Quebec has a pretty robust homegrown breakfast restaurant chain scene, with places like Chez Cora, Allô Mon Coco and Tutti Frutti, among others. A few of them have branched out into other provinces too.
I think this makes it difficult for US chains to penetrate the market and explains why we don't have Denny's, IHOP, Perkins, etc. here.
As is often the case, Perkins used Gatineau as a test Quebec market a number of years ago, but they failed. Their old Gatineau location is now occupied by Scores, a Quebec rôtisserie chain that's a bit of a St-Hubert knockoff.
