Had brunch at Sunny's Dinette with the family & really enjoyed it. The food was fresh, portions were generous, & everything we ordered came out exactly as expected.
The atmosphere is relaxed & welcoming, making it a great spot to catch up over a good meal. Friendly service & a menu with plenty of options for everyone at the table.
Looking forward to coming back the next time we're in the area. ☀?🍳🥞

I really wanted to enjoy this place as it's close to home. Walked in on Saturday, seated outside which was great & it was a sunny day. Waitress took 20 minutes to come & see us, & it took an hour & 20 minutes to actually receive the food. I followed up with the waitress twice, which whom on the second time, told me some of the food was ready & on the counter, the other food was being cooked. I wasn't sure if I was supposed to be excited that my food was finally coming, or that my food was sitting on the counter until the rest was ready.
Told them I had a nut allergy. When the food was brought to the table, I asked if it was ok, waitress said she didn't know (it was a different person) & that she'd check with the kitchen & come back. She never did.
The scrambled eggs were nothing great, small portion, on a single plate. A separate plate for french toast, a separate plate for the potatoes. I don't understand why they wouldn't put it all in one plate. The waitress visibly saw that we had no space to fit all of that on the table, besides the other dishes, but she still'tried'. During the hour & 20 minute wait time, not once did she come back to ask us if we wanted a refill on our coffee, or anything in the meantime. Nor did she ever come to say sorry, or explain the lengthy wait time. At the very least, they could have simply waived the 3$ coffee from the bill to accommodate for the poor service, food quality, & wait time. It was truly a waste of 70$. We really wanted to like this spot, but we wont be returning.
Stopped in here on a Saturday while doing some shopping nearby & finally got to check it out. The staff was super nice, service was good, & I did like the open kitchen concept where you can see everything being made fresh. The pancakes were actually really tasty too, even if they were way smaller than I expected from the menu 😅
That being said, I personally wasn't a huge fan of the seating setup. All of the tables are very high-top/community style tables, which just made the experience feel uncomfortable for me. There wasn't really anywhere to put a purse, sit comfortably, or relax for a longer breakfast. I also honestly don't think the indoor seating would be very wheelchair accessible, which is something worth noting. Beautiful summer day you can sit outside they had a few cafe style tables.
The eggs Benedict with salmon were good, but definitely on the saltier side l personally didn't mind it, but if you're sensitive to salt you might notice it right away.
Overall, I'd say it's more of a'try it once for the experience' type of breakfast spot rather than somewhere I'd personally go back to for a cozy, hearty breakfast. Still glad I checked it out though!
This was my first time at Sunny's Dinette & it was just amazing, I orders a croissant sandwich with cube fries & it was heaven, the croissant sandwich tasted so nice with the ham & cheese it was beautiful.
The service was great, the staff were very friendly & professional.
The atmosphere was good there were people chatting around you bust it was still easy to chat with my family so it was very pleasant.
I do highly recommend Sunny's Dinette & will develop coming back in the future. Hopefully next yea
I've been to Sunny's Dinette twice now, & both experiences were great. The first time, I ordered the ham eggs Benedict, which was delicious. My friend's croissant sandwich was equally tasty. We sat at the counter, which gave us the chance to watch the chef cooking with real skill & attention to plating - he's genuinely impressive to watch.
The service is definitely above average for Montreal, especially considering the area where the restaurant is located.
The second time, I went with a bigger group & we were treated just as well. I ordered the eggs Benedict with shredded beef, which was also excellent. During our visit, the owner noticed I was filming content about the brunch & kindly offered my meal as a complimentary courtesy from the house.
Highly recommend it, & I'll definitely be coming back again.
