Brunch très copieux & très bon (pour le plat que j'ai choisi), la shashouka était excellente. Menu très diversifié, sucré, salé, Sucré-salé. Je recommande !

Where do we start The staff were exceptional - so kind & responsive!! I had the pistachio latte & it was amazing!! Not too sweet & loads of crushed pistachios. Absolutely wonderful. My daughter had the Rejuvenate smoothie - wow what a beautiful presentation & burst of fresh fruit. My hubby got Huevos Rancheros - packed with fresh ingredients, a huge serving & extra hot sauce! My daughter got the strawberry nutella French Toast & the portion size was unreal!!! She could only eat one piece but was in Nutella heaven. I got the Pink Salmon Eggs Benny - 2 poached organic eggs, smoked salmon, citrus, ginger & chives cream cheese, avocadoes, marinated onions, topped with a beet juice infused hollanddaise sauce, on a bagel. Quite possibly the best EB I've ever had! Absolutely incredible!!! The homemade breakfast potatoes are soooo savoury!! A decadent treat for all of us. We literally stumbled upon this place - from the zany decor to the fun vibe, customer service & amazing food - we highly recommend & will be coming back!! Thank you for your attention to detail! These Yellowknifers will be back again!!
Wow, quelle belle découverte. 1er fois & excellent service avec un repas super délicieux. La sauce tomate est tellement bonne. & le café extra. Très bon service du bartender Wahaab, très amical & super gentil. On n'y retournera c'est certain😁!!
Food: Pecan French toast breakfast plate was delicious. On the sweet side, but was full of flavour & topped with a delicious syrup that left me wanting to lick the plate. Potatoes were better than you're ready for, not fried but maybe pan tossed with herbs. Bacon & eggs were yummy as a staple side that went very well with the baguette to make a sandwich. Drinks: I ordered a chai latte & the small was a great portion, could barely finish it after the large breakfast plate. Wasn't artificially sweet & I added my own sugar - not very spicy but good nonetheless. My souse ordered a hot chocolate that was good as well. Atmosphere: Playlist was a little odd, sounded like someone hooked up their Spotify & played their liked songs on random. The volume was too loud & hard to hear each other talking. Otherwise good for families & kids. Entertaining wall decor & stuff hanging from ceiling.
First time at this restaurant on a Sunday morning, 20 minute wait... not too bad for almost being 11am. Great upbeat atmosphere & fresh look for a place to have brunch. My server was very pleasant & visited my table multiple times to refresh our coffee, water & to see if all was good, & she spoke to us in french & english. The quality of the food was above par from what you would expect from a brunch place. Albeit they had a couple lower priced dishes on the menu, most of the dishes were a little on the high side, but imo its a fare exchange for better quality food & service. I would definitely return.
The food was okay not super great. The atmosphere was cute & I like the deco style even though it's a little all over the place. Our server was nice, but they don't seat you at your table unless EVERYONE is there which is inconvenient when you're a larger group. I had to leave & wait in my car. Not fun. They are on the pricier side compared to other brunch places that offer larger quantities. They have a small parking & there's a large parking lot nearby. Would I go again? Probably not unless someone is coming out of town & REALLY wants to go.

Déjeuner un peu hors de l'ordinaire. Nous étions situés dans la section centrale avec des tables à deux séparées par un simple grillage. Ce fut très malaisant car deux autres personnes étaient assises juste à côté & nous entendions beaucoup trop bien leurs conversations. Je recommande vivement d'ajouter un plexi qui augmenterait grandement l'intimité. Belle endroit avec un décor qui détonne.
Food & service was good! Interesting menu that will entice you to come back to try out everything. Weird pricing for extras: $3.50 for cream cheese, also $3.50 for a sausage? (Certainly cream cheese should be cheaper than a sausage).
I got spoiled! Every other French Toast I've ever tried was a LIE! I tried their pistachio latte, it was excellent, too. The atmosphere & service was spot on. Do come early to avoid the afternoon rush.
