The food was more than up to par.. Amazing service from Ivanna…she deserves a raise, ask for her if you’re looking to dine here..🙌🏼.
It was a bit loud but I still appreciated the ambiance..! Thank you Eggspectation

Eggspectation is a fantastic breakfast spot in the downtown of Ottawa. The food was very good and the service was outstanding. Poached eggs were perfectly and the ingredients were prepared in house. The Lyonnaise potatoes were a nice change from hash browns or pan fries.

Hearty food and great service!

I ordered the Big Daddy Burger along with poutine, and I’m so glad I did. The burger was delicious with a generous helping of bacon, and the poutine was the perfect size, loaded with cheese curds and rich gravy — absolutely satisfying.

Our waitress was very pleasant and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. Definitely a great spot for a hearty meal! 🍔🧀
