Good food, pleasant service. BEWARE THOUGH Our server insisted I have to pay tips 15% minimum. Waiter explained it to me that although tips are not included in the final price I have to pay them because otherwise it will be deducted from waiter’s salary. IF that’s true I can’t promote a place such as this one. I’m not against tips. I’m against place with terrible exploitative practices and forced tipping culture (regardless of how much). Left a terrible taste in my mouth after a good meal.

We went in the evening for dinner and it was quiet, and the nice kind of quiet where you can hold a conversation without shouting. Service was excellent, even for us annoying tourists trying our best to say thanks in French and stuff. Food was great too. Would recommend the burger, so moist and tender. The beer list is very different than the menu so ask for the latest, but they had some good blonde beers on tap. We were too full for dessert which is a shame, as the cakes looked delicious.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Universel Déjeuners et Grillades, and I must say, it was a delightful experience! The meal was absolutely delicious, and I truly loved the vibe; the aesthetic of the place was charming and inviting, creating the perfect atmosphere for a wonderful brunch. A special shoutout to our server, Yousir, who was incredibly professional and attentive. He really catered to our needs and added a personal touch to our dining experience. If you're lucky enough to have him as your server, you're in for a treat! Overall, the experience was demure and cutesy, just as I hoped it would be. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a great meal in a lovely setting. Can't wait to go back! 🥰😌✨

A classic American breakfast in downtown Montreal. Service is good. Each dish is huge. Hard to finish all by our ownself. The food is good, meets the standard. It might not be a wow. But this is a good place to have breakfast, brunch or lunch with friends. There are both indoor and outdoor tables.

**Universel Déjeuners et Grillades: A Delightful Lunch Experience** *Recommended by a family friend from Toronto, Universel Déjeuners et Grillades did not disappoint.* Coffee: We began our meal with a regular coffee that felt like heaven in a cup. The rich aroma and perfect balance made it a great start to our lunch. Dishes Ordered: Bacon Egg Benedict: Perfectly poached eggs with crispy bacon, served on a fresh English muffin, all smothered in a silky hollandaise sauce. The flavors were spot on, and the dish was well-prepared. Asparagus, Ham, and Swiss Cheese Omelette: A fluffy omelette filled with tender asparagus, savory ham, and melted Swiss cheese. The combination was delightful, with each ingredient complementing the others perfectly. Mushroom Egg Benedict: Another excellent variation of the classic dish, featuring sautéed mushrooms that added an earthy richness to the creamy hollandaise and perfectly cooked eggs. *Service: The service was smooth and efficient, accommodating groups of any size with ease. The staff was attentive, ensuring that our needs were met throughout the meal. Presentation and Portions: One of the standout aspects of Universel Déjeuners et Grillades is the presentation and portion sizes. Each dish was beautifully presented, making the meal visually appealing. The generous portions ensured that we left feeling satisfied and content. Overall Experience: Universel Déjeuners et Grillades offers a wonderful dining experience with delicious food, excellent service, and a welcoming atmosphere. Whether you're in the mood for a classic breakfast or something a bit more unique, this restaurant is sure to impress.

The food was pretty good. It’s a normal breakfast place. What I like about this place is you have a lot of options either for the drinks or the food . but for the service it was really slow. It took us time to get our drinks. We got the food before as for the atmosphere. It’s a cute place. You have a terrace outside or you can sit inside. It’s pretty cute.

During my visit to Montreal, I had the pleasure of dining at Universel Déjeuners et Grillades twice, and it was a delightful experience both times! The food was absolutely delicious and incredibly filling, making it the perfect spot for breakfast. The atmosphere of the restaurant was clean and green, which added a refreshing touch to the overall dining experience. One of the highlights for me was the La Terre smoothie. It was clean, light, and packed with nutrients – a perfect complement to the hearty breakfast offerings. Every dish I tried was well-prepared and satisfying, truly showcasing the restaurant's commitment to quality. While the food and ambiance were fantastic, the service was just okay. I understand that the restaurant can get busy, but I felt that the level of mannerism in my interaction with the server could have been better. Perhaps this is the usual service style here, but it didn't quite meet the expectations I have from other restaurants. Despite this, I still had a wonderful time at Universel Déjeuners et Grillades and would recommend it for anyone looking for a great breakfast spot in Montreal. The food and atmosphere certainly make up for any minor shortcomings in service.

I ate at the restaurant twice, and while the food is decent, my second experience was TERRIBLE. The food took a long time to arrive, and when we went to pay, we didn t want to leave a tip because we were using the corporate card. I paid and kept eating, but they came to threaten me twice for not leaving a tip. The second time, the manager even told me not to eat there if I wasn t going to tip, being extremely rude to me. I said I understood and would pay the tip separately on my card, and then they charged me almost the price of a dish as a tip. I ll never return and wouldn t recommend it to anyone because the service is really bad.

This is the first time Ive left a bad review for a restaurant but the food was terrible! Everything was tasteless apart from my omelette which was inedible because it was almost only filled with raw onions! Even my 7 year old daughter and my partner didnt like it, which never happens for brunch. All for the modest sum of $80 for two adults and one child. One thing is certain I will not return there and advise against it. Any other lunch restaurant is more worth it.

I give this restaurant 5 stars. I had dinner yesterday with my boyfriend, we had mussels and fries and seafood risotto, as you see the quantity is generous and they are so good too. We really enjoyed ourselves. The music was good. The servers are very warm. We waited a little (20min) but it was worth it. Value for money is great. Thank you very much for this beautiful evening. Definitely worth a try, you wont regret it. And to come back too, that s for sure! Well done

Average breakfast, nothing special.

August 22, 2024

Thomas was a very rude server. He talks too fast and is condescending. Made a scene over no tip for mediocre service. I have worked as a server before and have not received tips and have not made a scene over not receiving a tip.

August 22, 2024

This restaurant had extremely poor service from the beginning to end of the dining experience. Thomas, our server was short with us while seating us and taking our orders. He forgot my friend s coffee and he did not serve us for the second half of our stay (another server took over). Normally i have no problem with this, but after the *other server* gave us the bill, and as we were leaving, Thomas practically ran after us to yell at our friend for not tipping him. He accused her of not being from here and thus not understanding tipping culture . Regardless, he did not deserve one, and is not entitled to one. Not only was his service subpar, but he stopped us in front of the whole restaurant. Based on other reviews here, this seems like a management level issue. Additionally, when we called and spoke to the manager to address this said he saw the interaction, yet he did not step in.

Excellent atmosphere but the plates are not very full for the price. $15 for a croissant and bacon sandwich... The service was ok. No hand soap in the male/female bathroom.

August 22, 2024

Went there during a visit to Montreal. The food was great and all. After I paid the bill and put the tip that I want, the server came to me and told me they have a 15% minimum tip policy, and I was like I didnt know. He just stood there waiting for the extra money to match the 15%, and he was like you still need to pay 6$ more. I see this as unbelievably rude! A tip is completely optional and I get to tip as much as I want/can. You dont get to stand there waiting for me to pay the rest in cash or whatever. Despite the good food, i am not coming back again because of this mandatory tipping policy.

Although the waiter was quick and efficient he unfortunately served us two ordered dishes like risotto but pasta instead. I refused mine and my daughter accepted hers but the waiter didnt listen to her and left suddenly with the two plates (he said he hadnt heard rissoto), arriving at our table the risotto Was of poor execution rather rice stuck in a tomato pepper sauce. The TV above our table was on an Emergency 911 type show at 7 p.m. in downtown Montreal on a Friday evening, it seems out of context to me. The music was horrible probably to satisfy the staff more than the customers. There was a time when the brothers who ran these establishments everything was almost perfect from the welcome to the outing and especially the food. Too bad

We were looking for a place that satisfied several different palates. Universal Dejeuners et Grill did just that. The service was spot on, and the food tasted amazing. We (three of us) settled on pizzas of three different types, and it was great. We had a couple of tasty cocktails as well. Prices are quite reasonable for the portion and quality. If you are undecided about any particular restaurant, consider Universel.

Used to come here a lot after meetings and would invite friends and colleagues there and it used to be a great place. But today, they ve decided to put mushrooms in the duck risotto and refused to change it when I asked. I was told that I did not mention it when ordering, however, there is no mention of shopped mushrooms in this dish on the menu. I surely won t be coming back.

Despite the Busier than usual, I was seated quick, my order was taken in a prompt manner, and the food arrived very quickly. Everything was well presented and tasty. As expected from an expensive fare in a busy part of town. I just cant give five stars because the glass of water was dirty, and the water, along with the refill, tasted foul. Still, an excellent place to frequent! Vegetarian options: Theres a selection of vegan meals, and although there arent many, there are still a few non-bacon and sausage options in the others.

Having visited this restaurant several times for lunch, I recently decided to try their breakfast. I was pleasantly surprised by the diversity of the breakfast menu, which I found to be more varied than their lunch offerings. However, I noticed that a majority of the dishes included pork, which might not cater to the dietary preferences of all patrons. The vegetarian omelette I ordered was copious, thoughtfully prepared and delicious. This was a delightful contrast to the lunch options I had tried earlier, which were rather ordinary. One point to note was that tea/coffee, which was included in the price, was not initially offered. After waiting for some time, we had to ask for it, which was a bit of an oversight on the part of the service. Overall, I had a positive experience and look forward to seeing how the menu evolves in the future. Vegetarian options: Some nice vegetarian options are available. Dietary restrictions: A majority of breakfast options include pork.

Decent food, poor service. Our waiter tonight was inept and never checked on us. We had to flag him down in order to get him to even refill our water. I asked him for a drink three times and never received it. He was very kind and cheerful but he did not take care of the most basic things. We spent over two hours there just because it took him so long to take our orders and to bring us the bill. Because the service was exceptionally poor, I tipped 5%. While we were walking out, the waiter cornered me and told me that he is paid on tips alone and I am required to tip 15%. I complied and gave the additional ten percent that was demanded. I never tip under 20%, but the service was exceptionally poor and slow so I tipped a lower amount to compensate for the lost time and for the poor experience. The waiter was kind until it came to the conversation about the tips. I wouldn t have posted a poor review if it weren t for them going out of their way to force a tip out of me. So we are clear, I was in a group of only three people.

Very rich and abundant breakfast, I have no complaints with the food, the portions are very good and I think they are worth their price, the service is poor since although it was not full at the time we went, they served us with a lot of delay, it is just an aspect that they could improve.

Lots of choices on the menu. The portions were fair for the burgers, not generous and not stingy - decent sized meat and fries. Flavour was pretty good, but again neither great nor bad. Service was mediocre. They were distracted, even though the place was almost empty. Pricing needs some refinement. For example, swapping out your fries for a salad incurs a $3 surcharge.

We went over the weekend for brunch and this place needs to work on their drinks and food quality. I dont see myself returning in the future. Very busy and noisy restaurant.

Ive been here several times and always had a good experience. The prices are reasonable and the food is tasty. The staff on weekends are very pleasant and attentive. I also very much enjoy the atmosphere. I will definitely be visiting again.

One of our favorite brunch places in the city. The benedicts and omelettes are delicious, and the staff is always kind and friendly, even when busy! Were also fans of the pitchers of mimosas if our days allow that. Dietary restrictions: They have gluten-free toast and coconut yogurt parfaits for our vegan friends.

Delicious and great service! Probably the place in Montreal with the largest menu, there is almost everything! Very practical for groups who all have different tastes, there is something for everyone! The maple sweet potato soup of the day was incredible, they also have a good selection of wines and cocktails! I recommend!

Went to this restaurant at a different address before and I was mind blown. Was extremely disappointed this time around. The service was the lowest Ive ever gotten. Asked for a latte and it was the worst coffee Ive ever had. I returned it because it wasnt even enjoyable. Our waitress didnt even ask us once if our food was okay, the service lacked. The food is good but nothing crazy. If you eat here, go for something that isnt available at other breakfast spots!

My friends and I chose this place as it is accessible for everyone to meet after 3 years. The food was good and delicious,but we did not like the way that they approaches us to leave the restaurant, as we were enjoying our stay, they asked us to leave as there was a line up waiting to be served.

I love the food, been going there for years on the weekends. The music has gotten really bad (autotune garbage) and too loud. Its so annoying Ive walked out without ordering twice because of it. Also, they used to dim the lights a bit at night to give the place a nice mood, now its full lights, full loud autotune music. Ive been going less and less just because of that.

From the moment I walked through the door I was treated like a rockstar. Ali was gracious and kind. He even was patient as I practiced ordering my meal in French. The food was well prepared and the price was fair given the area. I will return.

December 22, 2023

Very Very disappointed on our last visit. The Food was really NOT GOOD. Maybe they changed the Chef???? On Top of that, the waiter was not satisfied with the Tip and asked us for 20 percent??? TIP should be an optional thing decided by the customer only...Can you imagine a Tip more than both taxes combined??? They should put it on their signboard or on the menu (COMPULSORY 20% TIPS) so that people are aware and decide if they would still like to eat there or not.....
