the eggs bene was fabulous. I'm not always a big fan of bene but theirs was exceptional. good food and good service. Highly recommend this place if you are in Canmore. 👍👍👍

been there for 3x in a row for breakfast this month coz i love the food😋 just the third time the duck paté size became abit smaller but everything is amazing! we’ve tried omelettes the meat lover ,brie cheese and asparagus, smoked salmon with cream cheese, canadian beans,duck liver paté and crossant , had different server in those times and they were all polite! probably going to try lunch or dinner next time ..

This place is always busy, but normally don’t have to wait too long to get a table even on family day. Their eggs benny is amazing! It’s always hit and miss to get proper hollandaise sauce. These guys do it right.

Their staff were so accommodating with our difficult party and we were so appreciative! They were great with allergies, super friendly, and attentive. We had brunch and it was awesome.

Thanks for the great experience!

The eggs benedict and sweet crepe was the perfect brunch. Everything was great, and got sat right away. Went into another place before this and it was slammed busy. This felt like a unknown treasure.

Our Family's favorite restaurent and best breakfast in town!There eggs Benedict were obviously the best we ever had! Chef Francois definitely know how to make a real sauce Hollandaise from scratch :)

Just tried your chocolate mousse and it is perfect with my coffee!

I just love this place for breakfast. The eggs bennies are one of the best and my favourite. It's easy to see why the place can get very busy, but the staff is always friendly and fast. Every time I come for a visit to Canmore, they are a must on my list for breakfast.

Had my first experience here after hearing all the good things about it. It lived up to the hype and then some! Perfect Valentines day breakfast!

Googled the restaurant as we wanted to eat eggs benny.. wow! What a delight! Every dish we ordered looked great and tasted even better! Home made potato wedges and sauce on eggs Benedict! Great, pleasant and fast service! Owner did worn us that he gets busy at 11:00 am so we got there before that time. He told us he is open for 30 year!!! That tells you something! I would DEFINITELY recommend it and will go eat there again! The person that give them 1 star is unfair I don’t agree. Kids loved it and every dish they served at other tables looked delicious!

Every time we go, we always leave satisfied and grateful for great food, great service in a great atmosphere. Best egg bennie ever!

Absolutely amazing staff and food!! Definitely want to go hear again when in Canmore! 💖💖💖😁😍

Picked restaurant out of the blue. Traveling for first time in the area. Did not realize they were a Breakfast Place.

Friendly wait staff. Very tasty food presented well. Husband had Chef Salad with Soup du Jour. I had Chicken and Mushroom Crepes. We would both order meal again. Think we will go back for breakfast. That menu looked absolutely delightful.

I tried the Montreal Smoked meat Eggs Benny and it was the..(blepin'blep).lol.. Just go and try them they are all their good. Was worth the drive. Deffently would go back abd eat there.

We heard that the eggs benny were the best for morning dining. We have been traveling the little towns this summer and I having been eating my way around the eggs benny circuit...These were good and I would definitely have again. But there was one place better for me still at this point. This is a friendly little place and you would have no complaints eating here. Enjoy

Very disappointing first experience. My girlfriend and I waited 45 minutes for food, server didn't even care that we waited that long and didn't even apologize. Food was good though. Just wish that the server be a bit more polite.. Not sure if we will be back.

Well. Went on a sunday, very busy ..took only 15 mins to sit which was great. Our server.. older bulky lady... cannot smile or be a good host.. service was terrible... very long for her to come see us.. or ask us if we are doing good. We waited 10 mins for her to serve us coffee. No milk or cream, we waited for a good 5 mins with our coffees getting cold... we had to ask the table next for cream. When we ordered we waited for 55 mins for our food. Not once she came to see if we were okay.



Our food was cold, i ordered a poutine .. that was cold.. and i ordered a club house.. that showed up with NO CHICKEN. Can you believe that after i told her about it , she came back with the chicken expecting me to redo my sandwich. I cancelled my order , finished my cold poutine and we left. Terrible service... terrible.

I'm giving you two stars because of the terrible service my family and I received on Mother's Day. Food is generally great tasting though (hats off to the chef), but we will take our business elsewhere.

This morning we attempted to have breakfast at your restaurant before heading home from Canmore after a great weekend away. Our visit to your restaurant started with an 11 min wait at the door where at least 7 times we were completely ignored by your staff. Not even an acknowledgement that we were there. We gave your staff the benefit of the doubt as we'd heard the food was incredible. When we were finally seated we continued to wait another 7 minutes for anyone to come over and even let us know they'd be with us shortly, but nothing. A table was seated right beside us - this group walked in the door nearly 19 mind after we did and was seated immediately after we were. The server then came over and gave them all water (while we still had nothin), then took their drink order and returned with it (we still had nothing), she then managed to go refill the coffees of all of the customers in the other room and you guessed it, we still had nothing. She then returned and took the order of the table beside us who had arrived well after we had. It was at this point that we got up and walked out and the only acknowledgement we received the entire time was a snotty look from the hostess as we walked out the front door. Now I'm a pretty patient person, and I spent many years in the food industry as a hostess, waitress, cook and manager, and never once did I work in a restaurant with so many employees on the same shift, and it never would have been acceptable to have a table left unattended to for that long in any of the restaurants I worked in. Extremely disappointing and I most definitely will not be back, regardless of how good the food is supposed to be.

the eggs bene was fabulous. I'm not always a big fan of bene but theirs was exceptional. good food and good service. Highly recommend this place if you are in Canmore. 👍👍👍
