Located in the heart of Downtown Montreal, near Place des Festivals, near Place-des-Arts metro station, it is a great spot for breakfast to get your day started off on the right track. Sit, relax, and enjoy your meal in our large dining area, or take any of our delicious choices on the go. Universel Ste-Catherine is also an excellent downtown hot spot for dinner all days and nights of the year. Its modern décor of glass and leather welcomes you in its large dining room. Come and enjoy a great meal before or after work, shopping or a night out. Universel is ready to satisfy its customers' appetites anytime of the day. Also enjoy Happy Hour Monday to Friday from 4pm-7pm. Experience the downtown scene either indoors or outdoors on our large terrace. Its extensive wine list cements this restaurant's wish to maintain its high standards, and its list of beers on tap reveals an establishment that takes pride in what Quebec has to offer. Despite its obvious appeal to the young adult crowd, Universel Déjeuners et Grillades also has a children's menu available for both its breakfast/lunch and dinner sets. Add in some impressive breakfast platters and the house specialty "Déjeuner Universel", and it's clear that this restaurant easily juggles its dual personality as a family-friendly establishment and a chic eatery.

Our first visit to this location. We have eaten at the Peel Street location before. They both are a pleasant place for breakfast. A wide range of food options. I would recommend going.

Faire attention, les prix chargés sur la facture sont parfois plus élevés que les prix sur les menus.

I recently visited Universel Déjeuners & Grillades, & while the service was excellent, the food itself was just okay. The staff was friendly & attentive, making sure we had everything we needed, & the ambiance was modern & inviting. The decor, with its stylish lighting & spacious seating, definitely adds to the experience. As for the food, it was decent but nothing special. The burger & sandwich were well-presented, & the portions were generous, but the flavors didn’t stand out. The fries were a bit overcooked, & the Caesar salad was fairly standard. It’s a nice spot for a casual meal, but if you’re looking for something extraordinary, this might not be the place. Would I come back? Maybe, but mainly for the atmosphere & service rather than the food.

Absolutely amazing service. They were so nice. Good was so so so good. Didn't feel pressured etc. A lot of menu variety. Waiters were so kind & attentive & make you feel welcome. Amazing prices as well for the quality of the food. only thing I'd suggest is they change the music on the restaurant…. Some music was inappropriate to be honest (the lyrics). They put too much "tiktok" & "trendy" songs making the restaurant look cheap (just my opinion). They could go for cozy music, piano, jazz, just a softer calmer vibe instead of POP & rap etc. Maybe they do it for a dynamic vibe ? I don't know but anyway I'd 100% recommend this especially that some things are halal !
