Très belle ambiance j'adore les œufs Benedict la sauce ne semble pas une sauce en poudre comme les autres. La pizza une des meilleurs en ville. Le souvlaki au porc est toujours pareil au goût et en portion. J'avoue que dernièrement les quantités semble avoir diminué et le prix augmenté. Ceci et un peut décevant. Bon ceci et la norme avec l'inflation a vous de jugé.

Eldon's is probably better suited to the community than something that was obviously catering mainly to the Lansdowne game night crowd. This was our second visit after our first one in August 2018. Eldon's has a rather short menu featuring various breakfast choices, then soup, salads and 3 sandwiches choices for lunch. The food is good. We had a beet and ginger soup that was delicious, served with a small salad that had a nice dressing, but contained a few decaying lettuce leaves in the mix of otherwise tasty greens (I know how hard it is to get your plastic bin of greens to keep fresh in the winter, but you really do have to pick through them more attentively). Also served with "toast" which is actually grilled rather than toasted and was very nice. They have a blackboard with wine and beer selections, but they were out of the wine we ordered and hadn't updated the board. We picked another from a rather short wine list. They do have a bar with an excellent selection of teas and coffees. Their espresso was one of the better ones I've had in Ottawa. The place was busy on a Saturday during Winterlude, but service was attentive and prompt.

Variations of egg and meats (sausage, bacon, ham, cretons, roast pork, tourtiere), eggs Benedict, various breakfast sandwiches and crepes. Most of the plates come with coffee or tea.

Mazarine offers amazing Mediterranean inspired brunch offerings in Centretown. The indoor seating…read moreis not accessible, as there are at least four steps. The inside of the restaurant is a bit tight, so if you use a mobility device, this could be an issue. There is outdoor seating which is accessible, but only available for parties of one or two. I forgot to use the bathrooms so I can't speak to those. The menu offers lots of vegetarian options, but almost every meal has eggs or cheese as a main ingredient; vegans may not be able to make this menu work. Be prepared to wait over an hour for a table on the weekend; the food is so amazing that this place cannot keep up with demand. If you have the ability to wait though, I'd HIGHLY recommend it. I had the salmon avocado toast and it was wonderful. The zatar drizzle and sour dough bread were such innovative and exciting choices! My friends had the Shakshuka and the beef kofta and really enjoyed them. If I'm looking for a brunch in Centretown that's creative and exciting, this is the place to go.

As a brunch enthusiast, I knew I had to try out Mazarine after reading the reviews. The place…read moreitself was a decent size with a few seating options, but as many mentioned before, be prepared for a wait. My sister and I came around 11:30am and put our names on the electronic waitlist. We're a party of 2 and was about 9th in line with an approximate wait time of 60 minutes. While waiting, we decided to walk to Chinatown to explore. I would say that 60 mins is common and expected for most brunch places in every city. I'm from Toronto and this is the same there. I was able to track the waitlist on my phone easily and started heading back when we were 4th in line. The menu is quite limited, but they had all of the classic brunch items available, plus Shashuka. I wasn't feeling too hungry by the time we sat down, so I opted for the mushroom and cheese omelet with an espresso salted honey latte on the side. My sister got the classic breakfast. The latte was quite on the bitter side, but I'm okay with that. The omelet was cheesy, delicious and didn't feel too heavy. The potatoes were crispy as well. I enjoyed my meal. Overall, a solid brunch spot.

We were asked…read moreif we had a reservation for lunch, we thought this odd as it was a weekday and just for lunch. As we went to our seats (small place) we were in awe of the funky art on the walls. There was a bear mural that was 3D and it was also a robot looking bear. Super funky. It appeared to be a BBQ joint but it was also coffee and amazing food. As we were waiting for our food, the placed flooded with people. It was packed for lunch. Every table taken. This gave us the idea that this was going to be good. I got my Cesar Salad with fried chicken on top and hubby got a burger. The salad was amazing. Just popping with flavor, and nuggets of pork. The chicken was just a perfect accompaniment. It had some honey flavor and sooo crispy. Hubby's burger was okay. There was a char to it that ended up ruling over all the other flavors. We also had started with brisket burnt ends. They were just amazing nuggets of brisket! I highly recommend this place. They apparently also have a brunch on the weekends. They also do coffee which I love. What's not to like? Street parking was easy. IF you are coming for lunch or dinner, make sure you either get there early or make a reservation. Our service was good. Bathrooms clean. Place was clean.

My friend and I both got the skillet which had potatoes, egg, and hollandaise sauce. It wasn't bad but it was nothing special. I thought it was weird that the eggs were scrambled and not poached / sunny side up and runny.. My friend's skillet had a hair in the sauce. She told the staff and they took it off the bill with no questions. We appreciated that about the service. Since the review is pretty limited based on one item, I would definitely give it another go, maybe for the dinner menu.

Our server was very friendly and brought us some English menus, no fault on him. The food took a long time to come out and there were some mistakes such as bacon on a plate that was supposed to be sausage. I had the caramelized pear crepe, and it was just ok. It was honestly very bland. The American crepe was too salty and the bacon was cold. The potatoes were excellent! Some of the best breakfast potatoes I've ever had. Overall a really mixed experience. The bathroom is of poor design, urinals right next to the sink in a shared bathroom space? Not great. The condom machine is a really weird choice for a crepe place as well... I didn't HATE my experience but I don't think I'd recommend it.

So when we decided to come to Ottawa for a quick getaway, of course we had to pop in for some food. Our server couldn't possibly have been nicer or more friendly, and the vibe was exactly what I wanted it to be. We decided to share a Caesar Salad and a Philly Steak Poutine, the latter of which our server invented himself decades ago! Both dishes were phenomenal. The salad was hearty and rich, and the poutine was as decadent and cheesy as you'd hope. The meat was plentiful and tender, and the whole thing was just so delicious and well assembled. I'm very happy that Elgin Street Diner hasn't lost a step all these years later.
