    Super cute artsy restaurant with great food and service. Our server was very attentive and accommodating. The fruit was really fresh and my omelette was delicious. I could tell the ingredients they used were non processed. Great location too. Dog friendly. Will definitely be back.

    We visited this restaurant several times during our stay at the DoubleTree. The food was great each time and the service was warm and friendly. The patio is a perfect spot to enjoy the atmosphere. They even lowered the shades when it was about to rain. I can't wait to come back.

    Eggs Benedict Very good Hubby was hungry and dug right in before photo

    Good food, great big portions. The decaf cappuccino was bitter but the server replaced it with regular coffee at my request. The crepe was so good and so plentiful. Eggs Benedict was very good. Nice place close to our hotel. Adequate seating Would recommend it to anyone

    Nutella Latte

    Great breakfast. I came with a couple of friends and we each tried something different. I got the French Toast with the Flambé fruit, one friend got the bacon and pear waffle and the other got the Nashville hot chicken sandwich. Everything was extremely tasty. To drink I got the Nutella Latte and my friend got the Maple Latte. I would definitely come back again.

    For a place with the word "egg" in the name I probably should have expected the smell of egg to smack you the second you walked in the door. So if that doesn't bother you, youll like this place! The menu mentions a juice bar, we all ordered one, but turns out they were smoothies. They were delicious but more filling than we were wanting. Service was slow - super friendly, but slow. My meal came out a good 10 minutes after everyone else's. But the breakfast poutine was very yummy!

    Eggspectation omelette

    Eggspectation omelette is very tasty! Service staff is attentive and friendly! Location is perfect, next to our hotel and the performing arts center. Price is reasonable.

    Mango Razz drink, Eggs, Sausage, Bacon -- so good. the eggs were scrambled just the way I like!
    Sangeetha S.

    eggs were scrambled just the way I like. a little firm and slightly bitty. drink had a tang to it, not quite a smoothie but not as thin as a juice. overall one of the best meals in Montreal that I had!

    The food here was so good! I had a huge breakfast which filled me up for the whole day. My husband had the ricotta and orange pancakes which he said were really good. Warning - the kids pancakes have ricotta and orange zest in them. Huh? It would be nice if the server had mentioned this. As a result, my son didn't eat them. Pancakes are one of his safe foods (he barely eats). The restaurant kindly took them off the bill, but it would have been nice to know in advance. We were visiting from Massachusetts while on vacation. Not sure when we'll return to MTL. I do recommend it though!

    Eggspectation really wasn't anything more than a diner. We stopped by for a quick breakfast. The menu states that the eggs Benedict would be their speciality. However I've had better. The eggs Benedict came with very stale and hard potatoes and a slice of watermelon and pineapple. Overall if this wasn't a quick breakfast I would've opted out.

    Breakfast was yummy! Large portions! Coffee was served hot! Great service! Street parking!

    Great, fun breakfast place. Lots of families and business people grabbing a friendly meal. Lots of interesting options. We went with a duck confit eggs Benedict on croissant with mushrooms and truffle sauce, and a vegetable omelette. Loved the bene-duck, a good balance of truffle without being overpowering. The smoothies were also refreshing. The servers were very busy so we had to flag them down to get anything but aside from that it was a pleasant experience.

    Brianna C.

    Excellent dining experience, we were greeted with a warm welcome and friendly attitude. We were seated promptly after walking in and orders were taken within minutes of looking over the menu. Our waiter was attentive and helpful with the menu. Food presentation was appealing and taste to match it. This restaurant was bright and ambiance offered a tasty brunch during our visit to Montreal.

But before even checking in, we had to walk through Bar George ~ and instantly knew we wanted to eat there. We were lucky enough to grab a last-minute reservation, and Julien took a good care of us throughout the evening. His recommendation of the Beef Wellington was spot on (it's already one of our favorite dishes), but this was hands down the best we've ever had. I ordered the lobster risotto, which was excellent with just the right amount of spice. My son had the 10 oz striploin steak with homemade fries (chips), and it was absolutely delicious. I also loved the Canadian touch of coarse salt on the steak, plus the option to choose between Béarnaise or peppercorn sauce. Julien also mentioned their pastry chef placed second in a NY competition, and the desserts absolutely lived up to that reputation. We tried the pineapple and coconut pavlova and the "lick me hazelnut" ~ both beautifully presented and incredibly delicious. We also ordered iced coffee and a latte, and noticed something interesting: this was the second place where we found Canadian coffee to be smooth and mild ~ such a nice change from the often bitter, over-roasted American coffee. Yes, dinner was a bit steep ($300+), but it was worth every penny. Between the rich history, stunning design, outstanding service, and unique cuisine, I would highly recommend Bar George. I would absolutely love to come back!!

Service was excellent. It was very busy when we arrived, but we were told it would only be a 10 minute wait. We sat outside on a bench, and waited to be called. I admired the ambiance as we were shown to our table. It was full, and noisy, but so much that we couldn't talk to each other. Bonus points for whoever designed the sound system that played 80s music during our visit. Enough speakers to fill the room with sound, and the system didn't need to played loud to be enjoyed. Coffee was superb. Just the right strength, with lovely notes of chocolate. I had the chicken melt, which was incredible. Real chicken pieces, sauce with a touch of heat, and toppings with just the right amount of savoury. Her panini was equally good. The star of the meal was the french roast. Heated all the way through, with the right balance of fruit, cheese, and syrop.

I stayed there recently, and on the morning of my check-out I received a phone call with devastating news about a life-threatening medical emergency in my immediate family. I was on the phone trying to resolve the problem with Emergency Room doctors and lost track of the time. When I received a call from the hotel management to inform me that I had overstayed my time in the room, I raced at lightening speed to clear out of the room. Minutes later, I cleared out of the room, which I left immaculate and ready to be sold to another guest. I departed the room well before the 4pm check-in time for new guests; I checked out just 2 hours late (literally it was 2 hours). They nonetheless slapped me with a $60 fine for this very small, very human error. It was one of the worst days of my life, I was in tears and begged them not to charge me. I am also disabled and they not only refused to remove the $60 fine, they also did not help me with my bags when my taxi came, they let me limp and drag my own luggage to the curb. I am beyond shocked at this cruelty and greed, at this utter lack of compassion and inability to relate to a fellow human being as anything other than a cash cow. I will never forget being treated this way when I was in distress. Also the breakfast is terrible and overpriced; the coffee was cold, the fruit was flavorless and dried out, there were few fresh and healthy choices, mostly ultra processed yoghurt and cereals, commercialized white bread. All for $25, way too much in a city with such incredible food. I do not enjoy giving negative reviews, and I tried to resolve this both in person and on the phone subsequently and was met with cold indifference at every turn.

The servers were bilingual in French and English, and they were kind, attentive, and made the whole experience smooth from start to finish. My goal was to eat as much foe grais as I can on this trip so I ordered the Foie Gras Poached Eggs. OMG starting off with the bread that was on the bottom, it was so soft and fluffy. Literally melted in my mouth. The foie gras had a beautiful sear and was rich and silky, with a texture that honestly reminded me of ice cream. There was also a touch of sweetness in the sauce that cut through the richness in the best way. Every bite was perfectly balanced. I was super impressed and will absolutely try to visit again the next time I'm in Montreal.
