L’Oeufrier

We were a group of over ten people that showed up without a reservation on the weekend and they were able to quickly accommodate us. The owners were on site and were very sweet and helpful. Even though the size of our group was large we didn’t wait too long for our meal. The portions at this place are huge and delicious. A few of us has smoothies and they were yummy. Everyone was raving about their meal and we sat there till they almost closed. compared to the other breakfast spots in ndg,(chez Cora,
The spot opposite it) this was a 5 stars for me.

I always love the food here, but they almost never cook my eggs properly. I’d estimate that I send my eggs back about 75% of the time, which leaves me eating alone because my friends are already finished by the time my meal is brought back to the table. (Why is it so difficult to get a hard poached egg?)
Once I get the meal the way I’ve ordered it, it’s delicious! Great menu variety and reasonable pricing.

I am not sure why this place has such low ratings. L’Oeufrier is a completely reasonable breakfast joint. They serve all the fan favourites with a few special dishes. They have a variety of milkshakes and smoothies. I have tried a few options and was satisfied with the meal each time. The services is all over the place, but not annoying enough to affect your meal.

I want to put no stars. I was stuck and needed a cappucino on a sunday morning. The female owner of this place can barely smile. She said they only had one size of cappucino so i asked for an extra shot. I assumed incorrectly that i would only be charged a little more but she printed off the bill and it was $ 8.41! I asked what happend and she said straight-​faced that they didn’t have a button on computer for extra shot so she charged me for two capps !! I can only assume the owner has no business scrupples, common sense, or otherwise. I cancelled the order and she said that she would «let it pass this time», like i was trying to pull a trick on her. I walked out with my crapuccino. They are always burnt there.

The owners all always in house and although they sometimes help set tables and run food, they always put effort in to be in-​touch with the customers. The male owner entertained me while I waited for my friends to show up by busting the bus boy (shawn)‘s balls. My first time here I had the St Laurent (breakfast poutine with Swiss cheese, smoked meat and eggs Benedict) and it was 1. huge 2. Delicious. The waitress herself left a little to be desired. No check in ice we had our food, didn’t monitor out drinks, slow with the bills because she was chatting with staff etc.

I was appalled by the lack of flexibility on the part of the management with regard to dietary restrictions. One of our party of 9 adults asked for a salad since they are a strict vegan and the management would not serve any vegetables in the form of a salad at lunchtime on the weekend, even though they clearly had vegetables on the premises. Furthermore, when asked if we could eat our own avocado, we were told that there would be a charge for giving a plate!!! I do believe the server felt terrible that one guest could not be accommodated at all. With the number of people with allergies and health concerns, I am flabbergasted that a new restaurant such as this could have such a rigid and disrespectful attitude towards a patron.
Needless to say, we won’t be back.

Went for breakfast here this morning and I would give the resto an A+ for food presentation, quality, and variety, but a C for service.
What hit my hubby off to a bad start right away was what we like to call «selfish seating». Despite one or two private spots being available, we were seated in between a group of 6 on the left and a bellowing couple on the right. The tables are very small so there simply wasn’t a comfortable amount of space. I, personally, didn’t mind it so much because as soon as the group left, our waitress slid their table over to ours so we had more room. I thought that was a nice gesture. Unfortunately we had to ask three separate times for a glass of water. They failed on this one. We ended up leaning over to the bus boy and asked him… was pretty bad.
The menu is great. A little pricy, but the food is good. I orded the Bene L’Oeufrier, Eggs Benedict with asparagus/​ham/​Swiss cheese, home potatos, and a lovely side plate of fruits. This was $ 14.99 but I’d say a very good meal. Hubby orded a basic egg/​bacon/​creton meal for $ 9.99, he enjoyed it. They have great smoothies, I was surprised how fresh it was considering this time of year. They come in an adorable mason jar. Smoothies are $ 4.95. Hubby reported that the espresso was pretty good too.
Overall, my hubby was quite turned off and said he wouldn’t go back, however *I strongly disagree*. I enjoyed the breakfast and I guess I was just in a better mood. I would go back and I think it is return worthy.
Thank you for reading!
