    Great restaurant in Elora. It is actually a fairly sized placed despite the smaller entrance. Host and servers were so nice. They took as many precautions as they can to keep patrons safe from COVID 19. The food is delicious and well made. I had the crispy chicken sandwich and caesar salad. Yum! Enjoyed my meal, enjoyed the view. Have already recommended this place to my friends.

    Dragon bowl

    Cute and busy restaurant by the river. St Germaine Spritz and hummus appetizer were shared and delicious. Dragon bowl was ok. Service was friendly, however there are were a lot of flies in the lower part of the restaurant.

    Burger and fries

    Great food and service. My family and I enjoyed our experience at this restaurant. We shared the calamari app - my kids devoured it! We each ordered a different item on the menu. I ordered the chicken sandwich with house salad. My wife had the burger with fries and my kids had the fettuccini Alfredo and grilled cheese from the kids menu. All of us tried each other's food and we all agreed the food was great. You won't go wrong eating here. Place was busy - family day weekend and all - so I suggest making reservations in advance. The only small minus was my chicken sandwich was slightly too crispy on one end but still delicious.

    Two piece fried chicken dinner

    If you get a chance to go to Elora this summer make sure to try their super moist and crispy chicken!!! I dipped mine in the gravy that came for the frites. Fantastic! Staff was very friendly and the patio is quite large but I recommend making a reservation because this place is busy. At the time of this posting they also offered takeout which is also very popular.

    Gazpacho soup, fried chicken with garlic aioli & chicken sandwich with fries.

    Yum, yum yum. Outdoor seating arranged in line with COVID guidelines; my gazpacho soup had drizzles of balsamic vinegar and olive oil & the fried chicken with garlic aioli was so well worth the wait. Wish I had more days here in Elora to go back for other items in the menu.

    Loved the soups we got here.

Overall a good lunch spot for soups salads and sandwiches. Service was friendly too :)

    I have been meaning to come here for the longest time! I've been on such a soup craving that its…read morenuts. So when my cousin decided on her birthday date that she would like to come to this establishment then I got excited. Located on Main Street Newmarket, this little shop has many soups selections to choose from. They also let you have a sample to make sure you're making the right choice! We both decided to get the soup, sandwich and a bottle of water ( $11 ) and boy did we make a good choice. Normally you would except a small soup bowl with a sandwich however this soup was in a HUGE (to me anyways lol) bowl with a full sized sandwich. My soup of choice was the chicken noodle with a ham & cheese croissant. I feel like chicken noodle is always a good staple to determine if it is worth coming back. I must say, it definitely was worth it. The chicken noodle soup was soo filling. Had some hearty vegetables and they definitely did not skip out on the chicken. I had to push myself to finish my sandwich as I was already too full! Thank you for amazing service and I am definitely coming back

    Tips: - The wild mushroom barley soup is fantastic! If you…read morelove mushrooms, get this soup. It's vegan. - Sign up for Zoup! rewards. I get discounts every Saturday, from $2 off my meal. I have also got a free bowl of soup and a free dessert that expired five days after the deal was in my offers in the Z! Eats app. Zoup! (also known as Z! Eats) currently has three locations in Ontario. I tend to go to the one on Dixie in Mississauga, as it's closest to my workplace. I decided to expand my horizons last Saturday by visiting this one in Newmarket while I was in the area running a few errands. This eatery is by highway 404, so it's convenient to get here. It's in the same plaza as Booster Juice. This eatery is in a row of four businesses, between Starbucks and Osmow's. I pulled into the parking lot on a Soggy Saturday. I pulled out my Z! Eats app and placed my order. I had a $2-off offer to use. I got the following items: - Wild mushroom barley soup - Pulled pork mac and cheese I paid through the app. I had to add a credit card. All was great. I got an estimated time of five minutes for my order to be ready. I got distracted seeing a bakery in the same plaza. I visited it while waiting for my order to be ready. I probably spent fifteen minutes at this bakery. Oops! I drove back to Z! Eats (it's a vast plaza) and got the same parking spot. I walked into the eatery. I was the only person here. I got a friendly man who happened to be the owner. I complimented his hours. This eatery is open till 7 pm on Saturdays. The Dixie location is open till 5 pm, but I have been there well before closing and it was already closed. It was a lovely chat. I wasn't expecting him to give me a coupon for a BOGO entree option the next time that I am here or at the Cambridge location. So nice! He asked me whether I wanted butter with my baguette. I said yes. He had my order ready and handed it over to me. He wished me a safe drive, as there was a freezing rain warning. I wished him the same thing when he hit the road in an hour. I took the backroads and then feasted at home. I am absolutely longing to have the wild mushroom barley soup again. It had so many sliced mushrooms, carrots, onions, barley, and more. It was hearty and delicious. I got a bowl. I find the cup to be too small. I haven't tried whatever the larger size is. I may need to get it next time. This soup was fabulous. It's also vegan. The pulled pork mac and cheese was excellent. I was pleasantly surprised to get shells. They were perfect to scoop up more of the cheesy sauce. The shells were cooked perfectly. I loved it. The pulled pork was generous. I liked that the barbeque sauce was drizzled over the pulled pork only. Sometimes, the sauce is overly sweet that it overpowers everything. The sauce was smoky and tangy. It was perfect without dominating the mac and cheese. I tend to have the baguette the next day for breakfast. I like making eggs, slicing the baguette in half, toasting it in a pan, and then putting scrambled eggs on top of each slice. The baguette is excellent and I always look forward to getting it with my soup. You can also get crackers instead of the baguette. If you don't like either, you can also say no thanks. It was my first time getting mac and cheese at Z! Eats. So good! I'll be back for more. This location had tables and chairs if you'd like to dine in. It was clean and cheerful. I'm glad that I dropped by this eatery. I'll be back for more. It's the closest location to my home. (115)
