    Irish coffee and a bloody mary
    Cole S.

    We came to The Mont at 1030 on a Wednesday morning and got the last free table before they started a wait list. If that doesn't tell you this place has good food then I don't know what does. The vibes are everything you expect from a Portland restaurant, a little grungy, diner fare but with interesting twists and turns for that elevated Portland experience. I got the Mont De Cristo and was blown away with absolutely perfect french toast. Crispy on the outside, pillowy in the middle and a big cinnamon spice flavor. I would definitely recommend The Mont for anyone looking for a great brunch on the east side.

    Hot Chai

    My partner, his friend and girlfriend and I came here for a little double-date brunch on a Monday around 10am, and it was such a good experience. I ordered the Monte Cristo and it was delicious--crispy on the outside, soft inside, and really satisfying without feeling too heavy. I also got a hot chai, and it ended up being one of my favorite parts of the meal. Perfectly spiced, warm, and comforting. The place had a relaxed vibe for a Monday morning, not too busy but still lively enough to feel cozy. Service was friendly and quick, and we never felt rushed. Definitely a spot I'd come back to for a slow, easy brunch!

    Mont de Cristo
    Grace C.

    Love the Mont!! On Belmont, this diner-esque eatery doesn't have a lot of seating, but weekdays are probably your best bet for no waits. All the employees I've interacted with were welcoming and friendly. The menu features egg benedicts, scrambles, and some of their well-knowns - french toast, monte cristo, and breakfast burrito. There are also a few selections for lunch! I got the mont de cristo and it was delicious! Thick challah bread, ham, swiss cheese, with a sunny-side-up egg - it is an elevated breakfast sandwich. I love a sweet-savory combo, and this hit the spot! The breakfast potatoes were crispy and perfectly fried - not too oily or salty. Every time I've been here has been a great experience! The Mont may not be one of the big-name-breakfast-places in Portland, but they are not to be overlooked!!

    The "Mont" meat scramble and coffee
    Tom T.

    Nice place for an impromptu breakfast with my dog . Sat in the covered patio which was heated . My "Mont meat " scramble with roasted potatoes was great . Host always filled my coffee AND dog bowl with water . Get here early as this place fills up . This could be my new summer breakfast crush .

    Stopped by The Mont on a Saturday morning. The wait was a little longer than expected, especially since it didn't seem very busy inside. They use a sign-in sheet outside and seat guests first come, first served rather than by party size. They were out of waffles, so I went with the chicken and pancakes instead. The chicken came as cutlets, which was different from what I expected, but they were seasoned really well. It was my first time trying that combo and surprisingly, it worked. Overall, a solid first visit and definitely won't be my last.

    Breakfast Burrito
    Shelby E.

    The wife wanted a breakfast burrito, and the powers of yelp brought us here! Put our name down and had enough time to grab coffee while we waited. Ended up sitting outside (heaters weren't on/working, unsure) but the sun made it comfortable! The burrito was delicious and my bacon breakfast sandwich was simple but so. good. I will be thinking of it for days to come!

    Mont de Cristo
    Sharon C.

    Delish breakfast! Loved the mont de cristo. Waited about half an hour on the weekend. Servers are friendly. Street parking rasy to find. Portions for the mont de cristo were biggg. The potatoes are a must!! So perfectly crispy. Love that the $4 coffee is free refills.

    So as a Uber and Lyft driver you discover some great eateries in the Portland Vancouver area. I recently dropped off a rider at this restaurant, and they highly recommended it. I finally had a chance to stop for breakfast. They were not wrong. My waiter Sophie was great, very welcoming and friendly. It is a fairly small place, but very cozy. I ordered the Chorizo Benedict with Avocado and Potatoes. It was fantastic. You always have to add avocado to an order!! I will be back. BTW do not park in the lot next to the restaurant, your can may not be there when your done....

    The Mont Meat. 3 egg omelette, with bacon, potatoes, toast and avocado.

    What a cute little diner and breakfast spot. Staff was super cool. I ordered the Mont Meat, it was a huge portion and really good. I also loved the VHS videos at the bar playing pretty woman on a TV. The size of an iPad. Felt very vintage in there, loved every second.

    Classic Benedict
    Valerie A.

    If I am ever abducted, I hope this is where I'm held hostage! The portions are huge, the menu has a great variety, there are weekend specials, the seating was comfortable, there is an outside dining area as well, everything was very clean and staff was above and beyond friendly. Service was so fast and incredibly accommodating with helpful suggestions. I ordered the meat scramble with no meat and they offered avocado as a substitute at no extra charge and that was brilliant; I never would've even thought to ask for that. We were never rushed, we were checked on several times and we were allowed to just visit and enjoy each other's company, which is probably a huge perk of going during the week and not the weekend. I can't wait to come back.

    This brunch spot was unfortunately not worth the super long wait. The food was just okay and a bit overpriced...and this is coming from someone visiting from a HCOL city. $6 for a small serving of store bought OJ? Skip! We made the mistake of coming on the weekend, so we waited 1.5 hours to be seated. After placing our order, we had to wait another full hour before our food even came. Service was so slow that we considered leaving multiple times. Maybe this place is understaffed. Food wasn't bad but also wasn't memorable. I ordered the Española scramble with salad, which was just okay. The scramble was a bit bland though. I also could've easily made this same scramble myself without needing to wait 2.5 hours for it. After this meal, my group and I all agreed that we won't come back.

    Bloody Mary
    John W.

    My daughter and I went to Mont on SE Belmont St ,for breakfast. Small restaurant, but don't let that discouraged you. Friendly staff and looking at others plates were generous servings. I ordered my favorite sausage biscuits and gravy with scrambled eggs. My daughter had the breakfast burrito with ham. She took half home. My biscuits were perfectly done, with a slight crunch to them. I also ordered a Bloody Mary, nice. All in I would recommend this place. The staff were wonderful. Food was generous and tasty. Check them out if you can.

    Garden Benedict!
    Emily M.

    everyone was super nice and service was quick and easy! the garden benedict was easily the best eggs benedict I have ever had. the hollandaise sauce was so creamy. I am dreaming of going back!!

Immaculate atmosphere and the exact sort of thing we were looking for for breakfast. We didn't get her name but saw on the receipt her name might have been Davi, she was such a bundle of light and life, so attentive and kind! She immediately gave us wonderful recommendations which we all adored. The table ordered praline bacon to share (do yourself a favor and get this), one ordered the praline bacon waffle, another ordered the bananas foster waffle, and I got the seasonal vegetable hash. We were all in HEAVEN with what we ordered. From the first bite to the last it we were all absolutely stunned by how delicious and well made everything was. I savored every bite as did my compatriots. One gal ordered a couple things to go for her family (huevos rancheros for the hubby and cinnamon rolls for her kiddos) and our waitress Davi recommended they bring out the cinnamon rolls unfired so that she could pop them in the oven when she got home after a short drive. It was such good attention to detail that felt like such a friendly offer. Absolute superstars, the lot of you. Next time I'm back in Portland I'm absolutely spoiling some friends here with what I can only describe as a transcendent experience.

I know they get busy on weekends but we had no problem making a reservation and being seated promptly indoors. Their indoor space can get quite loud. They do have a covered side patio as well. We ordered some of their classic dishes: chicken and waffles, shrimp and grits, banana foster French toast. Everything was absolutely delicious. I did feel some sticker shock at the prices ($17-24 ish) but the portions are quite large. They do have a kids menu as well as a full bar. Customer service was excellent, with a seemingly genuinely friendly server. Though they were busy, it was easy to get assistance as needed. The decor is wonderfully charming. Overall, Screen Door might not be an every-weekend kind of thing, but for an out-of-town visitor, a special occasion, or craving you just can't shake - it's absolutely worth the stop.

Their muscles are OUT OF THIS WORLD. Truly, the best I've ever had. This beats living in the southeast on the coast, any west-coast seafood restaurant, and every place I've ever enjoyed in Italy. They've certainly topped the muscle game. Highly recommend Olympic Provisions. I will gladly vouch that the negative reviews are from the haters, just to hate.

Between the genuinely friendly hospitality and the flavor combinations, this spot hits it out of the park and is a must for sandwich lovers.

It comes loaded with a generous portion of grilled mortadella and melted provolone cheese, perfectly moistened with a tangy mustard aioli. The fresh lettuce and bell peppers added a satisfying crunch to every bite. Chefwich - K-Town Steak Sandwich (5/5): A limited-time creation packed into a banh mi roll. It had a generous portion of perfectly tender and sweet bulgogi steak that pairs with their melted jack cheese. The gochujang mayo sauce had a subtle and sweet heat, while the fresh kimchi added crunch and slight acidity to balance the rich meat. Elote Tater Tots (5/5): Definitely a creative side dish. The tots were perfectly fried and topped elote style with cotija cheese, pairing well with the smoky chipotle mayo on the side.

The restaurant has a spacious layout with plenty of seating options both inside and outside.
