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.
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)
The Avocado tasted so bad, dry salad with almost no dressing, i asked for a bacon & eggs add on for 5$ extra on top of the 18$ dish. They literally sprinkled some bacon bits which you can probably count with your fingers on that dry bread with a poached egg (i wasn't given an option of how i wanted the egg)
My partner got a falafel salad which didn't take like a falafel at all. So dry & unflavored. Another 19$ for that btw.
The only reason we visited this restaurant was because the September Cafe was crowded & we thought let's give another restaurant a chance. I guess it wasn't a good bet.
The atmosphere is good but can get loud. The service was okay nothing exceptional.
I would avoid visiting this place if tasty food is your goal.
I'm sorry for being blunt but we spent 45$ on food that was not at all good & the quantity was so less for the prices they charge.
Very disappointed.

Mignon petit restaurant pour bruncher, mais j'ai malheureusement été déçu par la nourriture. J'ai pris les oeufs bénédictes au jambon, mais il y avait peu de sauce & seulement deux très petits morceaux de jambon :/ Mon amie a pris la toast à l'avocat, puis elle trouvait que la purée d'avocat semblait achetée puisqu'elle n'était pas très fraîche. Le croiwich était bon selon mon ami par contre!
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 😇
We tried this restaurant for brunch on a Sunday this summer. It was very hot outside &, despite all the open doors, also quite hot inside. The server was very friendly & attentive. There were several vegetarian options for both sweet & savoury tastes. We tried the french toast of the day (Nutella) & the pancakes. Both were a unique & unexpected experience. The pancakes were quite a bit more fluffy & sturdy than is typical. The french toast was perhaps not dipped in egg? Both were a bit dry. The portions are quite large & one dish could have sufficed both of us if we knew in advance. They sat us at the bench at the back of the restaurant, which had a lovely naturalistic view that was ideal for a calm experience.
Aesthetic, cozy, 😍 brunch, worth the weekend morning wait. Visited Sunny's Dinette on a long weekend trip from Toronto! Suggestions: Avo Toast with Poached Egg (we added some Tabasco) Soup of the Day (we got Cream of Tomato) Taste. Of. Heaven. Filter Coffee was Fresh & Flavourful. Amazing service by the team, helpful suggestions, great with English.
Such a sweet place! Had a breakfast with friends there. The atmosphere is great, very clean & beautiful place. The food was amazing, I had pancakes, & trust me, I've never been excited about pancakes that much! Had the best ones in my life! My friends had avocado toast, mtl bagel & croiwich - all was delicious 😋
Sunny Dinette, nestled in Montreal's charming southwest neighbourhood, offers a brunch experience that's a delightful fusion of good food, efficient service, & a friendly ambiance. The open kitchen concept adds a layer of excitement as you witness the chefs craft each dish with precision. The menu offers a variety of options. My selections included the Gravlax Benedict, which, while tasty, fell into the realm of the average. The Bread Pudding, reminiscent of French toast, was a comforting sweet treat. However, the star of the show was undeniably the Fried Cauliflower - a dish that elevated my brunch experience to new heights. The cauliflower dish was perfectly spiced & accompanied by a medley of vegetables like Brussels sprouts along side some halloumi cheese. The hummus dressing added a layer of richness that made each bite memorable. Despite the gastronomic triumphs, Sunny Dinette does have its drawbacks. With no reservation system in place, the wait time stretched to 30-40 minutes during my visit. The relatively small size of the establishment also contributed to a slightly cramped feel. However, these inconveniences are easily overshadowed by the overall positive experience. In conclusion, Sunny Dinette earns a solid 4/5 for its ability to deliver a brunch that balances great flavors, friendly service, & a warm atmosphere. All in all, I would recommend this place for brunch in the Montreal southwest area.

An amazing local spot! Staff are super friendly & nice. The quality of the brunch is excellent! We were in the mood of eating sweet brunch, so we ordered pancakes & French toast. Both were great! High quality dishes besides a good tasting coffee. We will definitely come back!
Walked in by absolute chance, looking for breakfast just before a business meeting in the area. My goodness, was I pleasantly surprised. Cute ambiance, warm & friendly service. Ordered the Avocado Toast & it was delicious, 10/10 on flavour, texture, freshness of products, topped with a poached egg cooked to perfection. Will be coming back to bring family & friends. Highly recommend 👌
