The verdict

Go if you want brunch with some history behind it: the Mish-Mash omelette is the order, and the retro counter is the point. It is a daytime-only spot that closes at 3:30pm and all day Tuesday. The catch is Monday Oct 12: Thanksgiving hours are unconfirmed, so call before building the morning around it. Better as a Wed or Thu breakfast.

Signature Mish-Mash omelette

Why maybeStrong, well-sourced classic, but Thanksgiving Monday is unconfirmed and Tuesday is closed; works best Wed or Thu.

How much we'll spend

$$$$Est. $22-32 / person

2026 menu PDF shows omelettes at a flat $21 and smoothies at $11; omelette plus a coffee or juice, before tax and tip. Other prices are in image-only sections I could not read.

Our estimate from posted prices, CAD, before tax and tip. Québec purchases carry the 5% federal GST plus the 9.975% Québec Sales Tax (QST, TVQ in French): 14.975% combined on taxable items. Tourisme Montréal: it is customary to tip restaurant servers, taxi drivers and hairdressers 15% of the bill, before taxes. Bellhops, porters and doormen generally get at least $2 per bag or service; coffee and food counters often have a tip cup by the register.
