About Us
Nestled in the historic Belmont district of Portland, OR, The Mont emerges as a charming breakfast and lunch destination, offering a nostalgic nod to the classic American diner. Opened in September 2020 by Emily George, formerly the manager at SeeSee Motors, The Mont presents a vibrant, retro-funky ambiance, coupled with a menu that promises classic comfort with a unique twist.
Our quaint eatery, easily recognizable by its bright blue exterior and welcoming sign, provides a cozy yet limited indoor seating arrangement, complemented by a spacious, heated outdoor patio. We're open seven days a week, inviting guests to enjoy our offerings from 9 am to 2 pm on weekdays and until 3 pm on weekends.
Our menu, though concise, is meticulously crafted to deliver a delightful balance of sweet and savory. Signature dishes like the buttermilk-battered chicken and waffles, served with house whipped cream and our special cinnaMONT syrup, and the Mont De Cristo, a hearty take on the classic sandwich using challah French toast, have quickly become fan favorites. For those who cherish the classics, our Eggs Benedict with smoked ham, soft poached eggs, and homemade hollandaise sauce is a must-try.
At The Mont, we understand the value of individualized service. Our attentive staff often surprises guests with separate checks for each diner, ensuring a hassle-free payment experience. While we don't take reservations and the wait might be longer than usual, the quality of our food and the warmth of our service make it worth the wait.
Whether you're a local or just passing through, The Mont invites you to step in and savor a piece of Portland's culinary heart. From our delectable iced chai to the inviting charm of our diner, we're more than just a meal - we're an experience waiting to be cherished.
