    Hot Chai
    Lena T.

    My partner, his friend and girlfriend and I came here for a little double-date brunch on a Monday around 10am, and it was such a good experience. I ordered the Monte Cristo and it was delicious--crispy on the outside, soft inside, and really satisfying without feeling too heavy. I also got a hot chai, and it ended up being one of my favorite parts of the meal. Perfectly spiced, warm, and comforting. The place had a relaxed vibe for a Monday morning, not too busy but still lively enough to feel cozy. Service was friendly and quick, and we never felt rushed. Definitely a spot I'd come back to for a slow, easy brunch!

    The "Mont" meat scramble and coffee
    Tom T.

    Nice place for an impromptu breakfast with my dog . Sat in the covered patio which was heated . My "Mont meat " scramble with roasted potatoes was great . Host always filled my coffee AND dog bowl with water . Get here early as this place fills up . This could be my new summer breakfast crush .

    Breakfast Burrito
    Shelby E.

    The wife wanted a breakfast burrito, and the powers of yelp brought us here! Put our name down and had enough time to grab coffee while we waited. Ended up sitting outside (heaters weren't on/working, unsure) but the sun made it comfortable! The burrito was delicious and my bacon breakfast sandwich was simple but so. good. I will be thinking of it for days to come!

    Mont de Cristo

    Love the Mont!! On Belmont, this diner-esque eatery doesn't have a lot of seating, but weekdays are probably your best bet for no waits. All the employees I've interacted with were welcoming and friendly. The menu features egg benedicts, scrambles, and some of their well-knowns - french toast, monte cristo, and breakfast burrito. There are also a few selections for lunch! I got the mont de cristo and it was delicious! Thick challah bread, ham, swiss cheese, with a sunny-side-up egg - it is an elevated breakfast sandwich. I love a sweet-savory combo, and this hit the spot! The breakfast potatoes were crispy and perfectly fried - not too oily or salty. Every time I've been here has been a great experience! The Mont may not be one of the big-name-breakfast-places in Portland, but they are not to be overlooked!!

    Mont de Cristo

    Delish breakfast! Loved the mont de cristo. Waited about half an hour on the weekend. Servers are friendly. Street parking rasy to find. Portions for the mont de cristo were biggg. The potatoes are a must!! So perfectly crispy. Love that the $4 coffee is free refills.

    So as a Uber and Lyft driver you discover some great eateries in the Portland Vancouver area. I recently dropped off a rider at this restaurant, and they highly recommended it. I finally had a chance to stop for breakfast. They were not wrong. My waiter Sophie was great, very welcoming and friendly. It is a fairly small place, but very cozy. I ordered the Chorizo Benedict with Avocado and Potatoes. It was fantastic. You always have to add avocado to an order!! I will be back. BTW do not park in the lot next to the restaurant, your can may not be there when your done....

    If I am ever abducted, I hope this is where I'm held hostage! The portions are huge, the menu has a great variety, there are weekend specials, the seating was comfortable, there is an outside dining area as well, everything was very clean and staff was above and beyond friendly. Service was so fast and incredibly accommodating with helpful suggestions. I ordered the meat scramble with no meat and they offered avocado as a substitute at no extra charge and that was brilliant; I never would've even thought to ask for that. We were never rushed, we were checked on several times and we were allowed to just visit and enjoy each other's company, which is probably a huge perk of going during the week and not the weekend. I can't wait to come back.

    This brunch spot was unfortunately not worth the super long wait. The food was just okay and a bit overpriced...and this is coming from someone visiting from a HCOL city. $6 for a small serving of store bought OJ? Skip! We made the mistake of coming on the weekend, so we waited 1.5 hours to be seated. After placing our order, we had to wait another full hour before our food even came. Service was so slow that we considered leaving multiple times. Maybe this place is understaffed. Food wasn't bad but also wasn't memorable. I ordered the Española scramble with salad, which was just okay. The scramble was a bit bland though. I also could've easily made this same scramble myself without needing to wait 2.5 hours for it. After this meal, my group and I all agreed that we won't come back.

    Bloody Mary
    John W.

    My daughter and I went to Mont on SE Belmont St ,for breakfast. Small restaurant, but don't let that discouraged you. Friendly staff and looking at others plates were generous servings. I ordered my favorite sausage biscuits and gravy with scrambled eggs. My daughter had the breakfast burrito with ham. She took half home. My biscuits were perfectly done, with a slight crunch to them. I also ordered a Bloody Mary, nice. All in I would recommend this place. The staff were wonderful. Food was generous and tasty. Check them out if you can.

    Biscuits and gravy
    Wendy S.

    Very cute brunch spot, unfortunately the food wasn't as lovely as the decor. We ordered the classic Benedict, the Mont scramble, biscuits and gravy, and the Mont french toast. The hollandaise on the Benedict was very, very salty. We let the server know when he checked on us and he said he'd pass the message along to the kitchen. There was nothing special about the scramble either. The biscuits and gravy was just okay too, also a little on the salty side. The French toast was good, but it's something I could easily make at home. I enjoyed the coffee and potatoes the most.

    Breakfast Burrito
    Kenneth T.

    Great food. Great Service. Great Ambiance. If I lived closer I'd definitely explore the full menu over the course of several years but I was happy with the burrito. I wasn't crazy about the habanero salsa but that's just me.

    Old Portland Breakfast
    Joseph D.

    The only bad thing about this spot is the wait and limited space. The food was amazing. I have to say this is probably one of the best brunch spots I've ever been to. I had the Portland breakfast or the old Portland or whatever it's called . My wife had chicken and waffles. The main thing that I'd like to point out here is the fact that the breading on the chicken was absolutely amazing . You don't find that out here. It was not overseas, but rather seasoned perfectly. Nice and crispy. The potatoes were cooked nicely as well as the eggs and add an abundance of flavor. The service was as good as it could possibly be whenever you're backed up as much as they were today. 9.5/19

The space itself is smaller and intimate, so bringing a larger group than about 4-5 people might not be ideal. The ambiance definitely gave Italy vibes, for sure. The chicken liver mousse was a good consistency, paired with the figs gave a nice balance between sweet and savory. The steak frites was a classic, steak was a good portion and cooked medium rare, but I'm sure if you wanted it more cooked through, you could make that request. The fries were definitely a standout, great texture and the garlic flavor gave a good contrast to the steak. My favorite dish was the dessert, the flaky crust gave a nice texture to the cream insides. I'm a huge passionfruit fan, so once I saw it was on the menu, I knew I had to try it. It didn't disappoint and I would definitely come back just for this dish alone. Overall a solid experience and would recommend people to try Canard out at least once!

The beverages were however very nice, and I recently had the cobbler dessert and it looked amazing and tasted better. We had the coffee (Extracto, love.), I had a really good hef and my mother a very well balanced Bellini that I was very pleasantly surprised with trying. From what I saw, the lunch sounds very good and I'd be more apt to recommend folks give that a shot if they happened to be going there too. I'm not sure if I'd recommend as a must go stop. Vibe wise, the ambience is overall really nice. I think having rolled flatware, even with just upgraded napkins, would better complete the aesthetic you initially see and feel. This would also connect with the price point of the food and quality of the beverages. As a fellow server, on that note I would expect more consistent stronger visual appearance standards with servers. (Sorry guys! But some of you looked great!) Overall, I'd definitely join a friend for coffee and lunch over there in the future. Just wouldn't be my top pick for a celebratory brunch or intimate dinner with a date or friends and fam.

It came with cheesy hash browns which again had no depth of flavor. Cheese makes anything tasty but it was just too much. The service, while friendly, was not attentive.
