We would also like to thank all the mothers for all they do. Thank you for always thinking of others, for having energy hidden we don’t know where, and for always having our backs. Life would not be the same without you, that’s for sure!
Leméac
Leméac is a cherished institution and one of the best French restaurants in Montreal. It also happens to be a classic spot for brunch in the city, especially for Mother’s Day. Leméac’s quality is consistent, and its brunches, like the rest of the menu, are absolutely delicious. In an elegant and classic decor, you will enjoy a simple, very well executed and comforting brunch menu. We especially like the poached egg and smoked salmon blinis and the large plate of delicious fresh fruit, yogurt and homemade doughnuts.

Byblos le Petit Café
Original Brunch: Byblos is one of our favourite brunch spots. Between the owner’s 74 jams, the feta omelette, the feta and herbs plate and the fantastic Iranian teas, you will be sure to find many delights to awaken your taste buds. We love this place for its original brunches and the beautiful natural light of the place. Be aware, however, that during rushes the service can sometimes be rather slow!

Mesón
Original brunch: When she opened Mesòn, Tapeo’s chef-owner Marie-Fleur Saint-Pierre couldn’t contain her joy of having a restaurant that served brunch. The decor is chic and warm and the food is to die for: churros y dulce de leche, habas con jamón (beans with ham), and our favorite, the irresistible chicken and pork chili. This spanish-inspired bistro will keep you coming back for more.
