Sunny's Dinette wants to be welcoming to everyone. Like a family, with staff having as much fun as our customers and food that is as beautiful to look at as it is delicious to eat. Our complete menu is proudly concocted with top quality products, most often local.
Sunny's Dinette feels like a cozy retro brunch gem that blends classic diner charm with a modern twist, offering a warm atmosphere, pastel details and a menu that shines with pancakes, eggs Benedict, the croiwich, casseroles and veggie options. 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. Service is described as fast, friendly and attentive by many, though a few reviews note that service can feel average or the atmosphere could use some refinement during busier times. 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.
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
Beaucoup trop d'huile dans les plats : j'ai dû essorer le bacon tellement il était imbibé d'huile & le sandwich de mon copain était dégoulinant d'huile, ce qui n'est pas normal : le fond de l'assiette en était rempli. Il n'a pas pu le finir & on a eu mal au ventre après le repas.
De plus, j'ai remarqué que la cuisinière derrière le comptoir est sortie de la cuisine pour accueillir, je crois, un membre de sa famille, tout en portant les mêmes gants avec lesquels elle cuisinerait. Elle aurait dû changer de gants avant de retourner cuisiner, mais elle ne les a ni enlevés en sortant du comptoir, ni remplacés en revenant dans la cuisine. Ce n'est clairement pas hygiénique & représente un risque de contamination.
Le service était correct, mais je n'y retournerai pas & je ne recommanderais pas cet endroit.

Accueil très sympathique.
La soupe poulet & nouilles maison était délicieuse. Par contre le sandwich cubano ne l'etait pas. Le porc était coupé si petit & avec tant de sauce que la texture en était déplaisante. Dommage.

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.
We came by Sunny's dinette as a last minute brunch date & we were pleasantly surprised by the food. The potatoes were crispy on the outside & fluffy on the inside! For the classic plate, we took the sausage for our meat choice as suggested by the waitress. Very good! The sausage was also in the croissant sandwich, making it a hefty meal!

Fantastic & incredibly nice brunch venue in Griffintown❤?❤? The service is top notch despite the long lineups. The menu is incredibly awesome & we started with drinks followed by sandwiches, eggs Benedict, casserole & avocado toast & each bite was amazing ❤?❤? Cannot wait to come back to this 11/10 venue with family & friends & try other items on the menu 😇
August 18th - 10am-ish Nice day in Montreal, just before the forecasted deluge that has already hit the GTA. We don't have to wait long, however, the wait was not really worth the food in terms of quality & quantity for the price paid. I very much dislike giving good people (the owner was there & is super nice & the staff sont très gentilles) 3* reviews but just calling it how it is. The kitchen was kind enough to replace the bacon in my egg sandwich (15CAD) with avocado sans frais, & while that is appreciated, it did little to enhance the overall experience. The food came out at room temperature. I expected it to be piping hot or atleast warm. The coffee was brewed without love & tasted meh. It was also not warm. They had poured it in thermoses & that's the way to go if you are making & refilling regularly. That was not the case here. The piripiri chicken was the worst we've had anywhere! The chicken was tasteless & dry, the marinade hung on the pieces, like laundry hung outside on a muggy day. The couscous was dry (no dash of citrus here). For 20 dollars, it was not worth it. Also gave my wife a headache (probably all the uncooked marinade). All in all, I made a choice & it was not the best choice. With all due respect to the original & current owners. Oh, & very pork heavy menu. Bacon & pork sausage galore. Our best regards to the owners, however. I understand that it is tough to run an eatery post-Covid with all the staff shortages.
J'ai eu le Cubano & un latté. Le latté n'était pas fort du tout & était plus lait que café. Le sandwich était juste ok. La salade avait une sauce dont je n'était pas fan. C'était assez petit à l'intérieur. Le service était un peu lent car il y avait assez de monde à l'intérieur je pense.
Food was pretty good, but not everything was as described & the service was pretty bad. My sandwich had been accidentally dropped into the side soup & seemed like it was missing ingredients, & the cocktail I had was probably the worst I've had at a restaurant. However, the food was overall pretty good.

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
Pancakes: the best pancakes I have ever had! They are fluffy but the way the chefs made it, it's also has a mild crunch on the outside. The toppings & maple syrup is nothing special but the pancake texture made the dish delicious. I would come back just for the pancakes. Croiwich: croissant sandwich containing eggs, lettuce, salad & a spicy mayo. The star of the dish is the homemade peppery sausage pattie, that has a great chewy texture. 15$ for the sandwich is a bit much, given the simple toppings, but it was still good. I asked for a salad on the side of my croiwich, & the staff brought me a very small 1.5 cup of greens with 3 drops of a sour vinaigrette & charged me 7$. The salad as a side didn't exist on the menu but they didn't think of telling me about the price either. Never ask for the salad as & extra at this place. The staff & service was great, it would have been nice for the waitress to let me know that the salad was going to cost me 7$ though (since it wasn't among the extras on the menu). Again, I would come back for the pancakes.
Cozy cute brunch spot. Service was friendly & quick, not once did we feel rushed or being kicked out! We ordered the croiwich which was buttery & flaky, came with cheesy eggs & a thick hearty sausage patty. We also ordered the pain perdu sandwich of the day, which was an apple flavored bread with eggs & bacon. All of which was soaked in delicious maple syrup. Prices were decent & good to know you don't have to pay street parking until 1PM on Sunday's!
