Easily the best eggs benedict in Ottawa...and beyond! Great coffee, great vibe and top notch customer service. I'd rate Wilf & Ada's with 10 stars,if that were an option.

Great place that had an amazing tofu scramble available... Hard to find a good vegan breakfast at an omni restaurant. All the staff were super friendly and genuine. Also hard to find! Only downfall is the long wait while others enjoy their food!
I’ve lived in Ottawa my whole life and just went to this place now, and I’m upset I haven’t been sooner because it is so damn good. Delicious food, excellent service, will def be back.
Had French Toast for breakfast there this morning. Food was delicious but I found the portions on the smaller side. Even with the expensive $20 “Hungryman” breakfast, they still only give 2 eggs with it... 😑
I came here on a Saturday for brunch and the place was packed, which was expected. All you have to do is put your number down and go for a coffee around the corner. Our wait time was about 30 minutes. Service was friendly and the staff gave great recommendations! The food is delicious, maybe not quite as filling as other brunch places but I think it's still good value. Love the atmosphere and the warm and welcoming decor. No wonder why this place is always packed!
On my first visit one week ago, I was blown away.
Excellent service and excellent food! I had the dagwood, my brother had eggs benny (one of the takes) and the the food was absolutely delicious. Every component added to the flavour to deliver perfect execution.
Nothing exceptional but nothing bad either. I ordered the side poutine which was more of a meal for two so that was well priced at 8.50$. The food came in a reasonable amount of time too.
Like the ambiance and decor.
Very delicious food! Definitely recommend. The staff were friendly and the ambiance is busy but nice. Fairly priced food for the quality you get.
Possibly the best breakfast in Ottawa. The first time I went to check this out with a friend and there was a 45 minute wait, so we didn't wait. I was skeptical that it would be worth it. But I can admit when I am wrong. I had poached eggs in a spicy tomato sauce and my husband had the hungry man. I also had a strawberry banana smoothie, everything was delectable, from the homefries to the French toast. Even the beans had hints of smoked bacon that tasted like home cured bacon. The service was friendly and attentive without being fake and overbearing. They also offer some interesting sounding alcoholic options which I can't wait to try on my next trip! You can taste the local ingredients and the focus on quality. No wonder everyone is lining up!
Went here for breakfast with some friends. We had to wait 20 minutes but the staff told us we could head over to Arlington 5 and bring our coffees in when a table was ready. The interior was definitely cozy, and there were interesting paintings lining the walls. I got the eggs in purgatory, which is similar to shakshuka eggs, as well as a side of French toast. The food was very delicious and filling. The tomato sauce with the eggs was spicy enough to add heat but not overwhelming. Would go back.
One word for this place :- Awesome ....
I had to wait to get a table but let me tell you one thing that its well worth the wait.
Best 30 bucks spent whole week.
Well presented , tasty , yummy breakfast.
I tried 4 5 items everything is awesome.
Stopped in here ok a whim on a Saturday morning walk, and didn't know if we would get a table. Lucky for us we walk right in without a wait! The coffee was hot and continually refilled, and the service excellent. Between the 3 of us we ordered: the classic breakfast with sausage, eggs in purgatory, and blackstone Benedict. All arrived relatively promptly for how busy the restaurant was - in my opinion a sign of a great restaurant!
Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meals. The eggs in purgatory were spicy hot, but not too much - just delicious! This breakfast felt like an Italian breakfast. The classic breakfast came with baked beans which had a delicious smoke to them and great sausages. The Benedict was tasty, although the other two dishes were preferred. Overall an excellent meal and well deserving of all the hype that surrounds this sweet little joint! Excellent! We will certainly return, soon!
I loved this place. It opens 24 hours per day, 7 days a week.
We had lunch last time and I came back with my friend to have a breakfast.
Waiter was so lovely and helpful. The breakfast he helped us choose was amazing 🤩
I am definitely coming back again and I highly recommend it 😍
Arrive hungry. This place is not messing around. This was delicious. I want to try so many things here. I will be back.
Great value for great food. My stomach was not prepared for all this food.
The stand out here is the service. We had a server (John)and he made us feel so taken care of and that we were his new best friends. Honestly this server could give a masterclass on service. The whole team at the ESD never leaves you wanting anything. Refills on water and coffee show up right on time without asking. Just an incredible experience. Worth the trip and worth every cent.
Elgin Street Diner. What can I add about this beautiful gem! It's located Downtown on Elgin Street with bright lights on the outside and cozy set up on the inside. This diner is always buzzing with family, college kids, and seniors. They have ample seating, free wifi and it's open 24/7. No matter what time you go there the food is always fresh and staff is always friendly.
I've had their burger, triple layer sandwich, 3 cheese omelette, and hot chocolate. Their side of fries is a whole meal in itself! Side of beans and baked potato is just so so good..
They also have a counter of homemade cakes which is really moist and heavenly.
Totally recommend this place.

Family feel and customer service is top notch!! The friendliness from being sat down, during the meal and paying the bill. I highly recommend this diner. I finished my pancakes, it was so fluffy and delicious. Pay them a visit whenever your in the area, it’s just a 5 mins walk from the Canadian Museum of Nature and many consulate offices.
Food was amazing, prices were great. Staff were all cheerful, helpful and happy. Owner was there running the show flawlessly. Can't wait to come back.
If you’re hungry, this place has awesome proportions. This is the best poutine breakfast you will ever try. A real Canadian diner😎🇨🇦🍁🤤🤤🤤
Amazing service and delicious food! They were packed but the servers were courteous asking us to wait.
Got the Chilli Beef Poutine with extra Cheese Curds and the Smoked Meat Poutine. Also got the Pineapple and Peach Milk Shakes.
Super happy and this spot opens 24/7
Definitely recommended.
Solid! We arrived late into Ottawa and this was one of the places that were open. It did not disappoint. Had a steady flow of customers around 1am.
The service was friendly and attentive. The food was great! The gravy matched perfectly with the fries. Portions were generous. I say this is a must if in Ottawa!
