Sunny's Dinette on Postcard

"Brunch isn’t just a weekend occurrence at all-new Sunny’s, which replaces Le Bon Vivant in Little Burgundy. All week long, the diner-inspired spot is serving eggs Benedict (with braised ham and Emmental cheese), bagels and lox, pancakes topped with whipped mascarpone and strawberry compote, and no-nonsense platters of eggs, potatoes, and choice of breakfast meat. Pair your pick with a cocktail — there are bellinis, mimosas, or the Sunshine, with vodka, orange and pineapple juice, and turmeric." - JP Karwacki, Valerie Silva

The Best New Brunches in Montreal - Eater Montreal

"Griffintown, from Lunch to Late Night Griffintown sits outside the well-beaten tourist path, to the west of the museums and shopping on Sherbrooke (and so even farther west from Old Montreal ). If you make the journey, you'll find a residential neighborhood which is enjoying a renaissance. Much of that translates into new condo projects, but along with them are new boutiques and restaurants, including Le Bon Vivant which opened at the end of August 2014. This restaurant which is open for breakfast until late at night (till 10, Monday to Wednesday, and till 11, Thursday to Sunday) has already attracted a following with crostini, sandwiches and other simple dishes heavy on roast meats and vegetables. All are served in a space that embodies the design trend of the moment, complete with poured concrete floors, a chalkboard wall with the daily specials, and an abundance of Edison bulbs. The menu successfully pulls off a fusion of Québécois and other cuisines from around the world with the kitchen faltering only once—the bread pudding was a dry disappointment."

A lovely spot for brunch. We were three people and visited on a Sunday morning just before 10 AM and were seated immediately, though it filled up quickly after that. The service was warm, welcoming, and attentive throughout. Both the food and coffee were delicious and satisfying. I would come back!

Sunny’s Dinette is a gem! The food is fresh, flavorful, and feels homemade.the portions were generous. The service was friendly and fast, with a cozy, welcoming vibe. Perfect spot for breakfast or brunch if you’re looking for something casual yet delicious. Highly recommend!

The food here was verry delicious. There were many of us so we were able to order a variety of stuff. The service took a bit longer as it was very busy but the staff was really nice and friendly. The restaurant was clean but our baby seat was dirty and the place was a little tight.

Absolutely adorable bistro!! The owner is the sweetest - delicious menu and lovely selection of cocktails and wines. We stopped in yesterday - first time in Montreal. We are heading back for brunch today!! You must stop by and try it out.

We tried this restaurant for brunch on a Sunday this summer. It was very hot outside and, despite all the open doors, also quite hot inside. The server was very friendly and attentive. There were several vegetarian options for both sweet and savoury tastes. We tried the french toast of the day (Nutella) and the pancakes. Both were a unique and unexpected experience. The pancakes were quite a bit more fluffy and sturdy than is typical. The french toast was perhaps not dipped in egg? Both were a bit dry. The portions are quite large and one dish could have sufficed both of us if we knew in advance. They sat us at the bench at the back of the restaurant, which had a lovely naturalistic view that was ideal for a calm experience.

August 18th - 10am-ish Nice day in Montreal, just before the forecasted deluge that has already hit the GTA. We don’t have to wait long, however, the wait was not really worth the food in terms of quality and quantity for the price paid. I very much dislike giving good people (the owner was there and is super nice and the staff sont très gentilles) 3* reviews but just calling it how it is. The kitchen was kind enough to replace the bacon in my egg sandwich (15CAD) with avocado sans frais, and while that is appreciated, it did little to enhance the overall experience. The food came out at room temperature. I expected it to be piping hot or atleast warm. The coffee was brewed without love and tasted meh. It was also not warm. They had poured it in thermoses and that’s the way to go if you are making and refilling regularly. That was not the case here. The piripiri chicken was the worst we’ve had anywhere! The chicken was tasteless and dry, the marinade hung on the pieces, like laundry hung outside on a muggy day. The couscous was dry (no dash of citrus here). For 20 dollars, it was not worth it. Also gave my wife a headache (probably all the uncooked marinade). All in all, I made a choice and it was not the best choice. With all due respect to the original and current owners. Oh, and very pork heavy menu. Bacon and pork sausage galore. Our best regards to the owners, however. I understand that it is tough to run an eatery post-Covid with all the staff shortages.

Restaurant was full at around 11:30am so we got seated outside. There’s no shade so it got pretty hot. My friends started with an iced coffee and it was very diluted and just tasted like milk. The waitress kindly returned it and made another one which was better. We ordered the bagel and the cauliflower dish. The bagel was good but nothing too special. The fried cauliflower dish with Brussels sprouts, halloumi and hummus was very tasty. Would recommend that dish to share. Overall good service but food was nothing special.

MENU HACK: The veggie Benedict has a Parmesan/zucchini fritter as the base instead of country bread. So so so delicious! They should advertise this. Potatoes a bit bland. Salad way better. Very reasonable prices. No line on a Sunday at 1pm!

A cute and hip little breakfast place with booth seats, high tables and bar seating. In the summer, there are a handful of regular tables right out front but it's very sunny with no shade--perfect if you want a tan :) Since it was a hot day, we sat inside at the booth seats where the AC was blowing from the back wall to keep us cool since the doors and windows were open. It's an open concept kitchen with bar seating looking at the cooks in the kitchen. The menu is pretty straightforward. I ordered the Casserole with the Hollandaise sauce on the side. It was verrrrrryyyy ordinary. Just fried potato cubes, a sprinkle of chives, a few tiny pieces of cheese, almost non existent bacon and an egg on top. It wasn't cheap though at $21. My friend ordered the Bénédicte which in comparison seemed like a better deal as it came with 2 eggs on a toast with cheese and spinach underneath, salad and tons of potatoes for only $20. Service was friendly but standard. It's a well situated diner easily accessible and near the metro Lionel Groulx. They've only been open since September 2022.
