Peace

It's (at least used to be - haven't been in a long time) on the corner of Mt. Royal and St. Urbain streets - a holdover from the days when the neighbourhood was a nexus of the Jewish community. Sunday mornings would see line-ups a block long for breakfast or brunch, the only meals served. On the menu - fresh squeezed orange juice, eggs (any way you like 'em) with a side of bacon or sausage and the best part - the world's best home fries. Also famous for their world renowned mishmash, which is an omelet filled with fried onions, peppers, salami and hot dogs. But the best was what I usually ordered, which was the Beauty's special - lox, cream cheese, sweet onion and tomato served on a toasted St. Viateur St. bagel - to die for.

If you ever make it out this way I'll spring for a trip to Beauty's, you'll love it.
