Restaurant le Beaujolais — Restaurant in Montreal

🌟 Diner Review

Ambience & Location

This no-frills, old-school diner serves a steady stream of office workers, truck drivers, and locals who know a good breakfast or lunch when they see one. Open bright and early at 5:00 AM, it’s a great pit stop for early risers or those needing a reliable midday meal. With plenty of parking, it’s convenient, though the poor ventilation and malfunctioning AC can be uncomfortable on warmer days.

Unfortunately, the restrooms are in need of serious attention blocked toilets and sinks were noted, suggesting overdue maintenance or upgrades.

Food Quality & Value

Portions are generous, food is freshly prepared, and the pricing remains budget friendly a solid alternative to fast food. Notable favorites include the burgers, described as “one of the best I’ve had”, and the crispy, satisfying chicken wings (available in 10- or 20-piece servings). Diners can expect comfort-style meals that feel home-cooked, with consistent quality across the board.

Service & Atmosphere

Service is one of this spot’s standout strengths. Staff are friendly, fast, and attentive many regulars mention that servers remember their usual orders. The dining room is clean and casual, if a bit plain. While the ambiance is calm and welcoming, a touch of updated decor or color could enhance the overall experience.

A dependable local gem for hearty, affordable meals with no pretense. If you can look past the outdated restrooms and minimal decor, you’re in for satisfying food and service that feels like home. Great for breakfast before work or a quick...

I have been here for years and have seen it go through some changes. It's a restaurant in an industrial area, so you will see office workers alongside truckers and warehouse workers eating together. It's that kind of vibe. I personally like that vibe.

The food is pretty good for the reasonable price you pay. I'd rather spend my $15 here than at McDonald's.

The atmosphere is clean but could use an excitement booster. Perhaps adding some decor and color can brighten up the place. Eating in pleasant surroundings makes the meal more enjoyable I believe, though that won't stop me from going there either. It's...
