If you've been searching for brunch near me in Montreal and keep ending up disappointed, let us be the last stop on that list. Eggstatic Griffintown — located at 100 Peel St, Montreal, QC H3C 0L8 — is Montreal's halal Middle Eastern artisan brunch destination, where every dish on the table is made to be remembered. From a slow-cooked bubbling shakshuka to a silky baklava latte that smells like a Levantine pastry shop, this is not your average eggs-and-toast morning out. This is brunch done with intention, spice, and soul.
What Makes Eggstatic the Best Brunch Near You in Montreal
Montreal already has no shortage of breakfast spots. Walk down any Saint-Laurent side street on a Saturday and you'll find lineups stretching around the block. So what makes Eggstatic Griffintown different?
The answer is in the concept. Eggstatic is built around Middle Eastern artisan brunch — a culinary philosophy that takes the comfort and generosity of classic brunch and infuses it with the layered flavors, fresh herbs, and time-honoured techniques of Levantine and Turkish cuisine. Every menu item tells a story rooted in a food tradition that spans centuries, now plated beautifully in one of Montreal's most vibrant neighborhoods.
The restaurant is fully halal-certified, meaning every ingredient from the kitchen — every cut of meat, every poultry dish, every preparation — meets strict halal standards from supplier to plate. There is no pork and no alcohol. For Montreal's Muslim community and for anyone who simply values knowing exactly what goes into their food, Eggstatic stands apart.
The Menu: Bold Flavors, Generous Plates
Every dish at Eggstatic Montreal begins with quality ingredients and ends with something worth photographing. Here's what you'll find on the table.
Shakshuka
This is the signature. Slow-cooked tomatoes, aromatic spices, poached eggs — it arrives to your table still bubbling, still steaming, and completely irresistible. Eggstatic's shakshuka draws from the North African and Levantine tradition of this beloved dish, balanced with the kind of heat and depth that makes it warm without overwhelming. Served with rustic bread for scooping, it's the dish that earns the most repeat orders in the room.
Çilbir (Turkish Poached Eggs)
A dish with centuries of history behind it — Çilbir is a Turkish preparation of poached eggs nestled in cool, creamy labaneh (strained yogurt), finished with a drizzle of sizzling butter infused with Aleppo chili and paprika. The temperature contrast between the warm eggs and the cool yogurt is deliberate and brilliant. It's the kind of dish that makes you wonder why you haven't been eating this way your whole life.
Mazza Plates
Before the mains arrive, a Mazza plate sets the tone. Hummus, labaneh, and fried haloumi are served together as a spread — a nod to the communal, sharing-first nature of Middle Eastern dining. It's a starter that invites conversation and slows the morning down in the best possible way. Order it for the table and let everyone pull from it while the mains are being prepared.
Benedicts — Elevated, Eggstatic-Style
The classic eggs benedict gets a full reinvention here. Eggstatic's Crispy Chicken Benedict has earned a loyal following in Griffintown — golden fried chicken, perfectly poached eggs, and a hollandaise sauce that ties everything together. The texture contrast between the crispy chicken and the silky egg yolk breaking open over the top is one of those simple pleasures that keeps guests coming back weekend after weekend.
Baklava Latte
This is the drink that earns a second round. The Baklava Latte is a specialty coffee creation that takes the flavors of the iconic Middle Eastern pastry — honey, rosewater, pistachio — and translates them into a warm, aromatic latte experience. It's sweet without being cloying, complex without being fussy, and utterly unique to Eggstatic. Pair it with any sweet dish on the menu for a full-circle Levantine morning.
Karak Chai
A staple across the Gulf and South Asian diaspora, Karak Chai is a spiced, condensed milk tea brewed bold and rich. Eggstatic's version is made the traditional way — deeply steeped with cardamom and warming spices. It's the kind of beverage that grounds you in the morning, especially on a grey Montreal winter day when the city feels like it needs something warm and fortifying.
