This is close to our hotel so we checked it out & we were very happy we did. We had good-sized portions for our breakfast. The servers were amazing. We each had the ultimate breakfast meal while my wife had it with French toast, my son had it with a crepe, & I got the waffle with it. I recommend this spot for anyone.
We visited Canada for a month, visiting Montreal, Ottawa, & Quebec City frequently going out for breakfast during our travels. Universel Dèjeuners & Grillades was our favorite during our travels for large, very reasonable, & delicious breakfasts. I love the option of the two egg breakfast with crêpes, toast, potatoes, & coffee. All of the weight staff we encountered were very pleasant & attentive. They offer indoor & covered outdoor seating. The only issue we encountered was the music too loud for us at times.
My family & I had a pleasant experience at this restaurant We stumbled on this place while looking for a breakfast joint on Rue Cathrine before a campus tour. We were warmly greeted upon entry. Our server was excellent. I've never had someone ask'which language would you prefer to communicate with?' That's memorable service which warranted a huge tip at the end of our meal.
Anyway, the breakfast portions weren't huge, but just right. I ordered a western sandwich on croissant (excellent). My daughter ordered a croissant sandwich with egg, sausage & Swiss cheese (also excellent). My youngest daughter ordered plain crepes. When I tasted hers, I ordered my own single crepe as well. It was one of the best crepes I've tasted outside of what is made at home, or what Cora's serves.
I was most impressed by the bottle of maple syrup , free of charge, brought to the table to enjoy with crepes , French toast or waffles. The maple syrup was so good, i was considering sneaking the bottle into my daughter's purse (I didn't!)
We were greeted warmly by three people on the way out as well. Once again, excellent, tip-worthy service
This location is next to a hotel & has an upscale ambiance. There is also a covered terrace in front just off the street. We ordered the banana strawberry Nutella toast & the combo eggs & waffle with extra toast. The coffee was additional. The waffle has syrup for the table included. The texture of the waffle was just a bit harder than I like but still okay. The french toast & potatoes were great. The portion sizes are quite generous. There is plenty of seating for one person up to medium-sized groups. The menu has vegetarian options for brunch & dinner.
We went there Easter Sunday for breakfast & the service was horrible. The attitude of the staff is very unprofessional. We had to ask for everything instead they suppose to provide us by default. Example with egg breakfast combo with potatoes & toast. You suppose to have SALT PEPPER KETCHUP & JAM. But no they didn't even bother. I had to ask them. The pancakes for the kids were very hard & the chocolate milk portion was very very small... my kids didn't eat their pancakes. I had to ask for the coffee refill all the time. The waiter wasn't present . I had to look for him in order to ask for anything to be served.. The best thing in the end he comes with the bill woth TIPS included. I ask him why the tip is included, he said I have no choice to pay for it & it's a law. I have to give him 15% tip. My food order was 146$ & his tip was 22$ which equals to 168$. I told him I'll never give you a rip for bad service. He was insisting that I had no choice. So I ask for the manager & the manager is telling me the same thing. Also he start giving me excuses about the service. **he quote oh sir this us our fitmrst day for the terasse *** i replied since when this is a customer problem ...also I told him your service was bad & you still oblige me to pay him tip . He said sir. You have no choice, when I was discussing with him . One of his waiter had an audacity to interfere in the matter. I don't think the person was acting as a manager was actually a manager. I never had such an unprofessional behavior & 3rd class service. Honestly the food was good & expensive. I end up giving the waiter 15$ tip because I know they have to declare 7% tips of the total sales. I will not recommend anyone to go eat at that place. I really had a bad experience & ill highly recommend to stay away ....
I went there alone. I ordered French toast with strawberries, bananas, & chocolat for breakfast. Only sweetness. The waiter never asked how the food was or tried to refill water. I saw the waiter asking each table but me. Probably because I am Asia. It was not confortable experience to déjouner there if you are not white.
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.
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 👍
Have already been twice & absolutely loved it. I got the Vegetarian Omelet I believe & was very satisfied. The portion was perfect & I loved the fruit on the side. The one thing I will say is that if you order a breakfast combo, it comes with quiet a lot of bread on the side even if French toast is your main. Overall great atmosphere with pretty porch seating as well. Will definitely be going again.
