Le Vieux-Vélo doesn’t need frills, flash, or fanfare to win you over—it’s all about honest, no-nonsense food that gets you good. Located on Beaubien, this unassuming gem has been doling out hearty breakfast plates since 2010, and if you’re looking for a neighbourhood joint where the food feels as comfortable as your oldest pair of jeans, you’ve found it.
The space is vintage, and worn in all the right places. Kyra Foort and Marc Arseneault, who opened the place just two months after moving to Montreal, designed it to reflect what they love: Things that last and matter. There’s nothing pretentious here, no foodie circus, just well-executed basics: They’ve got some of the best damn eggs Benedict around.
The thing about Le Vieux-Vélo is that it’s not just a restaurant. It’s a neighbourhood hub, a second home for regulars. You’ll see people laughing over their coffee, settling into the laid-back vibe—this is the kind of place that thrives on community and comfort.
