Reviews / Ratings for Le Toasteur Villeray
Please read! If you are the owners please read! My first visit here was excellent, which is exactly why I chose to come back and support a local business. Unfortunately, this second visit highlighted serious issues with professionalism, attention to detail, and listening. I was served by two staff members: a young woman wearing a Bad Bunny shirt who took my food/drinks order, and a young man with brown hair who handled drinks and table interactions. Both were polite, but politeness does not make up for repeated service failures. To be very clear: I ordered an iced matcha latte and a cappuccino. Word for word. What was made was an iced latte, which is not the same drink. This wasn’t a misunderstanding — it was a failure to listen. Being pleasant is not a substitute for accuracy. The same issue happened with my food. I ordered the breakfast poutine and clearly specified bacon only, no sausage. I even corrected the server (young woman) when it was briefly misinterpreted as “extra bacon.” Despite this, the dish arrived with sausage — more sausage than bacon. At that point, after multiple errors, I did not feel comfortable sending the order back again. I also noticed that I was not the only table they made mistakes with. What made this more frustrating is that the order was verbally repeated back to me, yet still executed incorrectly. If mistakes are common, orders need to be written down. Repeating an order incorrectly and then serving the wrong item shows a lack of care. There was also a communication issue. The male server repeatedly responded to me in French even after I consistently spoke in English and made it clear I was more comfortable being served in English. Montréal is a bilingual city, and responding in the customer’s language is basic service etiquette. After several instances, this became irritating and unprofessional. Overall, the staff was friendly, but friendliness without accuracy and professionalism is not enough. If any of these staff members are in management roles, that is especially concerning. I hope ownership takes this feedback seriously, because based on my first visit, this place can do much better.
I tried this cozy brunch spot a few days ago on my own and really liked the aesthetic inside. I ordered the pancakes which was super fluffy and delicious, and the coffee tasted great too. The service was a little slow since the place was packed, but the staff was super welcoming and gave great service anyway.
Veggie breakfast poutine of my dreams.
This was a solid dining experience all around. The process of placing an order was simple, the staff were courteous and welcoming, and the food was very good. The atmosphere made the visit even more enjoyable. I would gladly return again.
delish! i had the halloumi sandwich on bagel and it was great, really enjoyed the potatoes as well. i was delighted by the extensive vegan + gf menu! a little on the expensive side, but they seem to source a lot of ingredients locally. plus the service was so friendly and the location was beautiful, so it's a great spot for a special occasion. i don't know if they do reservations, but for weekend brunch it gets pretty packed so i recommend arriving early. i will be going back soon :))
Super cozy spot with a simple curated menu to maximize quality of dishes over selection, mimosas are excellent. Coffee (flat white and Moca are also excellent) Importante heads up to keep in mind. If you didn't reserve, be prepared to wait outside between 15-45 minutes depending on how packed it is(we luckily did not have to we arrived at the perfect time and another pair had canceled last minute allowing us to only wait 5 minutes) The service is solid and quick, but the wait on the food was between 20 to 35 minutes, if you are in a hurry maybe not ideal. The team is good, the food is good, experience overall 80%/100% solid
The food here is excellent. Definitely a notch above most breakfast chains. And they now have gluten-free bread yay. The people are super friendly. It's a bit noisy but well worth the visit. It's nice also that they have an upstairs seating area as well as an outdoor terrace for summer.
