Love their pasta and potato salads. Everything I have tried has been good! Only reason for a 4 star is the $7.50 for a small cup of not very good coffee.

Really good place to take a nice Brakefast, Locally owned. This Is a must when you visit Paris Ont.

The old owner used to hit it out of the park with absolutely everything. Recently stopped in to get something I hadn’t gotten in a long time, the hand carved beef sandwich I believe it was called, only to see the menu has been flipped with things like hot dogs, mac and cheese and typical sandwiches you can anywhere else that are much better. Tried the Rueben and it was tasteless, dry and nothing to write home about. Anyways, I asked where that sandwich went and was met with “it wasn’t making money, the previous owner was just breaking even”. Shame the food quality has gone wildly downhill in pursuit of cheap things that make money, like hot dogs and whatever else.
I’d say try it, but if you were a previous customer it’s best to find something else.

Has severely gone downhill since the ownership change.

I had a very disappointing and frustrating experience with this restaurant. I had booked a private event for 50 people well in advance, but communication throughout the planning process was inconsistent and unreliable. There were multiple delays in getting answers to basic questions, issues with his insurance and liquor licensing, and it often felt like the owner, Adam, was looking for excuses to back out, rather than follow through. Then, just 16 hours before the event, Adam abruptly cancelled—claiming he ‘didn’t have a good feeling about it’ and even questioning my integrity in paying the remainder of the bill, despite there being no basis for that accusation (deposit sent within 3hrs of receiving quote). It was incredibly unprofessional, left me in an impossible and unnecessary situation at the last minute, and showed a complete lack of respect for his customers and business. I would strongly caution anyone considering this venue for a special event. I'd recommend either Grand Bayou in Paris or Abe Erb in Ayr instead. Better food, better prices, better integrity in management and service.

My first time at this cute spot and it was such a great experience!! I can’t wait to come back to try the buffalo chicken Mac & cheese! The lemonade with berries was amazing, as well as the Bang Bang noodles. My friends got the eggs benny and the Dan Kim noodles and said how tasty they both were. Definitely recommend!

First off, the staff Ethan is super. The chef is French kiss. The food was filling, tasty worth every bite. Great atmosphere. Will be back.

What an amazing spot for lunch. My boyfriend and I ate here on Sunday. There was a little bit of a wait as it was busy and it is a small family staff, however, the food was incredible and the staff was very attentive and apologetic for the wait. I will say this though, we would happily wait again. The food was just wonderful. Every table left with a smile on their face. The Chef/Owner came around to the tables to greet customers. What a fantastic spot. Definitely worth it.
I always find the food here to be quite special. The staff cares about your experience, and the vibe is very cool as well with the novel art on display.

After seeing the posts on social media I have been wanting to try this place for a while. I absolutely love noodles so I figured I’d check it out for my birthday lunch with my friend. The food was amazing and the boys serving were very friendly although we must have came at an inconvenient time as we waited about 10 minutes at the door before being told to just seat our selves.
We also waited an hour after sitting down until our food arrived, and were told sorry for the wait a couple of times.
Sadly we had to gobble our food and rush out because of an appointment, as I didn’t expect the timeline to take as long as it did.
When we went to pay we were told it was cash only or e-transfer thankfully I had cash.
I think that I will give them a second chance maybe in a year from now after working out all of the kinks. When expected to seat ourselves it would be beneficial for some signage, when service is busy communicate that things are an estimated wait time and if it’s cash only/ no debit credit options should be posted as not everyone has cash or is able to e-transfer.
Sadly I didn’t get any pictures as I was in a rush to get to my appointment.

New place for delicious Asian fusion food. Everyone is very friendly and the dishes we had were great! The Kimchi is made in house and has a bright fresh taste.
We'll be coming back for sure

Do yourself a favour, and get to Secret Lunch ASAP! The food, service and atmosphere are top notch! The Bang Bang Udon Noodles are some of the best local food I've had!

We loved our lunch yesterday and came back for Sat breakfast. The bacon Benedict was the best I’ve ever had. So yummy!
