Universel Déjeuners et Grillades Montreal Restaurant: Menu, Reviews & Reserve (2026)
InternationalGrillBreakfastBurgersPastaGrilled CheeseBrunchResto-Bar
Located in the heart of downtown Montreal, this restaurant takes the classic diner and gives it a hip makeover. A modern stainless steel decor provides the perfect setting for a casual lunch or night out. From pizza to pasta, from traditional omelettes to upscale veal dishes, and from simply brochettes to an intimidating array of triple decker sandwiches, Universel Déjeuners et Grillades has something to suit any taste. An extensive wine list cements this resto's reputation as an up and coming nightspot, but the 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 diner juggles its dual personality as a family friendly establishment and a chic eatery with ease.

Bon brunch au centre-ville de Montréal. J'ai pris les oeufs bénédictine au smoked meat : très savoureux, avec des pommes de terre délicieuses. Une bonne expérience dans l'ensemble.

J'y suis allé pour un brunch. J'ai commandé les oeufs bénédictes au saumon & fromage de chèvre, sauce hollandaise. La cuisine était très bonne, le service également & l'ambiance tout à fait standard, rien de particulier. Le jus d'orange frais pressé était également très bon. Comptez autour de 30$ par personne avec taxes. Je recommande si vous êtes au centre & que vous souhaitez prendre un brunch rapide & efficace.

Lo Ely to spend a few hours In Montreal working the laptop on the steps at the Bell Tower. Stopped in for a great brunch. Eggs Benedict traditionally prepared, crispy home fries & personable service from our waiter. I'll be back again Montreal.

1/2 Benedict classic: you get 1 eggs benedicts with 1 half wafdle eith fruits & nutella. The eggs benedict was enjoyable & the waffle is huge. However, the waffle although it looked crispy on the outside was quite chewy & arduous to cut. Stilla tasted fine. The potatoes are subpar. Too big in my opinion, no seasonning on mine & not any bit crispy. The egg & sausage platter was not out of the ordinary but it was good, just like any classics. The toast were on the burn side, which I don't like. Overall the service was great & very efficient. I didn't try any other dishes, but the people I came with were quite satisfied with theirs. Each portion comes with not quite ripe fruits but it depends on the season, I get that. You well full at the end of your meal & it's not too expensive.

Haven't been in maybe 8 years. But still comforting good food. Cheerful ambiance, & all day breakfast. Only thing is that i find they gave less hollandaise sauce then they used too. But the universal eggs benedict & the billy the goat were amazing.
