Brunches that accept reservations
To brighten your mornings, here’s a list of brunch spots that accept reservations.
Ah, brunch! This elevated breakfast has become a true institution in our city. Brunch is serious business in Montréal. Families and friends gather at their own pace to start the weekend off right. Between homemade bagels, reimagined eggs Benedict, and sparkling mimosas, the options are endless for morning indulgence. Every plate tells a little story, blending creativity and comfort, and often you’ll find yourself thinking those lost hours of sleep were well worth it.
Of course, brunch comes with its own twist: so many foodies heading out to brunch often means long waits at the door. And who really wants to stand around in their weekend clothes, fogging up the pancakes on the table next to them?
To avoid the suspense, it’s best to plan ahead. The catch? Not every place accepts brunch reservations. To make life easier, we’ve done the legwork! Here’s our selection of Montréal brunches where you can book a table—transforming your Saturday or Sunday morning into a relaxed, stress-free, 100% enjoyable experience. No more morning marathons: all that’s left is to pick your dish, prep your taste buds, and decide whether the first mimosa will be classic, raspberry, or delightfully bold.
