Across reviews, The Famous Cosmos emerges as a beloved NDG breakfast spot with counter seating and an open kitchen where sizzling sounds accompany hearty dishes. The experience is described as friendly, casual and nostalgic, with a small town vibe that invites conversation at the counter. Menu highlights repeatedly praised include the Mish Mash, standout breakfast sandwiches, burgers, crispy potatoes, and top notch coffee, all delivered at very good value. While seating is limited and stools can be tight, the overall quality, warm hospitality, and low key charm keep customers returning and the place is regarded as a Montreal staple that draws people from far and wide.
My friend Billy Terzakis just brought me the best burger I have ever had. It had fried onions on the very thick juicy burger with a fresh bun. No place in NDG even comes close to this as far as quality & taste. *bows in respect*
Huge thanks to T. & Hellme for the amazing service & warm atmosphere. The burger was absolutely out of this world; you can genuinely tell it was made with love, care, & attention to every detail.
--> I had the breakfast burger (with an egg)
Even though it looks massive & imposing, it was still perfectly juicy, balanced, & incredibly satisfying from the first bite to the last. The quality of the ingredients really shines through. One of those meals you keep thinking about afterward. Can't wait to come back. 🍔👏

The atmosphere food & value are all great. I do wish there was a scaled back option for those that have some love for their arteries. Some fruit, maybe a little less grease? It truly delivers a great taste but then amount of hasard of consuming so much grease makes this a once every 6 months experience, unless you are on a mission for cardiac arrest
went on friday with my friend & her dad & we were served by Elmy & Tony the atmosphere was genuinely so fire conversations so interesting & food so good & generous, will def be back

J'ai mangé le meilleur gros hamburger du Québec chez The Famous Cosmo's ! Le chef Toni a vraiment un talent exceptionnel - la viande était juteuse, parfaitement cuite, & les saveurs étaient juste parfaites. L'ambiance est super sympa & le service au top. Je recommande sans hésiter, j'y retournerai c'est sûr ! 🍔
One of the unique breakfast spots my boyfriend took me to in NDG! What sets it apart is the interactive experience; we sat around the counter & heard the chef cook up a storm right in front of us. The sizzling sounds were amazing! The food was delicious, & I loved the bacon! Crispy perfection! I highly recommend this restaurant!

I was in Montreal back in November for a Paul McCartney concert, & a good friend of mine back home (who is Montreal-born & raised) told me that I should absolutely have breakfast here at some point during my week-long visit. He had recommended having the Mish Mash, so that's what I ordered.... It was so good! 🥰
The coffee I also had was top notch, & chatting with the staff & the others seated at the counter gave Cosmos a kind of small-town blast from the past feeling & ambiance.
I will definitely return here whenever I visit Montreal again! 🙂
The food & service were impeccable. I was a little unsure when walking in, but my friend assured me it was worth sitting on bar stools & it definitely was
If Anthony is cooking you cannot go wrong, he makes incredible burgers, his potatoes always hit, he has not missed once. I love this place, it's an NDG gem!!
