Waitress is friendly and attentive, coffee(and refills) are free, and the food is delicious!

I am all about dive diners but my breakfast was nasty. The tomaotes in my omelet tasted sour, like they had gone bad. I barely ate any of it and just paid and left. Also overpriced for the quality of what you get. Won’t be going again.

Très bonne nourriture et en très grande quantité dans l’assiette. Le rapport qualité/prix est vraiment à son avantage.

This place has everything. We came for breakfast and there was something for every taste. The Lunch-Dinner menu was also extensive. Glad we found it!

Good service and hearty portions. They know how to fit a lot of people into their restaurant. We enjoyed the omelettes we ordered plus we got a side of challah French toast. It is reasonable in cost and they had tons of choices from waffles to pancakes. The home fries are excellent.

L’endroit est plutôt simple et vieillot mais les déjeuners et le service étaient excellents!

A friend of mine recommended this place for breakfast, and boy were they right! I decided to have the traditional Eggs Benedict, and they were delectable! Of course, the eggs were cooked perfectly… not under-cooked or overcooked. The Hollandaise sauce was very rich, and they give you a generous amount of sauce as well. The potatoes that were served with the meal were also great, not to heavy, but very light. And, of course, it comes with the traditional fruit arrangement that seems to be popular in Montréal. This meal was the perfect size… it was filling but didn’t bog you down. Easily, one of the best breakfasts I have had in Montréal, or even anywhere. Highly recommend!

This place has a nice, unassuming feel. It’s a cozy diner without any frills. For $ 6, you can get an egg, sausage, hash browns, that usual choice of «bread,» and coffee. The food is cheap but good(don’t get anything with spinach: I’m looking at you, eggs Benedict), and the best part is that there’s never a line. Ever. It’s so vexing going to brunch and waiting in line for half an hour or going to a place and deciding it’s not worth waiting and then finding another place to go. Not here: they actually put tables in their restaurant instead of couches and bean bags and decorative body dancers. It’s not something to show off(unless you’re showing it off to someone who asked to go to a diner), but it’s convenient.

Quelle belle surprise… Un dimanche après-midi, nous cherchions une place pour un brunch très tardif, qui né soit pas fermé, ou plein á craquer ou même que l’on né nous claque pas la porte au nez… Une petite recherché sur« Unilocal» et nous voilà au «Vieux Saint-Laurent». Vieux, c’est sûr, la salle á manger né donne pas trop envie, la Deco est très, très sobre, un air de cafétéria… La serveuse, peu avenante, nous passons commande… Et là, des assiettes pleines, mais vraiment très pleines ! Une serveuse décoincée et une ambiance plus chaleureuse. Un très, très bon qualité /prix… Très bon, bien garnis ! J’y retournerai, c’est certain !

Client depuis des années, dîner genre années ’70/’80, prix très abordables pour les petits déjeuners, assiettes généreuses, service ok. Ils ouvrent à 6h30am. J’adore le Festin #1.(2 oeufs /2 pancakes /bacon /saucisse /patates /fèves aux lard) 11,50 $. Allez y le matin de bonne heure avant le rush des lève-tards.

Une très bonne adresse à connaitre, de celles qui né paient pas de mine mais qui valent le coup. J’y ai pris un déjeuner avec 1 oeuf, du bacon, des roties, des pommes de terre rissolées et des fruits(café à volonté et confiture/beurre d’arachides sur la table). Le tout pour 7 $ 50(taxes incluses). Que demander de plus ? Une bonne adresse pour déjeuner simplement et efficacement !

Ouvert depuis des lustres, ce petit deli me rappelle mon adolescence, dejeuner toute la jounee, toute la semaine. Tout est bon, du steak au burger en passant par la soupe du jour maison et des frites croustillantes. Pas tres cher et tres bon service.

Do you want to eat a fancy meal, where you like boasting you scored seats? Well this ain’t it! This has been a Main staple for so long and yet maintained its goal, to fill you up! The Omelette was excellent, the amount of fruit served is unbelievable(given how rising commodity prices has decreased portions elsewhere) What you see is what you get, an amazing breakfast!

Pretty much the most average place on The Main, but that plays to its charm. It’s got eggs, it’s got bacon and in the afternoon, it has sandwiches and some other stuff. You get what you pay for, and always leave with a full stomach. Fun fact: This is my first time back in two years, and NONE of the staff have changed. Good sign that they’re treated well.

Came here with a local friend who swears this is her favourite spot for breakfast. I’m a sucker for well-worn diners, and that is exactly what we found here. Luckily, we were early enough to grab a table — this is a very popular spot, and the crowd at the entrance was thick at the entrance when we left. Food is diner food, and that’s perfect for a weekend morning. I had the smoked salmon omelette and I really enjoyed it. Large portions, bottomless coffee and typically neutral service(they just need to keep pushing the customers through) were expected and received. For the portions and the«greasy spoon» atmosphere, I’ll be back.

Trekked a long way to get here for brunch as per our concierge’s recommendation one Saturday afternoon. We waited about an hour between the time we ordered our food and the time it was placed in front of us. The waitress said that it was always that busy on Saturdays but I felt that we could have been warned as we were extremely famished once we arrived and were literally going stir crazy watching people eating around us. Despite this major setback our food that arrived was delicious. The eggs were cooked perfectly, the bacon wasn’t too fatty and it came with a small cup of fruit and unlimited coffee which we really needed. The homefries were my favorite part and I would go back just for those. Overall, I am pleased with the food but felt that the service should have informed us of the long wait ahead so we could plan accordingly.

De passage prolonge a Montréal, et domicilie a l’hotel proche de YUL, je cherchais du couscous. Je suis tombe sur ce restaurant a Saint-Laurent, dans un quartier tres ethnique ou on trouve des restos de beaucoup de nationalites, surtout moyen-orient et Afrique. Une devanture discrète et un local tout en profondeur — le décor a vu des meilleurs jours — certainement beaucoup de jours. Attention, ce n’est pas un endroit chic! Mais le diner etait impeccable! J’etais seul, donc je né peux juger que de 2 plats: la soupe harira et le couscous. La harira etait bien parfumee, avec du boeuf, lentilles et pois chiches — tres bonne. Quant au couscous merguez pour moins de $ 10, il etait préparé par le chef au comptoir et porte a table dans une assiette profonde avec tout ce qu’il faut — voir la photo. Du bouillon et harissa a cote. Tout cela et le thé a la menthe pour moins de $ 15TTC! Une bonne adresse.

Great greasy breakfast. Get one of the«festins» and you’ll be full for the rest of the day. Even though the place is usually very busy, the staff is friendly. Always hits the spot.

Want breakfast? That’s what you’ll get. Classic petite dejeuner for under $ 5 with lots of other breakfast options on the menu. No frills, no jam(you have to ask and even then they dole the stuff out like gold, one packet at a time), lots of refills on your coffee. They serve late, are quick about it, will probably tease you about your French and bring you a hot simple plate of exactly what you expected. The potatoes are quite tasty. Like fries but in the shape of breakfast potatoes. Breakfast served until 4pm, Interac and credit cards accepted, you can easily get out of Le Vieux St-Laurent for two under $ 15.

We woke up late but still wanted to breakfast. Not knowing what our options where in terms of «Denny’s» and«IHOPs» in Canada, we decided to check this place out. They serve breakfast until 4pm. Great place, great options, and we were able to get our pancakes and toast in the afternoon!

Another great place to eat in Montréal! A wide variety of options on the breakfast front(seeing that I was there between the breakfast and lunch hours) and if I am not mistaken, breakfast is served for most of the day, if not all day. The egg dishes and omelettes come with white or wheat toast, breakfast potatoes, a small fruit cup, and coffee, if you so choose. I had a basic cheddar omelette with wheat toast and probably the best potatoes ever(not greasy at all!) They also offer a nice selection of pancakes, crepes, french toast, and any other breakfast dish you could possibly think of. Friendly waitstaff, excellent food, and great service make it all the more enjoyable. Plus, the restaurant is so conveniently located in the trendy St. Laurent area along with many other cool shops.
