I love Pur & Simple and I have been to multiple locations of them. The menu includes variety of egg benedict, skillets, French toast, waffles, crepes, pancakes, burgers and sandwiches, gourmet omelettes, avocado toast, cocktails, smoothies and coffee. The staff are friendly and helpful. I always go with Benedict or pancakes, but this time I decided to try Ray's Extravaganza Skillet and I wasn't disappointed. It was perfectly balanced with spices and fresh ingredients. I also tried Very Berry smoothie and it was super delicious. read more

Delicious and lovely atmosphere. Took Little Miss here for breakfast before school and we had a fun time. The food was hot and filling. Little pricy though. read more

This place is good but not great. I had the cinnamon pancakes or something like that. It was kind of noisy due to it being one room. The service was friendly and straight to the point. My only other complaint is that the chairs were EXTREMELY uncomfortable. They were little wooden chairs and they're never it. read more

Not bad. I enjoyed it and would go back again. easy location to reach. Pancakes looked great

Poor service. Told me I was wrong about there being onions in their home fries despite having them before without onions & did not apologize. Will not come back to this location again. read more

Saw we had a new chain in Dartmouth & just had to view the menu. Looked amazing but more importantly - it tasted amazing! I ordered the crab cake Benedict which was made to perfection. Spicy hollandaise was delicious but I'm not much of a spice person, so will sub for regular (I had some on the side this time!) The only complaint I have is that the server said we could sub homefries for fruit - but did not mention "at an extra cost". I was going to see if I could sub my potato for bacon at the same cost but thought it was great that fruit was the option. Will be back to try PLENTY off of the menu, mm! Here are the meals from my table; read more

Delicious Breakfast and Brunch items. Huge servings. Fresh fruit, waffles, French toast and burgers. Great coffee too!

My mother and I went to the Pur and Simple on Washmill Lake Drive yesterday morning at 8am.. not too long after them opening for the day. My mother ordered bacon and eggs (the Canadian) and i ordered a crepe (oh la la) the whole crepe was ice cold, and my mother had sent back her food because it was cold to the touch. When the waitress offered to remake, she did not remake my mom's eggs, or toast and didn't seem to care too much about the fact our meal was cold, and overall; just not good. Not worth $55 for just two people. read more

I first heard of it about a week ago and after checking out the online menu, knew it was a MUST try as soon as possible. The actual menu in person is a magazine in thickness, the breakfast lover's dream. LOL Lots of free ample parking. Pretty big inside, with seating I would guess for 100, high ceilings, lots of natural light, a TV on each far wall, basic tables, partial view of the kitchen through glass walls. Friendly staff. I first tried it at 8am on a Saturday and we were only the 2nd or 3rd table taken. Started with the Peanut Butter Blast smoothie (strawberries, bananas, PB and chocolate milk) which was creamy and very good, of course too filling to add to a big breakfast, unless you are a massive eater. My Mexican skillet (steak, black bean, peppers & corn blend, red onion, tomato, white cheddar topped with avocado, mild salsa & sour cream on a bed of home fries with one egg) is massive itself. It tasted quite good, although some of the cold topping on the side I pushed a bit away from the hot parts of the dish to keep them warm. My friend had the Two Eggs (with bacon) that comes with thick, white buttered, fresh toast that he loved, actually saying it is one of the best toasts he's had. Decent coffee I think is unlimited. We both walked away pleased, myself overly full. I actually came back for a 2nd visit the next day! It was after 10am this time and the place was quite busy, not enough to have a wait, but getting closer to capacity. The Breakfast Brioche was very good (egg, bacon, yellow cheddar, lettuce, tomato, avocado & fresh herb mayo on a soft brioche bun that has their P&S logo stamped on it). The server asked if I wanted cheese on the home fries, which is not common I find, so I said yes. It looked like spaghetti when it arrived - clearly the cheese was put into some kind of dispenser, and not really melted, but started to melt a bit on the home fries, and was good albeit not a large amount. Nonetheless, I do look forward to coming here again soon, probably for a lunch to try something sweeter. 3rd visit: the following weekend on a Sunday at about 7:30. I was the only customer for the first few minutes, which was nice and relaxing. Friendly service still. I tried the 'Avocado Bacon' (2 poached eggs, smashed avocado, bacon, yellow cheddar, arugula, microgreens, tomatoes on 12 grain toast with choice of fruit or home fries. I didn't say anything at the time, but I'd have recommended that the tomato, egg, cheese maybe all be put in the oven and then the cold ingredients put on last minute. The whole dish was cold and the cheese slice not melted, so I didn't enjoy it near as much as I would've if it was still partly warm. I believe the dish is meant to be served this way, so just my preference and not an actual complaint. Otherwise, I will busting full again and still will come back here, but be more aware of dishes with hot & cold ingredients. 4th visit: 8:30am Saturday, not too busy. Californian omelette (FIVE eggs, bacon, caramelized apple, Swiss cheese). Very tasty. Massive, with home fries. Detox smoothie (blueberries, pineapple, banana, Greek yogurt, OJ) very delicious and creamy. Friendly service. 5th visit: 9am Sunday, not too busy again. Sante Fee eggs benny (black bean, peppers & corn blend, avocado, red onion, tomatoe, white cheddar, spicy drizzle). Much better than the 'Avocado Bacon' above. The cheese was still not melted, but the heat of the English muffin and egg softened the cheese at least. The spicy drizzle reminded me of a Sriracha, but gave the kick that slight kick that helped. read more

Over priced bacon tasted like microwaved ready crisp the ham was a peice of lunch meat and the sausage lacked any flavour . French toast was good Not worth 60 bucks for two people . read more

Had the pleasure of celebrating my daughter's birthday with a delicious brunch. The restaurant is clean, we'll laid out for social distancing. The service and food was amazing, highly recommend the restaurant. As a MS person living with mobility issue, I was saddened that the front entrance does not have accessible entry. The doors are heavy and difficult to open. Great location, great food and service! thumb down because they are not barrier free. So sad read more

Love going here for brunch! Always amazing food, and friendly staff! Seems like a busy spot but we've never had to wait to be seated. Love the hollandaise sauce, both the spicy and regular stuff! I usually go for the eggs Benedict or the breakfast poutine, and my partner goes for the skillets! read more

Found this amazing new breakfast place PUR&SIMPLE on Portland street Dartmouth . It's like breakfast places from Toronto, better than Cora and bigger portions . Average dish 13-15$. It has been in business for three weeks now here in Halifax but has franchises all over Canada . Great staff , menu and food Kid friendly and even have HEALTHY meal options . I went to Elle's bistro and that was nothing in comparison to PuR&SImPLE. Will definitely go there again They also have early bird option which is cheaper breakfast till 8:30 AM on weekdays read more

The first time we went, it was to busy but we thought with that many people weighting it must be good. We went back a few days later for breakfast just to check it out. We were seated fairly quick, and got our first cup of coffee "good coffee" every cup after that was a struggle. We ordered a simple breakfast two eggs over easy. 15 minutes later we received our order. The eggs were cooked perfectly, the only problem is they were cold. The bacon they use is made for sandwiches, it's the kind of bacon you get at Tim Horton's way to smoky for breakfast. They garnish the plates with fresh fruit; this way they can charge more you know. They call it perceived value. We looked over at the expiditers station, he was looking at about 10 tickets. Either the service staff is stacking tickets or they have to many seats to serve. For our food to be served cold there is a disconnect somewhere and the food is sitting to long in the window. Final thoughts. To expensive, very noisy, nice decor, not enough service staff for the implied value. We will not go back again, there are way better places to get a breakfast. read more

Food was OK ordered Skillet way to many potato wedges not much else.

Food was pretty good. The servers were very attentive. Maybe even to the point where it became annoying. Because it's pretty open, it's pretty noisy. Maybe throw up a drop ceiling to dampen it. read more

Found this place from Halifax Retales. The place was very busy as would expect for a Saturday morning but the staff were always happy and smiling. Service was quick, always checking up on people and everything was fresh. Delicious spot and very good portion sizes. Definitely found my new favorite breakfast spot! Will be back. read more

Best food and quick. The portions are great and variety is amazing! I had a skillet and smoothie. Both were great and service was fast. Besides the line up out the doot this place was worth the wait. read more

Really good food. Me and my partner really enjoyed our breakfasts. Only thing that sucked was the wait time of 45 mins but what did I expect going at lunch hour the busiest time no one's fault. But their food is to die for read more

As advertised! Food is absolutely fantastic. Atmosphere is bright and energetic (as the place is busy). I have been here twice and both meals were great. The Sante Fe was a very unique breakfast!! Love it. This place WILL become very popular!! read more
