Again, I went for breakfast. I was met by a rude woman at the counter when I paid. I’m quite disappointed.

Excellent breakfasts, really reasonable price. It took approx 30 min to get our food after we ordered, a bit slow, both times we were there.

I'm so stoked to have found this place for breakfast. I was looking for a place that served waffles & maple syrup (which oddly enough is hard to find in Ottawa). The food was amazing, the waffles were crispy on the outside & fluffy on the inside, & for $2, they'll give you a can of organic maple syrup. The service was phenomenal. Our waitress (I wish I had gotten her name) was really sweet & funny. I highly, highly recommend Fontenelle Diner for breakfast/brunch. I would come back & eat here in a heartbeat.

If u search up garbage this place should come up I can't believe a place like this exists, absolutely terrible food, worst customer service I've witnessed in my 67 years of living delete this place off the map and never bring it up.

I brought my kidiots over for a late breakfast/lunch after driving up from London, Ontario. We arrived in Ottawa around 3:20 am. to bring back my daughter after the Christmas 🎄 Holidays.
I've been here twice, and both times, my waitresses have been exceptionally friendly & courteous.
Food is amazing (buenisimo). I had the Italian breakfast and I highly recommend it. Along with some chilled apple 🍎 cider 😋
Thank you, ladies. Your hospitality & friendliness are always welcome

Amazing experience at this family owned breakfast spot. We got greeted with a beautiful smile, service was fast and amazing. The food came out quick and everything was on point, their club sandwich and poutine is amazing, so was their breakfast and also the coffee. I highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a nice breakfast or brunch!

I had brunch here this afternoon and the staff there were just as amazing as their food. Made us feel right at home and really went the extra mile for us. I found my new homey breakfast place 😌

Fokuz you

Great find!
Overall all good food and good service. We had the breakfast club and the scramble eggs pancakes. If you’re wondering about parking, they have their parking just across from them.

I don’t know how patrons have such low standards. We began coming for breakfast two years ago moving back from Montreal to our hometown. We are shocked at how low the standards are here for quality. I suggested this diner as it was a favorite of my youth in the 1970’s. Well the quality is a far cry from then. I have a love of diners and when I suggested going here it was based on nostalgia for the decor and food. Although it was affordable at $10 2 yrs ago now $11.99 the toast was still stale and the meal left an odd tasting flavour in both our mouths? Perhaps the oil used for the grill, same with a grill cheese . Bread was stale and had a strange taste. Don’t get me started there was no pickle and they charged $1.00 for one unripe slice of tomato. $28 for two stale grilled cheeses and a small fry which also had a strange aftertaste. Probably a cheap oil for frying. While the waitresses are friendly and the booth’s comfortable, the food is bad. We have found one affordable acceptable breakfast diner here who serves old school hand cut home fries and the toast is never stale. Well stay with them even if it’s a car drive to west end Ottawa. Geesh I know cost of living is outrageous here but we keep having these bad food experiences everywhere in Ottawa. What’s up with that. Diners, fast food in and delivered. Each time its like throwing our money away. Sad senior missing my old Ottawa.
