To start our long day in Saskatoon, my boyfriend and I began with Poached Breakfast Bistro. While my boyfriend just had a Double Espresso ($4.3), I got the Peanut Butter Hot Chocolate ($8), Poached Over Crab & Shrimp Risotto Cakes ($21) with Pecan & Maple Syrup Bacon Roll-Ups ($7.5). I'm very impressed with the menu and drink options. They have plenty of unique options and you can really feel the creativity in what they offer. The interior was also very unique, it's an older building but modernized with an artistic touch while incorporating its vintage roots. My boyfriend said his coffee was good, didn't taste burnt. The bar is in Hell for good coffee in Regina. My hot chocolate was made with frothed creamy peanut butter and chocolate almond milk. It made a welcome nutty flavour combination that was unique yet delicious. I also loved that it smelled strongly of peanut butter. Being at a restaurant named "Poached" I had to get poached eggs. My dish consisted off house made shrimp, pollock crab and white wine risotto cakes, flavoured with Dijon and Dill, along with 2 poached eggs and herbed hollandaise sauce and a side of rye toast. As an additional side, I ordered their classic house made bacon rollups. These are made with crushed pecans and pure maple syrup then topped with a hint of cayenne for heat. Honestly, it was a lot of food. You don't need the bacon rollups but the were SO good that I recommend trying them. My cakes were crispy on the outside yet hot and soft on the inside. The taste was mild, fresh and comforting. It was perfect for such a cold day and I wouldn't change a thing about this dish. I highly recommend this restaurant and everything we ordered. Thank you to everyone that suggested this spot. It's my cousin's favourite brunch spot in Saskatoon and now I understand why! read more

What a terrific spot! As is obvious from the name of this spot, they specialize in riffs on eggs Benedict, They have all the usual breakfast choices as well. Their atmosphere is cozy yet modern, with dining areas a bit divided up to make it feel intimate once you sit down. Service was quick and friendly. We can recommend the poached eggs on cheesy hash browns and the omelet. They have fresh squeezed orange juice and their rye toast is very fresh. Everything tasted very fresh and there was no hint of greasiness like at some breakfast spots. Just wonderful. read more

The good folks at The Little Grouse recommended Poached and I'm so glad they did. This menu is breakfast decadence and selecting something isn't easy because everything, seriously, seems so appetizing. I chose the Poached Over Crab and Shrimp Risotto Cakes. The eggs were deliciously soft perched atop the cakes that melted in my mouth. If I lived in Saskatoon, I might be here every morning. read more

$21 1/2 order plus any a la carte item: a Benny Poached in herb hollandaise served with rye toast, over pollock Crab & Shrimp white-wine Risotto Cakes with Pecan & Maple Syrup Bacon Rolls (originally $7.5, but included in the combo). The Bennie is good, and the Pecan Bacon Rolls are heavenly. read more

Two of us came for breakfast based on the rave reviews. First of all, they get a rare 5 stars from me. Right from entry through to departure, the staff were amazing. Well done to the owners for creating such a warm and friendly atmosphere. The food was equal to the task. Absolutely amazing from presentation to taste. Perfect in every way. Even the coffee was excellent. I can not recommend this venue enough and I will certainly be making it my "go to" place for the future. Spectacular. read more

Fabulous spot for breakfast/brunch. The eggs Bennie were perfect. My wife has hers on hash brown patties, mine were served on crab cakes. Sausage sides were exquisite. Coffee was wonderful, strong but very smooth. Service was quick and polite. It was a nice environment but the table next to us was too close (or perhaps that lady was just too loud?) but even with that (her) the breakfast was well worth the $71 tab. Gave them a good tip. A great spot for that morning meal! read more

Our family of 7 had a wonderful brunch experience at OEB. The hostess was quick to seat us when we got there, and our waitress was pleasant when taking our order. Our orders were hot and delicious, as always! Thanks! OEB is our favorite place to have brunch because of the food and the atmosphere! read more

Came here for breakfast, had an almond milk London fog and the breakfast plate with farmers sausage, rye toast, croquettes, and bacon-pecan rollups. It was quite delicious and the spot it uniquely cafe like. At night time it becomes a cocktail lounge called Flynt.. The service was good, but we didn't have consistency, there were 4 different girls who served us and ran food. Would return, however, expect to spend $60 for 2ppl including tip! read more

My go to breakfast place when in Saskatoon. Beautifully poached soft medium egg covered in velvety hollandaise on top of a thick cut bacon and English muffin. Order but the classic benedict. Anything else is travesty to the name. read more

Amazing vibe, fantastic service, and the most tasty food. Tried the Baileys infused French Toast and the portions were small yet dense so very filling (I'm a French toast connoisseur). In addition, my son tried the berry bowl and considered fresh and tasty. Pretty epic and looking forward to our next visit! read more

Food was great and we enjoyed the ambience and the mimosas! I will def be back the next time that I visit Saskatoon!

Eggs benny was delish. Crab cakes hunnit. Had an interesting menu selection. Staff were uber helpful. Decor was snazzy. 10/10 will go again.

If you are a vegan call ahead to verify they have the vegan selections offered. Unfortunately for me this was not the case but to their credit they helped modify what options they did have to make it work. The food is tasty and service is great. I will visit again when in town but will call ahead. read more

Not a very big restaurant but they have an amazing brunch lineup, so make sure you go early so you can get a seat. Spectacular eggs benny plus gluten free options (I'll admit, any restaurant with GF options I will be biased to). Despite my bias, you can trust me when I say this, you need to go there. Sure its a tad on the pricey side, but that comes with the territory, they serve great food in the heart of downtown. read more

Very trendy. Nice presentation. The eggs were cooked perfectly. Personally the hash brown wasn't my favorite. Just seemed like a gooey mash of things and was a bit under cooked. Sausages were ok. A bit on the pricey side for what I got. That plate was about $20 The waitress however was very friendly and pleasant read more

First time for brunch at 'Poached' on 2nd Ave. Nice atmosphere with a small storefront cafe setting. The Eggs bene on crab and shrimp cakes were wonderful in presentation and taste. Definitely recommended as a place for smaller groups. 4 stars only because I've only been here this one time. read more

I think this little restaurant might deserve more than 3 stars but the wait once I got a table, $2 for a refill of coffee and the poached egg over crab cakes were all disappointing. I waited almost 15 minutes once I was seated for the very nice waitress to take my order, another 35 minutes to receive my food. Too long. The day I was there the wait to get a seat was 45 minutes. Add all this up and breakfast can take a couple hours easily.....call ahead. The fresh squeezed OJ was the best ever. Perfect. I thought the $2 refill at a breakfast restaurant was ridiculous but whatever. I eat a lot of crab cakes. The best being around the Chesapeake, but these things just did not taste like crab cakes. At all. I normally clear my plate, but I only ate one. Very disappointing. Presentation was great, the dish just missed its mark. Prices are reasonable, and staff was great. I'll be back next time I'm in Saskatoon. I'll just won't have the "crab cakes" read more

This place is incredible. The atmosphere is wonderful- service is great. The food is to die for. The bacon roll ups are out of this world. I am gluten free and there were many options for me here.

Great breakfast spot...always delicious! Eggs Benedict - the butternut crunch was amazing. Perfect amount of spice and goodness!

I really enjoyed the pollock crab cakes. The eggs were poached nicely and the roasted red pepper sauce gave it a nice kick. The atmosphere was great and the server was really nice and courteous. The look and feel of this place was very upbeat, bright and vibrant. I would definitely recommend this place. If your going here with a large group of friends, I would especially advise to make a reservation and this place is always busy. Overall, I can't wait to come back here and try new things the next time I'm in town! read more

Burnt bacon and burnt maple syrup roll ups on the side. Bacon was raw on the inside yuck Side of spinach salad with goat cheese and dressing was unusual. I prefer fruit and to not have dressing soaking into my Bennie Bennie was good, cheese added nothing but cheese strings to the dish? read more

This place was recommended by the front desk at the hotel at which we were staying. I ordered orange juice. I get a really small glass almost filled with ice cubes diluting what I think is orange juice that tastes like I don't know what. The charge for this dishwater is $4.25. What! (they did take it off the bill). The coffee wasn't fresh. It was 'burnt' by sitting in the pot too long. Server said "do you want a refill?". "Well, okay, is there a charge". "Yes, $2.00". Huh? The eggs and bagel we ordered were okay. The place is tight with tables very close to each other (we did meet some nice people next to us). I know they have to run a business. But, if you're going to charge what I think are outrageous prices you have to, at a minimum, ensure that the quality of everything you serve is the best. read more

Poached is the best breakfast in saskatoon. The menu is great. If u have to wait it's worth it. Its truly amazing. read more

They've almost perfected their eggs benny mainstay, but it is expensive and the usual effete noisy, crowded get-them through-quickly modern yuppy dining experience, much worsened by the pathetically overpriced coffee. They insist on serving too- dark-roasted - therefore bitter - which any real coffee lover knows is a vile way to ruin coffee. Worse, they insist on serving it as "Americano". read more

The food is actually very good and well-prepared. Unfortunately, the waitresses were not very welcoming, a little bit on the snobby side as if it was so special to eat in such a place. That is really too bad as it spoiled the food experience. read more

Poached was an excellent place for a mid week breakfast special occasion. The restaurant has an excellent atmosphere, well lit with interesting artwork and a bustling breakfast crowd for a Wednesday morning. Our waitress was attentive and bubbly, she checked in on us regularly for coffee and adequately addressed our questions regarding the menu. I ordered the classic eggs Benedict and was not disappointed. Eggs were cooked soft and served on a thick and juicy cut of ham and english muffin, not to leave out the well balanced buttery hollandaise. On the side were a number of cherry tomatoes in some kind of creamy vinaigrette which cut the richness of the eggs Benedict quite adequately. They looked slightly out of place on the plate but were lovely to eat, which in the end matters most- does it not? Certainly a place I'd come again for breakfast. read more

I had a free weekday in Saskatoon and wanted brunch. I rarely have weekdays off, so enjoying a proper array of breakfast foods was a must, considering how busy brunch places tend to get on the weekends. After a quick Yelp search, we determined that Poached Breakfast Bistro might be a good option. Yelpers - you did good. It was a full house when we showed up, even on a weekday. However, the wait was not long, and less than 10 minutes after I gave them my name and number, a seat was ready for us. The restaurant is tiny but quaint, and has a lot of character. Normally my sweet tooth rules when it comes to brunch (so the cinnamon bun french toast menu option was SUPER tempting), but I opted for a standard breakfast platter. Or rather, I thought it was going to be standard? How many potato, bacon, and egg plates have you enjoyed where the bacon is rolled and stuffed with maple infused pecans? How many breakfast platters have you eaten where, rather than boring home fries, come with potato balls that are crispy on the outside but completely melt in our mouth on the inside? Every bite was incredible, bursting with flavour, and hugely filling. My husband was shocked when I encourage him to finish my bacon roll-ups because I simply could not eat another bite. It killed me not to finish them myself, they were so good! (As a side note, the table next to me got the cinnamon bun french toast and it looked INCREDIBLE as well). The service was prompt and friendly - we couldn't of asked for more! Over my weekend in Saskatoon I told anybody who would listen about my delicious brunch, and now I'm telling you. Yelp got me here, and I feel the need to return the favour. We were visiting from Toronto, the land of delicious brunch foods (seriously, brunch is a weekend institution here), and this meal was equal to (if not BETTER) than many of the brunches I've enjoyed in my big city. read more

Excellent service!! And the food was delicious!! I had some kind of egg Benedict on top of some kind of Arancinis filled with crab & shrimp... Something very creative but delicious!!

In addition the location is very convenient with many stores around is a great place for a walk... I just recommend making Resos... I was able to find a table because I arrived early... But the place was very busy very soon and people had to wait to get a table... read more
