I got breakfast takeout one morning -- I ordered the omelette 10 etages. It was fine, but nothing great. (10 star omelette description from online menu: Bacon, ham, sausages, frankfurters, bologna, spinach, green onions, tomatoes, onions, red and green peppers, mushrooms and Cheddar cheese. Served with toast, potatoes and your choice of fresh fruit or tomatoes.). Based on my experience, I have no desire to return. There is tastier food for less money in the area. read more

Cora is an amazing place for breakfast or brunch. It is a chain but the food is still wonderful and this location is right downtown inside the Best Western Europa Hotel. The decor is quite basic and the service is fast and good. We had a latte and a green smoothie to drink and a Smoked Meat Waffle and Smoked Salmon Benedict to eat. The prices are very low as well for such amazing food and the portions are large. read more

The food here is very good. And so is the coffee. But last time I was there the knife on the table had dried food on it and a packet of sugar had egg yolk all over it. There was a small curly hair on my plate. I hope it wasn't a pube. Also the fruit arrangement was not good. Looked like a 5 year old did it. I didn't get a choice of fruit or veggies. I'm going to try a cleaner place next time. I'm glad I brought my own bottled spring water. read more

This was my kids' most favorite breakfast restaurant when we were in Montreal. They came there every single day for their breakfast. The food was good and this is a huge place so there wasn't typically a line except for the weekend read more

My husband, myself, and our 2 friends were itching to find a brunch spot nearby. We ended up agreeing to Cora! It was a little tricky to find since it's actually inside of a hotel. You must walk into the entrance of the hotel, walk down a couple of steps and the entrance is to the left. They were really quick to seat us around 1030/11am during the Canada Day celebration! All of our breakfast orders came in a timely manner and were quite tasty. If our own hotel didn't offer a free continental breakfast, I would've eaten here everyday. The service was fairly quick and the walls are mostly a yellow color with fruits painted on the walls that allow for a more warm, cheerful environment. You really can't go wrong with any item on the menu. They serve various dishes that range from variations of crepes, sandwiches, regular breakfast items, etc. Definitely worth a try for a nice, casual brunch. read more

Cora - a wooden table with plates of food on it - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

This is sort of a diner that's showing a touch of age. Pros: extensive menu, clean, good service Cons: the food is lousy Our conclusion is there's no reason to dine there. We actually spent less the next 2 days at the Four Seasons for a superb breakfast, superb service, spotless and just plain nice. Again, no reason to go to Cora's. read more

The food was good. Service was good. No complaints. Omelette was made according to the way I requested it. Thank You

We always come back to Cora for breakfast when we visit Montréal. Fresh fruit, great entrees and friendly service.

Sooo, a server at another establishment recommended Chez Cora. She said the crepes were the thing. On our last morning in Montreal, we went to check it out. My brother thought it kinda looked like an ihop but that's just to say it had more of a corporate than smaller look and vibe. Food: Chocolate chip pancakes were good. I asked for 3 just by themselves. Hit the spot. My mom said the French Toast was good. Nice cinnamon flavor. Good crepes And huge kids' portions on the children's menu. My orange juice was pretty good. The staff was nice and accommodating. The door is odd. You need to enter building to Best Western to get to restaurant door. Final Words: Solid 4. read more

One of the best servers I've ever seen. The meal was mostly forgettable (although the fruit bowls were perfect), but the server was amazing. This gentleman paid attention to the fact that my friend and I were speaking English, but my friend spoke to him in French. He gave my friend a French menu and me an English one without even asking. It made me feel appreciated. read more

Huge portions, and super friendly staff. Staff was super attentive and came by multiple times to refill our coffee/teas. Service was quick and efficient. Had the crepes (Sarazin Surprise) which had three sausages rolled in crepes with cheese with a mountain of fruit on the side. Fruit was fresh too. Partner had the crepes with ham. Food came out quickly which made this perfect for our purposes. Had all the covid protocols and an abundance of hand sanitizer. Awesome experience! read more

We didnt know it was inside a hotel. It was really nice that almost all breakfast dishes come with a fruit salad and they were variety of fruits. The harvest 90 was good, the french toast was a bit heavy. The gigi was very light and delicious. read more

After over half an hour, we haven't gotten our food. The table is also dirty, and our server is nowhere to be seen. This is outrageous.

Noticed that the Cora was attached to the Best Western that I was staying and decided to go there for breakfast this morning. Came in, the waitress was cheerful and asked us if we preferred French or English. My sister replied French for her, English for me. We were then quickly seated and asked what we would like to drink. For me definitely coffee. I ordered the ham & Swiss savoury crepe while my sister ordered the original crepe (crepe nature) w/sausage along with a side of maple syrup. Both dishes came with one strawberry, a slice of cantaloupe and a slice of pineapple. My crepe had about three slices of ham and promptly covered in melted Swiss cheese, folded in half then two slice of Swiss cheese melted on top. I ate about half of it without maple syrup just to get the taste then added the syrup... definitely eat with the syrup lol. We were in a bit of a rush so we scarfed down so fast and quickly pay and left. Overall good experience. read more

This is a great breakfast joint. The mountain of fruit is no joke, and the meal comes with coffee! It was pretty busy when we went in, but we didn't need to wait too long to be seated and order. I ordered the Recolte 90 (and substituted the bacon with ham and selected scrambled eggs). The cinnamon raisin brioche french toast was very light and fluffy. I didn't add any syrup and found the flavoring perfectly adequate. Very happy with the mountain of fruit. It was super fresh, and it was not drowning in syrup like you'd find in many other breakfast joints. I wished there was more egg though. Besides that, my breakfast was perfect. I also ordered orange juice, and that was good. My partner ordered a small Sarraisn Surprise. I didn't really care for it. The crepe wasn't very appetizing to me, and the sausage inside was okay. She struggled to finish her meal because she thought there was too much fruit (which I happened to love because I finished her fruit). In other words, if you're looking for a heavy American breakfast, this may not be the place to go. But if you want a lighter breakfast to get you going for the day it's excellent. read more

This is a great spot for breakfast in Montreal. It's not too far off the main street (St. Catherine's), and the place is huge! There's a big sign out front, but you might walk right past the entrance like we did, as it's attached to the Best Western hotel. The breakfast menu is ginormous with tons of options -- several yogurt & granola dishes, eggs, omelettes, crepes, waffles, pancakes, bagels, and even a gluten-free. I had my eye on the omelette section, but being in Montreal (with so may French influences), I wanted to try the crepes. Lucky for me, they created a dish here that combines both into a Crepomolette! It was delicious, with eggs, spinach, Swiss cheese and Hollandaise sauce. It comes with a side dish of fresh fruit, which they carve into beautiful little works of art. There's nothing fancy about this place, in fact it looks almost like a fancy Denny's. But the service was excellent, and the prices are very reasonable (especially with the favorable US exchange rate!), and the food was delicious. I will certainly come back the next time I'm in Montreal. read more

3.5 stars! Easily my favorite brunch place in Montreal. It was next door to me when I was staying at the Sheraton for conference. The breakfast is fresh and delicious, and you get quite a lot of food for the price. (Especially compared to the $19.99+ breakfast price tag at Sheraton) Since I'm a fruit fanatic, I love the food combination at Cora with huge sides of fruits. The food is decent, we ordered cinnamon bun and bacon topped with a lot of fruits as well as egg/sausage/bacon with hash browns. The atmosphere is quite relaxing, a great place for friends to social in the morning. Nothing exquisite, just simple delicious relaxing food. read more

Really need an ability to rate in between the whole numbers - this was 4.5 star experience. Just looking at the reviews below, I can't comment on the service (we had no issues with ours, may be except a tad longer wait for the check to arrive), but when they say it is "just ok" food or "just ok" breakfast, I'm really curious what they consider "good" food.... Food was impeccable, fresh, lots (did I say lots) of fresh fruit with every dish. I never had better Eggs Benedict - hollandaise sauce was just perfectly balanced and whole execution of the dish was outstanding. Western omelette was also very good. Definitely recommended place for breakfast, especially if you are traveling with kids. read more

I go there on each visit in Montréal for years. Their breakfast are top! Good quantities and good quality as well. The staff is always very nice and accommodating. I usually take their egg benedicts with Swiss asparagus (not sure they really come from Switzerland..lol) and I am ne we disappointed. They come with potatoes and a lot of fresh fruits read more

Great food, great place. My advice for penny-pinchers: get there before 8 AM. There's an early bird menu.

I had to be out of my apartment today due to something being renovated and yes its the coronavirus chaos and nothing was opened except for Coras! It was clean like so clean & there was a sanitizer station right when you walked in. The food was great and my server was great as always but i was just so impressed of how clean and tidy it was, for a second it made me forget about the virus that was going on because it was that CLEAN!!! If for some reason you need to get out of your apartment (which you shouldnt unless you have to) this is the place to go to! read more

It's been several years since I've stopped by Chez Cora and the memory that stands out most vividly are the fake chickens used to decorate the place, starring at you with their little beady eyes as you consume huge platters of eggs, bacon, and fresh fruit salads. This place was recommended by the hotel concierge. Yes, I was a tourist. read more

Oh. My. God. This place is breakfast heaven. I cannot believe I didn't know this place existed before this visit to Montreal. Each plate is a fruit masterpiece. If you hate fruit-- it would be best to request none on your plate because your dish will be loaded with them! Amazing! I had a bagel with smoked salmon, capers, onions, cream cheese and tomatoes. I was really only expecting the bagel with the toppings and was pleasantly surprised when I received an enormous side of fresh fruit! This is right next to a Best Western and the Marriott is just about two blocks away. Easy walking. I love breakfast and this place totally made my day. :o) read more

Cora - Bagel with Smoked Salmon, Cream Cheese. Look at the fruit! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

I went to Chez Cora last weekend with my husband, it was a planned brunch and I hate to admit I was as excited as a 12 year old being introduced to Candy Crush. This place is a sacred old gem, extremely reasonable, generous portions and the most appealing fruit bowl. There were way too many choices, I spent a good 15mins just going back and forth between omelettes/ waffles or pancakes. The food was brought to us in no time, the staff were quick and friendly. Though this place looks a bit run down, the bottomless cup of coffee makes up for everything. The omelettes were delicious, I became the biggest fan of their hollandaise sauce and I enjoyed every bit of it. I highly recommend this place to everyone looking for a scrumptious breakfast that is worth every cent. read more

I am so happy that "poutine déjeuner" exists. This is what breakfast aspires to be, so all other breakfasts should really stop trying, because we've found the platonic ideal. Breakfast potatoes with bell peppers, sausages and bacon pieces, poutine cheese, hollandaise sauce, topped with an egg - I mean, every bite is heaven. read more

Cora - Poutine déjeuner - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

Service was great and there is a big selection of food. There was no wait on a weekday late morning. Based on others reviews I wanted some sort of eggs Benedict. They had about 4 to choose from and I settled on the smoked salmon Benedict. A few things I love about this place: 1) you can choose 1, 2 or 3 eggs! Depending on how hungry you are, you get to choose the size! 2) the plate came with a wide variety of fruit! Apple, Orange, pineapple, kiwi, banana, a strawberry, and cantaloupe. Keep this in mind when you pick how many eggs. 3) there's milk at the table for your coffee. In the US, that rarely is the case. 4) side of potatoes is also good. 5) again, great service and quick turnaround. I might come here everyday for breakfast while I am in town. read more

Food was amazing but server was VERRY passive aggressive. When we were done paying he went out of his way to ring us out and tell us that we needed to tip him, which great we would've done anyway but was rude about it. read more

This is probably one of my favourite places I've been to have breakfast. The portions are large but not too much, seasoned perfectly and the waiters/waitresses are very kind. We were able to get a table right away and was helped out with ordering drinks and such. I'll definitely come back again the next time I go to Montreal. read more

Chez Cora is the kind of place you go when you want quantity not quality. They certainly give you large portions that will fill you up but the food is just average. They have a pretty wide selection of dishes but none of them really stand out. Usually I get La Recolte 90 which is a cinnamon brioche served up with bacon, an egg and a ton of fresh fruit. I do enjoy the large portion of fruit but everything else seems just okay. The bacon is never very crispy and the brioche is only so so. I've also never been a fan of their pancakes. They're never very fluffy and are on the bland side. The same goes for their potatoes which could also do with some seasoning. The prices aren't very good either especially in Montreal where there are many other brunch places that serve up better food for lower prices. Service is also sometimes on the slow side which can be frustrating. Getting things like water and coffee refills can take time which is kind of annoying. read more

I never like franchised places because standards are very commercialized. I had a waffle with strawberries, and waffles were nothing special, a bit chewy if I must say. I think I can make better ones at home. Food wise it's a nay, but I love the cute and fun decor and the atmosphere. Staff is very friendly and wise and they have clean washrooms. I'm torn to rate this based on food or environment+ service, but I'm there to eat, so i'll put a 2.5-3/5. If you're not picky like me on the quality of waffles and just want food, this is the place to go. Large portions and plenty of fruit options. read more

There's better breakfast food choices in the area...much better ones. Chez Cora was recommended to me by a friend, who claimed it was cheap and it was delicious. Me and a friend went here on Friday morning. There was a line that reached out their door, but the line went quickly. I took this as a good sign...but I shouldn't have. Chez Cora is huge, with many many tables inside and stressed staff trying to keep up. The waiters zoom past you nearly at a jog, and it's extremely difficult to get someone's attention. I ordered 3 eggs over easy, 3 strips of bacon, 2 sausages, a mound of apple-cut potatoes, and some fresh fruit of pineapple, cantaloupe, and strawberry. The eggs were cooked perfectly, the bacon was alright...not soggy, so that's good. But strangely tasteless? I'm not sure how that happens. The sausages were the worst - extremely tasteless, I couldn't tell if it was a chicken or a pork sausage, or a combination. It just tasted like bland fat. The potates were also rather tasteless; I think they were simply boiled, sliced, and that's it. I see that some people are raving about having fresh fruit....but in Montreal, this is not uncommon at all. You'd expect it as much as you'd expect a hotel to have a toilet or a bed. There's nothing special about it. Oh, also the waiter forgot to give us our coffee, which is supposed to be part of the breakfast set we ordered. It was hard to flag down our waiter - or any waiter - because he was constantly rushing around to deal with other people. This isn't his fault per se...they just don't have enough staff to cover such a big area. Even though there were many empty tables in our section...the waiter could traverse one entire row and not see my hand up at all, because there's so much space. We already had the single-serve packets of cream from when they first delivered our breakfast food, but they never gave us a cup of coffee to dump it in to. Finally, we flagged the waiter down. "Isn't this breakfast supposed to come with coffee?" Waiter replied, "Yes." Long, silent pause transpired between us. "Can we have our coffee?" Waiter replied, "Yes." Then disappeared. He returned with coffee that, sadly, was not worth the effort to get. It was weak, but at the same time I didn't want it to be any stronger because it also tasted awfully burnt. The price is not drastically cheaper, so I would not go here again. There's far better breakfast places a stone throw away; their lower price does not justify the bland tastes and bad service. Why make yourself suffer over $2? read more

Chez Cora is a homey place that I miss coming to, as the Kingston, ON location closed some time ago. Being in Montreal begs for something more chic, but to heck with that - we went to Cora's! Wait time was about 15 minutes around 10:30am on a Saturday. The line is long, but the staff certainly are efficient. I can't complain about service time once seated, either; things were speedy and efficient. The coffee is bottomless, the choices are comforting, and the staff are very friendly. If you don't mind a really busy atmosphere, it's not a bad breakfast pick. read more

Breakfast and brunch place that is huge, reminded me of a ihop. Got the crepe dejeuner platter which came with crepes with cheese, 2 sunnyside eggs, 2 sausage and 2 bacon slices and a side of fruits. It was pretty good. I really liked the mocha café and the coffee. Good portion size, good service. I'd come back again. Also tried the breakfast burrito and it was good. read more

Came here for breakfast one day. We had to wait a bit, as it seems to be quite a popular place. We got seated and menus were given to us. The waiter was nice and eager to serve. As my super-healthy eating friends perused the menu, I suddenly heard them cry out in horror and disgust at something in the menu. I felt this was a cry for the item I wanted to eat. After they settled down, they revealed it to me. It was called an e'tage 10, and it had just about every form of pig one could ask for on a plate. This thing had hot dog, bacon, ham, bologna, sausage, Cheese, vegetables and the kitchen sink was tossed in for good measure. My friends ordered various healthy things, and it all arrived shortly after we ordered it. The food was very very well presented. Fruit was arranged as beautiful flowers, placed atop sundae-dishes filled with yogurt parfait. My omelet was massive, and delicious. Meat extravaganza danced in my mouth. Meat mixed with eggs and vegetables and was washed down with hot coffee. It was an amazing meal. The food was great, the service was great, and the place was clean. Whenever I find my way back to Montreal, I'll certainly come back here. read more
