My family of 8 had breakfast here during the F1 race in May 2026. 5 stars all around! Atmosphere is out of this world.

Amazing breakfast here. Salad or fruit included with very healthy & high quality tasting sandwiches when you get the combo. Even the filter coffee tasted way better than usual. Very nice atmosphere inside & outside as well.

I stayed in Montreal at a nearby hotel for a week & went to SoLit every morning with coworkers. Amazing casual dining with an easy breakfast menu. They have gluten free baked goods & made each of my hot breakfasts gluten free (with gf bread!) no problem. I learned afterwards that this is a woman owned restaurant so bonus points! Every sign is in French first, as is Montreal law, & there's English translation for the American tourists who don't know French. Love this place & 100% will return on my next business trip!

We were walking around looking for a place for breakfast. While on our way to another place, we came across this place & decided to stop here instead. We all really enjoyed the food & sitting outside was a bonus. Don't know if I will be back in Montreal anytime soon but if I do, I will return.

Breakfast for two cost us $80CAD (all-in, with tip). We each ordered one dish & the $8CAD salad/fruit+coffee add-on. For this price, I expected a premium experience, but we got an average experience. We found a QR code at our table instead of a physical menu. After reading the menu on our phones (with all the scroll/zoom limitations of a bad mobile menu), we had to get up & order at the counter. The people working the counter were amazing. I rated two stars for service simply because the QR-code menu & counter-ordering meant there wasn't much service (they did bring our food to the table & bussed our table), but the people working here were stellar; we found no fault in them & they were the shining stars of this experience.

The ceiling has an Instagrammable, overcrowded orange-grove motif. Nothing else is as pretty. The tables are a mishmash of round metal/glass & wood. The restaurant isn't well-lit & there's cheap plastic décor thrown about. The round tables have doily-style tablecloths that your grandmother would be proud of--were she a French nun. These are covered with a big, glass disc. When our food arrived, it was placed on this glass, where the ceramic dishes spun freely as I tried to cut my bagel. This was not designed with thought.

The food is good. We didn't think it was amazing & it didn't make up for the experience. It was just good. 4 stars; above average.

I was annoyed because we had spent $80 on QR-code menus & awkward dining. It was at this time that I noticed the wall in the background that is covered with gold-colored, plastic decor & photos of the owner & family & their various awards. & right as I noticed this, the background music stopped & whatever radio service they use started playing ads. It all felt fake & cheap.

I found this to be a very average mall-style experience with a premium price. The food was decent, but I would much rather spend 85% for a 200% better experience a block over at the Pigeon Café (literally, we spent $68 at Pigeon for 2 full breakfast dishes, coffee, table service, & two more coffees to go vs. $80 at So LIT).

SO Slow.. 3 people working the breakfast was the wrong choice. The service at this place has always been slow though. Took 10mins, to order a bagel & an Americano...& no joke... it took 10 minutes waiting for the Americano after ordering... the Bagel was very good! 👍

Snow still blankets the world outside, but here in our cozy corner where we enjoy our breakfast, it's summer amidst the scent of ripe clementines 🍊 #WinterOutside #SummerInside #MorningRituals
