Eggspectation - Maisonneuve

Had breakfast here. Nice quiet joint with good customer service. Had some American Breakfast, Eggstraordinary and Crepe with Banana & Orange Juice. Breakfast on the whole was good. Loved the potato fritters. Waffles were tasty. The orange juice was a disappointment. It was freshly squeezed, that was great, but maybe the was not great. Not impressed with the crepe as it was overcooked and the Nutella was very less which didn't help the overly crisp crepe. Maybe it was one of a kind error happened while preparing it. But for sure, they should ensure that it doesn't happen again.

I had the veggie omelette with potatoes. Both were very bland, had no seasoning on them as they were prepped or cooked. Any good chef knows food should be seasoned. Given that my omelette had no cheese or salty meat with it, the blandness was very strong. I tried adding my own salt and pepper but it did not help unfortunately. I told the very kind waiter that I was not enjoying my food. He was very apologetic and tried to help me. I didn’t want another dish at this point. So he directed me to his manager. The manager here was very abrupt and he did not seem to empathize with my distaste of my food. He told me that the chefs here and at all of their franchises don’t ever season the food and that they provide salt and pepper shakers on the tables for the customers to season their own food. If he said that to chef Gordon Ramsay, he’d call this guy a donkey. The service and atmosphere here was very nice—except for the managers service. Unless you’re getting a dish that comes with salty cheese and salty meat, you may find your food blasée. I will not come back.

We had a great breakfast here on an early weekend morning. The menu had lots of great options but we thought the lyonnaise potato’s are the reason we will come back. The eggs Benedict was my favorite. I had to edit this after we went back to say we had even better service the second time: Perog took care of us.

I also loved their pancakes 🥞 Arghavan Rastegari - Follow me on Google Maps for more reviews ☺️

We are on the outdoor patio and had very attentive service by Omar. The hostess didn’t want to seat us outside but he was quick to seat us since we weren’t in a rush. I think they were short staffed but he certainly gave us amazing and unhurried service. We noticed the server bring by an omelette - it was huge, so you could easily share the meal. The fresh fruit bowl that our neighbour had was very large and had a variety of fruit. We ordered the All American breakfast and the breakfast bagel. The coffee isn’t amazing but the food made up for it! A great breakfast place!!

Delicious food, friendly and efficient service, and cute restaurant. We stopped by in Saturday morning and it quickly got busy after we arrived. We ordered the breakfast poutine, Yolk Around the Clock, Eggstraordinary Breakfast, and sides of the fruit cup, smoked salmon and bacon. It was eggcellent! Kept us full for a long day of sightseeing!

Great breakfast/brunch spot. They are very welcoming, always smiling with customers. The plates were of a big portion. I would recommend their benedictine.

Wonderful spot for brunch. Delicious fresh-squeezed grapefruit juice. Ample platter of bagel with lox!
