"What a unique atmosphere and menu. We enjoyed our entire time in this establishment. The staff was knowledgeable regarding the gluten content in the menu items which is important to us. The pricing was fair for the quality and creativity put into the food items. We will visit again."

"Even though I’m from here originally, I still hit up Reddit for the recommendations to check out for those non local. It was my partners first time here so I didn’t wanna disappoint. I’d been here before once or twice in the past but it had been awhile and I recalled it being too busy.
By some stroke of luck (and adding ourselves on the waitlist via google) we got a seat five mins after parking in their lot.
Our server was very lovely and attentive.
The menu here is quite vast and it’s easy to get overwhelmed with options.
Despite being tempted, I went for the classic- a two egg, meat and potatoes and sourdough breakfast. I also opted to add a side crepe. My partner got the breakfast poutine.
The grilled potatoes are my recommendation. They were seasoned and cooked to perfection. Had an amazing flavour.
The sour dough isn’t quite like homemade sourdough but it was still good and the size was hearty.
I loved the crepe. Perfectly cooked and the local maple syrup made my French heart happy.
The portions are huge so I didn’t finish it all but I definitely enjoyed it.
My partners breakfast poutine was great too. He added a side bacon, cut it up and threw it atop for a meat option. I really liked that they put shredded cheese in along with the curds!
Their drink of the day- an iced peach green tea- was refreshing and just right.
Near the end the restaurant was packed with a huge waiting line, and it did cause service to become a bit delayed but a little gentleness and patience goes a long way, especially considering how tasty the food is.
Would recommend and would return.
Note: please don’t park like a rectum, perpendicular to vehicles parked properly in the lines. It makes it real difficult for us with larger vehicles to pull out of."
