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.

Loved this place !! Was craving breakfast food in the last afternoon & stumbled across this place on google , & I had never heard of it. We got there at around 3:15 pm & they were maybe two other occupied booths. The service was great & fast! The food was very good & very filling, which is exactly what I wanted. Would definitely recommend

We stayed at a nearby hotel & highly recommended having breakfast here. The breakfast here is far better than the hotel's, & we will come here every day during our stay. Also very child friendly.

Our server was absolutely fantastic. I wish I could remember his name, he was bright & cheerful.
The food was great. The all day breakfast was delicious, & I kept going in for bites on my daughters crepe. It was really good too.
The price is reasonable for downtown Montreal. Highly recommend.

Great hearty breakfast. I highly recommend Universel Dejuener. They catered to my gluten & dairy free food allergies. I had poached eggs, avocado on gluten free toast. A bowl of low sugar fruit too. We enjoyed Almond milk lattes.
Great job by the waitress who served us Irina - thanks for listening to my needs 👍

This place is great! They have 2 for 1 martini nights on fridays & 2 for 1 on wine & beer between 5 to 7 for the remaining days of the week! I come often with my friends & family! I had a their Grilled Salmon House Salad which was recommended to me by my waiter who really made the experience great! He was nice enough to show my daughter directions & tips concerning her acceptance at Mcgill! He even went out of his way to draw her a map of the campus so she wouldn't get lost! Cool guy! Good restaurant! The food is nothing amazing, but it is tasty & not too expensive.
