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.

Mon expérience est impeccable à chaque fois que je viens déjeuner ici. C'est vraiment mon restaurant préféré pour déjeuner. C'est vraiment jolie comme restaurant, & les portions sont très bonnes pour le prix. Les travailleurs sont extrêmement gentils. Ils ont aussi beaucoup de variété de plats. Je prends toujours le déjeuner universals avec toutes les viandes. Je n'ai jamais essayer leur lunch menu items, mais je suis sûr que c'est autant délicieux:)

I tried egg Benedict & it was so good, maybe a little too juicy. Fruits were so fresh & delicious.

When we visit Montréal, this is where we go for breakfast. Kids enjoy it & so do we because of the many options available. They have so much to choose from. Food is always great, as well as the service & we never really have to wait. We'll be back next time we're in Montréal!

Des choix pour tous les goûts sur le menu. Nourriture excellente; nous avons choisi des plats différents & tous avons aimé nos mets. Service très courtois & attentionné. Cependant le restaurant est un peu bruyant & le café ne goûte pas grand-chose.
