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.

Super pour les petits déjeuners ! Que vous aimiez le salé ou le sucré, la carte est très variée .

Nous y avons également diné un soir, le repas était tout aussi bon & de qualité (fish & chips & tataki de thon). Produits « fait maison » & serveuses au petit soin.

Si vous êtes dans le coin, n'hésitez pas !

We always have breakfast here when we visit Montreal. Victoria/ Vicky is a kind & amazing waitress. We went there Saturday for breakfast & mentioned I was running in the marathon that weekend. Sunday morning as my husband & I were walking to the Metro Vicky honked her horn & wished us well. Monday we went back to Universal for breakfast & was so kind & happy that I finished. Her kindness meant the world to me that morning.

C'est un de mes endroits préférés en ville pour bruncher. Ils servent des déjeuners toute la semaine, même sur l'heure du midi. Le service est toujours rapide & courtois, parfait pour l'heure du lunch. & la nourriture est très bonne!

Déjeuner assez standard mais goûteux, bon service. Dans les prix habituels. Ça fait exactement ce que c'est sensé faire.

La poutine déjeuner était bien bonne.

The food was tasty & the price for it okay. The server noticed that I doesn't speak French The first time. He came back to bring me the bill & started again in French. He seemed a bit upset that I didn't understood him. I paid & then he was even more upset about the tip. Only 5 dollars!? It felt like a bit forced to tip him more so I had given him around 4 US dollars & then he smiled a bit. Location is good

We used the Happy Hour offer until 7pm with Pizzas for 15,- CAD & beer (0,3l) for 5,- CAD. We enjoyed great personal service & the Pizzas were very good. Lots of seating options inside & out.
It's 2 Blocks away from the Main shopping street - where they have a second Restaurant - & was undeservedly very empty on Labour Day.
Nothing to complain about.
