    Hot Chai
    Lena T.

    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!

    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.

    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 .

    Mont de Cristo

    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!!

    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!

    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

    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.

    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!!

    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.

We decided on outdoor patio seating since the weather was nice & it was generally quieter outside. We were people watching for a bit and noticed that our fellow restaurant goers were waiting for quite a bit, but we weren't in a hurry, so it was fine. When our waiter eventually tended to us, he was incredibly friendly & apologetic, owning up to the delay being on him, but we were cool with it -poor guy was working a double shift. We started off with deep-fried okra, I ordered the fried chicken meal, & hubby ordered the burger. I got to pick the chicken pieces I wanted, so I went with 2 thighs, thinking they'd be smaller pieces, so I could maybe finish my meal. I opted for collard greens as well. The food came relatively quickly and was super-fresh. The fried okra bits were piping hot down to the last bite. They went well with the spicy aioli. We hung onto the aioli so hubby could dip his fries. My meal was so good. The chicken was incredibly tender and flavorful. The batter was just perfect and crisp. Mashed potatoes were smooth and creamy. Gravy was rich and well-seasoned. Collard greens were so tasty. The balance of textures was just perfection. I ended up having to pack up a piece of chicken because it was so much food, but I enjoyed every bite I was able to take of my meal. I appreciated their welcoming vibe & the beautiful pride balloon arch inside the restaurant. I appreciated the friendly service. I appreciated the thoughtfully and expertly made food. It was a perfect way to end my culinary experience for this Portland visit.

But when our server was with us, they were very nice and patient with my questions and requests. It's a bit loud when the place is on the full side, making it difficult to have a conversation. I wouldn't bring my girlfriend who is hard of hearing, at least with a group. I'd be curious to try more of the menu. I was very much not wowed by the breakfast. The beverages were however very nice, and I recently had the cobbler dessert and it looked amazing and tasted better. We had the coffee (Extracto, love.), I had a really good hef and my mother a very well balanced Bellini that I was very pleasantly surprised with trying. From what I saw, the lunch sounds very good and I'd be more apt to recommend folks give that a shot if they happened to be going there too. I'm not sure if I'd recommend as a must go stop. Vibe wise, the ambience is overall really nice. I think having rolled flatware, even with just upgraded napkins, would better complete the aesthetic you initially see and feel. This would also connect with the price point of the food and quality of the beverages. As a fellow server, on that note I would expect more consistent stronger visual appearance standards with servers. (Sorry guys! But some of you looked great!) Overall, I'd definitely join a friend for coffee and lunch over there in the future. Just wouldn't be my top pick for a celebratory brunch or intimate dinner with a date or friends and fam.

She handled it professionally and ironically we saw that same homeless man an hour later walking down the same street. (He never asked for any of the services also) Overall, we had an enjoyable breakfast in a bustling area closest to downtown. Reasonable prices and terrific service makes this a spot i would come back in a heartbeat.

Between the genuinely friendly hospitality and the flavor combinations, this spot hits it out of the park and is a must for sandwich lovers. Griddled Mortadella (5/5): An incredibly delicious sandwich that perfectly balances rich, salty, and savory flavors. 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. Logistics Tip: Street parking is surprisingly easy to find in the surrounding area, even on a busy weekend evening. The restaurant has a spacious layout with plenty of seating options both inside and outside.
