| - Easily the most overrated breakfast spot in Montreal. After years and years of people recommending Dusty's to me as their go-to morning joint, I was always curious to try it. I was in the neighbourhood recently and my friend and I were in dire need of a hearty breakfast...so we thought we'd give it a shot. After visiting, I'm completely baffled as to why people recommended this place.
Beyond the convenience and social factor of heading out to brunch as a group, the only real reason why I pay for breakfast is if tastes better than what I could whip up at home. At Dusty's, this unfortunately wasn't the case. I ordered a straight-up 3-egg 'Dusty's Special', with bacon, home fries, and OJ: everything was bland, cheap in quality and tiny in portion. I could have made a better tasting breakfast at home in my underwear, hungover and half asleep.
The only redeeming factors were the cool, classic diner feel of the place, the jazz on the radio and the decent tasting coffee. But these obviously can't make up for the lacklustre grub. There are definitely way better places in the area to spend your breakfast dollar on.
