Situé au coeur du Centre-Ville de Montréal, ce restaurant est bien plus branché et original que les restaurants traditionnels. Avec son décor moderne d'acier inoxydable, l'ambiance y est parfaite pour une soirée ou un dîner décontractés. De la pizza aux pâtes en passant par les omelettes classiques, sans oublier les plats plus raffinés de veau, les brochettes et les imposants sandwichs à trois étages, Universel Déjeuners et Grillades a quelque chose pour tous les goûts. La carte des vins complète confirme la réputation de ce resto comme nouvelle destination de choix pour passer ses soirées, et la variété de bières pression québécoises démontre clairement que les propriétaires sont fiers de ce que les micros brasseurs d'ici ont à offrir. Même s'il est évident que ce resto attire une clientèle de jeunes adultes, Universel Déjeuners et Grillades a un menu pour enfants qui comprend déjeuners, dîners et soupers. Il y a également des déjeuners impressionnants, dont la spécialité maison, le «Déjeuner Universel». C'est donc le mélange parfait entre un établissement familial et un restaurant à la fois chic et tendance.
Universel Déjeuners et Grillades apparaît comme une adresse incontournable pour le petit-déjeuner et le brunch, avec des portions généreuses, un menu varié allant des œufs et gaufres aux crêpes et plats variés, et des prix raisonnables. Le service est salué pour son accueil attentif et chaleureux et l'ambiance est décrite comme moderne et chaleureuse avec une atmosphère vivante. Il est idéal pour les familles et les groupes avec des places à l'intérieur et en terrasse couverte. Bien que les avis soient majoritairement positifs sur la qualité et le rapport qualité-prix, certains signalent des retards occasionnels, une salle parfois bruyante et des remarques sur le système de pourboire ou le café. Dans l'ensemble, Universel Déjeuners et Grillades est une option fortement recommandée pour le petit-déjeuner et le brunch à Montréal.
When traveling, there is something special about discovering a place that feels authentically welcoming.

I've been a regular at Universel for many years. Its downtown location has always been very convenient, especially when going shopping. About two months ago, I had a great experience, & we were told they would be closing for renovations-so I was actually looking forward to coming back.
Today, we decided to return to see the changes & give it another try. Honestly, the place looked pretty much the same. Even the washroom still had the same broken handle-but that wasn't a big deal.
The biggest change was the menu. Prices have increased drastically, which I wouldn't mind if the quality matched. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case.
When our food arrived, it was very disappointing. The dishes were bland, & portions were noticeably smaller. My friend received about one & a half slices of bread, & the blueberry pancake previously enjoyed (which used to be full of blueberries) was now just a plain pancake with a few old, unappetizing blueberries thrown on top.
Then came the bill: $5.90 for two cups of watered-down coffee, & an extra $6 just to add a handful of blueberries to a pancake. That plate ended up costing $24.95 + $6 for maybe 10 blueberries that weren't even edible.
I'm more than willing to pay higher prices for good food, but this felt disrespectful. Sadly, I won't be returning.
Went for brunch on a Saturday with my family of 4. It was busy but still had seating immediately available. The portions were very generous & tasty. Very expensive menu, reminiscent of a diner, so there is something for everyone.
Who knew? A fantastic diner sitting right next door to the hotel, literally steps away. Universel Déjeuners & Grillades is absolutely on point.
The automatic wheelchair door wasn't working, but the large, flat roll-in glass doors made getting in manageable without too much trouble.
I went for the risotto de canard, & wow… rich, creamy, perfectly hot, & packed with flavor. Easily a standout dish.
Service was bilingual (French-English), efficient, fast, & genuinely friendly. The whole place has that relaxed European café feel that makes you want to linger just a little longer.
Absolutely fabulous breakfasts served up quickly. Benoit was a pleasure & served our bilingual table with care - a wonderful dining experience! Will be back next time we're in Montreal.
Had Janice as our waitress, she was hilarious, & gave us incredible service. Food was great portions were a bit big, but nothing a take out box can't fix!
