Ottawa Foodies

My sister brings her family here for breakfast almost every weekend. I happened to be in the hood and came in for breakfast last Saturday.

Coffee, good enough, for diner coffee....if I can drink it with just two creamers then it's not bad.

Eggs, perfectly cooked and still hot, peameal bacon was good, just enough colour and nice and hot. And the potatoes were cooked on a flat top and not deep-fried.

Service.... efficient, fast and friendly.

One word of warning...if you are alone, take a table, don't sit at the bar....stools are really uncomfortable, and fixed just far enough back that eating would be messy and uncomfortable.

Our family goes here at least once a month for breakfast. It's a "greasy spoon" by most standards, but I truly believe their waffles are a work of art which raise them far above this. Not that there is anything wrong with greasy-spoons, mind you. I normally just have the bacon-and-two-over-easy, not the waffles.

The boys (3 and 5) love the kid's pancake with either bacon or sausage (they usually go for the latter).

Huge dining room and very friendly staff. It is very easy to become a regular here.

My family like to have breakfast here... A LOT. My mom is there most Wednesdays, and the brothers tag along for Sunday Breakfast. Mom raves about the home fries, the boys can't get enough of the Belgian Waffles. As for me, it's a cheap breakfast, and nobody can mess up poached eggs on toast.

The service is super warm, the waitresses all know us by name. It's nice. I also love the regulars, and usually end up knowing at least one other person there.

Plus, they're super accomodating. There is absolutely no problem subbing some grilled tomatoes for the home-fries. Coffee mugs are never empty.

Very well known for their thick belgian waffles with whipped cream and fruit on top. Yummy!
