Eggspectation Complex Desjardins

Despite its name suggesting otherwise, this restaurant is not just for takeout; there was ample seating available. The chef kindly assisted us English speakers in navigating the predominantly French menu.

I visited this restaurant for a quick lunch and ordered gyoza and salmon sashimi.

This place is quite unusual. It's a combination of a boba shop that also offers sushi to go, with a separate sit-down sushi restaurant on the side. We were a bit confused at first, but ultimately just wanted to enjoy our meal.

I visited early on a Sunday morning, restaurant wasn't busy and was sat right away. Another diner was working on a laptop and another reading the newspaper. It was a relaxing place to have coffee and the waiter was always around checking if I needed more. I visited Montreal and bagels were recommended so I ordered Lox on Bagel. I could tell the bagels were fresh and local and tasted the slight sweetness. I cleaned the plate and was happy to get a full breakfast for the day of sightseeing and doing lots of walking. Wonderful atmosphere.

Great food; great service. My favourite breakfast restaurant in Montreal. And they have great food selections for lunch and dinner, too. Eggcelent! :-)
