Where are some good breakfast restaurants in MTL?

[Mailloche]

Classic breakfast

Chez Jacquie et France
Millmans
Le Chevalier Blanc it's a hot dog place but make good cheap breakfast all day.

They all located in Verdun

There's another one which is Rita's "sister" place on Wellington but there's always line-up, i hate line up so i never went. Edit Chez Janine

Also Eggsquis on Newman in Lasalle some of the waitress are damn hot.

Moé j’me casse pas l’bécik. Quand j’ai envie du déjeuner classique ben gras c’est parce que j’ai pris un coup solide la veille! Faque je m’enligne Chez Claudette pis chu sûr de mon coup, ça va être gras pas à moitié pis personne va m’écoeurer avec les ostie de pancake américaines pis le criss de ketchup!!!

Pour ma part, un bon deux oeufs, Bacon, pain blanc
1- Crescendo, Verdun, endroit sur le bord de l'eau, terrasse pour manger à l'extérieur, un peu dispendieux mais les patates vaut le déplacement.
2- Dame tartine, Sur Ontario et A-de-sève, endroit qui vieilli bien dans le temps pour les patates aussi
3- Allô mon coco,
4-AM déjeuners

Just tried Petinos and it's quite good.

My go to breakfast place is near Jean Talon market called L'Eggs Oeufs du marché

Forgot to share a picture (Petinos)

They are amazing but I have yet to find a place in Montreal that makes them properly.

Now there is fuwa fuwa, did you try? (I didn't though)

McDonald's

The sausage and egg McMuffin, whether you are happy or sad, always seems to "hit the spot".

I tried different McDonald's around the world and each country has their local menu on top of the global one.
Here I really like the bagel breakfast!

In the "BEST breakfast" thread?

McDonald’s never fits into any 'best' category.

I didn't post it for you. I posted for others reading this thread because American pancakes are not known at many or most Montreal restaurants and they will try to make the above with crepe batter, which is not possible. This post was for them.

Everybody across Canada let alone Montreal knows and has eaten pancakes before. You don't have to call them American pancakes and I grew up in South Florida before you think I'm some Euro douche.

I do have to call them American pancakes due to the fact that most of the breakfast restaurants I have been to in Montreal except the downtown places catering to tourists did not know what I was talking about when I asked about their availability. While your cultural acumen and South Florida roots may be laudable, it does NOT represent "everyone across Canada" based upon my own extensive experiences in Montreal breakfast restaurants for many years. In which multiple restaurants in Montreal tried to make me pancakes out of crepe batter rather than buttermilk pancake batter. Where I come from confusing one with the other is sacrilege.

Sometimes French crèpes are translated to pancake and that can be misleading

It's been done more than once in my case in Montreal. It's not the same thing!

LeDodo is correct, it could be a translation issue. I was going to say that some places may not have the ingredients for pancakes available, but I mean it's basically flour, water, baking soda I think.....

Yeah, you are right. The conversation deviated, or my thoughts.

 

[EagerBeaver]

You are leaving out 3 key ingredients: Buttermilk, eggs and butter. The same 3 the Montreal restaurants leave out when trying to make pancakes out of crepe batter.

 

[Alucard87]

I'll add Universel on Peel.

I think EB wrote it 5 times so far: he is talking about "real" American pancakes made from buttermilk batter. Maybe even wearing a MAGA red cap!

Personaly I never tried them here or anywhere else. I dont like sweet in the morning and I absolutely love crepes stuffed with béchamel, chanterelles and asparagus!

 

[EagerBeaver]

Maybe even wearing a MAGA red cap!

They are enjoyed by many who do not do that, myself included! Maybe you should take a trip across the border to Vermont some time and enjoy them.

You can also get them at a place in Plattsburgh, NY called the Hungry Bear. I can personally vouch for theirs.

Yeah I went to take a look at the buttermilk in my fridge that I use for chicken to see if the recipe was for pancakes but it was for banana bread, then I got distracted and didn't come back to edit it in as an ingredient.
