In the "BEST breakfast" thread?McDonald's
The sausage and egg McMuffin, whether you are happy or sad, always seems to "hit the spot".
McDonald’s never fits into any 'best' category.
Where are some good breakfast restaurants in MTL?

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!

The title of this thread is "Where are some good breakfast restaurants in MTL?"
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.
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.
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!
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.Maybe even wearing a MAGA red cap!
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.I think EB wrote it 5 times so far: he is talking about "real" American pancakes made from buttermilk batter.

I probably spent more than a full year on the east coast of the USA during my lifetime so far. From north of the Maine all the way down to the Keys. Not counting a dozen trips to NYC. I think I know a thing or two about what the gastronomy has to offer there. Pancakes just dont do it for me, never did.
