Went to NDG Luncheonette for brunch on Sunday, & it was a fantastic experience. The service from the staff was amazing-friendly, attentive, & welcoming. The interior has a charming old-fashioned diner vibe that adds to the experience. Just a heads-up, it's a cash-only spot, which can be a bit inconvenient nowadays, but the quality of the food & atmosphere more than make up for it. Highly recommend it for a cozy & nostalgic brunch!

Well, where to start? The food ✅ The staff ✅ The vibe ✅ I feel like the waitress was about to karaoke & I'm here for that 🫶🏼 the classic tunes really added to the ambiance. Great place, really enjoyed it & definitely coming back. Went for the first time on Tuesday & went back with someone else the next day! 😅🤣🤣

We had a lovely experience here for sunday brunch. The workers were very kind & attentive to each client. The environment is cozy, & the music was old school classics. I plan on going back not only because of the good vibes but also because of how delicious the burger was. My first bite was packed with flavor 😋 Just a heads up that they only take cash, so make sure to plan your finances accordingly. Otherwise, they have an ATM, or there's a CIBC 4 minutes away by drive.

Went yesterday morning & it wasn't too busy. I didn't expect much of the food but when they brought out our plates that all changed. The steak was perfection & while the pancake was drier than I like, the maple sauce & apple compote balanced it perfectly. The service was great & the staff were really nice. A nice, clean place with a retro diner vibe to it. It's a lovely spot that I'm about to frequent more.

I've come here 3 times so far, & over those 3 times, I have tried 6 to 7 items on the menu. I have not disliked a single one of them. Obviously I like some more than others, but the fact I haven't disliked anything says a lot.

The servers are have always been nice & give me the impression that they actually like working there, which tells me a lot about the place.

Now, the atmosphere. It's got an old school jukebox kind of vibe, & music to couple with it. Think Neil Young - Heart of Gold. If you sit on the bar stools, you get to see the chefs making the food, & as mentioned earlier, they make some darn good food. It's calm, & relaxing, & perfect for the kind of food they serve.

& finally, the price. First of all, it's cash only. So, today we had an NDG burger & two JJ's Breakfast. Total cost $56. Now, I know what you're thinking, that's a little pricey. & you know what you're right, but the food is nice & fresh, the atmosphere & people are great, & I still tipped 20% because I felt as though it was all worth it. The price is worth it in my opinion, & cash only is a small price to pay for some fantastic food.

TL;DR: Cash only. 10/10 worth it. Great food. Great people.

Finally tried this somewhat new local spot for a weekend brunch & we loved it. Sat at the bar, great service, cool retro vibes & yummy food. They were easy to adapt to my no- meat & gluten free diet. Will definitely be back.
