Brunch is good for so many occasions: hangovers, girl time, day dates and, of course, those memorable "morning after" dates where both of you feel slightly awkward and forced to be sharing a meal after maybe just meeting the night before. Lucky for us, Montreal is a city that is crawling with brunch spots to pick from... so much so it was hard to narrow it down to just 21 Montreal brunch spots. But here they are!
I don’t think I have ever met anyone who doesn’t enjoy a good breakfast joint. Throughout Montreal, we are lucky enough to have a slew of brunch spots all around the city. I have always been told that breakfast is the most important meal of the day and with that theory in mind, I became slightly obsessed with noshing on eggs, bacon and all that other good stuff.
There are so many cool spots throughout the city that serve up all sorts of brunches.
From Middle Eastern-inspired brunches and lavish eateries to iconic 1940’s diners and classic Canadian spots, Montreal has a lot to offer to brunch lovers.
