English: This was a decent place to grab brunch. The staff member who sat us was super friendly and struck up a conversation about the history of our names, which was funny. The place was pretty busy when we got there but it took all of 10 minutes to get a table. I got the steak and eggs, and was happy with my choice. The steak was a pretty low-tier cut (thin and fatty), but that was expected, and it was cooked fairly well. I got my eggs over-easy and the yolks were perfectly runny. Additionally, the breakfast potatoes that I got with my meal were scrumptious. I'll also add that while the portion of fruit they give is small, it's actually FRESH, instead of the soupy soggy fruit salad most places give. Others at my table ordered a grilled-cheese style breakfast sandwich and a waffle eggs benedict. Everyone thought the food was pretty good. Français: C'était un endroit correct pour bruncher. Le membre du personnel qui nous a assis était super sympathique et a engagé la conversation sur l'histoire de nos noms, ce qui était drôle. L'endroit était assez animé quand nous sommes arrivés, mais il nous a fallu à peine 10 minutes pour trouver une table.. J'ai pris le steak et œufs, et j'étais satisfait de mon choix. Le steak était une coupe assez basse (fine et grasse), mais c'était attendu, et il était assez bien cuit. J'ai mis mes œufs trop légers et les jaunes étaient parfaitement liquides. De plus, les pommes de terre du petit-déjeuner que j'ai reçues avec mon repas étaient délicieuses. J'ajouterais aussi que, même si la portion de fruits qu'ils donnent est petite, elle est en réalité FRAÎCHE, contrairement à la salade de fruits soupeuse et détrempée que la plupart des endroits proposent. D'autres à ma table ont commandé un sandwich de petit-déjeuner façon fromage grillé et un gaufre aux œufs bénédicte. Tout le monde trouvait la nourriture plutôt bonne. read more

Orange Café - Steak and Eggs - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

everything is dirty , the booths, the menus sticky. While we were eating they were washing the floor with pine sol.

I like this place more than the big chains... prices are about the same and service was very good and attentive. Wait time on a Sunday midday was not long for a table of four. Many menu options to suit all tastes. I found the ham to be delicious. We will be back! read more

After church my friend asked me if I wanted to go to Orange Cafe. I thought it was a good choice for breakfast. Service is a bit off here but nothing that should put you in a bad mood. Prices are very reasonable and the food was fresh. I really liked the rye bread and the marmalade. Eggs were fluffy and well done and the potatoes were mighty good. Weekends will be hectic, so expect a wait. Like most places in Montreal, your only option is street parking and it can be a challenge. read more

This spot was good. We went for brunch, it was jam packed, and it's a pretty big spot. There was another party of six in front of us, and we still got seated pretty quickly. Or did it just seem that way because the host, I'm assuming he was the owner, was so cool and friendly. Making jokes, light conversation and making the kids laugh. The food was good, I got the Benedict, classic of course. But it wasn't very good. The slice of ham was very small, the egg was over cooked (a sin), the bread was toast not English muffin (another sin), but the hollandaise was pretty good, and so were the potatoes (they serve a hot sauce on the side which seemed like tabasco and lemon juice, very good with these potatoes) But the rest of meals were very good. The breakfast sandwich was large and in charge. The bagel, loxs and cream cheese plate came with some tasty tomatoes and capers. Excellent! Overall the food was good but the greeting by the host was spectacular. The place was crazy busy but we got our food pretty quick. Everyone was happy read more

The food quality is about the same as it has been, so it is consistent. However, service from this one particular waiter is disgustingly unprofessional! My friend and I went twice and had the same waiter on a Saturday morning. He starts chatting with people about non-restaurant related stuff, or just hangs around doing nothing, and doesn't come to give us our, bills nor even come to take our orders on time. When we need something, he's nowhere to be seen. He should be FIRED! I have had much better waiters here in the past. The food is ordinary to be honest. Nothing to rave about. read more

Situated in NDG, this little breakfast/brunch place has its charm. Their terrasse is very nice on nice summer morning; just sitting outside tanning and people watching is a great way to spend your morning on a day off. I ordered their Uber Health salad (I know the name might seems weird) and it tastes really good. The portion is huge first and foremost. The salad is fresh, the nice mix of fruitiness and nutty taste makes this salad very balanced and fulfilling. The prices are reasonable, the waitress was very nice to us even though we were sitting outside, she kept checking on us and filling up our water. Overall, NDG always has this special little place in my heart and this little brunch restaurant doesn't really pop out but it certainly doesn't disappoint. read more

The service was too slow considering the number of people ordering on a Monday morning. I ordered double shot espresso and my friends did order Americano of which both were bland. Medium cooked steak came as overcooked and dry. The waitress was kind but not attentive to the table. The experience didn't worth the time and money. read more

Orange Café - Could this be the Heinz girl - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

Good reliable brunch place in NDG. The exterior is deceptive, it's very nondescript, you'd walk past it a dozen times and never think to go in. Inside though it's a fairly large space with cute photos of the neighbourhood on the walls, playing up the "orange" in the cafe's name. They have a nice broad brunch menu, with lots of smoothies, egg options and the usual pancake and waffles. I had the veggie omelette which came with toast and a generous helping of home fries which were very good, came with lots of big chunks of onion and bell pepper mixed in. Portions are big but not overwhelmingly so. Coffee is decent and refills are prompt. Service is efficient and friendly. There's usually a lineup on weekends starting around 11, so get there early. If you are stuck waiting, you can always go for a browse at the used bookstore next door! read more

*full disclosure: I don't review often and only for 5 star reviews If I had to choose a last meal on this earth it would be Cafe Orange (and I'm not kidding). Now mostly that's for the food. The portions are generous and absolutely delicious and the coffee comes with most breakfast orders. Special shout out to the breakfast sandwich and those amazing breakfast potatoes. More than that though, this place has a sentimental place in my heart. My husband and I came here a lot when we started dating because the prices were super reasonable and the atmosphere feels completely like home. Many of the staff have been here since we started coming (almost 15 years ago) and the owner/manager always has a joke and a kind pat on the shoulder. They've since renovated, and it feels even more homey with all the NDG photos on the wall. Finally, the vast majority of seating is booths and what's better than a booth? Nothing! Sadly, we moved away to Seattle a few years ago, but you better believe this is the first place we go for every visit to Montreal. This year, we were lucky enough to come on our anniversary. My husband asked to buy a mug with the restaurant name on it (what can I say, I love this place) and the owner kindly just gifted it to us. This place is special- can't wait to come again and I'm jealous of anyone who lives close enough to go regularly. Ps: this place is always packed. Take it as a testament to the food and don't let it scare you off. You'll be seated surprisingly fast. read more

This place is getting 3 stars for the nice decor and general comfort, not the food which I would only give 2 stars. We just left after going for the first time although we've lived in the area for a decade. I ordered their classic eggs benedict ($11.95), he had the breakfast sandwich on a croissant (early bird special $9.95). When the food came, it looked very nice. Potatoes are actually real, not frozen. Pink grapefruit slices are a nice touch instead of the traditional slice of tomato or orange that are generally on the side of a breakfast plate. Here's where everything went south. I don't know what mix they use for hollandaise sauce (which is already a travesty in my book - if you aren't going to make real hollandaise, you're cheap and lazy) but it was absolutely tasteless. My benedict was not on English muffins, it was on slices of fried French bread. The potatoes.....I kept trying to figure out why they tasted old, dry and of absolutely nothing. How on earth did you screw up potatoes? No salt or pepper - they had colour on them, but my guess is that they had made a huge batch earlier in the morning and had been sitting in the oven for hours. The only nice thing about them was that they are cooked with red peppers and onions - they were the only thing with flavour on the plates besides the pink grapefruit slice. His meal.....he was eating very slowly, so I asked him how it was. He said, "In one word.....overdone." The croissant was not fresh and was so toasted that it was dry and crumbling in his mouth. The bacon was so hard he said it was beef jerky. The cheese was a gross Kraft single which was still cold. This got me curious.....I tasted everything on his plate and he was absolutely right.....dry, overcooked, tasteless. When we left, he said, "That was the worst sandwich I can remember having. It would have been better microwaved!" I wanted to like it, I really did. It's lovely inside, the service was fine.....I would just not go back or recommend it to anyone. read more

Solid if not exceptional brunch food. Highlight was the home fries which are a generous portion of seasoned and well cooked potatoes and onions. Decor and service is about average for a diner. read more

We ended up at this place after a friend proposed it to us. Curious, we tried it out on a Saturday morning. The good: The food is good. Portions generous. Potatoes with onions is perfect. A LOT of maple syrup available. Good coffee. Generous on fruits (not just cantaloups and honeydew). Waiter was friendly and smiling. Brings ketchup, mayo, maple syrup and hot sauce to every table. Restaurant bigger than it looked from outside. We did not wait to get seated. Can bring home leftovers. The bad: The person seating us was incredibly awful. No smiles, barely looking at us, definitely did not want to be there (very bad first impression). Bowl of cream and milk had one milk opened (we did not know) and it dripped on our salt and pepper shakers (those should be checked before service). Eggs were not totally cooked and watery (for scrambled eggs). Waiter was urging us to order, we did not have much time to look at menu. Place can be loud. Kids kicking benches at table behind you makes you feel the kicks. Coffee refills are rare. Other stuff: Steps outside can be very slippery (was winter and it iced a lot recently) and you have NO ramps to hold onto. Parking is almost impossible (on street). The food for this place is good, and for a Saturday morning, we were served quickly. But they have to do something about the "little things", and definitely about the host/hostess. read more

So many rave reviews but I was far from impressed by this place. We ordered a few breakfasts, I got my usual eggs benedict because who wants to make their own hollandaise? I was confused as to why they used regular white bread(they call it "grilled Parisian bread on the menu but is bs) as their benedict bottom, didn't really hold up well to the mountain of hollandaise. The sauce itself wasn't very good, spicy, for some strange reason and kind of bland otherwise. Like they accidentally dumped on some cayenne and just decided to live with it. One friend had ordered the creamed egg and ate only a few bites because she did not enjoy it. Another had one of their omelettes, western I believe, which was more of an egg scramble with chunks of veggies, nothing special but passable. And finally someone had their larger breakfast (eggs, meat, pancake, hashbrowns etc) which was fine. Their hashbrowns were good though! Wasn't too busy, or overly clean, just a regular diner feel with Anglo service. Just another lower quality Montréal institution. People, please, there is better food out there and we have to strive to find it instead of just accepting so much mediocre stuff around the city. read more

Good breakfast place if you go during " lève-tôt " hours for the prices (Monday-Friday). Otherwise, I find it a tad expensive. The portions are generous. The potatoes are different then the other restaurants. They're roasted, perhaps deep fried, sautéed with peppers and onions. A new ce twist! I also liked that the ham was grilled and not heated on a greasy griddle. Also, I would of liked it if my plate came out hot and not warm. The service is really good and fast. read more

I went there for the first time, it is a much more local spot, rather than a attraction. The atmosphere and decor of it, was pretty cozy and warm. There's nice framed photographs on the wall of the seats. And on the more "bar" side of it, there's a chalkboard with neon writing. Theres also 3 TVs spread across the room. I got the "Fill me up" early bird , while my sister and cousin got the breakfast sandwich and my dad got the 2 eggs. The food was okay, not over the top, but not bad either. The eggs were runny :) bacon soft and crisp, but not overcooked, ordinary french toast and pancake. The best of the plate would be the potatoes, which came with green and red pepper slices and onion slices. Maybe just the fact that the number of orange slices are inconsistent as some plates got 2 slices while others got 4. For the other meals, the bread came in a basket with some peanut butter and jam. read more

Really cute place. Breakfast was really delicious. We had the vegetable omelet and the "two and two" breakfast plus a coffee and a berry smoothie (highly recommended). The food took awhile to be served but was freshly cooked. So, if you are in a rush you might want to consider something else. I gave it only 4 stars because of the price.

Go there. You wont regret it!!!!!!! Best breakfast around hands down!!!!

This place keeps getting worse. Came as a group and the manager was nothing short of rude. Could even asks him a question without him cutting us off giving us attitude. Because he wouldn't even listen to us he tried to seat our group of 8 as if we weren't together twice after being told otherwise. We asked if we could be sat at two booths of 4 that were open and side by side but instead say a different party there that came in 20 minutes after us. Rude management, poor service, food isn't good anymore. Won't be back. read more

Best breakfast place in the area, hands down. Nothing fancy, but they do standard breakfast stuff properly and as expected. There's a bit of a line Saturday and Sunday morning, but it moves quickly. They also do a decent lunch, I recommend the Georgia Salad. UPDATE: I'm less fond of this place -- they screwed up my eggs benny the last couple times to the point of uneatable. I don't go here anymore. read more

Florentine Me Part and parcel of a hard night of drinking at Honey's is a sloppy Benedict from Orange Cafe. There tends to be a line that develops quickly so word to the wise, sit at the bar but I swear to god, if I wind up waiting for a bar seat as a result of this review, I will not be pleased. Good coffee and they don't mind if you take it outside for a smoke on a nice spring morning...you know, to enjoy the fresh air. They have pretty bitchen' smoothies that, for all intents and purposes, will cure what ails you and if the does not work...well...your sitting at the bar, put you mind too it. The male servers at this place tend to be jerks, yet another reason to sit at the bar..plus it is always fun to jump the line. I like the Florentine, Benedictwise. Something about the brie and spinach just gets me and they have a Cajunish seasoning on the home fries, that gives them a nice bite. A solid breakfast all around. Should you not be one for the Benedicts, they do everything from a Monte Cristo to burgers after 11:00am so you can't go wrong and it is all good n' greasy. See ya there. waka waka read more

This place is waaay bigger on the inside than what I thought when I first drove by. I came here on the recommendation of my friend and it did not disappoint. A pretty big breakfast selection was offered, and the portions were big. I went with the fresh fruit, yogurt and granola, and the yogurt there was pretty heavenly. I believe that they called it a Balkan yogurt. I also love that they had marble rye bread as a toast option. My friend ordered the breakfast club which came with home fries and it looked like it was a feast for 2. Unlike other reviews that I have read, I found our server to be quite pleasant. She was attentive on the coffee refills and took our orders promptly. read more

Orange Café - Fresh Fruit, Yogurt & Granola - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

Sunday morning after working overnight, craving red meat. Steak 'n' eggs. Dropped in here on my way home after doing a quick browse and go for something open at 7am, and was pleasantly overwhelmed by the menu. The place was quiet, just opening, and not too many people yet. I decided that take-out would score points by coming home with brunch for two, and grabbed my protein fix, some French toast with caramelized bananas, and an all-around breakfast plate (eggs, meats, pancake, etc), and asked them to wrap it all up to go. Zora didn't even blink. Just asked me how I would like my coffee. Not even 15 minutes, and everything was bagged, tagged, and ready. Awesome. The eggs were perfect, steak was good, potatoes rock. Only negative on the plate was the ham in the breakfast plate, it's not the thick sliced variety, but more of a charcuterie sandwich ham, and that lost them the 5th star. The French toast went down as an indulgent and decadent dessert. Was good but next time, I think I'll try the apple-cinnamon instead. Didn't take photos, was too hungry, sorry. Definitely a repeat. read more

This place is a bit out of the way, but if you're in the area it's a good local place to hit up for breakfast. It's not much to look at, but I didn't come here for the view. We came (not too) early on a weekend in Winter, and were seated quickly. The place is big and looked like it had a high turn-over of customers. The service was solid; quick, with no fuss. Just what I look for in a breakfast place when I'm hung-over. The big breakfast (I forget their name for it) was good, and for a reasonable price. It was anything ground-breaking, just good Quebec fare. read more

We had a hankering for breakfast while driving through Notre-dame-de-Grâce, so we put our faith in Google reviews and stopped by Orange Cafe. Although it was raining at the time, we still had to wait in a short line, so it appears as if Orange Cafe is a local favourite. The restaurant has entirely booth seating. It has plenty of orange trim, and decor with a mellow vibe, which is nice considering how much constant hustle & bustle there is in the space. Although the place is busy, they've worked up a pretty efficient system, so you'll be seated pretty soon. When in Montreal you are legally obligated to consume smoked meat of some sort, so I opted for their smoked salmon eggs Benedict dish; the Pacific. With this dish you'll get eggs Benedict, smoked Canadian Pacific salmon, and manouri cheese served on a toasted bagel. On the side you'll get a slice of cantaloupe and grapefruit, plus some home fries. The eggs Benedict portion of the dish was a stellar start. I've typically not cared for hollandaise sauce, but Orange Cafe serves you up a mild sauce with enough flavour that it isn't a waste of time & calories. Furthermore, it pairs excellently with the flavourful and salty smoked salmon. After you go and release that beautiful egg yolk, you've got a breakfast delight that will start any day right. To speak to the sides, the home fries are fantastically seasoned, but they lose points since they're not at all crispy. The slice of cantaloupe was pointlessly small. All in all, Orange Cafe really hit the spot. It's hard to do breakfast food wrong, but they do it pretty damn well. Come through! read more

Can you say 'peanut butter banana smoothie'??! There are many reasons to come here for breakfast, lunch or brunch but the peanut butter banana smoothie is at the top of the list. The omelettes are great and they always give nice sized portions. My personal favorite is the Veracruz which has salsa, sour cream, avocado and cheddar. They have a pretty large menu so there's something for everyone including water for all of those who are gluten free, fat free, sugar free, taste free, etc. My only negative comment would be related to their bagels. They don't have good bagels which is a little sacrilegious considering Montreal has the best bagels on earth and they deliver to restaurants all over the city on a daily basis. read more

Orange Café - Breakfast sandwich, yum - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

We really enjoy our almost monthly brunch smorgasbords at Orange! Pros: Portions are generous, service is quick (we're usually there on weekends around 10am) and generally friendly, though it does vary depending on the staff. The menu is extensive, so if you've a sweet or savoury craving, ravenous or merely peckish, they've got you covered. They've a nice kids menu, booster seats and high chairs, and comfy booths as well as tables. Cons: I've been a client for several years now and have noticed a decrease in quality in two items in particular. I used to rave about the fluffy hot potatoes, but they've been hit or miss over the last 3 months. The hollandaise sauce has also changed - I don't believe it's house made anymore, which is a pity as it used to be delicious. It can be noisy when crowded, but I don't mind - it's lively and lovely to see so many people out on a weekend morning! If you go after 10:30 on weekend morning, expect a fair sized line up, though I've never had to wait more than 15 mins. read more

Food is great, service is fast and efficient and the prices, although they have been raised in the last year quite substantially, are still good. I would have given this 5 stars but took off one for two reasons: 1) the noise level when full is beyond belief and 2) getting someone to take your payment very difficult to the point of annoying. read more

The food is good. Portions are nice.but the staff can be hit or miss. I was seated and no one bothered to give me a menu. Waiter avoided eye contact whenever possible. He always seemed annoyed when my girlfriend or I had a question. And then afterwards when I kissed my girlfriend goodbye I could see the waiter shaking his head and snickering something to another waiter. I can empathize with them if they have a large workload or maybe something isn't going well for them at home. But there's no need to take it out on me or any other customer. I don't think I'll be coming back. read more

Great brunch. Omelette was amazing. Just make sure you order it with a side of shredded smoked meat!!

For me, one of the best breakfasts in Montreal. Lots of choices for every taste, generally good quality, and despite the business on the weekends, I've never had a big problem with the service. Also, lots of vegetarian options (but probably not much for vegans). I recommend the Pacifico omelet. Delicious! My wife always gets the Hellenic omelet, and it's also very good. This place swipes Cora's under the rug, no problem. Never been for lunch or dinner, so can't recommend in that regard. read more
