“Hungry Human menu item are delicious and very filling. Easily splitable and you pick two sides. I skipped breakfast and had the item for lunch. I will be full till 6:00 pm at least. Very good.“

“If you're a fan of Middle Eastern cuisine, **Foul and Hummus** is an absolute must-try. I recently visited and was blown away by their fresh and flavorful dishes.

The **hummus** here is an absolute standout. It’s creamy, smooth, and packed with the perfect balance of garlic and tahini. You can tell it’s made with quality ingredients and a lot of love. Whether you're enjoying it on its own with warm pita bread or as part of a larger meal, it's just heavenly.

But what really took the experience to another level was the **fatteh**. Rich, hearty, and bursting with flavors, it was the kind of dish you savor with each bite. The combination of crispy pita, creamy yogurt, and spiced meat (or chickpeas, depending on your choice) is a flavor explosion that’s hard to find anywhere else.

The service was friendly, and the ambiance was casual yet cozy — perfect for a relaxed meal with friends or family.

If you're in the mood for authentic, high-quality Middle Eastern food, **Foul and Hummus** will not disappoint. Highly recommend!“

“The food was incredible! We ordered the Jumbo Express and upgraded to hollandaise potatoes with a Cinnabon pancake instead of toast — absolutely delicious. Everything was cooked perfectly, and the flavors were amazing. I’ll definitely be coming back to try more items from the menu. The lattes were also fantastic — we tried the birthday cake and tiramisu flavors, and both were spot on.

Our server, Emily, was wonderful — friendly, attentive, and very knowledgeable about the menu. She shared a few of her favorite recommendations, and they did not disappoint. Her warm and welcoming attitude made our early morning visit (at 7 a.m.!) such a great experience.

Thank you for the great service and food. I’d give this Hunt Club location a solid 10/10 — highly recommend!“

“Love this place. Brings me back to my teen, young adult days! Our waitress was THE best; I wish I'd asked her name. I wish the East end location was still open, too 😞 For now, we will come here every time we have our dog groomed nearby .. every 8 weeks.“

“Very well decorated restaurant. Very quick and friendly service! The portions are huge so you definitely get your moneys worth! The food was fantastic, we were a group of 6 and everything tasted amazing!“

“We had an amazing experience at this café! The atmosphere was lovely, and the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. We tried the açaí bowl and passion fruit bow, both were fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented. What really stood out was how sweet and kind they were with our little daughter - it made the visit even more special. Highly recommend!“

“Has halal meat options, great service and kind people“

“Many better breakfast places sorry. crepes were rubbery and I was definitely shocked when they served American pancake syrup... which is just corn syrup basically. we are in Canada!!! how can a breakfast place in the capital of the country nor serve maple syrup with crepes or pancakes!!!? when asked they said they could get some but it would be about $5 with tax. AYKM #allomoncocofail #allomoncoco go to Cora's or Tutti frutti or Perkins instead! disappointed“

“Excellent food and a really friendly and efficient server; Meagan“

“I’m not a fan of scones, but the SconeWitch ones are absolutely delicious. Both sweet as well as the savory/ brunch combo ones. Scone of the month is always a nice refresher to their stable menu. Coffee is pretty solid too. What I don’t enjoy and sometimes ruins my otherwise great food experience is the staff, often grumpy and unpleasant.“

“Visited the Hunt Club location for the first time today. Our server was very sweet & attentive, Food came quick and was delicious. Can’t wait to go back!“

“Lunch today with a friend. We both had veggie omlettes, home fries, toast and coffee. Delicious, healthy meal. A lovely, attentive server too. Nice to be out for lunch with a friend! We will be back.“

“Very good service :) she was attentive but not annoying and you can see the smile even with the mask.“

“très bon petit restaurant“
