Poached is always a solid choice. I usually go for the shrimp and crab cake dish, but I’ve never been disappointed by a meal here. They have great bevvies too. The space is small though and very popular, so be ready for a wait on most days of the week.
Having been a short order cook in a breakfast restaurant, I can be admittedly picky when dining at such an establishment. Poached consistently hits the ball out of the park. I’m an early riser, so I always get a table; the service has always been good...but the food! Thank you for draining your perfectly cooked poached eggs! It’s a pet peeve when a poached egg is swimming in a sea of cooking water. And even worse if it’s part of an eggs Benedict and the water has then soaked into the English muffin. But I digress - the food is great. If you like breakfast out, go here. Be prepared to wait if you can’t get there early.
The one and only real issue right off the hop with this place is that they take phone numbers for call backs instead of serving the people waiting in line at the restaurant which seems a bit backwards. Either take call in reservations or serve the people in line. Food and coffee were amazing... service was great but that wait!!! I understand the thought process of calling people back but it totally sucks for the people waiting....Gotta figure that out
All I can say is show up early before opening. That way you have a table. Food was amazing and so delicious and fresh. I'm definitely going to be back
Fine Dining for Breakfast! What an awesome place! I've always wanted to go here since I've been reading raving reviews of this place. What a gem 💎 Greeted and served by the friendliest, beautiful ladies🌹 and served a scrumptious awesome tasting mushroom and asparagus omelet and a poached eggs on shrimp and crab cakes, with a soft and toasty bagel with herbed cream cheese and a tasty and satisfying Americano. What a great way to start the day! The atmosphere is relaxed and cozy. Was not crowded like most days I guess because it was a Tuesday at 8:30ish in the a.m. I highly recommend this place to anyone and their prices are very reasonable 😊👍👍👍
The food is always amazing and never disappoints. There can be a bit of a wait if you come too late but it's definitely worth waiting for. My favorite breakfast spot in the city!
I have been to Poached a few times and have always loved the food! It is a great brunch place and their drinks are good too. Try to get there early to make sure you get a spot.
This was a great find! Nice little place, very busy, great atmosphere and friendly service.
We waited nearly an hour for a table for 3 (it may be faster if it's a party of 2 as most tables are small), but it was worth it. A bit pricey for me, but it was a nice treat nonetheless.
I ordered classic 1/2 egg Benedict (peameal bacon, gruyere cheese, herb hollandaise sauce on English muffin), with tomato salad (cherry tomatoes with yogurt, pesto and parmesan cheese shavings), and a side of potato croquettes (mashed with herbs, topped with goat cheese). Everything was so delicious, I even forgot about the long wait!
A must try in Saskatoon, for sure.

What a gem! We are so lucky a place like this exists in Saskatoon. Service was fantastic. Hands down thee best brunch I have had anywhere. Their green tea latte is outta this world!!! I ran in today just to get one to go:)
This place is an absolute gem. I usually order some eggs benedict variant and always wind up with a side of bacon roll-ups. Atmosphere is great, wait staff are excellent and the food is consistently good.
Poached is my favourite breakfast place in Saskatoon!! It has the best eggs Benedict in town next to Park cafe! I'd give them 5 if they had some good hash browns(hint):)
This is a great breakfast spot as there aren't a lot of options in the city. A tad on the pricey side for what you get. Also, they don't take reservations which can be a bit annoying. Overall a good experience.
By far, my favourite breakfast place. Not only is the venue very unique with different art shown every time I've gone, but the food is also very unique and you can tell there is a lot of effort behind the menu. I recommend this place every chance I get and have tried almost everything on the menu so far. Definitely need to come at night to try Flint as well!
Wow… What an awesome bistro Poached is! We've been here a few times, and they just keep getting better and better, always changing the menu, great service and it absolutely charming little bistro in the middle of downtown Saskatoon. It also changes into a really fun bar at night, with great drinks, service, and ambiance! It's called Flint ... We highly recommend both of them, check it out it's of the hottest spots in Saskatoon. Will be back Darcy & Don Aberdeen ❤️🍷👍

Never a disappointment when we come dine in for breakfast , we enjoy the maple bacon roll ups x 2 and poached egg over crab cakes with bagel and dill cream cheese ! The best customer service every time . We even added the cinnamon French toast to share , everything tasted perfect ❤️ Highly recommended , thank you
Great brunch place. I and my girlfriend had to wait for almost half an hour, but, was worth the wait. Try their eggs Benedict and maple Bacon roll. This place is a little pricey, but I just love the food.
Amazing food, good ambience. I don't know what anyone is saying about service its good for being such a busy popular spot. Go early if you don't want to wait!
I think the ambiance is trying for relaxed and it is to a certain extend but they're just so busy it doesn't feel like the sort of place you can linger at which is too bad. I think this is what contributes to the service being unpredictable in terms of making you feel rushed and as if you're imposing on the server's time, or not. I enjoy the food here. The eggs are always well done never runny or over cooked. The maple bacon has a great maple flavour. I don't go here too often because it does have smaller portions which I don't find completely filling.
Very strange ambience. Felt like a entered the wrong restaurant. Had eggs Benedict. It was very good would recommend to anyone. Way overpriced though. Decent service.
Great little breakfast joint. Food is fresh, plating is clean and tasteful. Dishes were delicious. Very impressed overall. Waitress forgot to bring me a knife - but these are small things. Highly recommend.
Favourite brunch spot!! Food is absolutely delicious and usually great, friendly service. I'm a regular here, and there was only one time when our waiter was rude (I haven't seen her there since). Highly recommend
1) eggs benedict
2) maple bacon roll ups
3) chai latte
Also best place to take someone on a date! ;)
One of the best places to have brunch with a couple people. Quaint and intimate but also bright and refreshing. Food is always good and service is decent. Try the breakfast plate, you get to try a number of items including the breakfast roll ups (delicious). Expect to wait a while to get in though. It's always very busy.
I have never had a bad experience here! All the menu items are tasty and fresh. The bacon roll ups are a must to order. The staff are also very friendly and accommodating. The coffees and teas are rich, yet not too sweet. The jazz in the background and art on the walls makes Poached have a delightful atmosphere. My favorite breakfast place in saskatoon!
I've been to poached twice now. I had the eggs benny without an English muffin and with asparagus instead. I also had the london fog here and it is delicious! The herbed hollandaise sauce is amazing. Great service both times I've been. We will definitely come back again.
I've been here twice and have been happy both times. I've tried the Eggs Benedict as well as the crepes, and both were amazing! My friend and I also shared the Pecan and Maple Syrup Bacon Rollups; so different but so delicious! Best London Fogs in the city!
Favorite breakfast place in the city. Bene is fantastic and the maple pecan bacon rolls are to die for. Service can be slower (albiet very friendly) at times but let's face it, that's not why you're going here.
This place is a gem. The Poached over Crab Cakes is one of those dishes that you treat yourself too. I also enjoy the Peperonata & Chorizo Omelet. Just tasty!
They changed the menu. My first experience was fantastic so when I went back 4 months later, I was excited. They Changed the Menu! My yummy rhubarb crepes with the yogurt whip cream were gone. I settled for the ricotta crepes... such a disappointment. I don't eat eggs but I still like to go for breakfast. The menu is limited so I will definitely think twice before going back.

I'm not fancy but this place is. Parking is a pain. The restaurant is very small. So, when I was asked for my cell # and had to go and wait in my car to be called I wasn't surprised. However, not a lot of fun on a cold winter morning.
It was so worth the wait! I'm pretty fussy when it comes to breakfast but the Crepes with the yummy Yogurt Whip Cream...so amazing I wanted to rush back the following weekend. The prices are a little on the high end and I can be a little price sensitive but I am looking forward to going back.
Great breakfast spot!. The atmosphere and friendly service are welcoming. Coffe is great. The dishes, ranging from sweet to savoury have always been good (I've been a number of times). A very nice place to begin your day.
The Best. Went for breakfast. FANTASTIC!!!! Had the Eggs Benedict it was perfect. Excellent service. Will go back soon.
Eggs Bennie?!? Yes Please!!. The girls and I always go to poached for eggs Benedict. They always have a couple of choices on the menu, the other day it was eggs with Canadian bacon on toasted English muffins with the lovely hollandaise sauce. They always serve it with a lovely fresh salad with citrus vinaigrette dressing and goat cheese crumbled on top. Delish!!!! Going again tomorrow, that'll be twice this week!! The service is always friendly and food is always very yummy. It's a great breakfast spot!!

Best breakfast I've had. This place is a hidden gem. My mom and I found it by looking through the top trending restaurants on this site. We had to wait 20 minutes to get in and then another 10 minutes for our drinks. The service was ok, I felt they didn't have enough staff and everyone was rushing to get people out and new people in. My mom and I both ordered the Eggs Benedict. It came with a side house salad with orange vinaigrette dressing. It was easily the best breakfast I've ever had. If I lived in saskatoon I would be a regular at this place. Everything had such great flavor and the waitress we had did a great job at keeping the water full (: yum!

I came here with some friends for breakfast again. We had a "45 minute wait" which was actually only 20 minutes. I had the Eggs Benedict again and was extremely disappointed to see that it no longer comes with that amazing house salad I had the first time. It now comes with a grape tomato salad (four or five grape tomatoes) with pesto dressing. The portion size was also smaller than I remember, but still just as tasty. I originally gave this restaurant a 5, but down graded it to a 4.5 after this last visit because of the service. Our waitress that brought us our drinks, was different than the one who brought us our food, was different than the who checked in on us and was also different than the one taking our payments. The waitress also kept all of my change which would have been close to a $9.00 tip (my meal was $21.00 and I gave her $30.00) from me alone, I had to ask for my change back so I could give her the proper amount.
My new breakfast place. I came here with a friend on his recommendation. I'm glad I went as the breakfast was fantastic, and the service was great. My only recommend is to be there early as it fills up fast. Hopefully they will expand someday yo accommodate more people.
Such an amazing breakfast!. I love this place! The breakfasts are so innovative, classic and divine! I personally love the touch of fresh vegetables added to each meal.
So good!. We just went there for breakfast this morning and it was amazing!
I got the savoury french toast, my companion the lemon crepe. We also got the potato croquettes. When I tried the lemon crepe I actually gasped at how good it was. My french toast was delicious too. It was a bagel, with what I think was dill/herbs, then asparagus, mushrooms, and a cheese sauce. It was all unexpected but absolutely delicious. The crepe had rhubarb and berries coupled with whipped cream that my partner said was the best he has ever had. The potato croquettes were small little balls of mashed potatoes with a crusty coating. They were very good. The whole meal had us both smiling, so happy to find this place in Saskatoon.
Highly recommend the Creamy Veggie Benny....delish!
Excellent place for an elegant breakfast. Not happy with the cost of coffee refills though. While terrific coffee it really adds to the bill and who has a single cup with breakfast? A cheaper option should be offered.
You really have to look for the sign. Its very small and I nearly gave up on the place which would have been a shame. If I don't go back it will be because I like lots of coffee with breakfast.
What a great breakfast spot. I felt relaxed in the fun and intimate atmosphere. And the good was incredible, portions were a good size, not to big but not to small. The coffee was very good, and the serves was great. All and all I really enjoyed the experience.
Got there just after opening time Sunday morning, 8 am. Got a table no problems. Service attentive but not overbearing. Great jazz playing on stereo. Real flowers on tables were welcome. Chocolate cream filled croissants with rum soaked strawberries delicious but too sweet and too much cream. Felt a bit sick afterward! Eggs Benedict a hit with my husband - signature dish. Good espresso coffee.
Tasty food! Small venue though, which can make for long wait times, even for a table of two. Pretty decent service both times I've gone. Average size menu, and a decent variety of meals. Decently priced. Would eat there again.
Best brunch in Saskatoon. The good: the food here is amazing and I've always had good service. The staff have always been very friendly and accommodating. The bad: it's so good that it's tough to get a table after 10am on weekends—unless you want to wait an hour or more.
I won't hesitate to bring family and friends here, though I'll always make sure to arrive early. I hope everyone has an experience as good as mine have been!
Best Breakfast Place in YXE. Although it's a not the biggest place, they make up for it with the food. Amazing breakfast and drink menu. The spicy hot chocolate is awesome and the maple pecan roll ups are addicting. If you're an Eggs Benedict fan, this restaurant has the best in the city.
The one and only Sufjan Stevens said that pop music is overly structured. But, more importantly, he said that he would try to challenge that in his work.
To me, Poached is the Sufjan Stevens of breakfast institutions. There's only so much you can do with breakfast cuz the ingredients are pretty basic, or, structured, but poached understands this and challenges it nevertheless.
Prosecco and fresh orange juice, bitch. Try to find that at doc hollandaise!!!!
WOW!!!. Best locally owned breakfast joint in town!!!
Best Breakfast in Saskatoon! Hands down!. This restaurant serves the best breakfast in Saskatoon. And it's nice to have something more than just eggs, bacon, and toast when going out for breakfast. We had the eggs benedict with cherry tomatoes and asparagus. The poached egg was cooked perfectly and the vegetables were roasted to perfection! The croissant French toast with chocolate and hazelnut was delish! We also added the bacon roll-ups with pecans... awesome! My only complaint is that the green tea latte was not matcha green tea enough... as I'm Asian, I know what green tea flavoured food and drinks should taste like. All in all, best breakfast in Saskatoon... HANDS DOWN!
This place has a great brunch menu, but get there early
Best breakfast in town. If i had to eat one meal for the rest of my life, it would be eggs benedict, and poached has the best one in the city that i've had so far. their other breakfast items are also excellent and always cooked well.
Very Good!. I agree with others... I love their Eggs Benedict! Pair your food with a great cappuccino and you're set! I've tried the crab cakes and they're quite good.
The servers are very smiley and attentive.
The only down-side is the size of the place. Many times we've had to go somewhere else for lunch because it was full. :(
So good!. I would eat their eggs benny everyday. For breakfast, lunch, and supper. With potato croquettes. Everyday.
AMAZING!. I don't typically write reviews, but my brunch today at Poached was the best I've ever had. Anywhere. Ever. I had the breakfast plate with two poached eggs (cooked just how I requested), toasted bagel (perfectly toasted - seriously), potato croquettes (I've never had these before and I am in love), pecan maple bacon rollups (these are also amazing. Not too sweet, which I thought they might be) and it also came with a spinach and goat cheese salad. All for only $13!! Our service was also very good and we were lucky and didn't have to wait for a table. People that came after us had to wait around 30 minutes for a table, but it was Sunday and it's well worth the wait.
Good service and good food. I had the pesto chicken pita with avocado. It was great! Extremely tasty. And not a bad deal either-- 13 dollars. I've many a time eaten worse for more.
Best breakfast in Saskatoon. Best place for some fresh squeezed orange juice and a look out on sunny Saskatoon. Poached takes a classic breakfast meal and spices it up! It reminds me of some places I visited in New York. Clearly the owner is a cultured and vibrant individual.

Small Package - Good Things. A small little venue with quality ambiance, food and service. From the street you could walk by it without noticing the sign. Here you can sense the passion for what they are doing in how they do it. Even the salad with the eggs is a pleasant accompaniment . Lots of great options well done.
This place is AMAZING. probably one of the best breakfast places I have tried. the only negative thing I can say about poached is the wait time for a table. We waited 40 mins but the delicious food more than made up for it. We will definitely be back soon
Hands down the best place for a breakfast date in Saskatoon. Food is fresh, and clearly is made with quality ingredients. Dishes are presented beautifully. The atmosphere and decor are cozy and trendy.
Definitely recommend the potato croquettes and the maple bacon wraps. You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu. I will so far as to say its the best breakfast I have ever had. Do yourself a favour and try this gem. (This review is NOT intended for those who think a Denny's pan-scrambler is breakfast heaven.)
Mmm bacon rollups. This might just be my favourite brunch place in Saskatoon (and it doubles as my favourite place to get a martini later on in the eve!). Cool atmosphere, nice music, and most importantly, delicious breakfast. I`m a big fan of their stuffed french toast, eggs benedict (the hollandaise is awesome), bacon rollups, potato croquettes...I seriously could go on and on. The price of a coffee is a little ridiculous, but I`ll let it slide because the food is just so darn tasty.
The food here is unique and very delicious; everything from the peppermint hot chocolate, to the butternut crunch omelette. I recommend trying this place at least once
Best Brunch in Sask!. This is by far the best place I have ever eaten brunch in Saskatoon. Even the presentation of the food is above par. 10/10 for everything I've tried. The Crab Cakes are great and so is the sauce. Potato croquettes are cooked perfectly, and the prices you can't beat. $12 for a complete brunch at that calibre is outstanding. The poached over asparagus is my favorite dish. Their hollandaise sauce is herbed so get an extra bit of flavor without the food being laden in salt. I also really like how most of the breakfast dishes come with a mixed greens salad as well as a bread. You can even build your own brunch with the al la carte options and still come out under $20!
Well done poached, well done!
Now if Flint would only upgrade their house gin......
Delicious! I ordered the classic eggs Benny with a side of creamy hash brown cakes. It took an exceptionally long time (almost an hour, that I had to replenish parking) to get our food though for something that more than half the room was probably ordering the same thing that they’d be just cooking and flying out the door (ie. eggs Benedict). Always super busy so try to go before 1030 to get a table without waiting.
Best brunch in Stoon, great coffee, super clean and tidy, service can't be beat. All the girls are friendly as can be. Busy place and staff is doing a good job keeping up during this current labour shortage.
Poached is probably the cutest, coziest restaurant in Saskatoon. This super narrow restaurant does fabulous breakfast food.
We spent a good (almost) three hours at the restaurant, eating and drinking and catching up. It was such a warm environment, we didn’t want to leave!
The fresh pressed orange juice (read Mimosa) is so good. We also did lattes and then finally breakfast. The crab cakes were good. And my friend liked her eggless omelette. But my FAVOURITE item in the menu has to be the potato croquettes.
This place is great for an intimate meal. Or maybe you could score the booth and have a few more people!
FYI: The restaurant isn’t wheelchair friendly, as the bathroom is downstairs.
Great place for breakfast. It was quite busy the day we went, they took our number and called back once it was available. Very friendly service and great breakfast place. I suppose you can go for brunch as well. We ordered butternut crunch, Bailey’s banana bread french toast and peanut butter hot chocolate; delicious and definitely worth trying.
Absolutely lovely breakfast spot. Fantastic food and coffee with great service.
This might be one of my new favorite breakfast spots in town! They make a scrumptious Eggs Benedict and their Matcha Latte, well.....bring me another please☆☆☆☆☆☆
