10 brunch places in Montreal we have eaten in, sorted by editor score. All cuisines in Montreal | Brunch across every city.
Weekend brunch is a competitive sport in Montreal, and the Plateau holds several heavyweights: Beautys Luncheonette has served its lox-and-bagel Special since 1942, L'Avenue draws lines for enormous plates, and Cafe Cherrier puts eggs benedict on a classic bistro terrasse. Old Montreal answers with Olive et Gourmando's tartines, Le Cartet's loaded platters of eggs, charcuterie and cheese, and Le Passe-Compose's multi-course French brunch on Rue William. Saint-Henri's Arthurs Nosh Bar updates the Jewish diner with latkes and challah French toast, while Regine Cafe stacks waffles in Rosemont and Faberge does the same with pancakes in Mile End.
