed our breakfast. We loved the huge pancakes!
Le serveur a ajouté 15% à ma facture sans même me le dire. Quand je lui ai dit que j'avais droit de choisir moi-même le montant du pourboire il est devenu arrogant. J'avais l'intention de laisser 5$ (Ce qui était plus que 15%) mais je ne pense pas qu'un serveur doit prendre pour acquis qu'on laisse 15%. J'ai été franchement insulté.
Very very rude Staff, i walked in with my lil one & saw one of the staff member literally lashed on coustmer as she put coffee by herself. The lady who came to served me suddenly got really really rude with me when i just made sure that there will be no meat in my food. Brunch was highly expensive for the quantity & quality they provided . It is BIG NO for me for the food standard & service they are providing!
Nous sommes allés déjeuner avec notre fils. Notre dernière visite datait certainement de plusieurs mois. Très déçus du service: des verres vides à table jamais remplis d'eau, aucune deuxième tasse de café offerte, demande de confiture pour les rôties restée sans réponse. Notre voisin a attendu près de 15 minutes pour obtenir un menu. & non, ce n'était pas bondé... & c'est le proprio qui assurait le service aux tables...Également déception au niveau alimentation: des fruits congelés servis alors que nous sommes en plein mois de juillet...
Delicious food! Eggs benedict are a must! Best home made potatoes in Montreal. Have been going there since I moved in to NDG with my boyfriend. We have been consistently trying breakfast restaurants & finally found one with great service & delicious food. Highly recomended!
Avoid. So many problems.
- Owners are rude. Really defensive if you point out anything that might be an issue.
- Unlike every other breakfast place, coffee is not included in price of meal & is overpriced at $2.35 for basic coffee. You'll only find this out once you get the bill.
- Breakfast is generic, like something you would find at a hotels all you can eat buffet.
- Not very clean.
