Sunny’s Dinette is a gem! The food is fresh, flavorful, and feels homemade.the portions were generous. The service was friendly and fast, with a cozy, welcoming vibe. Perfect spot for breakfast or brunch if you’re looking for something casual yet delicious. Highly recommend!

August 18th - 10am-ish Nice day in Montreal, just before the forecasted deluge that has already hit the GTA. We don’t have to wait long, however, the wait was not really worth the food in terms of quality and quantity for the price paid. I very much dislike giving good people (the owner was there and is super nice and the staff sont très gentilles) 3* reviews but just calling it how it is. The kitchen was kind enough to replace the bacon in my egg sandwich (15CAD) with avocado sans frais, and while that is appreciated, it did little to enhance the overall experience. The food came out at room temperature. I expected it to be piping hot or atleast warm. The coffee was brewed without love and tasted meh. It was also not warm. They had poured it in thermoses and that’s the way to go if you are making and refilling regularly. That was not the case here. The piripiri chicken was the worst we’ve had anywhere! The chicken was tasteless and dry, the marinade hung on the pieces, like laundry hung outside on a muggy day. The couscous was dry (no dash of citrus here). For 20 dollars, it was not worth it. Also gave my wife a headache (probably all the uncooked marinade). All in all, I made a choice and it was not the best choice. With all due respect to the original and current owners. Oh, and very pork heavy menu. Bacon and pork sausage galore. Our best regards to the owners, however. I understand that it is tough to run an eatery post-Covid with all the staff shortages.

The food here was verry delicious. There were many of us so we were able to order a variety of stuff. The service took a bit longer as it was very busy but the staff was really nice and friendly. The restaurant was clean but our baby seat was dirty and the place was a little tight.

MENU HACK: The veggie Benedict has a Parmesan/zucchini fritter as the base instead of country bread. So so so delicious! They should advertise this. Potatoes a bit bland. Salad way better. Very reasonable prices. No line on a Sunday at 1pm!

Absolutely adorable bistro!! The owner is the sweetest - delicious menu and lovely selection of cocktails and wines. We stopped in yesterday - first time in Montreal. We are heading back for brunch today!! You must stop by and try it out.

We tried this restaurant for brunch on a Sunday this summer. It was very hot outside and, despite all the open doors, also quite hot inside. The server was very friendly and attentive. There were several vegetarian options for both sweet and savoury tastes. We tried the french toast of the day (Nutella) and the pancakes. Both were a unique and unexpected experience. The pancakes were quite a bit more fluffy and sturdy than is typical. The french toast was perhaps not dipped in egg? Both were a bit dry. The portions are quite large and one dish could have sufficed both of us if we knew in advance. They sat us at the bench at the back of the restaurant, which had a lovely naturalistic view that was ideal for a calm experience.

Sunny’s comes by the name rightfully - I was greeted with the sunniest welcome when I entered. The food was incredible. The brunch casserole, a breakfast take on poutine, was packed with flavor. The Pancake was so thick, and yet still fluffy, I didn't know such a thing existed. This small adorable diner contains mountains of flavor and personality.

★★★★

Restaurant was full at around 11:30am so we got seated outside. There’s no shade so it got pretty hot. My friends started with an iced coffee and it was very diluted and just tasted like milk. The waitress kindly returned it and made another one which was better. We ordered the bagel and the cauliflower dish. The bagel was good but nothing too special. The fried cauliflower dish with Brussels sprouts, halloumi and hummus was very tasty. Would recommend that dish to share. Overall good service but food was nothing special.

Service was slow, food was disappointing for the price we paid (71 CAD$). Ok coffee but nothing special I had the Casserole and got the equivalent of half a piece of bacon and room temperature potatoes. I don t mind paying a lot, but the experience and food needs to be on top. It wasn t !

Very nice place! We came unannounced and got a table right away. The waitresses were very nice and smiling. On the other hand, the only thing that displeased us was the very long service... the restaurant was not at full capacity and we waited more than 40 minutes to receive our dishes. I would still like to mention that we received our drinks after only 5 minutes of waiting. In that direction, I hope this wait for meals was just an exception since everything else was perfect! I highly recommend, but be prepared to wait a bit before eating.

I had the Cubano and a latte. The latte wasnt strong at all and was more milk than coffee. The sandwich was just ok. The salad had a dressing that I wasnt a fan of. It was quite small inside. The service was a bit slow as there were quite a few people inside I think.

Not worth 60$ for breakfast food , better off making your own.

Food was pretty good, but not everything was as described and the service was pretty bad. My sandwich had been accidentally dropped into the side soup and seemed like it was missing ingredients, and the cocktail I had was probably the worst Ive had at a restaurant. However, the food was overall pretty good.

I took the classic with sausage. There was only one small cold patty. The tomatoes tossed in parsley felt a bit old. Most of my plate was filled with potatoes and there was nothing to spread on the bread. I d go somewhere for a classic breakfast but the other dishes looked good.

Very good overall! We took the breakfast sandwich with the sausage patty, so good! but be careful the potatoes are not included in the price (we didnt know!) Its a bit pricy, 29$ for a sandwich, potatoes and espresso, but I guess thats how it is these days. Service was good also! Would definitely come back

Cute little place. The food in general is pretty simple and could be made at home. We liked it but we were not flabbergasted.

March 22, 2024

Really disappointed with the pan. A dish that finally comes without a pan and on a regular plate with potatoes, a little cheese, bacon and an egg. No bread. In short, poutine. The dish should be called Poutine Sunny. 2 stars because the coffee and latte were very good.

This place is high in demand. Only managed to squeeze in because I went solo. Menu is on the pricier side. Atmosphere is well done, fresh and airy but still maintains that Diner vibe. I opted for the pancakes and they were a treat - they were big and fluffy just how I like em. Service was nothing to complain about either.

Pancakes: the best pancakes I have ever had! They are fluffy but the way the chefs made it, its also has a mild crunch on the outside. The toppings and maple syrup is nothing special but the pancake texture made the dish delicious. I would come back just for the pancakes. Croiwich: croissant sandwich containing eggs, lettuce, salad and a spicy mayo. The star of the dish is the homemade peppery sausage pattie, that has a great chewy texture. 15$ for the sandwich is a bit much, given the simple toppings, but it was still good. I asked for a salad on the side of my croiwich, and the staff brought me a very small 1.5 cup of greens with 3 drops of a sour vinaigrette and charged me 7$. The salad as a side didnt exist on the menu but they didnt think of telling me about the price either. Never ask for the salad as and extra at this place. The staff and service was great, it would have been nice for the waitress to let me know that the salad was going to cost me 7$ though (since it wasnt among the extras on the menu). Again, I would come back for the pancakes.

Great atmosphere and great service. I can only give 4 stars based on the coffee. It was great. However, as a celiac, this is not a safe establishment to eat. There are no gluten free options safe from cross contamination. The staff was very knowledgeable and very kind to help me find if there was anything that would have been safe to eat, unfortunately after conversation of shared cooking surfaces I concluded to not eat any of the food. I took a chance of ordering a latte. It did not disappoint! Dietary restrictions: This establishment is not safe for those needing gluten free options or who have celiac disease.

Wonderful experience eating here with kids on a busy Sunday morning The staff was so kind, really attentive and very patient with our toddler. There s even a changing table in the bathroom. I was definitely already at ease with their kindness but then the food was SO good. As a vegetarian, it s rare to be overwhelmed by options but there were too many things to choose from and that was wonderful. The two sharing plates for lunch, Brussel sprouts/cauliflower and the zucchini fritters were delicious and the sauces were very tasty and totally made the dishes. Highly recommend and can t wait to go back! Vegetarian options: Lots to choose from, less for vegan Kid-friendliness: Very accessible, nice staff, they offered us a highchair

Sunny Dinette, nestled in Montreals charming southwest neighbourhood, offers a brunch experience thats a delightful fusion of good food, efficient service, and a friendly ambiance. The open kitchen concept adds a layer of excitement as you witness the chefs craft each dish with precision. The menu offers a variety of options. My selections included the Gravlax Benedict, which, while tasty, fell into the realm of the average. The Bread Pudding, reminiscent of French toast, was a comforting sweet treat. However, the star of the show was undeniably the Fried Cauliflower a dish that elevated my brunch experience to new heights. The cauliflower dish was perfectly spiced and accompanied by a medley of vegetables like Brussels sprouts along side some halloumi cheese. The hummus dressing added a layer of richness that made each bite memorable. Despite the gastronomic triumphs, Sunny Dinette does have its drawbacks. With no reservation system in place, the wait time stretched to 30-40 minutes during my visit. The relatively small size of the establishment also contributed to a slightly cramped feel. However, these inconveniences are easily overshadowed by the overall positive experience. In conclusion, Sunny Dinette earns a solid 4/5 for its ability to deliver a brunch that balances great flavors, friendly service, and a warm atmosphere. All in all, I would recommend this place for brunch in the Montreal southwest area. Vegetarian options: A few vegetarian options such as the cauliflower, French toast, avocado toast. Parking: Paid street parking. Options to use free parking if you re a customer at the grocery store or pharmacy across the restaurant

Cute and friendly spot in St Henri. Service is very friendly and attentive. The owner makes sure that patrons are comfortable and being catered for. Waiting time was adequate, we did not have to wait long to be seated nor to be served. The menu is unpretentious and straightforward. We ordered the pancakes, Croiwich, with sides of breakfast potatoes and breakfast sausage. Overall, food is well executed but could have used a bit more seasoning across the board. The Croiwich could have been served with a side for the price charged. The pancakes were fluffy but we found that more syrup was needed. Overall, the service was the highlight of our visit. It really reflected the sunny aspect of the diner :)

Two years ago, before they rebranded to Sunny s Dinette, I had a most frustrating experience with their previous brand, Le Bon Vivant. I left a bad review, which I very rarely do, and even submitted a complaint to the BBB. Since then, they completely turned the experience and vibe around, so I m editing my review to reflect it. Good job, Sunny s - keep it up! The potato casserole and Sunny cocktail were delicious (and strong!) I ll be back.

We came here for brunch after Halloween and were lucky to have the last beautiful day of the year on the terrasse. There was a line up but they handled it with care - giving us updates and even making space for us on the terrasse. The mimosas are very generous (one of the best perks) and the eggs Benedict were perfectly done! We all enjoyed our time there including the food & friendly staff. Also, the owner came to see us to thank us (forgot her name sorry). She was positive, welcoming and was happy to get our feedback. Definitely recommend!

This is the kind of neighbourhood eatery that you love to see open up, so my wife and I were keen to try it out. The room is a brilliant use of the space, and is comfortable and cozy. We were just looking for an early afternoon coffee break, so my wife ordered Chai Latte (fine), and I just had filter coffee. The filter coffee was fine, but lukewarm. I also ordered a croissant, and it was like a croissant you would buy in a six-pack from IGA. After delivering our order, the server ignored us, obviously in favour of more lucrative clients? Anyway, 3 out of 5 is the best I can offer. A diner needs to get the basics right no matter how good the fancy concoctions may be. We wont find out as we shant return.

You cant get a cozier atmosphere for get together with your friends than this little restaurant/bistro on Notre-Dame. Nestled in an area of great competition like Joe Beef, Liverpool, and Papillon, it manages to rival these fine establishments in term of inventiveness and quality of food from the open kitchen just behind the bar. Will definitely go back again.

A delightful little diner with attractive decor. I had a grilled cheese sandwich with tomato soup plus smoothie of the day and it was a delicious, affordable lunch which still felt plenty indulgent. I dont usually go out in this area but Ill definitely be coming back here. I could see it becoming my go-to lunch date place.

This was our second visit and it was still a great one. We didn t wait long for a table and the service was great. There are two room for improvements; the coffee is not the greatest. There are many competing brunch places on the block so upping their coffee game is a must. I also received a portion of my meal after the rest was already done. It was fine but a little strange to eat when others are already finished. In any case, would return to eat here for sure!

This review has nothing to do with the food but, this restaurant is absolutely disrespectful when it comes to their mindfulness of their neighbours living upstairs from their establishment. It is absolutely disrespectful to be blasting music at 11 at night, unreasonable hours. Not to mention a karaoke night + multiple people yelling and screaming downstairs. The walls are paper thin. Please have respect for people who are living around your restaurant. If your hours say that you close at 4pm on the weekends, don t blast music and be extremely disturbing to those who live around you. Please have some respect.

We went for brunch on Mother s Day weekend. The service was incredibly fast and the waiter was nice. However, the food was disappointing considering its location on Notre-Dame. There are a lot of better brunch places right beside. Our water tasted strange so we asked for tap water. The waiter insisted it was tap, but there was a really weird carbonated aftertaste. We ordered the shakshouka and the crabs egg Benedict. The eggs Benedict dish was cold and non enjoyable. The shakshouka was okay. But considering the price we were paying, we might as well could have gone somewhere else.

I decided on a late mid-week brunch and it was disappointing. The pancake was not cooked, it was 1:30 pm and not very busy but because I was on my own I was made to sit at the bar where there was a cold draft on a wooden stool. I asked to change seat and the server said won t be of any use if 4 ppl walk In, you will have to go back to that same seat at the bar. They did serve in a fashionable time though, the coffee was so acid that I took all the cream to try to make it less bitter but it didn t help. I was forgotten as soon as served without pepper/salt, butter, jam or any coffee refill. Which was only offered at billing time. The service savvy is lost in the place and food no more than any other breakfast place. So, I feel that 30$ is a bit much for what this is.

Fantastic first experience at Sunnys! We were greeted with an inviting smile from both the owner (Emilie) and Chef (Tyler), who were more than happy to engage us in friendly conversation. The food speaks for itself - all the ingredients tasted super fresh. We had the eggs benny, which were absolutely delicious. Tylers skill in the kitchen is a perfect compliment to Emilies choices in vibe and decor. These two make a great team, and are very much worth a visit! Go for the food, but stay for the people. Thanks again, will see you soon!

Located in an area where there are many brunch options which are significant better than Sunny s. Menu is limited but there is something for all tastes. Prices are similar to most establishments in the area. Service is slow. We went around mid-morning in a weekday, it was not busy but there was only 1 person doing all the tables plus the hostess. Nice ladies but really slow to take order and to get the bill. For my order I asked to have crispy beacon but when I got it, beacon was not crispy at all. Nothing special about the food. Portions are on the smaller side. We tried 2-3 different things, none of us found it to be any better than other cheaper places. In fact, one description was that the potatoes are like Petino s. The place is small with maybe 10 tables (out of them 2-3 are communal tables) including some booths and high tables with stools. Decor is just ok. We appreciate everything was super clean. Overall there are better options close by, just keep walking.

Our favorite lunch restaurant as of now. It all started with a wonderful welcome from Émilie (who even took the time to come and chat with us and was so friendly). Then an equally friendly, courteous and efficient service to allow us to enjoy succulent dishes, prepared with care and made with local ingredients and local third wave coffee (next door ;) Very reasonably priced for the quality of the food and for the whole experience. I highly recommend this little restaurant and we cant wait to return.

I ordered an eggs benedict, the poached eggs were solid, Im talking zero runnyness. My table ordered 2 filter coffees (there is no question about this, she confirmed that my friend had milk and I had cream) then only brought 1. When we inquired about the 2nd coffee she said we didnt order 2 coffees, only 1. When she offered a refill for the coffees, we basically received ultra watered down coffee. Im talking 90% hot water, 10% coffee and didnt bring any sugar of cream/milk... We also ordered a beer that never arrived. Maybe I came on a bad day? Not sure if this is normal.

The coiwich was good. The steak and egg... Was good too but a bit small/pricy for the price of 26$. I ordered the golden milk since it sounds special but dang, I couldnt handle the taste. The beautiful hostice was very nice and changed it to something else for me. It was a hot humid day with the all doors open. I was sitting next to the wall. The vent outlet kept dripping water onto me. Thank god I had a hat on and it didnt drop on the food.

The team exceeded our expectations and prepared a beautiful grazing board and other snacks. Everything looked and tasted great, and the staff was so friendly and welcoming. Our guests were so impressed and we were told many times how much they loved the place! It was really exactly what we were looking for.

We ordered pancakes and eggs Benedict. We all really liked their pancakes, but the poached eggs on the Benedict were fully cooked and not runny at all. We also asked them not to add ham to it, but they did. I asked them to bring my coffee with the food, and I received it well before the food arrived. Finally, we were there for only an hour (from when we entered the place until when we paid the bill), and there was no one waiting to be seated, but three times they asked if we were done.

The food was delicious, and the service was excellent, so I will look to return when in the area. It would be nice to have more vegetarian options, such as the eggs benedict would be great with another option other than ham, you can remove the ham but that is not ideal as the vege option. They also have a full bar with some cocktails, so I will have to return to try those as well, a nice touch for a breakfast place. And they also have lunch I just noticed on their website. Vegetarian options: Not many vegetarian options, you can remove the meat from any option, but it is not replaced with a vegetarian variant.
