Best Breakfast and Brunch Places in Laval

"Since 1942, Beauty’s Luncheonette has been serving up generous portions of their lovingly cooked Jewish-inspired breakfast and lunch fare in their timelessly cool retro 50s diner on the corner of Saint-Urbain and Mont-Royal. In fact, Beauty’s is one of the oldest operating brunch joints in town, and depending on who you ask, it might just be Montreal's first. Beauty’s serves all the classic brunch stapes, including full breakfasts, fresh-pressed orange juice, salads, sandwiches, pancakes, and waffles, but also several unique specialties including their coveted bagel lox platter and downright legendary mishmash omelette, loaded with salami, hot dogs, green peppers, and fried onions."

"This Mont Royal mainstay got its start in 1942 when newlyweds Hymie and Freda Shkolnick (RIP) took over Bancroft Snack Bar across from what once was a hockey rink. Word about Freda’s mish-mash omelette and Hymie’s bowling nickname “Beauty” quickly spread, and the rest is history. Nowadays it’s hard to come by a blue booth or counter stool without a short lineup, but the wait is nothing that a Beauty’s Special—a bagel sandwich with lox, red onion, capers and cream cheese—can’t make better."

"The Beautys Special and the Mish-Mash are why people have been queuing up outside the doors of this Montreal institution since 1942: a bagel with smoked salmon, cream cheese, tomato, and red onion, and an omelette with hot dogs, salami, onions, and green peppers, respectively. According to the owner, no matter how many times you’ll try to recreate these simple dishes at home, you will keep coming back for that good ol’ Beautys taste."

"Known for its lavish dishes and friendly staff, restaurant L’Avenue is hands down the go-to spot for early breakfasts and brunches that draw out until late afternoon!"

"The fabulously popular Régine offers a whopper of a breakfast menu as of 9 a.m., Wednesday to Sunday. Its quality menu, known for being fancier than standard Montreal breakfast diner fare, hasn’t suffered from the transition to takeout either. Available on UberEats, DoorDash, SkipTheDishes and their own website, the menu includes items like corn waffles with smoked salmon, grilled cheese with duck, and a hearty “Sugar Shack brunch.” Régine’s sister café, Janine, also offers a full breakfast and brunch menu on all major delivery platforms."

"Far from the glitz of downtown and the scene of the Plateau, Rosemont offers a glimpse at the gritty side of Montreal, and brunch at Régine Café is an unmissable experience. On warm summer weekends, people line up for hours just to snag a table. Inside, it's a bustling scene, with servers slinging decadent, inviting plates—and eager brunchers waiting to gobble up them up."

"The heritage building of Le Mount Stephen hotel carries itself grandly with vaulted ceilings, dangling chandeliers and plush seating. That forms a beautiful setting for a proper British brekkie and brunch, dishing out as many full English plates as they do poached eggs atop avo toasts—scones and duct fat potatoes on the side, of course. Given your surroundings, it won’t be long before being tempted by luxury add-ons like a make-your-own mimosa or Aperol spritz packages either."

"The old is celebrated in new ways at Bar George, a modern-day rendezvous set in the grand heritage home once belonging to Sir George Stephen. Honouring the former resident’s roots, our chefs cook up contemporary takes on classic U.K. fare, spiked with Québécois quirks, while our bar pours..."

"Welcome to Faberge, located in the Mile End district, this iconic brunch spot remains lively, with its family-friendly ambiance and excellent drinks menu featuring anything and everything from spicy Bloody Marys to mimosas. One of the more famed dishes is the chicken waffle that comes with a boneless fried chicken, a side of spicy sriracha coleslaw and a bowl of fresh fruits. The portions here are huge and the cozy and bright decor keeps residents and visitors coming back for more."

"For breakfast, head to Bistro Le Valois, about a 14-minute walk from the Pie-IX metro station. During the warmer months, you can enjoy a beautiful breakfast on the patio. The portions are generous and affordable. I ordered the French crepes with maple syrup and my fiancé ordered the French crepes with Nutella."

"Located in the heart of the Mile End, Nouveau Palais is a spot much loved by locals. The cozy restaurant, which has kept many of the trappings of the former diner in which it is housed, consistently draws in a lively crowd, which converges on the restaurant’s booths to enjoy classic comfort food and drinks late into the night. It is not uncommon for a calm dinner at Nouveau Palais to turn into a rowdy dance party."
