Overall, everything was fairly average and didn't quite feel worth the price point. The 4oz beef broth shot had good flavor (kind of like gravy) but definitely not worth the $7-$8. The standout for me was actually the pickled chilis in the breakfast sandwich, instead of being tart, they were sweet and surprisingly delicious.

The toast was crispy on the outside, soft in the middle, and those warm, juicy peaches on top added a sweet, tangy kick that just worked.

Everything on the plate was cooked just right and hit that comfort food zone without being heavy. Flavours were balanced, portions were solid...this one definitely served. Rating: 4.7 out of 5

We arrived around 11am on a long weekend and they had plenty of tables available, but by the time we were leaving, all the tables were full. You need to order your food first and get seated after. They bring your order to you, but if you need a coffee refill, or milk and cream, you need to pick them up yourself at the station. Coffee refill was a challenge for us, since we had to go through all other tables and wait for the staff to refill our coffee, and even there were times they were out of milk and had to drink our coffee black. We ordered "Key West Eggs", "Crepe au Fraises", "Slow Roasted Lamb" and "Canadian Peameal Back Bacon". Our food was delicious and we would love to go back and try more of their menu items. Just expecting delays for our coffee this time. Lol

The Balsamic Chicken (with bacon, goat cheese, roasted red peppers, spinach and pesto aioli) was fantastic, and had excellent flavours. The side dipping sauce was delicious. The Florence St. Sandwich (with tomatoes, artichokes, Asiago and sun dried tomato pesto) was good, but I didn't enjoy the flavours as much so would probably try something different the next time. I would have preferred to select my own bread since the ciabatta and panini was hard to cut through with a knife - it got messy. It would have been better if it was cut in half before being served to the customer to make it easier to eat. After ordering from the counter, there was sign to wait to be seated. Service just to get seated was extremely slow. In the end, we asked someone if we could seat ourselves, which we did. The food was then brought to the table, but it was confusing since we had to get up again to go to a different counter to put cream and sugar in our coffee. Although the portion size of the chicken and ingredients were good, the sandwiches were pricey considering there was no table service, and seating was disorganized. It would be difficult to host large groups or families here. It would have been ok to reduce the amount of chicken to cut costs and price since there were two thick layers of meat. Ambiance was good.

We started with mimosas... They didn't have any additional flavors so we just got orange mimosas but they were good. Way more juice than Prosecco, but that's all right. I had chicken with eggs and potato, and it was super delicious. I really would've wanted to eat all of it, but we were going to a dinner later that evening so I tried to save it. But I definitely didn't wanna let it go to waste so I took it to go . Akeem Tried the Canadian Peameal bacon with sausage eggs and potato. Overall, this was a great place and I believe if you were a regulars, it would've been a great experience, but because we were unfamiliar faces, I feel like we were looked over a little bit initially however they did redeem themselves with the perfection of the food ! The restaurant was neat and clean and they had an outside patio section, which was great for a beautiful day !

We ordered the Simon Says with a side of Breakfast Poutine, Chicken & Waffle, Double Americano and Caramel Cappuccino. (a) Simon Says - Bacon, ham and sausage mix omelette with 3 cheese blend, lettuce, tomatoes, red onions and fine herb mayonnaise. It was served on a soft brioche bun. The fine herb mayonnaise created a creamy balance with the 3 cheese blend which complemented the bacon, ham and sausage mix omelette very well. The breakfast poutine is a must try. (b) Chicken & Waffle - Crispy Chicken Breast with BBQ sauce served with waffles and pur & simple potatoes. The chicken was crispy and seasoned well. The waffles were buttery and soft. Their pur & simple potatoes had a crispy crust which was great. I was quite disappointed with the portion as there was only one piece of chicken breast in this dish. The chicken was definitely not enough as I only got to eat with barely 1/2 of the serving of the waffles. It was 80% carbohydrates and 20% protein. Overall, the dishes were delicious. I'd love to come back and try their other breakfast dishes.

I was in town from Boston for a wedding and felt lucky to stumble across this spot -- it's the kind of place you hope to find when you travel. I noticed right away that they serve all-day breakfast, and everything on the menu looked so tempting. I had the Mediterranean omelette, homemade carrot cake, and couldn't resist and got myself the coconut cream pie too. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and generously portioned -- true comfort food and the menu had so many amazing portions. What stood out most was the people. My waitress, Sarah, was incredibly kind and extremely attentive above and beyond, and Don even stopped by my table to personally introduce himself and greet me, say thank you, and check in. They need to have more Sarah's and Dons in restaurants and management. That kind of welcoming, family-owned service is so rare today -- it truly felt like being invited into someone's home. Everyone seemed genuinely happy to be there, and the food came out hot and delicious. El Spero has that rare, cozy, family-owned charm where the staff truly care about every guest. I'll definitely be back and will be telling my snowbird friends from Naples and Southwest Florida -- especially those that live in the Toronto area too -- to make this a stop whenever they're home. El Spero is outstanding: the perfect mix of amazing food, genuine people, and family-owned hospitality. A family-owned spot this welcoming and delicious makes you wish every hometown had one -- I'd go every day.

Having been back here close to a dozen times over the last decade, I can firmly say this place is the perfect combination of gastro-ingenuity and traditional staples done right. The vibe is "industrial chic," which is essentially code for "I'm feeling something fancy, but still want to be able to visit in my Kirkland shorts." The food has a heavy focus on local ingredients, with flavors that are incredibly tight and well-balanced. The steak frites are so tender I'm pretty sure they were cut with a polite suggestion rather than a knife. The scallops are meaty and perfectly cooked. And of course the burger is absolutely mouthwatering and make it the tempting default option during each visit. The appetizers are all fantastic, Kat and the Korean cauliflower takes the cake! For desert, their house cheesecake is phenomenal, and their in house amber ale is full and flavourful. Our server was on the ball; the water was never empty, and the check ins were always at the right time. Verdict: 10/10. If you want western food with a fun twist and high quality ingredients, this is one spot you must check out!

I ordered the Steak/Mushroom "Angus Eggs Benedict" ($18.75) with an extra egg ($1.50). The Benny had a very unique flavour profile but it totally worked. The eggs were made to perfection (runny but not overly so) & the Angus portion had lots of onions. This was a delicious breakfast. I asked for the potatoes to be over fried & they were & equally as delicious. The only minor issue was the meal wasn't hot enough. Around the edges the food was even a bit cool.
