Cafe Mont-Royal in Chicoutimi

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 Table service has been replaced by tablets.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.

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.

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

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.

Cold sausages inside. Too long to receive the invoice. The baked beans were also lukewarm. A little disappointing for a meal for two at $50 after tax and tip.

Friendly staff and relaxed atmosphere. Parking: Parking on the street or next to the restaurant.

Good typical movie cafe atmosphere, hard to describe but very satisfied.

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.

Friendly fast and delicious

We recommend this cafe. Superb breakfast for our arrival in Saguenay. Simple but effective and hearty cuisine. Impeccable and fast service.

Very warm welcome, comforting morning meal.

Depuis la vente , le nouveau restaurant nest plus que lombre de ce quil était. Pas bon , nest plus chaleureux, etc .Je ne viendrai plus jamais ici . Dès mon entré, et la vue de mon assiette , je trouvais ça bizarre . Et bien , plus les mêmes bonnes personnes, ni les bon déjeuner. Désolant.....Allez aux As sur saint Paul blvd . Beaucoup mieux!!!!

Great place

The portions are small, the staff very friendly, good service.

Lovely retro place for a classic American lunch

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.

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

They only serve lunches and no longer accept cash payments. Did not think about the clientele of workers around them.

Warm, delicious and reasonably priced. All this with very pleasant service

No cash

I recommend this café where we had lunch upon arriving in Saguenay. The cuisine is simple but hearty and good. Very friendly staff.

Incredible service! We had several dishes from the menu, not too bad but the portions were not huge and it was overcooked for our tastes but we recommend the French toast without hesitation!

Nice little bustling restaurant. A great discovery, inexpensive, well, stir your hot chocolate before drinking it.

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.

The food is very good and the service is courteous, the staff are very kind and have a lot of experience all team work! I recommend

Simply excellent with very affordable prices!!

Always a pleasure to come to brunch here! The staff are really welcoming. Its very nice. Not my first visit and not my last!! ps: Too bad the NON-lunch menu is only available during the week, and not at opening.

Their beans are excellent

Waited a very long time and served 6 people arriving after us, really no service

Delicious

Very good lunch, excellent service and prices are reasonable!

Nice restaurant great service and good food

Best price ratio in Saguenay for lunches in restaurants, for a quality well equivalent to the rest of the places where you can have lunch. I highly recommend.

Service

Effective, simple, good. Smiling, no-fuss service. Perfect for a quick lunch before dawn!

Unpretentious restaurant. Excellent service and fast! The crepes are delicious, very good price.

A café that takes you back in time, good generous plates for a price that no longer exists elsewhere, their crepes taste like my grandmothers. All with a style and a warm retro atmosphere. I went there yesterday and today, and I will be there again tomorrow.

Great place!

The service is excellent and the lunches are delicious, I have no say in the matter and I recommend it

Should pay attention to their fries so that they are fresh

Very good service AND quality of food

A nice, friendly little place. The waitresses are attentive and helpful. The price/quality ratio is good, but the portions are small. The baked beans were a little bland, but it was made better with ketchup.

Good and very simple

The best breakfast joint I have ever had in my life.

Good and inexpensive

A. Massif old school breakfast dinner with friendly waitresses and good coffee and a solid breakfast!

The lunches are excellent! The super friendly staff I recommend!

Very good breakfast, fast and efficient service.

Beautiful little family-friendly and welcoming place. Good value for money. Good home-cooked meal like at moms. Impeccable service. 30 min order/eat/pay with a smile. No extra charge for orange juice hehe

Not too expensive, good atmosphere like in the old lunch restaurants and excellent food.

For me as a European, it was a great experience. A traditional diner run by the family and as a guest you immediately feel at home. Delicious breakfast and nice conversation. Really highly recommended. A great experience for me as a European. A truly traditional diner run by the family and as a guest you immediately feel at home. Delicious breakfast and nice conversation. Really highly recommended. For my part, in Europe, this is a formidable experience. A restaurant is very traditional, served by the family, and is sent immédiatement chez soi. Petit déjeuner délicieux et conversation agréable. Vraiment à recommender.

The employees are friendly and fast. Very good food but I would have liked a little more potatoes.

The lunches are really excellent

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.

They serve the best crepes in town!!! Its a beautiful little restaurant located in the city center with a small American diner atmosphere. The staff is in a good mood, ideal for a good start to the day. The dishes are simple but very good and very affordable. Its good home cooking.

Mediocre lunch, disgusting coffee, dog ham, lousy baked beans Not even eating 1/4

Great lunch thank you! I would have liked a Benedictine but hey!!

Good classic lunch restaurant in Chicoutimi

Nice little restaurant

Very cozy little café! Ultra fast service when you are alone (less than 4 minutes) The cretons are excellent and the bread is always fresh. Come take a look.

Trebien

Beautiful, good, inexpensive and all-day lunches! I would have appreciated bigger plates

Excellent food & service.

Good lunch, quite busy and restricted, even on a weekday.

Simple, good, inexpensive.

Plate 2 eggs bacon, toast, some potatoes and a tomato. Very minimal plate. I will avoid it next time. Damage

Very good lunch! Like at home Very nice little local restaurant Fast and professional service

An institution in Chicoutimi Everything is good ... but no parking for bicycles

Nice little lunch spot!

Great service and excellent breakfast.

Super welcoming restaurant, good and well located

Good food, good service, cheap

Friendly place, good food, good prices, great service and extra and efficient staff!

Went with my son yesterday morning. Couldn t believe that the woman who served us said oh my god the English to the other woman she was working with after taking our order. I am an English speaker who emigrated to Canada my son who is fluently bilingual placed the order for the two of us. It is a shame that this kind of thing happens in Canada.

A small restaurant like 30 years ago. Simple, very good and good service

Breakfast coffee, doesnt seem like much but the employees are friendly and smiling. Food is good

A superb place for a savory breakfast. The service is fast and the food is good. It s clearly a place for regulars and we love it! I recommend.

Courteous staff Good choice of lunches best baked beans in town

Place for low-cost worker

Nice place and warm welcome. Outstanding service. To start the day off right, have a good breakfast at the Café Mont Royal restaurant.

Very nice place very good very nice and not expensive

Perfect breakfast, warm atmosphere, a place not to be missed if you go to Chicoutimi

Great. Food and welcome at the top!!! A must for breakfast.

Good food, friendly and fast service. A must for us when we come to Chicoutimi.

Good service and really low prices.

Great food go early always packed...

A perfect canteen for a balanced diet. The crepes were incredible! Generous and tasty! A must if you go there!

Always very good and exemplary service

French language. Cash or (Canadian) debit only. No Visa, MasterCard, etc. Food was good, service was good, employees were friendly. Would recommend.

Few vegetarian choices, no health products. On the other hand, the coffee always remains hot and the staff is friendly.

An omelette with vegetables would have brightened up this somewhat tasteless plate; good service.

Very good home cooking good service very affordable price

Good, open super early and really cheap! I adore

You can have lunch all day and the famous baked beans

Warm welcome and fast services despite the current situation in the world.

Simply WOW!!! Good and fast service. Excellent cuisine. I go back there as soon as Im in Chicoutimi. Thanks 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

Waiting in the entrance, no welcome not even a hello Ill be with you in 1 minute which would have been enough, waitress seems to be stressed Bin stiff despite the amount of people she takes care of all the business, serves a glass of dripping milk and yet she saw that it was dripping! Small portion and no particular flavor, the baked beans are ordinary! We will not return there again because of the pitiful service!

Picturesque!

Little place with tasty food! The Super Special Breakfast cost only 9,75 and there was eggs, sausages, bacon, cretons and ham! Big plate besides the toast and coffee. The ladies that work there are so friendly :)

Nice clean place and good service thank you

Great service, very good lunch. To see again during our next visit to Chicoutimi.

Friendly staff! Very simple no-fuss lunch

Super pretty and very delicious! Very reasonable prices and the cafe is run by women. A very rare thing so come and support them if you are in the area! :)

They only do lunches but its the best in downtown Chicoutimi

Best traditional lunch in Chicoutimi
