Als das Chez Cora vor 10 Jahren eröffnete, war es eines von wenigen Restaurants in Montreal, die sich auf Frühstück und Brunch spezialisierten. Diese Idee scheint Schule gemacht zu haben, denn inzwischen gibt es knapp 20 Filialen auf der Insel, und an Wochenenden sollte man sich je nach Standort auf Wartezeiten zwischen 15 und 45 Minuten für einen Tisch einstellen. Überdurchschnittlich hohe Qualität und große Portionen stellen hier jeden zufrieden. Die verschiedenen Optionen berücksichtigen Kalorien- und Gesundheitsbewusste ebenso wie Gäste mit besonders großem Appetit. Unter anderem gehört zu jedem Gericht eine große Auswahl an Fruchtsäften, kostenloser Kaffeenachschub, Bagels mit Frischkäse, Eier in allen erdenklichen Variationen, Crêpes und Waffeln, und auf jedem Tisch steht Ahornsirup. In der familienfreundlichen Chez Cora-Kette geht es mit großen Fenstern und ansprechenden, hellen Farben immer sonnig zu. Wer einmal keine Lust zum Kochen und Abwaschen hat, kann ganz ausgezeichnet mit seinen Kindern hierher kommen.

Weitere Filialen befinden sich in 9394 de l'Acadie (+1 514 381 5606), 7573 Newman (+1 514 364 5884) und 5940 Cote des Neiges (+1 514 341 2672).

Consistently voted Montreal's best brunch spot, this legendary diner is a must-visit, provided that you can deal with enormous weekend lines. Beauty's is neither hip nor health-conscious, but for wonderfully prepared breakfast standards, it has few equals. Piles of fresh fruit accompany every meal though regulars, spoilt for choice, have been known to leave it on the plate. On Sundays, aim to arrive before 10a or expect to wait upwards of an hour in line.

As it is conversationally known, "L’Avenue" sits at number 922 on Montreal’s busy Mont-Royal Avenue. This restaurant serves up a classic array of gourmet-style American dishes amid a funky-chic atmosphere. Inside, a tattooed mannequin and graffitied walls greet guests while minimal, industrial tunes hum in the background. L’Avenue is favored for its brunch menu, but the omelets are available at any meal, and the sandwiches are also impressive. If you visit on a weekend morning, head out before 11a to avoid the inevitable line. Meals at L’Avenue are affordable and won't burn a whole in your pocket. Recommended are the Montreal Cheese-Steak, any smoothie, and the delicious potatoes served with breakfast plates!
