Brunch in Quebec: the best spots for a lazy Sunday

Our suggestions
Brunchs au Québec : les meilleures adresses pour un dimanche qui traîne

Sunday brunch is an institution in Quebec: pancakes, eggs Benedict, baked beans, French toast and maple syrup, served from eight to two in dining rooms that are full by ten. This guide brings together Quebec’s breakfast and brunch restaurants, from family chains to neighbourhood tables, with each one’s listing, hours and menu.

Our favourites

Régine Café, Montreal. Like an aunt who welcomes you with open arms and won’t let anyone leave hungry, with everything made in-house.

Place Dufferin, Québec City. The Château Frontenac’s breakfast buffet, served every day on Dufferin Terrace, in a light that sets the day on the right track.

Le Bette, Trois-Rivières, Mauricie. Gourmet brunches on weekends, seasonal cooking sourced from small producers and a list of organic and natural wines.

Chez Lionel, Sainte-Thérèse, Laurentians. A French brasserie with a chef-signed menu, weekend brunches and private-import wines.

Aux Chantignoles, Montebello, Outaouais. Within the walls of the Château Montebello, local and seasonal regional cooking, starting at breakfast.

Skipping the line

Brunch spots often take no reservations: arrive before nine thirty or after one, or aim for Saturday, which is quieter. Places that take bookings say so on their listing; for Mother’s Day or a big table, book several weeks ahead.

Choosing by occasion

For a quick breakfast before an outing, a breakfast chain serves in twenty minutes; for an occasion, an à la carte or buffet brunch at an inn, a hotel or an off-season sugar shack makes it festive. Several restaurants offer a full gluten-free or vegan brunch, noted on the listing.
