The fabulously popular Régine offers a whopper of a breakfast menu as of 9 a.m., Wednesday to Sunday. Its quality menu, known for being fancier than standard Montreal breakfast diner fare, hasn’t suffered from the transition to takeout either. Available on UberEats, DoorDash, SkipTheDishes and their own website, the menu includes items like corn waffles with smoked salmon, grilled cheese with duck, and a hearty “Sugar Shack brunch.” Régine’s sister café, Janine, also offers a full breakfast and brunch menu on all major delivery platforms.

Family-friendly La Grand-mère Poule’s menu is vast and covers all manner of (French-infused) North American breakfast staples, from omelettes, Benedicts, and hash brown skillets to pancakes and French toast. There’s even a “Little Chicks” children’s menu featuring teddy bear pancakes and plenty of chocolate sauce. Order for takeout on the restaurant’s website or for delivery on DoorDash or SkipTheDishes.

Vieux Vélo’s Marc Arsenault and Kyra Foort are eggs Benedict specialists, going beyond the classics with variations like bacon, avocado and brie, or a grilled veggie option with tangy pesto hollandaise. These dishes — plus others like pancakes with strawberries and a tofu scramble, for the hollandaise-averse — are all reasonably priced and can be found on UberEats and SkipTheDishes.

The tidy all-day dining project from the Lawrence crew rejigs the essence of the original restaurant with a café-buvette vibe. Larrys is open for breakfast at 9 a.m., seven days a week, with a menu that’s focused on simple English breakfast fare. Place an order for pickup or delivery on Montreal-based online ordering system Chk Plz.

Early risers rejoice: the lockdown hasn’t stopped this breakfast landmark on the Main, which was favoured by Montreal’s troubadour poet laureate Leonard Cohen, from serving up a range of Montreal diner classics from 8 a.m., seven days a week. Bagel Etc’s menu is chock full of Benedicts, French toasts, and pancakes, all of which can now be found on DoorDash, SkipTheDishes and UberEats.

Tucked away in a small space near the corner of Drolet and Duluth, this hidden gem has been serving tasty breakfast bites in the Plateau since 2017. Le P’tit Rustik specializes in bognettes — crispy potato fritters that originated in the Alps — but also serves a mean eggs bennie, as well as a number of other fresh, flavour-packed breakfast and brunch dishes. Place an order on DoorDash, UberEats or Sunch.

Little Portugal’s Chez José was the place for Plateau residents to grab a breakfast sandwich and a smoothie to go long before the pandemic made takeout a necessity. Head to Chk Plz (or DoorDash, SkipTheDishes or UberEats) from 9:30 a.m., Thursday to Tuesday, to order from Chez José’s menu of Portuguese- and Mexican-inspired breakfast plates and sandwiches (with plenty of vegetarian options on offer).

The breakfast menu currently on offer at Le Cartet merges the sleek Old Montreal bistro’s gift for  beautifully presented, updated classics with a simplicity that lends itself to delivery and takeout. The menu includes four kinds of grilled cheese (including one with duck confit and another with avocado and veggies), two scrambled egg dishes, various pastries, and other small bites. Look for Le Cartet on Chk Plz, SkipTheDishes, and UberEats.

Not a Jewish deli but inspired by one, Arthurs Nosh Bar has been a huge daytime hit since opening in 2016. Pre-pandemic, brunch lines at the St. Henri spot often stretched far along Notre-Dame; these days, Arthurs’ menu of hearty comfort food, which includes cottage cheese pancakes with bananas and maple, eggs and salami with latkes and a breakfast sandwich served on a challah roll, can all be ordered right to your doorstep, using Chk Plz, UberEats or DoorDash.

The legendary NDG diner Cosmos, founded by the late Tony “Man of Grease” Koulakis, opens Wednesday to Sunday at 7 a.m. — yes, even during these pandemic times — for pulse-quickening hangover breakfasts. Although the Koulakis family sold the diner in 2020, the new owners haven’t veered far from Cosmos’ menu, on which potatoes (in the form of delightfully crispy hash browns) are king. You can find Cosmos on DoorDash, UberEats, and SkipTheDishes.

Well offers a breakfast-focused menu with globally-inspired takes on café staples both sweet (ricotta pancakes with bacon, chocolate and cherry waffles) and savoury (huevos rancheros, chachouka, breakfast tartiflette). Dishes are available for delivery on DoorDash.
