The Ewenwich was the best sandwich I've ever had and was great value as a lunch item, we even had leftovers. We toasted it in a pan when we got home for an extra level of crispiness. Don't miss out on this one! The crepes were more of what I would expect from an average place for a fair enough price, I would've appreciated more caramelization on the mushrooms and onions, as well as more cheese or greens to bind the filling together, but the accompanying side salad of the day was a nice touch and big enough to split! Restaurant experience: 5/5 Ewenwich: 5/5 Savoury crepes: 3.5/5

The food was very good; the homemade bread a bit "meh," sort of dry and not chewy. Service was very mixed; we couldn't even get the server's attention to get a coffee or water refill. A few bones in the fish but that's to be expected with pickerel. The strangest part was the register to pay for the meal if you don't want to hand your card to a server (which, to reiterate, is hard to attract.) The station is at the entry where people wait to get in, and it was some time before someone came to take the payment. They do take reservations, and often are pretty busy with locals. We even saw a party that didn't have a reservation leave because they couldn't get a table for quite a while - and this was on a Thursday, relatively early. I'm glad my cousin likes this place, but I wasn't impressed.

The French onion soup was really thick with cheese at the top, perhaps a bit too much so. The carrot salad was really pleasant to eat and felt healthy. The burger had a nice flavor and texture to it; the bun was a bit sweet, and the fries were tasty, but not super crisp though crisp enough, and a bit salty. The leek tartine was a bit monolithic, the leek being too oily and the bread a bit flat. It was overpriced by about $6 or $7 in my opinion. Wish there was as little more going for it. The crepes were decent; the nutella crepe was particularly sweet. For dessert, the roulé au chocolat was top notch, with a freshly whipped cream accompanying a sturdy and flavorful chocolate roll cake. Music was good too! All in all a good way to spend time eating and having a bite with friends and family prior to a show.

I could not get enough of those fries. They were perfectly fried and seasoned and the aioli was excellent. For my main I went with the Karaage fried chicken bento box which was a generous portion of chicken with a peanut crunch salad, "scattered" omelette sushi, pork and shrimp gyoza, and a side of miso soup. It was all SO good and SO much food! I was uncomfortably full by the time we finished and packed mine up to go (the chicken made an excellent midnight snack later that night when I had the munchies back at our apartment!) Price point is great, portions are generous, staff was lovely, and the space itself was clean, comfortable, and welcoming. Can't ask for much more! We'll definitely be back!

I stopped by for a lunch before heading to Elora and ordered a halibut & chips and added on grilled shrimp on the side.

Fries were great as well but would like to see more fries on the plate. Shrimp was also really really good. I think it's hard to screw up grilled shrimp but their seasoning was cajun style and very good. Probably won't be in the area often but it's a great spot for some great fish and chips and clearly a neighbourhood classic.
