"Waiting in line for brunch at Beautys, the classic Montreal Jewish diner, is a local rite of passage. While there have been a few tweaks over the years (they've been open since 1942), this sunny spot in the Plateau still has a warm atmosphere, thanks to the original family still captaining the ship. They’ve been serving the original Beautys’ Mish Mash omelet with salami, hot dogs, and green peppers for 80 years, alongside chopped liver sandwiches and lox and cream cheese on St-Viateur bagels. Don’t miss their fresh-squeezed orange juice, signature smoothies, and bottomless cups of (very decent) diner coffee." - ivy lerner frank, team infatuation

"A tourist destination and a local hangout, Beautys remains a steadfast favourite. When it comes to sandwiches the Beautys Bonjour with its fried egg, bacon, and cheddar cheese served on a sesame seed bagel is a masterclass in simple excellence." - Erinn Blicher, Eater Staff
"This landmark diner is a reliable choice for locals and tourists looking for an uncomplicated breakfast in Montreal’s Mile End. Consider the Mish Mash, an omelette with salami, hot dogs, and green peppers, or the Special, a sandwich with lox, cream cheese, sliced tomatoes, and onions — both iconic dishes in the city. Open since 1942 and still in the family, owners recently gave Beauty’s a major refresh with a design they promise continues to “honour the history, the period, and the feeling of the place.”" - Valerie Silva, Holly Tousignant
