Pros: I have to say the food, they have a great breakfast menu with some unique choices.
Cons: There was nothing bad here.

Perkins is a family restaurant located across from the St Laurent Mall. They also run a bakery in the same kitchen and the baked goods look fantastic but I have yet to try those.

On entering Perkins you are drawn in by the warm cozy atmosphere. There are tables on the floor and around the sides are booths for those who prefer a booth. There is a hostess waiting at the entrance to greet and seat patrons as they come in. Once you are seated a waitress takes over. The service here is fast. From entering to leaving they do not miss a step and are always pleasant.

For my breakfast on this occasion I ordered a limited time special; Bavarian Strata Sandwich. (Note: take advantage of their special because they are always fantastic and you may not get a second chance). This sandwich was basically a steak and egg sandwich on a pastry covered in hollandaise sauce. It was great! There were also sides on the plate including delicious hash browns.

Price wise, this makes an expensive breakfast but considering what you are getting I feel it’s a great deal. For 2 of us to eat breakfast the bill was close to $30. Sure, you could get 3.99 bacon and eggs anywhere, and I believe you can get it here as well but if you are in the mood for something different try one of their special breakfasts and you will not be disappointed.

Overall, Perkins is a must visit.
