| - Decided to have breakfast at Reubens on the first day of my Montreal visit. I was so impressed with the food and more importantly the service, that I came back on the last day of my visit again to have breakfast. I have eaten at Reubens many times over the years at lunch and dinner time, but not at breakfast. That has changed. The serving was enormous and very tasty. Had the breakfast sampler on the last day of my stay, 2 strips of bacon, 2 eggs, 2 thin slices of ham, 2 pancakes, toast and coffee for $9.99. I was extremely happy with the breakfast and didnt feel overly guilty eating so much in the morning as it was not too heavy. My waitress for both days was excellent. With a friendly demeanor, she showed herself to be comfortable speaking both french and english, which is nice for someone like me who does not always have the ability to speak french fluently. Reubens will now be my regular breakfast stop while in Montreal.
Was in Montreal early in June '16 and found out the owner, Gus, passed away in May, at the age of 82. His wit and personality will be sorrily missed. If you didnt meet him, you have definitely missed out one spectacular human... RIP Gus.
