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.

Went for brunch on a Saturday with my family of 4. It was busy but still had seating immediately available. The portions were very generous and tasty. Very expensive menu, reminiscent of a diner, so there is something for everyone.

Who knew? A fantastic diner sitting right next door to the hotel, literally steps away. Universel Déjeuners et Grillades is absolutely on point. The automatic wheelchair door wasn’t working, but the large, flat roll-in glass doors made getting in manageable without too much trouble. I went for the risotto de canard, and wow… rich, creamy, perfectly hot, and packed with flavor. Easily a standout dish. Service was bilingual (French-English), efficient, fast, and genuinely friendly. The whole place has that relaxed European café feel that makes you want to linger just a little longer. #tysadventures26 #SpringBreak26 #montreal #duckrisotto
