The Famous Cosmo's

This reminds of what Montreal is all about. Cozy, great vibes. Breakfast prices are like the good old days. You feel at home here. I really enjoyed my breakfast with the sunnyside up eggs in the bagel.

The famous Cosmo's, been around longer than I have. The decor could use some help but the ambiance and food is still very good and better priced than most of the other breakfast places!
The cook was pleasant to talk with and made the breakfast very enjoyable.
Dinner seating only.

The food was absolutely amazing and the prices were very good. Everyone is very kind and it’s a very warm/inviting atmosphere. Highly recommend!

Small cozy old school diner with a dozen stools on a shared counter. Great conversation with the waitresses and other clients. Great food, homemade feel.

Tiny little place! 9 stools at the counter and that’s it. I felt lucky to get a seat here and it did not disappoint. A 40-year regular of this place picked up my tab as a welcome which was so kind. I didn’t get their names but the two girls working were phenomenal and so friendly. The meal was gigantic and delicious- get the Mish Mash!

What a great place. Lots of other things to do in this neighborhood as well. An absolute must-stop when you’re in Montréal.

The new owners seem to be handling it well. I still order a Creation on rye, hold the fries. Maybe I should try a different bread one of these days:)

My godfather brought me here as a child and a few times as an adult. This was my first time back since he passed, and I was immediately flooded with memories of dining at the counter and the most amazing hash potatoes you can imagine!
Absolutely loved the food, the dose of nostalgia and being able to share both the memories and food with my boyfriend! Thank you!

Damn fine burgers & amazing breakfast. Or have a burger for breakfast.
This is one of those places where you have great conversations with staff & customers every time you visit. It's well worth a visit.

Hole-in-the-wall greasy spoon. Peter made an excellent Good Morning Burger (beef, bacon, cheese, fried egg, lettuce, onion, tomato, mayo) and Michelle (?) was a great server. Will be back! 5 stars

Cosmos, a quaint breakfast place in Montreal, is a hidden gem that offers great value prices, amazing tasting breakfast, good portions, and a rich history that they embrace. From the moment you walk in, you feel a warm and welcoming atmosphere that instantly sets the tone for a cozy breakfast experience.

The menu at Cosmos is diverse and offers a wide range of options for every taste bud. The good morning burger is a must-try, and the fluffy omelettes are simply divine. The portions are generous, leaving you feeling satisfied and energized for the day ahead. The prices are also very reasonable, making it a great spot for a budget-friendly breakfast.

What sets Cosmos apart from other breakfast places in Montreal is its rich history and tradition. The restaurant has been around for years and has remained a family-owned business even after changing owners due to tragedy throughout that time. They have embraced their heritage and the history of Montreal, making it a place where locals and tourists alike can experience a taste of the city's past.

The decor at Cosmos is also a nod to their history, with posters and photographs adorning the walls. It's a charming and nostalgic touch that adds to the overall ambiance of the restaurant.

The service at Cosmos is friendly and attentive, making you feel like part of the family. Will talk to you in French or English so great for tourists. The staff is knowledgeable about the menu and can offer recommendations if you're unsure what to order.

Overall, Cosmos is a fantastic breakfast spot that should be on every foodie's list when visiting Montreal. With its great value prices, amazing tasting breakfast, good portions, and rich history, it's a must-visit for anyone looking for a truly authentic Montreal experience.

Haven't been here in a while but the food & the service is just as good as ever! Being able to join in the conversation with other patrons. PRICELESS! & part of the charm of this place! Thanks for making my trip downtown totally worth it!

Tasty breakfast sandwich. Portions aren't what you would expect from a greasy diner, barely any hash browns. Maybe it is better for dine in.

Greasy little diner with lots of history. This is not where you go for a granola bowl. Famous for their mishmash (potatoes, onions, bacon, salami all mixed together with a lot of margarine on the grill served with an egg on top) and for their creation sandwich (eggs, bacon, fried salami, mayo, lettuce tomato served on a choice of bread). Expect to be touching elbows with the locals that attend this spot since it's close in-counter seating only. The service is quick and friendly. Great selection of bread and hot sauce to accompany your breakfast. Expect a wait to be seated, Cash only, metred street parking.

My new favorite breakfast spot. Tiny. Eclectic clientele and staff. You won't ever leave hungry!

It's a revolving door for loonies.if you like the eccentric and the eclectic then it's the place for you.the food's great too

A hole in the wall for homemade style breakfast/ brunch. There's only a bar that seats maybe 10 people max. Good food.

I’m a regular, which might kill me eventually, but worth it. I say this because obviously fried things are bad for you, and they know how to do that very well. After changing hands just before COVID, the new owner has changed very little; He removed an eggtraneous (egg puns) fridge, and added an air conditioner, the food has remained eggcelent (yeah I did that again), and the staff are great!

I like my potatoes well done, but you can ask for them however you like, and if for some reason you wanted to, you can order a tuna sandwich if you’ve egghausted (yes again) your egg quota for the week!

Still affordable, no reservations, tight space, welcoming and lovely community vibes.
