Lovely place with extremely nice staff, classic breakfast and limitless coffee for a good price (not really much more a person needs 🙂) Tried Special du cafe, which was filling and good tasting (something like Scottish breakfast )

I like this place a lot. It's a cute ma & pa shop, run by these awesome ladies. The food is good and a fair price. They open up early for you esrly morning risers. They offer coffee with your meals, unless you just order a side. But the prices are still great because you have unlimited refills if you like. They are fast and they don't rush you out.

The dishes were a bit stale and didn't have much of a taste. It's a suitable breakfast, but lacking somewhat in flavor. Although the service was okay, the wait was quite long. You can see them making the food right in front of your eyes, so that's a plus for me.

Great breakfast spot! We sampled a bit of everything. We asked for crispy bacons, and they are nice and crispy! The toasts are buttered with real butter. The crepe is so yummy with maple syrup (extra 75 cents for the syrup). The beans are the saltier type with pepper. Love the creton as well! Nice speedy service!

We had a visit to Quebec City from Long Island New York, We found this Gem on Yelp. Yes it is truly Awesome. My dinner was excellent the atmosphere was very pleasing.Hope to come again one day. We went without a reservation and were happy to be seated at the bar, it was quite pleasant.

The place isn't large but seems seems popular with the locals. There are four booths, a few tables and a breakfast/lunch counter. Service was prompt and efficient. Food was decent. Definitely a place to go if you want to experience the locals. Get there early, it fills up fast

Café Mont Royal is no longer what it used to be. Table service has been replaced by tablets. Coffee is not included in lunch. They even charge $0.50 for a glass of tap water!! I will probably never go back. Its a shame, its lost all the charm it had before.

December 21, 2024

I really liked this warm place. Sit at the counter and exchange a few words about politics or good living in Saguenay with the dear cooks/waitresses and my neighbors. I loved the atmosphere and the way this place was run. I went this week expecting to have a similar experience. Its a new owner, I think its a shame that he keeps this warm name that we know. Its a small place, you can be at the end of the room and have a conversation with the other end. So this week when I went and found this new sanitized place, I was very sad. Each place has to order with tablets, no contact, almost no words were exchanged with the waitress and there was a lack of the love from before. No knowledge of Mount Royal (yo it s not a mountain btw) and no human contact.

December 16, 2024

Its not edible, everything is overcooked, rock hard potatoes, overcooked bacon, overcooked sausages, banana good for making banana bread, I almost forgot the moistness of my lunch. I would be embarrassed to sell its first and last experience

December 16, 2024

Forgot what it was before No menu, but a tablet for ordering. Or you cant pay cash! Everything is Extra even the ketchup There is no more comfort and feelings of welcome Its gone cold cold cold The atmosphere is cold, the service is bad and the waiting time is extremely long. Having bought a restaurant that was an institution and making it this bad is almost impossible. If its a year before bankruptcy itll be good.

Restaurant has changed ownership. Big noisy fan in the restaurant, 5 employees for 6 customers and its Rush. The same dishes as in the past, but more expensive with cheaper ingredients. They also replaced part of the counter with a plate warmer... Sad to say, but the Mont Royal café is no longer what it used to be. At $46 for 2 plates, you might as well go to Cora or another mediocre lunch restaurant.

Really sad - we lost a GEM - new owner, the staff that had been there forever (who were wonderful!) are no longer there, the food isnt the same, its such a shame. if the restaurant wants to do well it should bring back the original staff.

This used to be my favorite place for lunch, but since there is a new owner, the restaurant refuses cash. I will go to Rodi in the future. Thank you for the beautiful memories. You are part of the problem.

I am changing my opinion which was 5 stars. There has been a change of ownership. The baked beans which is one of their specialties was not cooked. The service non-existent. 2 people left the restaurant due to lack of service and 2 others did not eat their lunch. The waitress even blocked the front door????? We are 12 customers for 5 people who work and the service is rotten. 15 minutes before having only a coffee I no longer recommend this restaurant. Really discouraging. If there is no change, this restaurant which is an institution will close.

July 23, 2024

Closed in full Monday morning. Phew, I advise the new owner to adjust if he wants to avoid closure.

We used to go to this place for lunch at least once a week, the food, the staff, the super pleasant atmosphere....unfortunately we went today and we were surprised to see some seats on the benches except that before there was a queue to go to lunch....thats when we understood that they are new owners, the friendly staff is no longer there, you have to wait a very long time in plus we had to tell the waitress how they made the clubs lunch before and whats more the potatoes are no longer the same it tastes like oil its disgusting, the toast you receive and there are 8 people he touch, 2 small strips of bacon lost between jamb seriously being the owner I would be embarrassed to serve this to my customers....in short I wish them good luck with their ideas to revolutionize the place with screens to see the orders.. ...if no one goes there anymore...well soon have a drive-thru and doordash...I hope that everyone who went there before wont encourage this place anymore!

Mini plate for big price. Barely cooked bacon and sausages. I asked to recook the bacon but it came back raw too. Mini portion of cold potatoes. My girlfriend never received her lunch! ! Finally, we were charged more than what was advertised. Never again ! Avoid if you are hungry.

When we saw this cafe we only wanted one thing. We stopped there. A little vintage decor, very small and cute. Smiling waitresses, the day starts well. My husband and I order an omelette each, without ham for me I dont eat pork. 2 omelettes arrive with ham, so far nothing serious, the error is human, my husband points it out to the waitress who takes a less friendly face and tells us that it was us who asked her the same 2 omelettes (I think its difficult to forget that you dont eat pork when you dont eat it) In order not to throw away the ham omelette (which was planned) my husband offers some eat . And then we hear the waitresses talking behind our backs (so unprofessional) the space is open, a little respect. My husband asks for the wifi code, he is rebuffed, he is told that there is no wifi. They no longer look at us, they no longer provide us with coffee and especially when it comes time to pay, they charge us for 2 omelettes hams and one with cheese (I didnt think the establishment had 2 eggs ready). Im not talking about the quality of the food being really average. In short, a wasted morning, we will never set foot there again.

The service leaves something to be desired, portions much too small for the price and no flavor! The only good thing I found is that the coffee is good. - the worst baked beans I have ever eaten! - Childs portion of potato in frying without taste / seasoning! - My scrambled egg was juicy! - 2 slices of bacon the thickness of a sheet of paper! - I never managed to get my coffee refilled! on the way to Tim-Horton
