8 Tasty MTL Brunch Spots That Aren't The Usual 'Scene' So You Won't See Everyone You Know
It's no secret that Montrealers love brunch. And while the brunch scene in Montreal can be... well... a scene, sometimes you just want to roll out of bed and pig out at a restaurant where you won't run into anyone.
Not only are these eight spots delicious, but they're also not the same old places everyone goes all the time — perfect for avoiding crowds and focusing on the best part of brunch: the food.
SHAY
Address: 1414, rue Notre-Dame O., Montreal, QC
Why You Need To Go: Bringing Lebanese cuisine to the classic North American brunch, SHAY is one of the most creative concepts to join Montreal's legendary brunch world.
Le Passé Composé At Time Out Market
Address: Eaton Centre, 705, rue Sainte-Catherine O., Montreal, QC
Why You Need To Go: It's true that Le Passé Composé is one of the more popular spots in town for weekend brunch, but getting in at Time Out Market, in the heart of downtown, instead of the original location, is definitely a way to avoid seeing everyone in your neighbourhood.
Yaourti
Address: 1407, rue Crescent, Montreal, QC
Why You Need To Go: While this gorgeous yogurt cafe doesn't technically have a brunch menu, "Greek yogurt-forward" dishes make for a perfect late morning or early afternoon meal. How delicious does a taste of the Mediterranean sound?
