"You’re bound to meet someone who knows someone you know while waiting in line for brunch at Beautys, the classic Montreal Jewish diner. They’ve been open since 1942, and while there’ve been a few tweaks over the years, this sunny spot in Le Plateau still has the original family at the helm. They’ve been serving the original Beautys’ Mish Mash omelette 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, smoothies, and bottomless cups of (very decent) diner coffee. Their crispy bacon and home fries are pretty great, too." - ivy lerner frank

"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
