Best Breakfast and Brunch Places in Hudson

"Located in Montreal's Plateau district a few blocks from Mount Royal Park at the corner of Mont-Royal West and St. Urbain, Beauty's Luncheonette has been offering breakfast and lunch service since it opened in 1942. Made famous by Mordecai Richler's 1970s novel "The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz,". Breakfast and brunch are served weekdays from 7 a.m."

"Maintenant ouvert depuis 1942, ce célèbre restaurant de déjeuners de Montréal est une institution montréalaise. La réputation de Beauty’s dépasse Montréal, on parle du petit resto en coin à travers le monde. La charmante maison offre un des meilleurs pancakes en ville."

"Beautys Luncheonette is sadly temporarily closed because of you know what, but when life returns to normal, sprint into Beautys and grab the blueberry pancakes."

"Restaurant L’Avenue has become one of Montréal's hottest diners since its opening in 1997. The restaurant chain now offers several locations throughout the city, known for their unique graffiti-covered walls and quirky restroom decor. Portions on all entrees are oversized, making the restaurant a great choice for couples looking to share plates."

"Quaint and creative, Restaurant l'Avenue offers casual, upscale dining in the heart of the Plateau and attracts rather long lines for its daily brunch service—from 8 a.m."

"The fabulously popular Régine offers a whopper of a breakfast menu as of 9 a.m., Wednesday to Sunday. Its quality menu, known for being fancier than standard Montreal breakfast diner fare, hasn’t suffered from the transition to takeout either. Available on UberEats, DoorDash, SkipTheDishes and their own website, the menu includes items like corn waffles with smoked salmon, grilled cheese with duck, and a hearty “Sugar Shack brunch.” Régine’s sister café, Janine, also offers a full breakfast and brunch menu on all major delivery platforms."

"Regine Cafe is a laid-back, inviting neighborhood cafe meant to evoke the welcoming atmosphere of dining at a friend or relative's kitchen. The restaurant, which was opened in 2012, is a great choice for dates looking for a casual lunchtime spot during work days or for weekend brunch. Gourmet sandwiches are served up throughout the afternoon hours, crafted by executive chef Anne-Claudine."

"Regine Café is a charming little neighbourhood spot with slightly upscale fare and beautiful pastries. The brunch here is legendary (as well as the persona Regine) throughout the city, and tastes as good on the inside as it looks on the outside."

"The old is celebrated in new ways at Bar George, a modern-day rendezvous set in the grand heritage home once belonging to Sir George Stephen. Honouring the former resident’s roots, our chefs cook up contemporary takes on classic U.K. fare, spiked with Québécois quirks, while our bar pours..."

"Hours: 10 am to 2:30 pm & 5:30 pm to 10 pm; Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, closed Monday to ThursdayPhone: (514) 669-9243"

"A hip, lighthearted spot that hit the ground running when it first opened in 2010, Fabergé has since become a Mile End go-to for nourishing hangover cures. The interior is open and airy, which does well to accommodate the hordes of famished bunchers the restaurant receives on the regular, and the menu has a distinct ‘turned up to 11’ character about it. The menu is lengthy and features arrays of creative eggs Benedicts, breakfast sandwiches, omelettes, and more— as well as a bunch of wacky and decadent outliers."

"Welcome to Faberge, located in the Mile End district, this iconic brunch spot remains lively, with its family-friendly ambiance and excellent drinks menu featuring anything and everything from spicy Bloody Marys to mimosas. One of the more famed dishes is the chicken waffle that comes with a boneless fried chicken, a side of spicy sriracha coleslaw and a bowl of fresh fruits. The portions here are huge and the cozy and bright decor keeps residents and visitors coming back for more."

"Keep your eyes peeled for the giant bean posted above this itty bitty beanery near the busy intersection of Saint-Denis and Rachel—new digs since their previous address a few blocks over they’d occupied for 80 years. This canteen excels in traditional French-Canadian cuisine, which translates to meatball stews (ragoût de boulettes), meat pies (tourtière), and of course, baked beans (fèves au lard). Other hearty hallmarks from downtrodden days of the Depression include pudding chômeur, a poor man’s rice pudding."

"When it comes to classic Quebecois-style brunch, there’s really only one contender for the title of city’s best: La Binerie. The original location of La Binerie on Mont-Royal Avenue began operating way back in 1938, and they’ve counted city mayors, famous artists, and professional hockey players among their regular clients. These illustrious patrons came back time and time again for La Binerie’s classic Quebecois comfort dishes like tourtière, slow-cooked ham, and their famous fèves au lard."

"So historic it has a Wikipedia page, La Binerie is the city's quintessential Québécois breakfast and lunch counter. Breakfast is served as of 6 a.m. Wednesday to Friday, and as of 7:30 a.m."

"For over half a century, Mister Steer has been serving one of the most popular kosher burgers in Montreal!. The industrial-looking interior speaks to American restaurant chains yet the burgers are excellent. The best-known are the Mr. Steerburger, Mr. Baconburger and Mr. Cheeseburger."

"One of the sole reliable cheap breakfasts in the downtown area, Mister Steer is known for its burgers, but it also has diner classics, including the option for Steerburger and eggs."

"The customer service at this restaurant is absolutely horrendous, I went there and was turned away, with no explanation. From inside the restaurant, an e..."

"Another must-try, kid-friendly dining spot in Montreal is Eggspectation Complexe Desjardins. With branches around the world, this fantastic restaurant is guaranteed to take you on a memorable gastronomic adventure. The Complexe Desjardins outlet serves delicious American fares and creative breakfast specialties."

"The Best Brunches in Montreal: our suggestions Let’s be honest here…. Brunch is everyone’s favourite meal, isn’t it?. At Tastet, we believe that there is no reason to choose between […]"

"First founded in 1983, Bilboquet’s original outpost in Outremont is now just the tip of the iceberg for this glacial franchise which dominates the city’s cup and ball game with multiple locations and widespread distribution. Signature handmade flavours include the Moka Fouili with coffee, chocolate and crunchy caramel toffee, and the rowdy Brou Ha!"

"When the line stretches down the block virtually year round, you know the place has something special to offer. In this case, it's the ice cream. Made in-house, the ice cream varieties are often unusual, depending on what sorts of fruits are in season and what the staff feels like making and in what combinations."

"Specializing in home made sorbet and ice cream, Bilboquet has the best variety of flavours for every person. They use pure and natural ingredients including real milk and cream and lots of fresh fruits. That’s why their ice cream always tastes so fresh and flavourful."

"Chasse-Galerie is one of Montréal's trendiest dining spots, housed within a sub-basement dining space with exposed brick walls and intimate atmosphere. The restaurant is named in honor of the French-Canadian legend of La Chasse Galerie, which depicts a tale of colonial voyagers who made a deal with the devil. Decor is dedicated to the spirit of travel and exploration, showcasing travel souvenirs and other internationally-inspired items."

"Summit Woods Park is a great place to go for a hike if you don’t want to get off the island. It’s an ideal spot for people who want to reward their dog with smells, greens, and a challenging trek. The forest is absolutely mesmerizing, worthy enough to make you question whether or not you’re even still in Montreal."

"Delicious fried chicken and champagne in an absolutely stunning setting – what else could you ask for?. Created in collaboration with the Gauley Brothers and chef Kimberly Lallouz, the interior of the restaurant leaves an immediate impression. Bird Bar is really elegant, with a beautiful front door which makes for a dramatic entrance, wooden floors, a long marble bar, black velvet stools, and lights that are reminiscent of sunrise and sunset (and Kimberly’s great interest in Burning Man)."

"Chef Kimberly Lallouz spent months experimenting with chicken-frying techniques before opening this temple to the fried bird, and the results don’t disappoint: Their technique’s akin to a country-fry via pressure cooking, which maintains juicy meat with a crispy skin. Even better, it forms one half of an awesome chicken and waffles dish for weekend brunch services. There’s also shakshuka, breakfast burritos, Eggs Benedict and frittatas, but come on."

"Alors que le Ferreira Café a resté plutôt discret lors de la première vague, Carlos, avec l’aide de son chef Joao, ont décidé d’offrir un menu midi pour emporter. Quelques classiques indétrônables sont d’ailleurs offerts comme le risotto aux champignons et cuisse de canard confit, la bouillabaisse de fruits de mer, la pieuvre et la morue en croûte de cèpes. Tous les plats (32$-56$) incluent une entrée."

"Named for Saint George, the patron saint of England and inspired by that country's 13th-century religious architecture, St George's features prominent pinnacles and pointed arches, along with stained-glass windows, wooden carvings, a double hammer-beam ceiling and a column-free interior. The magnificent ceiling beams look grand and awe-inspiring, and the Lady Chapel on the east side of the main altar adds to the effect. Opened in 1843 to accommodate the overflow of worshipers from the Christ Church Cathedral, the church boasts tapestry that finds its origins in Westminster Abbey, London, and was used during Queen Elizabeth II's coronation."

"Named for the patron saint of England, St. George’s Anglican Church was designated a National Historic Site of Canada in 1990, 120 years after it was completed. The carved sandstone exterior was fashioned in the English Gothic revival style, complete with plenty of wonderful pointed arches that you’ll find everywhere — the windows, the entrance, the bell tower, and throughout the interior as well. The inside is a gorgeous study of traditional English woodwork, including the fantastic ceiling beams, among the largest in the world."

"St George’s Anglican Church strives to actively testify to the faith that is given to each of us as we open our hearts and minds to God, and to share this unreservedly with people who live, work, and study in downtown Montreal via the transformative love of Jesus and the empowerment of the Holy Spirit. As stewards of Christ, they want to improve the worship and Christian education to reach out to the church and the community around us, and to help families and people cope with the many problems of modern life."
