L'Oeufrier

This Plateau Mont-Royal institution just celebrated its five-year anniversary with a bang, and it is with great pleasure that I joined in the festivities and ordered my favorite dish on the menu: the breakfast poutine.

If you are not one for late-night, post-club poutine, as most Montrealers do, then maybe this option will be a little more appealing.

Forget the gravy. This poutine consists of roasted potatoes, hollandaise sauce, pieces of bacon and ham, with eggs on top and a hint of maple syrup. Yes, it is as rich and delicious as it sounds, and it will rock your taste buds in a way you never imagined.

The restaurant also has a full brunch menu with very original options. I've never tasted anything here that wasn't good. But for a truly memorable experience, go with the poutine.
