We were here 5 years ago and coming back to a refreshed refurbished space was very satisfying. Francois was very accommodating and pleasant.

I've been at Universel on Peel twice and the food was absolutely delicious both times. But I especially find that the staff really goes above and beyond to make sure customers feel welcomed and at ease. I brought my mother here for Mother's Day and the service was AMAZING, the servers were so kind and they even offered mother's roses. So sweet! Great place for brunch overall!!

I was there with my family for brunch on Saturday and nothing seemed to go right. Service: First there was the over cafienated waiter who was in your face and loud. He was unattentive to us and the status of our food. Food: My wife ordered the French Toast and they were flavourless and there was no syrup offered. I order The Quebeker and the ham and bacon were cold, the sausages were OK. I ordered Eggs hard over and they were soft. The bread showed up 10 minutes after my food. The waiter offered more coffee when he brought the meal but never returned with coffee. Instead he came back at the end of our meal and asked again if we wanted more coffee which he did return with just as our dishes were being removed. Atmosphere: The restaurant was maybe at 75% capacity when we arrived and 50% when we left, but eating outside, where they suggested we sit, was uncomfortable and was probably the reason our food was slow and cold when it got to us. Overall this was a bad experience but I can say that $200 for 6 people was not that unreasonable. I will never return there for more reasons then I listed here and to anyone reading this, if you are in the area and looking for place, I would just walk around the corner to Pigeon Cafe and have a better experience.

Coming in, the place had great reviews, I believed it would hold up to those standards, but the service lacked etiquette, a server yelled at us over sitting where we were supposed to, aside from the constant side eyeing, the service remained sub-minimal. The food itself was not entirely flavor-full, the waffles came (missing a piece) and tasted worse than eggoes; like the waffles were frozen then thrown in a toaster. I would highly discourage attending this restaurant.

When traveling, there is something special about discovering a place that feels authentically welcoming. Even better when the positive vibe and delicious food is consistent trip after trip, no matter the season. Universel, on Peel near Sherbrooke, has undergone a spring refresh! Never fear! Universel's professional and fabulous crew remain to cook and serve up their tasty, fresh fare. Whether serving a large table of co-workers, or an intimate booth for 2, young or old, tourist or a regular, they deliver great vibes with every meal! Enjoy! And....thank you Universel!

I’ve been a regular at Universel for many years. Its downtown location has always been very convenient, especially when going shopping. About two months ago, I had a great experience, and we were told they would be closing for renovations—so I was actually looking forward to coming back. Today, we decided to return to see the changes and give it another try. Honestly, the place looked pretty much the same. Even the washroom still had the same broken handle—but that wasn’t a big deal. The biggest change was the menu. Prices have increased drastically, which I wouldn’t mind if the quality matched. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case. When our food arrived, it was very disappointing. The dishes were bland, and portions were noticeably smaller. My friend received about one and a half slices of bread, and the blueberry pancake previously enjoyed (which used to be full of blueberries) was now just a plain pancake with a few old, unappetizing blueberries thrown on top. Then came the bill: $5.90 for two cups of watered-down coffee, and an extra $6 just to add a handful of blueberries to a pancake. That plate ended up costing $24.95 + $6 for maybe 10 blueberries that weren’t even edible. I’m more than willing to pay higher prices for good food, but this felt disrespectful. Sadly, I won’t be returning.
