A great place with a great view. Wish they were halal or didn’t cross contaminated meat with eggs so more Muslims could eat here. I had waffles with Banana and chocolate which was good, had best waffles at D Spot in Kanata. Coffee has refills which was nice. Ambience was awesome. I would recommend visiting this place once for sure.

Beautiful cozy renovated restaurant. The view pretty nice. Not alot of restaurant around with a location like that. Service was acceptable. We were there for breakfast. The food was great.

The view is nice, but that’s about it. Coffee isn’t good. Breakfast was tasteless, it has no flavor (but the bacon was ok). Service was slow and not courteous at all, I would even say rough. Beer menu is inexistent. Sadly I do not recommend.

This is a fantastic spot for breakfast! The coffee is excellent, and I tried the omelette, salmon bagel, and eggs—everything was delicious. The atmosphere is elegant, and the view is stunning, with Lac Leamy just steps away, perfect for a relaxing walk afterward. Overall, great food, a beautiful setting, and a classy vibe make this place a must-visit. It usually opens till 2pm and then from 4 till 8

Good vibes. Good music. Great cocktails. The food was delicious and portioned right. The service was spectacular and didn’t feel rushed. The space is very welcoming and I can only imagine the view on the river during the day.
