This place is amazing. The hungry hippo breakfast was great. Lots of really well cooked, tasty and well presented food at a very reasonable price. The eggs benny was also great tasting and perfectly cooked.
Highly recommend this place to everybody. It does not look much, but you will not be disappointed. It is family run and has a very extensive menu.
I have been a huge fan of Elle's for almost a year since discovering them during Burger Week 2017, when I first tried their incredible JBC burger. Everybody there is friendly, welcoming and incredibly hardworking. The food is fantastic and the menu is extensive for a smaller operation. I probably enjoy the bistro at least once a week on average, and have introduced many of my friends and all my family in the province to the fine fare here. Kudos to the ever-friendly Nik for happily looking after so many customers at the same time. Never had any problem with the service, and the food has always been outstanding! Many thanks.
Went in here as a walk in off the street with no prior knowledge of the place. Had breakfast here, and was a nice feed. Staff were helpful, food was nice and suitably priced.
Great little breakfast bistro. Friendly atmosphere, a little small looking when you first walk in but more tables located in the back. We had a Greek omelette and SGOmellte (might as well say Greek as it contained spinach, goat cheese). Both omelettes were only two eggs each.
I recently visited this place with a couple of friends and was ready for its hole in a wall ambience (knew from reviews).
The staff was friendly but our order took some time to come. I had ordered jalapeno bacon cheddar grilled cheese sandwich with a side of poutine. The sandwich was delicious with a generous portion of bacon and cheddar and had the kick from jalapeno peppers. I like spicy so this was a perfect dish for me. The poutine had home made fries with good quantity of gravy and cheese curds. The food was very fresh and tasted very good. Prices were reasonable for the quantity and quality of food offered.
Overall if you do not mind a hole in the wall ambience, this place is very good in terms of quality and value for money.
Sooooo good....had stuffed blueberry French toast was simply amazing.wanna go back for a burger this week.lots of local products and beer.place is run by a couple I think,service was good and meal was cooked perfect.no complains.....o and it was more then reasonable priced 32 bones for two breakfast.
This is a great little spot in the heart of downtown Halifax to grab a quick bite or a relaxing cup of coffee. The staff are super friendly, and they seem like they really love their job. In terms of the burger, I was very pleased. It isn’t a complex burger, but it still holds it’s own against other burgers in the city that have loads of components. This simplicity is really refreshing, and it shows that a great burger doesn’t have to be larger than life. I will definitely be going back to try another burger here!
Holy Moley!! Mama Mia! wow! .... Holy Moley!! Mama Mia! wow!
I've been visiting Halifax and eating at all manner of great places. This was a casual walk by and we went in on a whim. I decided to start simple and order the "Old school cheeseburger". Oh my goodness. Yes, there is such a thing as the worlds best and this is it. Friendly like crazy too.
We had a delicious French toast with caramelized banana and it was incredible. We also asked for a strawberry milkshake with Oreo in it because we couldn’t decide which flavour to get and it was really good. Will surely be back to try more shakes.
Absolutely great staff. I wish I had of got his name but our waiter was fantastic. Super friendly, and made every table feel special. Rare to get that great of service. It Was very busy and he seemed to be the only one working the front. Although it was a tad slow due to how busy it was, the service and food was defiantly worth the wait. Will definitely be back.
It was our first time here, and we did have a good time! The servers were super nice and patient, especially we were there with a baby. They set up the baby chair for us and made sure we were comfortable.
The food we got were egg Benedicts, steak and eggs, French toasts and some sides. The steak and eggs I got was super tasty, and they had the onions and mushrooms on the top of the steak, which was definitely a plus. I also love their home fries and eggs, just felt the steak was a bit too small.
My friends all enjoyed their meals, but it would be nice if there’s some seasoning for the home fries. Other than that, good atmosphere, good service, decent prices, and so many options! We do love this restaurant!
One of the more popular brunch spots in Halifax. They have your standard brunch fare with some additional options if you’re feeling adventurous. They also have several good gluten-free options and their servers are knowledgeable about cross-contamination. The only issue seems to be that if you’re going for a weekend brunch you’re probably going have to wait 10-20 minutes for a table, as they are usually operating at capacity.
I went with a large group of eight adults and two kids. We made a reservation of only 7, but they allowed us to add the extra people and arranged an extra table despite being so busy. The service was amazing. The food was good, especially the Smoked Salmon and Lobster Egg Benedict. The Halifax Egg Benedict was just okay, because I didn't like chowder instead of hollandaise sauce. I thought the chowder did not have enough flavor. I did not enjoy the waffles. The menu has many options and price is midrange.
Very extensive menu. Had breakfast several days in a row and it was excellent each time. 3 different servers who were all excellent. Home Fries cooked crispy which I like. Omelettes are light and not overcooked. Good portion size and value for money.
Would love to try the dinner and lunch menu next time I am in Halifax.
If you see a line to get seated, don’t stress it moves pretty fast.
The eggs benny section of the menu is worth a look! We loved our meals.
Every time I visit Halifax I have to make a stop or two at Elles. The atmosphere is great and the food even better. Love these little local spots for dining!
My partner and I went to Halifax over the weekend for a wedding and decided to last minute brunch before the ceremony. We found the place in google maps and it was 5 minutes from us. We were able to get in without a reservation and no waiting; the food was delicious! The fruit cup I had was especially good. The server we had was very lovely as well.
Great local breakfast place. Large breakfast selection, lunch too, with great food quality. Super nice staff with reasonable prices.
