The coffee, fresh juices and house made maple syrup are frequently praised, and generous portions with high quality ingredients help keep prices reasonable for the quality.

The space is often called cute and cozy with a welcoming vibe, and the potatoes and sandwich options, as well as the overall presentation, are highlighted as standouts, while some meals are described as bland or pricey and a few notes mention temperature or heat in the dining area. Overall, it appears to be a well loved brunch destination with frequent recommendations to return for the pancakes, eggs Benedict, croiwich and casseroles, appreciating the charm and the staff and the efforts of the new owners.
The atmosphere is different, but we liked it. The food took about 30 minutes but it might of been the best breakfast we've ever had. I had the belt & my friend had the creamcheese bagel.
We tried Sunny's Dinette. Cappuccinos were great, perfection! I had the Croiwich which is basically a breakfast sandwich in a croissant. The sausage was really good but the croissant was hard; overall the sandwich was bland, & so were the potatoes. My friend took the egg Benedict which were good. Also can restaurants get decent hot sauce, Tabasco sauce is not hot sauce. Ok spot with great coffee

The place is nice, good people with smile on the face & polite attitude .
But when it comes to a professional server they are missing that. There is a lady server who doesn't clear things while taking the order. 1. Like we talked about having fries instead of home potatoes but she still charged us with the fries. It's not about 4$ it's about the role a server plays in what we eat. 2. Another thing we noticed was small two half cut triangle toast pieces. Cant even call it a single toast that we got in our classic breakfast. 3. The coffee wasn't served & we had to ask for it after the order as we were waiting for the food. The coffee was only served once & no one bothered to ask for a refill. Thats not a Dinette feeling at all.
Still tipped them full, as dont want to take this as a excuse to not tip (is what is assumed these days if you dont tip)
Everyone who works here is so kind & joyful! Delicious breakfast (especially the eggs benny) & lattes. Some good veggie options too. Totally recommend!
My husband & I came here & we absolutely loved it. The server was so kind & the food was absolutely amazing. I think this was my favourite breakfast place in Montreal! Their hot chocolate was absolutely amazing that I ordered two.
Absolutely loved their food. I had the croiwich & my husband had the grilled cheese with tomato soup!
We also ordered a side of pancakes! We will definitely come here again.

Sunny's Dinette - A retro brunch gem you won't want to miss
What a great find! Sunny's Dinette delivers a brunch experience that's both nostalgic & modern. From the moment you walk in, you're charmed by the retro decor - pastel blue tiles, vintage stools, & soft natural light. It feels like stepping into a 1960s American diner, but with a fresh, refined twist.
The service is fast, friendly, & attentive. The staff is welcoming, knows the menu well, & offers great suggestions based on your preferences.
As for the food - it's flawless. The pancakes are legendary: fluffy, generous, & served with fresh fruit & house-made maple syrup. The coffee is excellent, & the freshly squeezed juices add a refreshing touch. Special shoutout to the breakfast sandwich: flavorful, well-balanced, & perfectly grilled.
Congratulations to the new owners who've added their special touches while preserving the soul of the place. You can feel the passion behind every detail - from the ambiance to the kitchen.
Prices are very reasonable for the quality (around $20-30 per person), & the cozy vibe makes it perfect for brunch with friends or a quiet solo moment.
I would absolutely recommend it with 5 stars. It's the kind of place you'll want to come back to - & come hungry.

Sunny's Dinette - Un bijou brunch rétro à ne pas manquer
Quelle belle découverte ! Sunny's Dinette offre une expérience brunch à la fois nostalgique & moderne. Dès l'entrée, on est charmé par le décor rétro impeccablement soigné : comptoir en carrelage bleu pastel, tabourets vintage, lumière naturelle… On se croirait dans un diner américain des années 60, mais avec une touche contemporaine & raffinée.
Le service est rapide, chaleureux & attentionné. L'équipe est souriante, connaît bien le menu & n'hésite pas à faire des suggestions selon vos goûts.
Côté assiette, c'est un sans-faute. Les pancakes sont légendaires - moelleux, généreux, & servis avec des fruits frais & du sirop d'érable maison. Le café est excellent, & les jus fraîchement pressés ajoutent une belle touche de fraîcheur. Mention spéciale pour le sandwich déjeuner : savoureux, bien équilibré, & parfaitement grillé.
Félicitations aux nouveaux propriétaires qui ont su ajouter leurs touches spéciales tout en préservant l'âme du lieu. On sent une vraie passion derrière chaque détail, autant dans l'ambiance que dans la cuisine.
Les prix sont très raisonnables pour la qualité offerte (environ 20-30 $ par personne), & l'ambiance conviviale en fait un lieu idéal autant pour un brunch entre amis que pour un moment tranquille en solo.
Je le recommanderais sans hésiter avec 5 étoiles. Un endroit où on revient avec plaisir - & avec appétit.

Great brunch spot! Great food, reasonable/average prices, good service... all was great, but a quality of the coffee, unfortunately. I would totally recommend for a breakfast or brunch, this spot, & wouldn't mind to come back
One of the best breakfast & brunch places in Montréal. Food is tasty with quality ingredients. Staff is very friendly. Family style atmosphere. Must try in st-henri
Sunny's Dinette is a gem! The food is fresh, flavorful, & feels homemade.the portions were generous. The service was friendly & fast, with a cozy, welcoming vibe. Perfect spot for breakfast or brunch if you're looking for something casual yet delicious. Highly recommend!
Sunny's comes by the name rightfully - I was greeted with the sunniest welcome when I entered. The food was incredible. The brunch casserole, a breakfast take on poutine, was packed with flavor. The Pancake was so thick, & yet still fluffy, I didn't know such a thing existed. This small adorable diner contains mountains of flavor & personality.
Very good overall! We took the breakfast sandwich with the sausage patty, so good! but be careful the potatoes are not included in the price (we didnt know!) Its a bit pricy, 29$ for a sandwich, potatoes & espresso, but I guess thats how it is these days. Service was good also! Would definitely come back
I took the classic with sausage. There was only one small cold patty. The tomatoes tossed in parsley felt a bit old. Most of my plate was filled with potatoes & there was nothing to spread on the bread. I'd go somewhere for a classic breakfast but the other dishes looked good.
One of the best breakfast diners in montreal, good food, the best pancakes & great staff & service. Seatings really cozy & comfortable & they always have great music, a little on the pricy side but its soooooo worth. Would highly recommend even if you dont live in the area, hell im from beaconsfield & i go a couple times a month.
Cute & friendly spot in St Henri. Service is very friendly & attentive. The owner makes sure that patrons are comfortable & being catered for. Waiting time was adequate, we did not have to wait long to be seated nor to be served. The menu is unpretentious & straightforward. We ordered the pancakes, Croiwich, with sides of breakfast potatoes & breakfast sausage. Overall, food is well executed but could have used a bit more seasoning across the board. The Croiwich could have been served with a side for the price charged. The pancakes were fluffy but we found that more syrup was needed. Overall, the service was the highlight of our visit. It really reflected the "sunny" aspect of the diner :)
