Wilf & Ada's - Eggs Benny - Diners Near Me - Ottawa, Ontario

To be honest, I'm not a huge brunch fan, but if I'm going to do brunch, Wilf and Ada's is worth facing the crowds on a Sunday morning! Andre G. and I went with my in-laws and overall it was a pretty good experience! There was the expected 30-45 minute brunch wait. However, it was a beautiful day outside, so we put our name on the list and went outside to play Pokemon-Go and to chat! Once inside, we were greeted by a very friendly server.He recommended the avocado with eggs special, which sounded fantastic. And it was! It had perfectly crisp smoked bacon bits, fresh salsa, and a whole avocado. I washed it down with fresh squeezed orange juice. It was a great meal and not something I have every day! While it was very busy inside, the noise wasn't bad. I enjoyed the restaurant's decor with its exposed brick and urban vibe. If you're out on the weekend on Bank Street and are looking to brunch, Wilf and Ada's is worth checking out! read more

Been here a number of times now. The food is fantastic. Everything has always been well cooked with fresh ingredients, and the staff always top notch. Get there a little earlier then you prepare to eat, you may have to wait for a seat. Don't worry, it's worth it. read more

Great food for a great price, everything made up and done from scratch! make sure you call ahead or try to book a spot as this place is always busy because of how good it is! read more

Make sure to get to Wilf & Ada's early and put your name on the waitlist. They will text you when your table is ready, so you can explore the city (and coffee shop next door) to avoid waiting an hour in a doorway (it can get very busy). My favourite thing on the menu is the baked beans, boy are they good. The beans are not mushy or over cooked, instead have a nice bite, cartelized, with chunks of pork hidden throughout. I've also had the pancakes, eggs, and smoothie to much delight. Totally recommend when in the area! read more

I get not allowing takeout when you're busy as it messes with your kitchen staff, but to deny someone takeout when you are at 50% capacity is simply stupid business practice. I could have sat down at any of the empty tables, ordered my meal, then asked for the rest to go... like seriously? You walked away from $25 while staff was standing around for me nothing. Used to come here with friends often as I live in the condos across the street. Will not be returning and will spread the word. read more

Delicious!!!!!! Came for breakfast and was super glad I had discovered it on yelp. Quality and flavours were amazing and service was friendly. I had a cup of earl grey tea and you could tell that it was quality loose leaf tea. Very happy about that! It's a quaint little cafe with hip decor. They've maximised on seating so it's a little tight however acceptable when so many want to come eat here. Highly recommended it and I'll definitely be back again when in Ottawa. read more

This is a great brunch spot. I came on a weekday but it was pretty full. You can tell they use natural ingredients and fresh veggies. Coffee was excellent. I know I was supposed to get the Eggs in Purgatory but I was really really hungry so I tried the Hungryman breakfast. I'm glad I did because every ingredient on the plate was fresh and delicious. The eggs over easy was great as were the toast, potatoes, and bacon. It even came with a side of French toast with strawberries. I will definitely try their other items when I'm back! read more

Tiffany N and I strolled in to Wilf and Ada's on a rather rainy Tuesday morning around 10:30, and the place was buzzing. A small, but beautiful spot, (the word cozy works well here!), it's totally transformed from the place I remember about 4 years ago. We were greeted and served by a positively lovely employee (I so wish I had asked her name!) and our orders came quite quickly. The menu isn't too large, but has enough variety to satisfy different tastebuds. They have a daily frittata and today's was spinach with St. Albert cheese curds! How could Tiffany NOT get this when in town? I opted for the crazy indulgent French toast with fruit compote and whipped cream. Holy, decadence! About three massive pieces of French toast piled high with stewed apples, raspberries and strawberries - YUM! Topped off with a dollop of real whipped cream and a side serving of maple syrup, this was the ultimate French toast! The atmosphere is wonderful - busy and loud and warm and welcoming.The coffee was excellent, the service top notch and the food exceptional. I can't wait to return! read more

Wilf & Ada's - Diners Near Me - Ottawa, Ontario

Ada's diner had a special spot in my heart - Wilf and Ada were Mom and Dad to the neighborhood folk and strangers alike. They have since retired and when the place closed so did a chapter of Centretown life. Their spot has re-opened as "Wilf & Ada's a from scratch diner". The people behind this incarnation have good pedigree: Fraser Café, the WORKS - elements of both are visible. This is an imagined space - like a back shed / cabin: barn board walls, exposed brick, plank tables, open kitchen, homemade hot sauce, mason jar sugar pots, rough weave cloth napkins, classic rock/country music and a single chalkboard menu. All that remains of the actual past is the name, "Wilf & Ada" stenciled on a wall, and the first menu item - an Ada's Classic: 2 eggs, bacon, toast, home fries and homemade baked beans - the only "classic breakfast" available that day. I ordered the "eggs in purgatory"- I wondered why I was given a spoon. I got distracted during the wait by delicious looking homemade banana bread. I ordered some. Filled with gooey chocolate and walnuts It might not be to a banana bread purist's liking -it was very chocolatey- and drier than ideal (hence served with butter) for me. It was still remarkably good - and filling - a borderline stand-in for the toast only set. For my main I was presented with 2 soft-cooked eggs simmered in a spicy tomato sauce -- a poached egg stew of sorts which explained the spoon. This was served with a side of home fries that were exactly like the pan fried sliced potatoes mom made me growing up. Try some of the homemade hot sauce on them. The eggs' texture and flavor were overpowered by the spicy tomato sauce they were simmered in - that also overpowered the Parmesan on top. The tomato sauce was good and hearty / spicy though. The three pieces of bread helped with getting all the hearty sauce. I have an issue with the chalkboard only menu - yes a printed menu limits what you feel like making that day. However, by putting the menu on ONE chalkboard you are making half of the diners face away from the menu, and tough going for anyone with visual impairment - the substantial local over-40 set. So far the neighbourhood "kids" (I'm 44) are here as are the epicurious. By the time I left at 11:00 there was about a 1/2 hour wait. My advice is to show up for an early, hearty breakfast as brunch will cost you some wait time just like in the old days. They are not open for dinner - yet. Let's hope this place grows with and within the local community. ($20.91 with tax - before tip) read more

We were told that there would be a 1.5 hour wait, which only ended up being about 20 min! I had the Eggs Blackstone and my wife had the B.L.T.E. with a side of poutine. The eggs were nicely cooked and the hollandaise sauce was perfect, but the "homies" (potatoes) that came with the dish were tasteless and very underwhelming. The B.L.T.E. was good and my wife really enjoyed it, but it really wasn't anything to write home about. The bacon that was used in both of our dishes was though! I had higher expectations for the the poutine. I found it to be a bit bland. We had two cocktails: bourbon lemonade and the special of the day which was a watermelon cocktail. Both were very good and refreshing. read more

I saw the reviews on Yelp and decided to give this place a try. I went there with my a friend on a Wednesday afternoon and didn't have to wait in line. The waitress quickly came to seat us and take our order. The service was fast and friendly all throughout our time there. We went with the eggs benedict with bacon which came with the highly anticipated hollandaise sauce and the Hungryman's breakfast. The eggs benedict did not disappoint as everything tasted fresh and flavorful, especially the home made potatos or homies. The Hungryman's breakfast was also very satisfying with the highlight being the french toast with whipped cream and compote that came on the side. I also ordered a coconut chai which was pretty good. Will probably try something else from their variety of tea and coffee next time. The prices were fair as the whole thing ended up costing us in the 40$ range. I will definitely visit this place again very soon. read more

Wilf & Ada's - The Blackstone (Eggs benedict with bacon and homies) - Diners Near Me - Ottawa, Ontario

The bennies brunch really made my last day in Ottawa!! I came there around 10 a'clock. The restaurant was almost full of people. The beautiful waitress guided me to a table like a bar seat. The restaurant was a little noisy but actually full of energy~ I ordered their famous dish Bennies with homies and extra baked beans. Bennis and homies are actually the nicknames of Benedict eggs and homemade fries. Really like this lovely action~ Highly recommend the baked beans!!!!! It was soooooo delicious!! The bacon and beans were almost melting in my mouth~ It tasted sweet with smoked flavored. Must try the side dish~~ Also, the eggs were cooked in a good condition and yolk was still flowing~ Their home made fries were not greasy at all. Love it. The price was a little expensive but deserves. read more

I am very glad I came here during my last day of visit in Ottawa! The food is truly amazing! I ordered the Egg in Purgatory and It's so good!! 10/10! If you look upon other reviews, everyone praised the quality of their food! However, what impressed me the MOST is their service!!! The lady in a blue dress is the most amiable and lovely waitress I've ever met! Her broad smile really elevated my experience in this restaurant! I don't know her name, but she looks like the actress Vera Farmiga!! Definitely will pay another visit here the next time I come to Ottawa! read more

Wilf & Ada's - Egg in Purgatory! - Diners Near Me - Ottawa, Ontario

In the search for good breakfast before we left Ottawa to head back home, I happened upon the reviews for Wilf and Ada's - what people are saying about this place are mostly great things. And with recommendations of "eggs in purgatory" and "dirty coconut chai" carving out my hunger, we headed out for a yummy morning. Once we got to the diner around 11am, there was a waitlist since the place was packed. How it works is a waiter takes down your phone number and texts you when your table is ready. When it is, you have to text back to confirm and you then have 10 mins to claim your seat(s). Although we had to wait about 20 mins, I'd say it was worth it. Wilf and Ada's is a "scratch diner" - they do their best to make as much of their menu as they can from scratch and in-house while sourcing ingredients from local suppliers and products whenever it's possible. For me, this is another reason to support the business - sustainability is important and it's great to see it work through small businesses that connect with each other. We ordered: Eggs in purgatory ($13.50) - 2 eggs simmered in spicy tomato sauce (it packs quite a bit of heat), arugula, and parmesan. This was yummy - Im not used to eating a lot of arugula but it added a nice earthy and leafy taste to the dish giving it a fresh and healthy spin. The sauce is pretty spicy so take caution. It was served in a nice mini skillet/cast iron pan that kept the eggs in purgatory nice and hot throughout my time there. This was also served with a side of toast and homies (home fries) which were good - slightly crunchy and soft and a side of beans which were so good - I liked the heartier and more dense texture of beans and it went nicely with the rest of the dish. Their sweet flavour complemented the saltiness of the spicy eggs and homies. The Classic ($11.00) - 2 eggs, sausages, beans, toast, and homies. This dish usually comes with bacon but they had sausage today so that was an option we took. From what my dad said, he liked the dish - simple classic. The Hungryman ($15.00) - 2 eggs, sausages, beans, toast, homies, and side french toast with fruit compote, whip, and maple. This is just like the classic but with the side french toast. My mom enjoyed it - it was certainly a lot to eat but we helped each other out to finish the dish. French Toast ($12.00) - this is the same as the French toast side. House-made bread, buttermilk batter, fruit compote (a dessert made of fruits, in this case apples, in sugar syrup) and maple syrup. My brother liked the french toast - nice, soft, and fluffy and sweet. While he didn't like the compote, I did - it's delicious and I loved sampling bites of the French toast with it. The compote makes it juicy and fruity and adds a bit of crunch to the toast. Dirty coconut chai ($5.25) - espresso, chai, cinammon, coconut, & milk. I love chai tea and other chai drinks so I was excited to try this one out. For the most part, it was good but it does have a strong coconut taste - keep in mind that it has espresso so if you're expecting a sweet drink, it won't be as sweet as you might expect. Wilf and Ada's is fresh, local, fun, hipster diner. Simply put - a business doing it right. I love the fact that it's a scratch diner and I love the decor of the place - Wilf and Ada's has a long history of a few owners taking it over but I think whoever is running it now (Wilf?) means Wilf and Ada's is here to stay. read more

Verdict: The rare 5 star rating I have given this place says it all. Very rarely do I give a restaurant 5 stars, simply because very few deserve it, however I must admit that this was quite possibly the best breakfast that I have purchased in years. For starters, there was a 25 minute wait for table, however the greeter took our phone number and sent us a text message when our table was ready. A simple, but pretty cool feature, that allowed us to explore the area while we waited. Upon being seated, I noticed that the atmosphere was very cozy, and laid back, and we were seated right across from the kitchen, where the magic happens. The servers were hospitable and efficient, and the coffee was great. I ordered the Eggs in Purgatory, which is literally the best restaurant breakfast that I have purchased in years. It was a perfect combination of spicy, hearty, and just pure awesomeness. Also, when I say spicy, I mean that it is spicier than most breakfasts one would order. I ordered this dish without having read any of the reviews, and I must say that it was an incredible surprise. If your looking for a local place that is a little something different, all while turning the awesome up to eleven, this is the place for you. read more

This is a breakfast/lunch spot that doesn't take reservations. The wait for this place was around 20 minutes long. I came here for a birthday brunch and enjoyed my meal. I had the spicy eggs in purgatory dish that came in a mini skillet with tomato sauce and arugula and cheese on top. I had a choice of white or wheat bread on the side. It also came with country-style potatoes (they call it home potatoes here). My fiance had their summer special: a hot dog with your choice of topping (from 3 options). He got the kim chi and Kewpie mayo option. It tasted good. It also came with a side of salad, home fries, or regular fries. You also had the option of doing half and half. On the table they have their house made hot sauce that tastes similar to Tabasco. The interior of the shop is pretty small and there is no outdoor seating. My eggs were spicier than I expected but were nice. The staff were friendly and food came out in a timely manner. They pride themselves in using locally sourced food items. They have cocktails, soups and poutine as well. read more

This review will be short and sweet, as I forgot to review them in a timely manner and have lost some of the details from my brain. I loved my breakfast here. The décor is on the vintage side of things, but current - if that makes any sense. (Go see it for yourself.) Everything is just perfectly placed, very cute. When we've been there, there's been a line up. Get there early to avoid it (or, I suppose later. Whatever works for you.) No idea what I ate, but I do remember being happy with it. Edit 25Feb15 - The restaurant's brand manager followed up on my review - which makes me even happier with them. They listen! Out of over 400 reviews, I've only had 2 other businesses respond - and it's wonderful. The three who have taken the time to listen and respond (without any defensiveness) are all *awesome* businesses. Would I return: Yes Would I recommend: Yes read more

The wait can be quiet long but so far I have loved all the dishes I have ordered at Wilf and Ada's. My favorite is the eggs in purgatory and I have enjoyed their lattes and hot chocolates. Great meal on a cold fall or winter morning. I'll have to stop by sometime this summer! read more

Wilf & Ada's - Eggs in purgatory - Diners Near Me - Ottawa, Ontario

I was really keen to try the new menu and I popped in for lunch today. It was later in the day, so the place wasn't terribly busy and I got a nice little spot by the window. I ordered the eggs in purgatory, which is two poached eggs drenched in a spicy tomato sauce, and topped with arugula and cheese, served with home fries and toast ($12). While the eggs were delicious, my toast was not. It was sliced razor thin, and was nowhere near substantial enough to deal with all the sauce that my eggs were swimming in. So I had to recruit the home fries to do the job of dealing with all the sauce, and thankfully they rose to the challenge. The coffee was good, but nothing special and I do wish that they had come around to refill my cup since they use the small little white diner cups (though I'm still unsure if they do free refills or not). I really want to write a glowing review for this place, as it's a cute spot with a great feel to it, but on my first time out, I was left feeling a little underwhelmed with my solo adventure to wilf & ada's. Hopefully the next time I go I'll have better news to report. read more

Are you serious about brunch? Well then, have I got a recommendation for you while you're in Ottawa. You must make the trip to Wilf and Ada's. This cozy little restaurant was recommended to me on my last trip to Ottawa (back in July of 2017) and I am so happy I got to visit again on this trip. First thing first: this place is pretty tiny. You will have to wait anywhere from 40 minutes to an hour. If waiting for anything is not a thing that you're interested in doing, this is not the place for you. But if you feel like you can wait: do it. Because you'll be thanking us later. My tip: either grab a coffee at their coffee place (directly next door) or go the Starbucks across the street. This time around, we arrived at the restaurant at 9 AM (an hour after opening) and every table was full. We didn't get seated until 9:40 AM. Once inside, you'll get a direct sightline of the kitchen. The place is a local, scratch diner. On the chalkboard, they advertise all the producers and farmers that they work with, including Seed to Sausage. This is also why some of their prices are a bit higher than most places. You're getting top quality. Each of us got something completely different and were totally satisfied with our offerings. I got the Hungryman ($16) which came with 2 eggs, bacon, sausage, beans, toast, homies (aka home fries) and french toast. It's a lot of food and a lot of GOOD food. My pal ended up getting the poutine ($12.5) topped with pepper gravy, chicken, peas, and gravy. Plus, they added an egg to make it more brunch appropriate. All of the food was well done and the service super friendly. Our coffee cups were never empty and neither of us left feeling empty. In fact, you could have rolled us both out of there. A trip to Ottawa isn't complete without a trip to Wilf and Ada's and I'm so happy I got to share this with my trip mates this time around. read more

Great decor, great service, great coffee, and absolutely great food. Hands down the best brunch place I've been to in Ontario. Everything on their menu looks delicious, food is authentic and tastes homemade with a touch of finesse. I had their eggs in purgatory and it was just the right amount of spice, eggs poached perfectly and arugula was a nice touch. My friends got a sandwich and French toast and both were equally delicious. :) absolutely would recommend! read more

Great breakfast place! Also, if you're gluten free - they can make almost anything on the menu gluten free! It is usually packed but they partner with a coffee shop that's next door so you can chill and wait.

The reviews do not lie. First let me start off by saying that the staff at this restaurant are absolutely phenomenal. Kind. Funny. Good taste in glasses. I would secondly like to say that the food is phenomenal. I had French toast with gluten-free bread with whipped cream and strawberry compote. It was delicious. The sausage that's made in house is not to be missed. The flavors are forward and a nice complement to the pork. The eggs in purgatory was also phenomenal. It's a nice way to do A breakfast dish that doesn't feel heavy but it's different from the norm. I can't say enough positive things. Also the fresh squeezed grapefruit juice rocked my face off. read more

Went here for breakfast. It's a basic menu but they do everything well. Potatoes were delicious, bacon was thick cut, toast was full of seeds and nuts (yum!). We ordered the french toast as a side and it was delicious! The grapefruit was freshly squeezed with no extra sugar! The poached egg in avocado was a unique approach to the millennial breakfast choice, which is what I got. Most importantly, servers was friendly and attentive. If I come back to Ottawa I'll return! read more

We came here on a Sunday during Easter long weekend. The place was crowded. The waitress took down our names and numbers, and estimated a 40-minute wait. We thought that the wait was worthwhile. We ordered: 1. Eggs in purgatory - this is the first time we had this. It has eggs poached in spicy tomato sauce topped with a special cheese and a generous amount of arugula. The combination was perfect. It also comes with homemade fried potatoes and two slices of toasts. 2. Dirty coconut chai - the coconut flavor brings a refreshing taste to the latte. Sweetness is just right! 3. Black stone - this has two portions of buns with tomato, bacon, poached eggs and generous amount of hollandaise sauce. Also, not to forget the yummy fried potatoes that is crispy in the outside and soft in the inside. Will definitely recommend this place! Service: 5/5 Food: 5/5 read more

Food 4/5 decor 3/5 staff&service 4/5 Located in Ottawa's Gleeb neighboorhood, the restaurant is a hipster breakfast and lunch joint. The ingredients are fresh, the service is quick and the staff are all super friendly. From what the waitress told us, Wilf and Ada (husband and wife) were the previous owners of the restaurant, it was a greasyspoon type of place and when the new owners took over they decided to change the food while paying homage to the previous owners. 1. Veggie classic (11$) - basic 2 eggs with lettuce, tomatoe, toast, homefries 2. Grilled cheese of the day (15$) - roasted red peppers (homemade not the canned stuff), fresh red beats, feta cheese (a blend of cow's and sheep's cheese), tomatoes, and herb mayo. The homefries were delicious, the outside was crispy while the inside was soft. The grilled cheese was incredible!! read more

So.... I used to absolutely love this place. I literally would travel 45 min by bus to enjoy their ambiance and breakfast menu. Now... not so much. As great as farm to table is, I practice it in my own home so I know, this is just kind of pretentious. I went because I wanted to support the new owners and staff, but no. It was ridiculously expensive for what amounted to a overly complicated diner breakfast and it wasn't any better. In fact it was, I hate to say it, disappointing. I couldn't even get a decent cup of standard black tea. This used to be a perfect greasy spoon and now it's not. read more

On our way back home, we stopped by this diner in Ottawa and while it looks like a small spot in the corner of the street, it's offerings was suprinsgly delicious. Apparently the story of this diner dates back to quite some time, it used to be called Wilf's and now they added Ada's name to it for a new twist after a change of owners and to keep the heritage of what was started by the original owner. Very different than a typical diner for brunch options, they have a very creative selection of choices. All very hearty and the ingredients are fresh. I was told that they use local suppliers and products! I'll be here again. read more

They serve all day breakfasts and lunch. We had hungryman. The breakfast is good, not great, not amazing, but to say is satisfying would be fair. This is to be compared with the breakfasts I had at UK. The beans mixed with bacon bits is an interesting idea - nice flavour but beans can definitely more soft. The Canadian bacon is great. You should try it. The sausage has a strong smoke flavour - I enjoyed it but may not work for everyone else. Eggs and toast are needless to comment - who'd screw these two up? I feel they could use fries instead of 1/4 little potatoes. I personally prefer fries and that's how it's usually done in U.K. too. Overall. Deserves the Price. Worth the wait. Good experience. Will go again. read more

It was an absolute delight to dine here and I would most definitely return again and again in the future. Our server was wonderful and so was the food for a fair price! I got the bare bones which was just enough for me, and my boyfriend got the bigger breakfast with the sausages and beans. The beans are way better than any I've had before. They have a smoky pulled pork flavour to them, and the homemade strawberry jam is to DIE for. The sausages are none of that 99% fat and 1% unknown meat source stuff you usually get at your typical breakfast place (I'm not saying there's something wrong with them, they're my guilty pleasure), you can actually tell it's real meat at Wilf and Ada's.

Came here for brunch while visiting family in Ottawa and I must say I enjoyed it but I probably wouldn't consider coming again The food was alright. My husband and I ordered the florentine bennies. It was a bit too salty for my taste because of the olive topenade and the feta so I wouldnt order it again. Their homies (potatoes) were good though! Their coffee was good too. Their cups smelt eggy and we couldnt drink water. We asked for clean cups and they had the same smell unfortunately. Otherwise the place was clean. Their service is good. Friendly cheery staff! The decor is cute and quant. Overall okay experience but not somewhere id likely not come again. read more

Amazing start to the day!! Recommended by a cousin who was here pre new owners and renos and we are thrilled with the recommendation. Did we wait? Yep - only for about 15 minutes. And the staff was fantastic from the moment we were greeted. We both picked the Avocado baked with eggs and served with homemade salsa and bacon. Not to mention fresh squeezed grapefruit juice, homemade bread and homemade peanut butter! YUMM. The meal was a little outside of Davey's comfort zone but he loved it ... So did I.

So I finally went to this place after having it on my list. I am sad to say that it didn't meet my expectations. It's okay. It wasn't horrible but it wasn't anything special. The best part was that the ingredient are local and fresh. So my husband and I went together. He got the poutine and I got he eggs purgatory. The poutine was pretty bland. It definitely needed something more for flavor. Not to mention that it was a steep $16. The eggs purgatory were pretty decent although it tasted a lot like tomato sauce. The homies were plain. Nothing special. I think what they are really missing is flavor. All the food was very boring tasting. I love flavor and uniqueness and this was not that. I won't personally be going back unless someone invited me to go. If you want to try yourself, just know that there will probably be a wait as it is a popular place. Also, the seating is less than comfortable as it is a small location! read more

Came here for brunch on a Tuesday with my partner while we were in town. It was surprisingly busy for a weekday and there was a 20 minute wait, but we realized afterwards that it's worth the wait! We were seated quickly after a table opened up and servers were friendly. I ordered the Hungry Man with Bacon and Lettuces for sides. It also comes with a piece of french toast topped with fruit compote and whipped cream. The meal was made from scratch and tasted delicious throughout! It's a bit more expensive than some brunch places (~$25 after tax+tip), but the quality and quantity of food you get is gold. Overall, this place is a gem worth waiting for. I would definitely return in the future. read more
