Review Summary

The Famous Cosmos is described as an old school diner with a warm, nostalgic counter vibe and a small town feel that makes guests want to linger. The atmosphere is casual and lively, with stools at the bar, friendly chatter, and a sense of community that makes regulars and first-timers feel welcome. The menu earns strong praise for generous portions and solid flavors, especially the Mish Mash, popular breakfast staples, and comforting burgers and potatoes, all at very good value. Coffee is consistently highlighted as top notch, and service is noted as attentive and efficient even when seating is limited. While space can be tight and the setup simple, patrons appreciate the unpretentious, no frills ambiance and the quick, tasty fare that brings them back year after year, underscoring Cosmos as a staple breakfast and diner spot in NDG.

The food was excellent. Good price.

Arrived here & had to wait 20 minutes for a stool to open up, finally when a seat became available. This older woman came in & said that her & her husband were waiting before me.

She was outside smoking & kept coming in & out of the place, I didn't see her husband anywhere, but nonetheless, I got out out of the way & let her sit

Waited another 15 minutes for a seat & then finally became available, after sitting down for another 20 minutes I was finally asked if I had been served yet. I told them no, & the man was very apologetic noticing I had been waiting a long time to order & sitting patiently.

I was quickly offered coffee & the gentleman took my order right away, the food was made hot & ready within minutes & was very flavourful & tasted amazing again the coffee was top shelf & tasted really good.

I ordered a BLT with a side of hash browns (mashed spuds with onions fried on a flat grill)
This place has to be the best bang for your buck in the city.

The atmosphere is very jovial, the food is really good. The price again is fantastic & once more, I really enjoyed the coffee.

If there was anything to complain about it was the stools or a little hard to sit on, but because the food tastes so good & you eat so fast you're out of there so quickly you don't even notice.

I'll definitely recommend my friends & family to come here again.

The famous Cosmo's, been around longer than I have. The decor could use some help but the ambiance & food is still very good & better priced than most of the other breakfast places! The cook was pleasant to talk with & made the breakfast very enjoyable. Dinner seating only.

This reminds of what Montreal is all about. Cozy, great vibes. Breakfast prices are like the good old days. You feel at home here. I really enjoyed my breakfast with the sunnyside up eggs in the bagel.
