Cuisine: Breakfast / Diner
Just off the beaten path in the West-Island, Eggspressions is a medium-sized breakfast joint is only a few blocks north of Fairview Pointe-Claire on Boul. St. Jean. While the portions and quality of food are a bargain at the prices, the service leaves a lot to be desired.
Not very visible from the street, I would’ve never noticed Eggspressions if I didn’t work in the building. Their menu is primarily breakfast foods, but they are open for lunch and feature both a la carte and daily special options that are more suitable for lunchtime.
Although their breakfast menu is considerably stronger in both selection and quality, their Californian Club is possibly the best club sandwich I’ve ever had. Unfortunately, it’s only available as an occasional daily special.
The service, on the other hand, ranges from passable to terrible. On occasion, I’ve watched tables seated after me receive their order before I had a chance to place mine. Nonetheless, I keep going back because the breakfasts are on par with Chez Cora’s, but cheaper, and as I said, I work in the building.
All in all, Eggspressions seems more geared toward neighbourhood suburbanites who don’t have anywhere else to be. If you’re just passing through the area and looking for breakfast, you might be better off checking out the Chez Cora’s on Boul St Jean just at the 20.
