L’Oeufrier

I’m not much a fan of eggs however I’m glad I didn’t judge this brunch location simply by their name! This has got to be my favourite brunch restaurant that I’ve been to in Montréal or anywhere else for that matter.
Location: only a few blocks from Crémazie Métro Station and a few minutes of a TransCanada Hwy exit if you’re coming from afar. However this restaurant clearly is representing for the residents of Villeray.
Atmosphere: with a bright a fairly large dining area it easy to notice the popularity of this place as it still seems full inside. However don’t let that discourage you if you’re looking for a quite brunch because it didn’t get loud in there. It seems it attracts an respectful crowd of people or maybe sound just doesn’t travel much in there. In addition to the indoor dining area, there is a covered patio that allows a lot of sunshine in plus there are heaters well positioned to separate you from the Montréal winter.
Food: First of all, they have english menus so that’s a big plus for us Anglophones who are visiting. The menu was stacked with egg inspired dishes however there was still a number of options for anyone who might not be a fan of eggs (or am I the only one?). I ordered a Tuna Grilled Cheese Sandwich with the pan fries & Caesar salad. This comes with coffee or herbal tea and a dessert. I must say that the Caesar salad was pretty amazing. For my personal taste maybe it could have used a bit more dressing but the croutons were perfect and it had real piece bacon in it. As for the sandwich, I think a bit more cheese would have made the it to die for but really no complaints. It was perfectly grilled and tuna was of a good texture.
Staff: Despite how busy it was, they were quick to take our order and serve the food. And each waiter/​waitress on the floor kept an eye on each table. While we did have a main waiter, often the others stepped up to satisfy our concerns or questions. There was never a time where we felt we were waiting on them. Great work team!
Overall: I happy to be spending my time in the Villeray community of Montréal and I hope to visit this place again for brunch before I leave. Next time I’ll be sure to try one their smoothies.

Excellent food. The portions are generous so you definitely won’t leave hungry. I had the breakfast poutine with 3 different types of sausage, including chorizo. The potatoes are also one of the best I’ve ever tried for a breakfast restaurant. Come early if you want to eat here as it gets packed quickly

Great brunch location. They do specialize in the juices, so I highly suggest you make sure to have space for that. Also, the menu is fully loaded with protein, breakfast sweets, and everything a good brunch should have. My group and I were highly satisfied.

Une de mes endroit préféré pour les brunch! Les employées sont super sympathique et le service est rapide malgré la popularité du Resto

Super restaurant, le menu est incroyable! Les prix sont bons, le goût et les cocktails de fruit sont exquis! J’ai pris le jus pamplemousse et orange fraîchement pressé et c’était très bon! Le service est bon mais le temps d’attente un peu long! Le restaurant est quand même bruyant avec sa petite salle à manger intérieure.

Awesome little breakfast place. Bright and friendly staff. And a lot of different menu items. Particularly lived all the different grilled cheese sandwiches. It’s the kind of place you just have to go back to more than once cause there’s other dishes you want to try. This place is definitely my new go-​to Sunday brunch spot.

A solid 3.5 star breakfast joint. Nothing to write home about, but no frills and decent quality when you need your morning eggs, meat and coffee fix. Yeah it’s a chain, albeit a small one. But it’s one of the only breakfast places in the area that’s not a complete greasy dive (and we all knows there’s a time and place for those), has a good amount of decent breakfast options, and surprisingly fast and efficient service when I visited. We ordered some complex items and nothing was messed up and we had our food in just under fifteen minutes (yeah, we timed it) on a busy Sunday morn. Oh, and bonus points for the summer terrace.

Damn ,
What an amazing brunch.
I had le st-​Laurent poutine, which was amazing. This is because both cheese were melting along the smoke meat, which was a really unique taste. As for the fries aka freaking amazing HOMEMADE POTATOES they are to die for. The eggs on top just adds extra points: p
My gf had Patati Patata, and she loved it. The portion were huge enough and the bread that came along with it from Moisson was amazing.
It’s definitely a good brunch place, clean and in a good neighbourhood l. Service is excellent, although it was not really busy at the time I came .
4 stars out of 5, because 5 stars for me is really hard to give !!

Great food, friendly service, big portions and a great atmosphere. No complaints at all.
There was a 20 – 30 wait around noon on a Saturday so the owner had set up a thermos of coffee to stay warm while we waited. A small point but the mark of a restaurant that cares about their clients and puts thought into every detail.

Usually l’oeufrier is great but this one had awful service on a Sunday at brunch. Took 20 minutes just to put our order in and our waitress didn’t come to see us once, food arrived warm if that and it took another 10 to get the bill. Really awful service but at least the food was pretty good.

Quand tu veux du bon petit déjeuner sans t’éloigner de chez toi, difficile de trouver un bon petit spot qui t’offrira du bonheur. Dans Villeray, c’est l’Oeufrier qui fait ce travail de bonheur le matin dans la vie des gens.
Pour vivre tout proche de l’Oeufrier dans le très fabulous quartier de jeunes familles, jeunes couples de professionnel et jeunes étudiants qu’est Villeray, je né peux que me réjouir d’un spot à petit déjeuner aussi convivial. Le service est des plus gentil et attentionné. Les gens du quartier sont peu pressés et prennent leur temps et même si le petit déjeuner n’est pas extraordinaire, il fait du bien le matin et est assurément préparé avec amour.
Récemment, l’Oeufrier a refait son menu pour offrir un grand choix de poutines déjeuner et des grilled cheese qui ont tous des drôles de noms. Ça devient comique de commander son plat.
Mention spéciale à leurs smoothies qui sont que trop DÉLICIEUX. Et pour faire avec la faune un peu hip et branché du quartier, qui sont aussi servi dans des pots masson.

Très bons déjeuners. Service très courtois. Il y a souvent une file d’attente à l’extérieur mais du café est offert pour aider à patienter (très apprécié).

Cute brunch spot in the neighbourhood close to where we were staying for the weekend.
Lovely terrasse but it was full when we arrived around 11am on a Saturday. We were seated at a table for four inside, which wouldn’t have been too bad had it not be directly under the AC vent. This made for a chilly meal.
I ordered the traditional breakfast with fresh juice and coffee ($ 9.99). It came with my choice of eggs (over easy), hash browns, crispy bacon, 2 sausages, a slice of cantelope and orange, and 2 pieces of toast. Portion size was pretty generous. I couldn’t finish the hash browns or sausages. The fresh juice was a nice blend of mixed fruits and you could still taste the pulp, a nice change from the traditional orange juice.
Others ordered the mushroom and brie eggs benny and the smoked salmon benny ($ 12-​$ 15) and we’re quite happy with them, especially since they both came with a generous side of fruit.
Service was okay, not the best — we had to flag down another server to order apple juice and get ketchup. The place was super busy with hungry brunchers on this Sat. morning.
Decent brunch and would return if we’re in the neighbourhood again.

Both my wife and I found this place to be good. It was definitely a step up from your Chez Cora type place, but nothing was fantastic. The food was fresh and tasty, portions big (including the side fruit portions which were huge — very unusual). Nice enough, bright atmosphere with friendly service. Tables are close together so think twice before going with a baby in a stroller (as we did). Because it was so early and empty, they were able to accommodate and make space, though.
I should also mention that the menu was quite extensive. I’d say because we’re in the neighbourhood, we’d go back, but wouldn’t travel far for it.
