Petinos

This is a perfect place for breakfast. Good food, friendly waiters and they have good music. It’s family friendly.

Petinos means rooster in Greek and that’s a good thing since you’ll certainly need one if you plan to wake up during the weekends to get to Petinos early enough to avoid the much warranted line-​ups outside this breakfast joint. This place is busy… real busy… and for good reason!
Their website vaguely boasts a variety of 250 choices to choose from and when you’ll get around to the menu… you can see why! They have something for everyone and you can mix it up to get what YOU want.
I went with the «Le Petinos» a huge breakfast plate with a variety of meats and eggs. I won’t necessarily break it down how everything tasted but overall it was simply exceptional with no disappointments. I particularly loved their home-​style potatoes that were simply out of this world good. The other patrons at my table all enjoyed their meals with very well presented grub even though they had a lot of clients at the door. They truly ensure to make sure you don’t feel rushed when you’re dining there. Did I mention to potatoes? Yeahhhhhh… but everything else was on spot too… but them taters… *drool*
The service was really good as well despite how busy it was. It was attentive with plenty of coffee refills. She brought crayons for my daughter. She played with her. Very sweet. The food arrived in a timely fashion (child first! awesome) along with every needed check-​up as we ate away. It was impressive.
Will be back.

hands down my favorite spot to eat breakfast… I have a big appetite and they have one dish that can satisfy it. it comes with eggs, bacon, meats and half a waffle with custard, nutella and fruit. I love sweet and salty and I love waffles. That being said, trust me half a waffle is plenty, they are huge and so delicious. Anyways as far as prices go, they are competitive with all the other montreal «fancy» breakfast places I have been too, but their potatoes are the best and so are their combination plates… I mean when I got to another place and all they have for a waffle combo… is a plane waffle and it costs the same… Ill pass.
Ambiance. what you would expect from a breakfast joint
Service. quite good and hasty

Amazing service. The best till date that I have had in Montréal. Food is above expectations as well. Nutella banana english cream waffles are to die for. Veggie omelette with fries and fruits was just superb. Our server was so nice that when she saw we hadn’t ordered any meats on the table she told us not to eat beans as they might contain pork. Loved the whole experience!

Friendly service, food arrived quickly.
The coffee tasted watered down, but I’m sure you can ask them to pour you a cup from a new brew.
Heard many clients around me asking their waitress to make their order quick because their car is at the car wash. Apparently, there is a car wash just next door — so, while waiting for your car to get washed, why not grab a quick breakfast? Great idea!
I ordered a spinach omelet — it tasted bland and dry. The potatoes had the same texture and consistency of La Belle Province French Fries, with onions, which were my favourite part of the meal. The bananas served in my bowl of fruits were fresh.
The only other comment is that I thought the utensils were the cleanest at any restaurant I have been to! Lol — it was freakishly really shiny!
A good place where the servers are pleasant and if you need a quick bite. I have yet to try their other dishes.

The food was delicious and served really really fast! Also, the service is great, the people there are very nice and do their best to accommodate you (we can be picky eaters…:p) The only thing is some of their items are a little overpriced but overall, would recommend!

Get the steak breakfast — and split it between two of you. Perfectly cooked and well priced considering the sheer quantity of food.

If you wish there were a place in or near West Island, Montréal to have a delicious Saturday morning breakfast when you roll out of bed at 12. This is your spot!
From all the classic choices to some of the best «comfort-​food style» breakfast dishes. The best thing is that it won’t hurt your wallet too badly. (My wife and I left completely full for just over $ 30)

Busy place why? Because they do it right. I’ve been here several times & I will keep coming back. Their breakfast is real good — large portions, good service, reasonable prices, yummy & on the west island. What more do you want?!

After hearing about Petinos numerous times, I finally went to check it out for myself. The experience was underwhelming and disappointing, given the hype.
Greeted at the door by a hostess who I can only assume from her demeanour that she is not quite enthused about being there, even at 10:30am on a Saturday. Could someone tell her that she applied for — and got — a job at a *breakfast place*??? Thanks.
Ordered the «Canadian» Benedict and was absolutely disgusted to see that Petinos thought it appropriate to use what must have been Kraft singles as the cheese of choice in a $ 14 dish. Are you serious? When I looked at the menu to check if this was my fault, I noticed that while the other Benedicts identified the type of cheese, this one just said «cheese». Might I suggest renaming to «cheese-​like topping», or better yet, tell us EXACTLY what it is. Got something to hide, much? It ruined my appetite, for sure.
The server said «sorry about that, I probably should have checked with you before.» I admired her taking responsibility, but then she looked at my half-​eaten half and said «would you mind if we only brought you one new one?» (Rather than the standard order of 2 halves…) Stay classy…
Look, I’m confused. People say that they love it here; people whose opinions I trust. I may be back to give them a second chance, and I’ll be open to updating this review, but for now, 2 stars is more than fitting for what I experienced. How unfortunate.

Best breakfast place in the West Island. Large portions, great service, and friendly staff. The place is always completely full, so my wife and I usually go early to beat the crowd.

Excellent breakfast joint, Gaston and his crew are back. Service is exceptional and food is very good. Love the coffee thermos that they have for each table. This place is clean and fresh. Same location as Chez Cora, but the food is better. Go and you be the judge.

Delicious! loved their breakfast!
I love what they did to the place– Its classier and there are no chickens on the wall :)
