Cute little place. A bit crammed, but it was part of the experience. Amazing food!
This place has a lot of hype around it and having visited it twice now I can see why. Food and drink quality is exceptional, service is on point, and the atmosphere is precisely the sort of café aesthetic you would expect. Only negatives were the somewhat uncomfortable patio seating and generally cramped venue that I suspect is as a result of the huge demand of people wanting to get in.
Good quality food
One of the best brunch destinations in the greater Ottawa area.
(Translated) I liked my experience, but the place is really small. Dinner time is the worst time to go. The service was ok. Not great for a local place. The food is good though. Their selection is different and I liked my London Fog. (Original) Jai aimé mon expérience, mais l'endroit est vraiment petit. L'heure du dîner est le pire temps pour y aller. Le service était ok. Pas superbe pour un endroit local. La nourriture est bonne par contre. Leur sélection est différente et j'ai bien aimé mon London Fog.
(Translated) A must in the region. The best brunch. The number of places inside is very limited, around 16. In summer, there is also a terrace which doubles the number of places. Arrive early or be patient but it's worth it! (Original) Un incontournable dans la région. Les meilleurs brunch. Le nombre de place à l'intérieur est très limité, autour de 16. En été, il y a aussi une terrasse qui double le nombre de place. Arrivez tôt ou soyez patients mais ça vaut la peine!
Delicious brunch on Edgar's cute front patio. From their tiny kitchen, they produce transcendent, perfectly balanced dishes, wonderful pastries and delectable cappuccino. It was worth the (rather long) wait, especially on this sunny August day. I will return here when I am passing through between home and the cottage.
(Translated) So delicious! You want, a good comfort food and out of the imagination of Marysol !! You will be enjoying yourself !! You must try it !! (Original) Tellement délicieux! Vous voulez, une bonne bouffe réconfortante et sortie de l'imagination de Marysol!! Vous serez vous régalez!! Vous devez l'essayer!!
A tiny place with excellent brunch menu which changes every day. Don't even try the place on weekends as the line up can be many hours. Best to go Tues. to Thurs. The seats are limited with some counter chairs. The coffee is strong but tasty and the lemonade, although small is very satisfying. Recomend the place to couples.
Amazing food, and the staff are fabulous at managing the small space. Chez Edgar is a good time, every time!
Dutch baby. Baked goods off the hizzy. A brunch spot with a proper coffee program (using dialled in Zab café last time I went). ???????????? BEST.
This review breaks my heart. I had such high expectations of this place and finally tried it last weekend. I have tried almost all the other restaurants in the region of a similar category (North and navy, town, gazellig, fairouz, fauna, supply and demand to name only a few) and a few gems that are less pricy but a great experience (the Manx, the third and peach corner). I’m sure there is a context here and that 9/10 times the experience is great at Edgar, but it was not the one I had and will not be returning soon. I’m a bit more critical than the average, cause I know what to look for as my parents owned and managed their own franchise restaurant successfully for 10 years. I grew up in the field. Here is why I gave it such a bad score. 1) Gestion de la file d'attente (nous avons attendus 2 heures un samedi alors que nous étions 3e sur la liste d'attente pour 3 personnes et étions arrivés à 9h15 am. La gestionnaire de la file nous a clairement oublié et a fait passer une table de quatre personnes arrivées bien après nous qui attendions pour la même table. Nous lui avions déjà rappelé à trois reprises que nous étions là pour justement qu’elle ne nous oublie pas. Elle est clairement devenue mal à l,aise devant son erreur, mais ne s'est jamais excusée, et ne nous a pas offert de café en attendant. Elle nous proposé a deux reprises de s'asseoir au bar à la place, ce que nous avions deja refusé une fois et qui n,est pas la meme expérience qu,avoir une table. Elle nous a même dit qu'elle essayait de presser une table de deux personnes à partir le plus tot possible afin de nous asseoir, ce qui nous a mis vraiment mal à l'aise pour les clients en question. 2) rapport qualité prix et diversité du menu. Une fois servis, le plat était bon, mais froid. Pour un déjeuner de 20$, on s’attend à ce qu’au moins les patates du met soit chaudes. Le porc était également un peu brûlé. 3) Nous avons amplement eu le temps d’observer la cuisine et son fonctionnement dans nos deux heures d’attente. La cuisinière s’est gratée le postérieur et ne s’est pas lavée les mains avant de cuisiner... 4) la serveuse à la rescousse. Le service de la serveuse fut très bien. Une fois assis, le service fut rapide et courtois. Très positif pour ce côté là. 5) le fameux courant d’air en hiver. Pour un restaurant aussi bien coté, il existe des options pour gérer les courants d’air froid en hiver pour ses clients, comme installer des lampes chauffantes dehors et un système double porte pour limiter l’air froid. Un abris dehors comme celui installé n’est pas la même chose qu’un système double porte, comme au Lexington à Ottawa qui fait la job à cet effet. 6) ou était le / la gestionnaire? Pour Edgar, samedi et dimanche sont les périodes d’achalandage. Nous n’avons pas vu de gestionnaire... Je serais plus qu’heureuse d’en discuter avec un gestionnaire.
Limited menu and a bit pricey for what it is
Cons: Limited space - cannot bring one than 1 or 2 (absolute max) people Pros: Literally everything else
I really struggled with the number of stars to give. To be clear it was a decision between 4 or 5. First: this place is popular and has limited seating, so if you are looking at a weekend brunch experience, be prepared to wait. Service was great. Our server knew the menu quite well and minor alterations were entertained. The menu itself is short and limited. I really praise restaurants for limiting the selection: do what you do well without the bloat. However, the selection here was almost too limiting. There is a lunch menu, but I never saw it, so can't comment. My wife had the far ouest which is a hodge-podge of southern cooking: onion rings, pulled pork, jalepenos, corn bread. A little all over the map, but everything tasted great. Edgar is (in)famous for its Dutch Baby. It is quite rich: egg souffle, chunks of old white cheddar, pork belly, maple syrup, and apples. It tasted great, but felt too heavy. You well do quite well ordering this item, but be prepared for a heavy feeling in your belly.
Small but great food
Best brunch I've ever had!
We were excited to try out this place because of the reviews and pictures of the food. Not a good place for groups (we were 5) since very very small location. We were there on a warm-ish day and it was impossible to stay there because it was soooo hot we were sweating... No AC available. What made us leave before even ordering is the waitress. My sister is vegan but likes to come with us to the restaurant (even if it isn't a vegan location) and simply ask for a vegan option - nothing too complicated, just to remove certain items. When she asked the waitress, she looked at her with the most uncomfortable look, as if she was requesting something suuuuper complicated. Then, we didn't understand one of the items on the menu (we are not chefs) and didn't know what that word was, and once again she looked at us as if we were stupid... P.s. je parle aussi français. J'espère que le service que nous avons reçu reflète simplement une mauvaise journée pour le resto.
(Translated) Excellent food very good restaurant, I recommend it. (Original) Excellent bouffe très bon restaurant, je le recommande.
Great sandwiches/deserts but so small and packed inside felt like a sardine lol.
I have eaten at Chez Edgar a number of times (both on the outside patio and via takeout) and everything has been delicious. The daily focaccia is incredible and at $5.75 is a steal. There is a wide selection of lunch dishes. Edgar also stocks many incredible wines, interesting honeys, condiments and baked goods made in house. This is a neighbourhood gem in the Val Tétreau area of Gatineau, close to the Voyageur bike pathway. It's fun to cycle to Edgar to pick up something delicious and take it just down the street to Parc Moussette to eat on the park benches with views of the Ottawa River. Try it.
Greatest delight in town if you're looking for a unique experience related to breakfast. This small (now a bit bigger) coffee place is notorious for the breakfast brunch. Given a limited menu, customers are invited to select one of the few possible meal. Generally speaking, their meal are advanced stuff, one of the highest grade. Useful if you wanna show someone the many secrets Gatineau/Ottawa has to offer. Once you try it, you're not going to leave. Side Note: Even after the extension, this place is quite small, a bit noisy and food MAY not suit your taste. But you definitively deserve to give it a try.
Very innovative way of serving food and everything taste really great. It’s a small place, so be there early enough to avoid queue.
Delicious brunch! The chef is really creative. Very busy place on the weekend and menus r in French only. Place is small. Staff r very friendly and helpful and they will explain to you in English. Highly recommended.

The preamble: In fairness to restaurants we didn’t care for, we have omitted reviewing them. If your restaurant doesn't have a review on our board, we either didn’t love it, or we haven’t eaten there yet. If you are interested in having us dine at your establishment, send us a note and well get you on our list for future meals. We’re not here to trash the restaurants we believe have some work ahead of them, rather to applaud the restaurants we feel are above the bar. Stellar brunch menus with varying themes every week as the seasonal goodies come and go. The Dutch Baby (seems to be their calling card) is simply to die for (think massive puffy crepe filled with apple compote, maple syrup, perfectly cooked pork bellow and aged cheddar cheese), and the "take away" pastries are also of a rotating theme and similar quality ingredients. One of the best (if not the best) brunch spots in eastern Canada (and I have eaten at too many to count). Expect a line up on the weekends, but it is definitely worth the wait.
Incredible food and the friendliest staff!
(Translated) First time ... And it won't be the last! What a surprise and what a wonderful discovery !! (Original) Première fois ... Et ce ne sera pas la dernière ! Quelle surprise et quelle magnifique découverte!!
This place is heaven on earth. I wish I lived closer, but it doesn't bother me to travel from South East Ottawa. The Baby Dutch plate is a must. I take my wife for brunch almost every Sunday! What a treat she says :)
The small menu showcases the talent of the staff. Always hospitable front of house, be sure you arrive early on weekends for brunch as if you miss the first seating, you may be waiting a while.
To paraphrase the French saying: "les meilleurs parfums proviennent des plus petits flacons". This very small and intimate bistro hides the best food in town at really reasonable prices. My face always lights up when I think about going.
Amazing, imaginative breakfast items and brunch.
Delicious food and great atmosphere. We really enjoyed our meals, they were flavorful and authentic. The waitresses were super diligent, with a nice smile, very kind and informative. A downside would be that if the place is full and you're two, you'll most likely have to share a table. However, the quality of their dishes makes it completely worth it. Totally recommended!
First time back since the expansion and they have totally restyled the restaurant. This is one of the best breakfast places in the region. They never disappoint. Now they have much more room to delight their customers.
Incredible brunch with friendly staff and a cozy place to sit and chat. I cannot understate how good the food was.
(Translated) Rotten, unbalanced dishes, cooked and dry meat served with fruit to sweeten and hide bad tastes, (Original) Pourri, plats mal équilibré, viande sur cuite et sèche servi avec des fruits pour sucrer et cacher les mauvais goûts,
(Translated) Incredible lunch! It's worth the wait, really. Nice little place to discover in a small neighborhood of Gatineau! (Original) Incroyable déjeuner! L’attente en vaut la peine, vraiment. Belle petite place à découvrir dans un petit quartier de Gatineau!
I wish there was a way to give more than 5 stars! This restaurant is amazing. The atmosphere is sophisticated and hip. The menu is incredible, there is something for everyone. I personally love the Huevos Rancheros! The portion sizes are huge. The restaurant doesn't seat many people so look forward to a wait, it is worth it.
(Translated) Delicious dishes. I have been there several times in the past few weeks and each time I have not been disappointed. Very good iced coffee (Original) Délicieux plats. J’y suis allée plusieurs fois dans les dernières semaines et à chaque fois je n’ai pas été déçue. Très bon café glacé
(Translated) Tom cute and good (Original) Tom mignon et bon
I came here twice during a 5-day trip to Ottawa two years ago and I still think about the Dutch Baby that I had, which was incredible. Their pastries are also wonderful. It's a small place but it's definitely worth trying to get in!
(Translated) Still as good . What happiness !!!! (Original) Toujours aussi bon . Que du bonheur!!!!
Quaint little restaurant. Delicious food. Friendly service with a smile.
Great brunch place
Great place to take out meals, specialty groceries and treats during CVD, and when CVD is over, it is definitely one of the hidden gems around for breakfast and other foods. Home made goodness.
The food served at this place is great. They have only 4-5 options for brunch but they rock at it. There is limited seating and its on a first-come first-serve basis so make sure you're there early if you're making the trip! The chef-owner is remarkable in the kitchen and runs a very good spot. Highly recommended.
(Translated) Excellent choice always. But my pass order was exceptional. Everything was perfect! (Original) Excellent choice toujours. Mais ma commande de pâque était exceptionnelle. Tout était parfait!
Awesome little brunch spot. The menu changes, but they always seem to have great options. The food was amazing and if it weren't so out of the way for me, I'd eat there all the time. The only real complaint that I have is that it's too small which is a pain because they can get busy, so there's often a line and the limited seating they have isn't all comfortable. But it's still definitely worth it for how good they are.
Delicious food, friendly service in a cozy place.

Some of tastiest food in the Capital region. Well worth the detour.
Easily the very best brunch spot in the Ottawa area. Highly recommended.
(Translated) Always a favorite! I mainly went for brunch, especially since the expansion. Each time it is a great pleasure. Each plate is a work of art, neither more nor less! Take the time to enjoy each bite. The experience is worth the wait, which can sometimes be long. The service is good, friendly and efficient. (Original) Toujours un coup de coeur! J'y suis principalement allée pour le brunch, particulièrement depuis l'agrandissement. À chaque fois c'est un grand plaisir. Chaque assiette est une œuvre d'art, ni plus ni moins! Faut prendre le temps de déguster chaque bouchée. L'expérience en vaut l'attente qui peut parfois être longue. Le service est de bonne qualité, amical et efficace.
Dutch Baby.....OMG.
Tasty food with a friendly young staff, I will definitely return but this place seriously needs to be moved to a bigger place, it is the smallest resto that I have ever been to with a seating capacity of maybe 10, this can only hurt business, also people would be turned off by the cramped space but the food is great otherwise.
Simply the best brunch in the Ottawa area.
All I can say about this place is this... It's worth the wait. Arrive early, arrive hungry, arrive ready to be satisfied because the work and food that is served here? Is absolutely amazing. Executed well, presented even better and tastes phenomenal. Every time I pass through Ottawa or Gatineau, I am for sure spending my mornings here. This is such a great restaurant.
A gem in Ottawa. Great brunch dishes with a limited menu but each item is an absolute pleasure for the palette.

Great place for brunch!
Compelling menu and excellent coffee; highly recommended.
The best lunch, brunch and baked goods stop in the Ottawa Gatineau region. I've been going here for years and Marysol and her whole team never disappoint. Bon appetit
(Translated) The menu is great, but the place is very small ... I suggest take-out! (Original) Le menu est génial, mais l'endroit est très petit... je suggère le take-out !
(Translated) Good lunch, good service and very busy (Original) Bon dejeuner, bon service et tres occupé
Another fantastic breakfast at Edgar's
An excellent brunch/breakfast place. You have to place breakfast/brunch orders before 2pm after which they switch to a lunch menu. They have a small patio with bar stools and a few tables. Simple ambiance. Amazing food. They have a range of fresh cookies and pastries as well.
Amazing food and very friendly staff, especially our waitress Daphnee, and the hostess that greeted us at the door, Mia. You girls are beautiful and do an amazing job!! Thank you to the chef and baker you food...is remarkable. Worth the wait (as it was a Sunday and a bit crowded). I cant wait to go back!! :)
(Translated) A real gem. The service is friendly and warm, the breakfasts so tasty and original! Only downsides: there are very few tables so you have to be ready to wait a little to get a place, but the wait is really worth it. Lots of nice things to take away. We go back, it's guaranteed! (Original) Un véritable petit bijou. Le service est sympathique et chaleureux, les petits déjeuners tellement savoureux et originaux! Seuls bémols : il y a très peu de tables alors il faut être prêt à patienter un peu pour avoir une place, mais l'attente en vaut vraiment la peine. Plein de belles choses pour emporter. On y retourne, c'est assuré!
Chocolate cheese cake was one of the best cakes I've ever had. The pork sandwich was hearty and tasty. Coffee was also good black. To top it off, the vibe is pleasant and friendly.
(Translated) I love their food and the atmosphere! (Original) J'adore leur bouffe et l'ambiance !
Amazing breakfast
Very good place the food is fresh and very tasty.
I was thinking about 5 stars but I feel like that can still improve, small menu and great collection of ingredients is always my taste however the tastes are little bit mixed and you feel like needs more simplicity to enjoy each taste in a best way. Sweets were nice and delicious and total experience was recommendable.staff are very friendly and the atmosphere is calm and mostly quiet. Thanks
(Translated) Superb brunch ... really original flavor, good quantity and large choice of pastries ... (Original) Superbe brunch... saveur vraiment originale, bonne quantité et grand choix de pâtisseries...
Wasps. You can expect many wasps. Always busy. People seem obsessed about the Dutch Babies but I didn't taste anything special.
Hands down the best brunch spot in the NCR!
The best brunch in Gatineau.
(Translated) Good for a delicious brunch the dishes, the price is worth it, but just a small space and the duration to have a place can go up to 30min, but good .... (Original) Bon pour un brunch délicieux les plats, le prix vaut le coup, mais juste un petit espace et la durée pour avoir une place peut aller jusqu'à 30min, mais bon....
(Translated) Extraordinary pastry, fast and friendly service, but the place is tiny and very noisy, always very busy. (Original) Pâtisserie extraordinaire, service rapide et amical, mais l'endroit est minuscule et très bruyant, toujours très occupé.
A little get away trip from the city and Edgar was a amazing start. Reasonable priced and friendly service make it one of the best brunch near Ottawa.
The expansion looks great! Still the perfect little gem of this neighbourhood. A must for all foodies on either side of the river
(Translated) Yum!!! Shakshuka of death !!! In addition, they make the Best Latté in Gatineau in my opinion. (Original) Miam!!! Shakshuka de la mort!!! En plus, ils font le Meilleur Latté de Gatineau à mon avis.
(Translated) Excellent puffed pancakes! A little more strawberries would have been appreciated on our pancakes. Luscious almond milk coffee. Good service! (Original) Crêpes soufflées excellentes! Un peu plus de fraises aurait été apprécié sur nos crêpes. Café au lait d’amande succulent. Bon service!
Really good
Ran by a passionate and hardworking chef, this place is a must try if you're in Ottawa. Not only is the price reasonable, but the food is amazing, fresh and well paired. Prepare yourself for quite the gastronomic experience!
Best restaurant on the city?
Delicious!
(Translated) For breakfast, lunch and dinner it's Perfect, since the expansion there is a little more room even better. (Original) Pour déjeuner, dîner et souper c'est Parfait, depuis l'agrandissement il y a un peu plus de place encore mieux.
(Translated) Too good! Explosion of flavor! Amazing lunch. (Original) Trop bon! Explosion de saveur! Déjeuner incroyable.
Really good little place for lunch. The food is tasty and the people are nice. I will be back for sure.
Wonderful tiny open kitchen breakfast place, glad I stopped by.
The Dutch baby is amazing !
Amazing place
(Translated) The food is divine and the service, impeccable! (Original) La nourriture est divine et le service, impeccable!
Daily brunch! If it wasn't for the lineup I'd be here every weekend. Yummy yummy yummy!! Great menu all around!
What a wonderful find nestled in a residential neighborhood. The staff are the mostly friendly, and the menu offers an eclectic mix of familiar western classics with Middle Eastern flavors. Be sure to arrive early, as seating is limited -- although I did notice that the restaurant is expanding. Looking forward to the dinner service on my next visit.
Amazing brunch. Everything is delicious and the staff go out of their way to serve you. It's a must go in Ottawa, and conveniently located near the provincial park for those who enjoy biking.
Dutch baby for the win! Got there at 9:40 on a Saturday and was first in line, not by much. This is the brunch all other brunches should aspire to brunch like. ~outstanding
Nice
Always can count on Edgar for a great meal. Limited menu and outdoor dining only right now because of the pandemic, but with the addition of an awesome little bottle shop
(Translated) $ 18 for a pita bread with two eggs on top and pieces of salad is a bit of a stretch, not to mention that the coffee is not included at this price. They had sold me so much on your kitchen and I left disappointed. In addition, I find it a shame that at the price we pay there is no table service. Do not try to refill water or coffee, it is impossible unless you get up. (Original) 18$ pour un pain pita avec deux œuf par dessus et des morceaux de salade cest un peu beaucoup exagéré, sans compter que le cafe n'est pas inclus à se prix là. On m'avait tant vente votre cuisine et je suis parti déçu. De plus je trouve ça dommage que au prix que nous payons il n'y a pas de service aux tables. N'essayez pas d'avoir un refill d'eau ou café cest impossible à moins de se lever.
(Translated) Excellent cuisine! To do and redo. (Original) Excellente cuisine! À faire et à refaire.
Amazing lunch, huevos rancheros, and an amazing bakery for takeaway away as well
My favourite place in Ottawa Gatineau for insanely creative food that wows you in so many ways. The menu is constantly changing offering locally grown food and wonderful pairings you would never think of. The Dutch babies (big, delicious fluffy pancakes made in a cast iron pan) are especially amazing. Marysol is the chef and owner and she has definitely mastered the art of the Dutch baby. Definitely come here on your next visit to Hull/Aylmer ❤️
Honestly the best brunch in town! While the place is small, the service and food are mighty! I had le Bucheron which was an odd to the cabane a sucre - poached eggs, bacon, ham, lardon and beans, and creton with a side of sourdough toast. Flavours were great and left me full for most of the day. It's a small place so be prepared to wait.
Amazing hidden gem in Gatineau.. not to be missed if you're having food in the area!
(Translated) The coffee is delicious and the food too. The service is excellent. This place is a real jewel! (Original) Le café est délicieux et la bouffe aussi. Le service est excellent. Cet endroit est un vrao bijoux!
My absolute FAVOURITE restaurant in all of Ottawa. I have to refrain myself from eating there on a daily basis! Friendly staff, amazing tasty food and great ambiance. Love love love!
Great food, I always try something of the "new" dishes and I have never been disappointed. I just wish I could be always the first in line, as the place is small. FYI only two or three tables for four, so it's better for couples.
The Dutch baby witu fruits was AMAZING ! Well worth the price !! Finally back on the menu !!! Mmmmm
I have not tried pastries, but a trout dish from the brunch menu was absolutely delicious. Great combination of flavours and cooked perfectly.
Delicious food with a great presentation. Brunch is always great. Come early!
Always a line-up but definitely worth the wait. I wish I could come here every weekend. Got my vote for the best brunch.
This is a lovely Hidden Gem in Gatineau. Tucked in the middle of residential neighborhood it's the least kind of place where you would expect to see a restaurant like that. I went there on a Sunday morning for brunch and we're surprised to find the lineup of customers before the restaurant was even open. It's a small place with rather limited indoor and outdoor seating, and the brunch they serve is not your typical bacon and eggs type of breakfast. They have a creative and inventive menu that isn't very large. I ordered the "shakshuka" which was really delicious. And despite being packed, the service was prompt and very friendly. Highly recommended!
Best brunch I've had in Ottawa Gatineau so far. I just wish they accepted AMEX.
The only place I'll ever eat brunch. Ever. A must try place for breakfast lovers.
We stopped here on the way to Gatineau Park to pick up some lunch and we were blown away. The atmosphere was great and the sandwiches were soooooon good. We took our food to go but we will be returning to dine in. Bonus:they have ice cream sandwiches:)
(Translated) Local, friendly with delicious take-away meals, wines, beers and other carefully chosen products! A little gem of a neighborhood to discover! But shhh ... it's a secret! (Original) Local, sympathique avec délicieux plats à emporter, vins, bières et autres produits choisis précieusement! Un petit bijou de quartier à découvrir! Mais chut... c'est un secret!
Fantastic little space. Take out food available. You would think that with a small menu of roughly 7 items it would be easy to choose but everything looks so delicious that you're going to just have to make a few trips back to test it all out! Try the mini Dutch Baby. I had the full sized one and found it to be just a bit too much food. It was really thick at the bottom.
Delicious spot to stay and eat or takeaway
I ordered a porchetta panini for take-out, as I was in a rush to get somewhere. Shortly afterwards, in my vehicle, I began to eat just as Gould's 1955 recording of Bach's Goldberg Variations coincidentally began as well. It was a sublime moment, the glory and pleasure of just how good food can taste, combined with the tragic meloncholic realization of just how poor many other things I have previously eaten elsewhere in my life have been. It is that good.
Went for lunch, which was solid. I keep hearing stories about their legendary brunch- will have to try it out!
(Translated) If we ignore the lack of space, it's a very interesting place. You have to go there to have a culinary experience and not an American dish. (overly huge) I went for breakfast on a Saturday morning, there was already a waiting line. Once inside I understood, I found myself in a small corner wedged between the wall and someone who also wanted more space. If you have a fierce appetite, eat a little before you go. A bit expensive, but a great experience for the taste buds, it's worth a detour. They will expand soon as far as I can understand. (Original) Si on fait abstraction du manque d'espace, c'est très intéressant comme endroit. Il faut y aller pour avoir une expérience culinaire et non un plat à l'américaine. (exagérément immense ) Je suis allé pour le petit-déjeuner un samedi matin,il y avait déjà un ligne d'attente. Une fois à l'intérieur j'ai compris, je me suis retrouvé dans un petit coin coincé entre le mur et quelqu'un qui voulait aussi plus d'espace. Si vous avez un appétit féroce, mangez un peu avant d'y aller. Un peu cher, mais une très belle expérience pour les papilles gustatives, ça vaut un petit détour. Ils vont agrandir bientôt à ce que j'ai pu comprendre.
Fantastic breakfast!!
My only negative comment is I wish I lived closer. Beautiful food in and out. No one makes a Dutch Baby like they do with ever-changing flavour options. The food is dynamic, delish and made with love
(Translated) The choice is limited but excellent. The only problem is that it's closed on Mondays in the year and on Tuesdays in the winter. Prepare to take food for take-out unless you arrive very early. Besides the park Moussette is right next so it's perfect to eat on the riverside during sunny days with iced tea to go. Same owners as at Odile. (Original) Le choix est limité mais excellent. Le seul problème est que c'est fermé le lundi à l'année et le mardi l'hiver. Se préparer pour prendre la nourriture pour emporter à moins d'arriver très tôt. D'ailleurs le parc Moussette est juste à côté alors c'est parfait pour aller manger sur le bord de la rivière lors de journée ensoleillées avec un thé glacé pour emporter. Même propriétaires que chez Odile.
Great for brunch, pastries and to go sandwiches. They have a small menu which I love and friendly accommodating service. The venue is small so expect a wait during busy hours... the wait is worth it.
Yummy delicious
Highly recommend the Dutch Baby Edgar! The crust was crisp with a satisfying bread pudding like bottom soaked in a maple apple sauce with chunks of hardened aged local cheddar, along with a succulent mouth melting generous slice of housemade porchetta. Well worth the wait! Daily soups, salads, wraps and sandwiches are available, which are both satisfying and fresh. The space was tight and a bit warm from the ovens, but fittingly eloquent. The staff were accommodating and positively charming. The take home goodies were both enticing and delicious. Hidden gem and well worth the visit, if not to eat-in, take away is readily available for home or a lovely picnic on your way to Gatineau Park to watch the sunset. ????
Brunch is easily the best available in the ottawa-gatineau area
It was my first time going there and the food and service was excellent. A friend recommended this place and I'm glad I went to try it out. You should give it a try.
Quality food prepared with healthy ingredients ! However, this was our second time there just to give another try since our first experience was really poor in customer service. It was unfortunately even worst than the first time. Took forever to receive our food (45 min) it was around 11h30 on a Sunday long weekend ! Presentation was pretty good but cold ! Must have stayed on the counter for at list 5 minutes. I do not mine paying extra for a filtered coffee however we would have loved to get a refilled with our food. On top of that coffee had dirt in the mug so we asked to get another one with no problem. Unfortunately coffee was lukewarm not say almost cold. It was really though to get to talk to the server but stayed beside me and started acting nicer when was time to pay so she can get tip probably! For a 60 $ breakfast I would expect a little bit more for sure.
(Translated) Fantastic brunch! We got there early and got a seat on the terrace, great when the weather is nice. The meals are excellent, although a bit expensive. They are starting work on expanding the dining room soon, so the experience will likely be better for those who eat inside. (Original) Fantastique brunch! On est arrivés tôt et on a eu une place sur la terrasse, super quand il fait beau. Les repas sont excellents, même si un peu dispendieux. Ils commencent bientôt des travaux pour agrandir la salle à manger, donc l'expérience sera probablement meilleure pour ceux qui mangent à l'intérieur.
As delicious and surprising as always. Just living it!
Tiny place (which means you might have to wait to get a table on weekends) that serves up amazing plates! Go for brunch, you will not regret it (don't worry, any wait you have is worth it)!
Lovely place with lovely staff and even lovely customers (not including me) The have fantastic food and now they have (well, this is new to me as I have recently returned to Ottawa) food (groceries?) for sale as well. Marysol's huevos rancheros is the best dish in the entire capital region.
Nice hipster joint! ????
Excellent breakfast highly Original it has nothing to do with traditional breakfasts it's gourmet!!!
Super Yum .
(Translated) Small place near the University of Quebec outaouais. Very clean, good friendly service and the food I had was good (sandwich, salad and coffee). (Original) Petit endroit proche de l'université du Quebec outaouais. Tres propre, bon service amicale et la nouriture que j' ai prise etait bonne(sandwich,salade et café) .
You are so much more than just a dutch baby.... but thank you for those too. Thanks for all your heart and nurturing nourishment.
Best Brunch in the Ottawa-Gatineau region. Expect to wait for a table on weekends.
Super good brunch. Huevos rancheros we're delicious, yummy coffee, cute atmosphere with nice patio. Busy on the weekends but not bad during the week!
(Translated) Too good! The balance of flavors was just perfect. I would like to eat there more often. (Original) Trop bon! L’équilibre des saveurs était juste parfait. Je voudrais y manger plus souvent.
(Translated) As the five stars suggest, I loved it! Excellent welcome, a pleasant experience, a wonderful place to have a coffee and eat there or simply to spend a moment in good company. I suggest adding soft decorative elements all along the wall, perhaps also on the ceiling, to absorb the noise and make the atmosphere more ????. Go discover this very nice little cafe! (Original) Comme le suggère les cinq étoiles, j'ai adoré! Excellent accueil, une expérience agréable, un endroit magnifique pour prendre un café et y manger ou simplement pour y passer un moment en bonne compagnie. Je suggère l'ajout d'éléments décoratifs mous, tout le long du mur, peut-être aussi au plafond, pour absorber le bruit et rendre l'atmosphère plus ???? tré. Allez découvrir ce petit café très sympathique!
Small and cozy. The food is fantastic - can`t wait to go back!
(Translated) The best spot in Outaouais. (Original) Le meilleur spot en Outaouais.
Always absolutely delectable. I especially love the soup. It's always packed for a reason.
(Translated) It's a fantastic little restaurant! The dishes are original, fresh and always delicious! I highly recommend it! (Original) C'est un petit restaurant fantastique! Les plats sont originaux, frais et toujours succulents! Je le recommande fortement!
A must place to go when visiting the Ottawa area on a weekend. Limited seating.
Loved how cute the café was, and our server was very sweet with great service. We went for brunch and i like how they only stick to a few menu items that they try to make great. We both got the famous dutch baby. The combination of flavours and textures was amazing, but I have to admit mine was too sweet. Near the end I couldn't finish it because of the sweet factor. Comparing pics of mine to my friend's who went there previously, it looks like we may have gotten more sauce and that coyld have contributed. Overall an excellent experience minus the sweetness.
Amazing food!
Food and server - 5 stars But waiting is issue so.. Overall 4stars Parking on the street
No hesitation to recommend this cute and delicious place. Lunch, brunch or takeaway viennoiseries ???????? Lovely team and staffs!
Excellent exotic food in a very small restaurant.
You must have dutch baby and eggplant (brunch menu) soooooo gooooood. Panini was also delicious. Hidden Gem in Gatineau
Wonderful place! Just order the small one, the large one is for 18 people!
(Translated) Our experience at Edgar was very disappointing. First, we waited almost two hours before we could get a seat (we were in the top three of the waiting list at the opening). On two occasions, the hostess did not look at the waiting list and assigned seats to several other clients before us. She never apologized for this. During this waiting period, I was able to watch the operation of the kitchen (open on the restaurant). The cook was obviously unaware that she was scratching in several places, then handling food without washing her hands. Once seated, however, we had the pleasure of having a very friendly waitress. The food was also very disappointing. Two of us took the "Torta" which was still cold and was accompanied by burnt pork. Finally, I had the unpleasant experience of discovering that several salty debris floated in my coffee. We will not renew our experience. Hope these comments will be helpful in improving the customer experience of this establishment. (Original) Notre expérience chez Edgar fut très décevante. Tout d'abord, nous avons attendu près de deux heures avant de pouvoir obtenir une place (nous étions dans les trois premiers de la liste d'attente à l'ouverture). À deux reprises, l'hôtesse n'a pas regardé la liste d'attente et a assigné des places à plusieurs autres clients avant nous. Elle ne s'est jamais excusée à cet effet. Durant cette période d'attente, j'ai pu regarder le fonctionnement de la cuisine (ouverte sur le restaurant). La cuisinière n'avait visiblement pas conscience qu'elle se grattait à plusieurs endroits, puis manipulait des aliments sans s'être lavé les mains. Une fois assis, nous avons toutefois eu le plaisir d'avoir une serveuse très sympathique. La nourriture fut également très décevante. Deux d'entre-nous avons pris la "Torta" qui était encore froide et était accompagnée de porc brûlé. Finalement, j'ai eu la désagréable expérience de découvrir que plusieurs débris salés flottaient dans mon café. Nous ne renouvellerons pas notre expérience. En espérant que ces commentaires seront utiles pour améliorer l'expérience client de cet établissement.
Delicious well put together meals. With the wait for weekend brunch! Service was prompt and polite. A great experience
Wonderfully prepared food with few options though. Delicious coffee. Teensy. Be prepared to wait or go early.
Probably the best Brunch restaurant in Hull! They do serve the typical bacon and eggs, their breakfast ardoise only has 4-5 choices but their will leave you extremely satisfied. Their coffees are great too! They also sell prepared meals and deserts which can bring home and they are to die for! The place is a bit tight so you might have to wait for a table but it's definitely worth the wait. This place has a cute patio during the summer.
(Translated) I've been in Gatineau for 2 days and already in love with the place. Great food! Very friendly service! (Original) Ça fait 2 jours que je suis à Gatineau et déjà en amours avec la place. Bonne bouffe! Service très sympathique!
(Translated) What an exceptional urban café! It's like being in Manhattan. The food is exquisite, the open kitchen where everything is done close to us, the coffee of a great quality, the service fabulous. I can not wait to return. (Original) Quel café urbain exceptionnel! On se croirait dans Manhattan. La nourriture est exquise, la cuisine ouverte où tout se fait près de nous, les café d'une grande qualité, le service fabuleux. Déjà hâte d'y retourner.
An eclectic gourmet selection of original dishes prepared with fresh and local ingredients. I love to go there for brunch since it’s a nice place, super cozy, you eat good and enjoy a good service. If you plan to go, please be patient as there are only 6 tables available, so you might need to wait. It is worthy, the waiting time!!
Probably the best breakfast I had this year.
Big talent in the kitchen, great food on the table
Super good, really busy on a Saturday morning, but that's the price you pay for good eats. Also nice wall for bike pics!
(Translated) Best brunch in the area. Always busy. (Original) Meilleur brunch du coin. Toujours achalandé.
Food was okay but the customer service made it awful. We were excited to eat here because of the reviews but it seems very much that they don’t want English speaking people in the restaurant. If that’s the case, put up a sign or something instead of being rude when you’re asked to go over the menu— I noticed this with the way they spoke to myself and another set of English speakers who needed some guidance. I disliked the atmosphere in this place so much and would never go back. Hostess needs some training on how to address people in a more friendly manner. We were also waiting/seated before another set of people yet we were served long after them even though we were sat right beside them and were also ready to order.
Mmm Dutch baby! Highly recommended.
I'm gonna start with saying I don't speak a word of French and want treated poorly cause of that.they do have English menus, you just have to ask for it. Service was excellent! Brunch was exceptional, nothing I don't have in my fridge but just the way they put the flavors together and presented it blows my mind. Deserts are awesome and they all looked so good it was hard to choose just one. So happy I finally tried this place, it was on my list for the longest time. Definitely coming back!
Good food. Nice place to eat and go for a walk at the park.
(Translated) I don't know enough. (Original) Je connais pas assez.
Love the atmosphere and amazing food here! A must-go if you are in the Ottawa/Gatineau region. I live farther away, but always make a point to visit Edgar when I'm in town, and usually take some soups to go with me so I can eat it back home. Highly recommend the Dutch Baby, but everything here is good!
I will drive from home (Toronto) to have breakfast here
This place is so tastyyyy
(Translated) Super good ♡ definitely one of the best places in the region. The staff is very nice too. (Original) Super bon ♡ certainement un des meilleurs endroits de la région. Le staff est très gentil aussi.
One of the best breakfast places I've been to, However, get there before it opens to guarantee a seat
Friendly staff, great food, enjoyable patio setting.
Everything tasted like it had made from scratch and everything was delicious. Even the coffee was great. Had the Dutch baby which I think is a must order when you were there. Also got the shakshuka which was great. Two people two orders almost too much food. Service was wonderful
Overrated

Just an amazing brunch. I was blown away.
It's the best restaurant in town. Simple menu, but elegant and constantly changing. The food is amazing, the dishes are well thought out. The in store dining experience is breathtaking, and the to-go menu is also out of this world. Their pastries are better than those found shops dedicated to making pastries. Just go, it's great!
Delicious!
Ive been visiting Edgar for a few years now and their food is delish! Dutch baby is by far my favourite grab and go item. Their baked goods are fantastic as well! Coffee is ok!
(Translated) Outstanding counter to bring! Several home cooking dishes. (Original) Comptoir à apporter hors pair! Plusieurs plat cuisiner maison.
(Translated) The terrace is open! ❤️ (Original) La terrasse est ouverte! ❤️
Great for brunch. incredibly friendly service, and prompt. Coffees looked and tasted great, but weren't hot enough for me. The brunch dishes were very delicious - we tried three of the four on the menu, and all were great!
One of the best meals I've ever had. A new standard for what brunch should be.
(Translated) Excellent food and outstanding service! (Original) Nourriture excellente et service hors-pair!
This place is magnificent. It can sometimes be a bit of a wait, but is always worth it. I think this is my favourite breakfast.
Went for Thanksgiving Sunday brunch. There was a long line but it went by in less than 30min! Very efficient place! All my family got the same dish, the Shak Shika which tasted different with every bite. I loved everything about the place. Extremely kind people and open kitchen concept. Every one smiles at you, definitely going again! Hard to find on gps for some reason :P In a cute neighbourhood!
Excellent brunch with a limited menu. Best huevos rancheros I've ever had. Very small place, often packed, but it does have some outdoor seating in the summer.
The best breakfast in the Ottawa Gatineau region, hands down. Well worth the wait for a table
Great breakfast / lunch spot in Gatineau! Stopped in early around 11 on a weekday- no wait.. but it was almost packed by the time we left! The breakfast menu is short and sweet. Creative combinations made with fresh ingredients! We had the famous Dutch baby- pork belly, apple, cheddar, maple. On the sweeter side but so unique! we also had a shakshuka which was kind of deconstructed but all the segments of the dish were beautifully seasoned and was very filling. If I ever found myself back in Gatineau- I would certainly be back! Ps- the prepared foods (sandwiches, pastries, salad) looked delicious. Was way to full to grab one though ;]
Delicious food. Split dishes between me and my friend. Not cheap, but not going to break the bank either (unless you're a coffeeholic). We were seated with another pair of people, but it wasn't disruptive to either of us, however this is something to keep in mind if you're expecting a private meal. Wait times can be long, mercifully ours was only about 15 minutes, and we were sheltered from the windchill while we waited. Will definitely be returning.
Wonderful brunch! Everything tasted amazing. I will definitely be coming back to this restaurant.
Good paninis!
(Translated) Delicious, good service, original and healthy dishes. (Original) Délicieux, bon service, plats originaux et santé.
The best breakfast/brunch of your life.
Great neighborhood lunch spot with delicious sandwiches and tasty coffee. Their bread is delicious and they can make a mean Macchiato. Half of the pace is for takeout, the other half has a sitting area.
Fantastic food. Cool place!
(Translated) Everything is good, it's not confusing. All!! (Original) Tout est bon, cest pas mêlant. Tout!!
Best sandwiches in hull
Best brunch in Gatineau/Ottawa region
Probably the best food I have had for brunch by far. Is the setting and table arrangements perfect? No. Is there better breakfast food to be had though? Not that I've had. This place is so delicious and worth the wait. Please go!
Brunch was to die for, which was fair enough, as I almost died waiting in line for it. Absolutely packed both times I've been, but wait staff are friendly, efficient and fair in their management of the waiting queue.
(Translated) Nice nice food and large portion. Coffee should be included as it is not cheap. (Original) Belle bouffe sympathique et grosse portion. Le cafe devrait etre inclus car c'est pas donne.
Just had the porchetta sandwich and, as usual for Edgar, it was incredible. Juicy, savoury, fresh. Was one of my favourites for brunch before lockdown and the takeout has been a godsend since.
(Translated) Probably the best breakfasts in town, but it's important to arrive early if you want to be seated. :) (Original) Probablement les meilleurs déjeuners en ville, mais il est important d'arriver tôt si on veut être assis. :)
Wonderful little restaurant that serves beautiful comfort food. During the pandemic they have become our go to place to pick up some heart warming food to bring home and enjoy. They have both take out food and things to warm up at home. Things are always changing so suggest you follow them on social media to know what's available and on the way.
Deliciousness, everything was delicious
Excellent food, great ambience, cozy, friendly service, ????
Incredible food and service.
Great service, and very creative brunch choices.
The restaurant itself is very small with very limited seating. Expect to lineup if you plan on eating here. There is no large tables so large groups is a problem here. Had the Dutch baby which was pretty good. The pork belly was nice and soft on the inside. This ontop of Apple pie with crepe shell.
Interesting place. The sandwich was good but a bit sloppy in presentation ... for a shop that has a lot of takeout they need to think of a better way to package the food than to throw it in a bag with a loose wrapping.
Amazing food. Try the sandwiches.
(Translated) Best brunch restaurant! with choices changing every day. Brunch on Saturdays and Sundays only. allow a wait of at least 20 minutes (Original) Meilleur resto de brunch ! avec des choix changeant à tous les jours. Brunchs les samedis et dimanches seulement. prévoir une attente d'au moins 20 minutes
(Translated) Great food, but really too expensive (Original) Très bonne bouffe, mais vraiment trop chère
Food was just ok. Not many options. Excellent service. Good ambience but too hot inside.

(Translated) Excellent restaurant. Always delicious and tasty. The desserts are delicious! (Original) Excellent restaurant. Toujours délicieux et savoureux. Les desserts sont délicieux!
The food and service are great, but it takes 30mins for waiting on the weekend, and price is a bit expensive
First time we went here, we waited in a long lineup and the food was delicious. A quaint place that’s always busy. Staff are very friendly! It was well worth the wait!!!
Great food, amazing coffee (best latte I've ever had) and cool staff. Expect a line when it opens and during rush hours, but the rest of the day is not too busy.
A little gem in Hull! Excellent food!
Busy and popular place to have brunch, we waited around 15~20 mins to get in, it’s small place but looks nice and food are special and tasty. Willing to try everything there.
Excellent food, everything is delicious and fresh.
This was honestly one of the best brunch meals I have ever had. My wife and I both had the Dutch Baby and it was amazing! The pork belly was mouthwatering and is the perfect balance to the sweetness from the apples. I would highly recommend both the meal and the restaurant.
Busy, tiny, and delicious. Was a true delight. Definitely recommended.
The best brunch anywhere. Thoughtful preparation, fresh ingredients and fantastic people.
Food is amazing. Small place which means long wait but worth it.
Nice place for a brunch. Food is really tasty, service was also really good. The restaurant only has a few seats inside but a nice patio.
Please beware that their brunch menu ends at 2pm. If you want a famous Dutch babe, make sure you arrive before that. We had arrived after 2pm, so sandwich menu was what we got. I ordered a pull pork sandwich with salad. It’s not your ordinary pull pork sandwich, which drowned in bbq sauce. You can actually taste the original pork flavours, companied by cheese sauce and chips, made this sandwich so delicious. Good service and cappuccino.
Cute little shop with delicious food & heat at home meal options.
Amazing food and clean environment.
Service was prompt, friendly, and pleasant. My friend ordered the Shakshouka which although is pricey at $18, but was tasty and had interesting sides. I ordered the vege sandwich and salad. The sandwich was made with olive bread and had some feta, tomato, pepper, and avocado. This combination tasted like pizza because of the oily olive bread (3/5). The salad was a quinoa and vegetable salad and it definitely tasted like it was not made fresh that day. Because of this, I gave a lower rating. Also, message to management: you're over staffed. There was one barista working + 3 other waitresses. They seem to congregate by the barista and not do much most of the time. This is during a full house by the way. You can save some good money by having less waitresses work your space.
Good espresso
Love the atmosphere and the food was great. The only issue was sitting on the high bar stool to eat brunch due to the busy traffic inside. It was a bit uncomfortable and misleading when getting off of it. Its understandable because its a small spot but maybe a change of stool. Overall it still deserves a 5 star rating because of its service, quality of food, and fair pricing. I bought 3 desserts to go and paid about $12, its rare to get that price especially on a local venue. Definitely would go back again.
Amazing!
Amazing amazing amazing. Very small and people lineup early for brunch on the weekend. But worth the wait.OMG

Fabulous food & staff. Small setting. Best brunch
Food was decent Baby Dutch was too sweet and crepe was way too thick and saggy with all the apple puree and maple syrup, pork belly was good 25%meat 75% fat and 2 small pieces of cheddar cheese... No AC or a fan to make the inside temperature more comfortable while eating. Outside temperature was 38C. Maybe owner is trying to save some money. $60 for 2 breakfasts and 2 coffees.
(Translated) I love Edgar. Really a nice place in the small district of Val-Tetreau. With its delicious, tasty and above all ingenious lunches and brunch, Edgar is the perfect place after a bike ride or a visit to Gatineau Park. Go ahead, you won't regret your choice. (Original) J’adore Edgar. Vraiment un lieu sympathique dans le petit quartier de Val-Tetreau.

Fantastic
Fantastic lunch after a long bike ride from Orléans. The salad bowls and foccacia pizza were simply delicious and the strawberry ???? slush was amazing! …
Great food and nice spot near the river and Gatineau park. They vary their menu a lot as well.
Delicious & excellent service! Thank you!
(Translated) A good time spent with friends, even if the place can only accommodate a small amount of customers he has made his reputation with tasty plates. (Original) Un bon moment passé avec des amis, même si l'endroit ne peut acceuillir qu'une petite quantité de clients il a su faire sa réputation avec des assiettes goûteuses.
Amazing food and service.
My experience at Edgar was poor. Previous customers were complaining that they had a poor experience because they we English. We were also a group of 3 English speaking people and our experience mirrored theirs. There must be something wrong with your hostess. I asked for a veggie sandwich without mayo as I'm intolerant to eggs. The hostess right away told me she can't do that. In her understating, all your "fresh" sandwiches were already prepared and can't be changed. She didn't even go to ask to cook to see if anything can be done. There was really no other choice in the menu without mayo/eggs. Her only options offered were to take as it is or to leave. I didn't want to make an argument in front of my colleagues so i said that I'll try it. I opened the sandwich to try to eat the content without mayo. The olive bread was actually good but soaked with that mayo you had. But the most disturbing fact was that i found a hair in the sandwich. The funny thing is that i only open the sandwich because i wanted to get the mayo out of it and that's how i found the hair piece. I wouldn't have found it if i didn't open it, right? This was disgusting and i stopped eating the rest of it, barely able to keep inside what i already ate. At the end your hostesses did not even ask me about it as i would have shown her the all "natural and organic" with a piece of hair sandwich. She just took the plates and was ready for her tip. I agree with other customers saying that 60$ for 3 sandwiches is a steep and quite ballsy price. But 60$ for vegie sandwiches with pieces of hair in them is not only outrageous but a public safe issue. I had cleaner food eating from the street in Thailand. I would never go back there, alone or with my colleagues. There are so many nice place to eat in Gatineau/Ottawa but Edgar is not on that list. Of note, I sent this exact review to one of the persons answering reviews on diffrent sites (Marysol) to give her the chance to rectify this. She acknowledge the reviw but that's about it for the extent of their PR.
Amazing brunch. Had the Dutch baby and it was so good. Just the right amount of food. Very sweet, but I love sweets. Great fresh baked goods.
Most delicious brunch I've ever had. Friendly staff.
Uh. Maze. Ing. One of the best cappuccinos I have ever had. And the pastries, oh my GOD.
One of the best place for lunch in the area
(Translated) Excellent cuisine and attentive staff. The sandwiches are excellent. (Original) Excellente cuisine et un staff attentionné. Les sandwichs sont excellentes.
Great food!
Best brunch menu in the area, in the summertime. I'm never disappointed, unless it's winter when you can only be seated at 1 of 4 tiny tables.
extraordinary.❤
There is a reason this place is busy: fantastic brunches from a simple menu with ample beverage choices; friendly service; cozy and hip atmosphere. Four items on the breakfast menu and four more on the lunch menu. Plus baked treats, coffees, and teas. Today I had the Dutch baby and it is a lot of delicious food. While the antithesis of breakfast chains, I think there's something for everyone. Brunched here twice (2 people). While popular, we never waited much to be seated. Will be back for sure!
Best brunch place in town, place is very small bit it was well worth the wait. Apple pie with side of pork belly is simply amazing.
(Translated) Good food (Original) Bonne nourriture
Amazing, best brunch in the NCR. Come early, there'll be a line, but it's well worth the wait.
I’m usually not a big fan of brunch, however Edgar is hands-downs THE best place for brunch in the Ottawa area. Every dish is unique and prepared with care. The combination of flavours in each dish is amazing. My personal favourite dish has been the huevos rancheros, which I don’t believe is offered consistently anymore.
Worth the wait. Food is good, a must try in Ottawa.
Seriously amazing food! Never disappointed.
(Translated) Great little restaurant, It had been a long time since I had been recommended to do so. There is very little space, but the time is worth the wait, the team is always smiling & making sure to provide fast and efficient service. I ordered the veggie sandwich & a little coleslaw to go with it. Being by far the best coleslaw I had ever had, I left this beautiful little restaurant with a full stomach and an empty plate. It's worth the detour (Original) Super petit restaurant, Cela fessait longtemps qu’on me l’avait recommandé. Il y a très peu de place , mais le temps d’attendre vaut la peine, l’équipe est toujours souriant & s’assure de donner un service rapide et efficace. J’ai commandé le sandwich végétarien & une petite salade de chou l’accompagnait. Étant de loins la meilleure salade de chou que j’ai mangée, je quittais ce beau petit restaurant le ventre plein et l’assiette vide. Ça vaut le détour
Best brunch spot in all of Ottawa Gatineau. The menu is small, usually 3 to 4 brunch items. It usually has a dutch baby, and 2 - 3 other items. They've had some heuvos rancheros, and various other things topped with poached egg goodness. Everything I've had for brunch has been excellent. They have sandwiches and a baked section as well as take out meals. Be warned to get here early as the place is small and it's first come first serve. In the summer their small patio is open.
Wow! Top notch in a restaurant that is sadly too small but soon expanding! No matter, the queue will always stretch outside!
Wonderful customer service, food was average.
(Translated) A beautiful address in Gatineau. (Original) Une belle adresse de Gatineau.
This place is insane. Everything is amazing. But get the Dutch baby. You're welcome.
Amazing! We showed up at 9:30am this past Saturday (they open at 10), and the line started (we were 6th in line). The Dutch Baby is more of a dessert but its a "must try". Just incredible! We also had an amazing dish with eggs, potato and cabbage...again "wow". This is the best brunch in the Ottawa area. Very small, expect lines. Friendly staff (hard working rush).
A positively painful experience! It is all so casual and inviting that you do not know the appropriate time to stop filling that hole in your face. Delightful! Delicious! Delirium.
Super fresh and tasty, with great flavors! The word has gotten around, so be prepared to wait a bit, but I promise, it's worth it. We will definitely be stopping by again.
(Translated) Deliciously good (Original) Délicieusement bon
(Translated) Great! Really original menu. (Original) Super! Menu vraiment original.
(Translated) Nice atmosphere and extra menu! A beautiful discovery (Original) Belle ambiance et menu extra ! Une belle découverte
I'm a raving fan :). I wish I could go back every weekend. The brunch is just to die for. A must try for sure.
This place never disappoints me. Sure the wait is long, but when the food is so good I don't mind waiting at all. Very friendly atmosphere and staff. The place is small, but somehow they make it work. Coffee is great, and food is amazing. Definitely give this place a try!
Very tasty, try the Dutch baby
I love this place! Great food.
Their brunch is to die for! Not your typical bacon and eggs that you can make at home, but a culinary art! Can’t wait for Edgar to reopen in 2021!
We have been going to this restaurant for years and since it was very small place with 12-14 seats. There is still always a lineup in front of it and the waiting is well worth it. The quality of the food has been consistently perfect. I love the creativity and the quality of the food and great customer service/experience. I recommend this restaurant to anybody looking for unique brunch menu you can’t get anywhere else!!
Expensive but worth it
I'm from the Ottawa area, and I only just recently discovered this gem! It's a cozy (and I mean really cozy) little treasure in the Gatineau area. Due to the small size, you might encounter a bit of a wait, but the food is absolutely worth it. The staff are friendly, the drinks are decent, and the pastries are perfection.
Come here from Montreal. Glad it’s still open because they have awesome brunch. Dutch baby all the way !!
Love it! And accommodating to people with food restrictions.
(Translated) Unique flavors and beautiful atmosphere. Difficult to compare to other establishments, and if you want to eat at Edgar, there is not really a substitute possible. Perfect for a lunch with friends. The sandwiches, soups and coffee are all far above average. (Original) Saveurs uniques et belle ambiance. Se compare difficilement à d'autres établissements, et si vous avez le goût de manger chez Edgar, il n'y a pas vraiment de substitut possible. Parfait pour un lunch entre amis. Les sandwiches, les soupes et le café sont tous bien supérieurs à la moyenne.
A tight and cozy place favorite with local crowd
Great fresh sandwiches, with vegetarian options. Best sandwich I've had in a long time.
Amazing presentation and taste of dishes. Worth the wait. Great for two people. Don't bring a group
Awesome brunch and baked treats!
(Translated) Always excellent. (Original) Toujours excellent.
Five stars. Both of our dishes were superb. I can only wish they heat the plate for fingerling potato/ duck confit, as it cools down too quick. Very good cappuccino , I had to get a second one. Friendly service, interesting design of the place. We came here from one of the museum in Ottawa for a good lunch, and we got it. Highly recommend. Parking right in front.
Came in for lunch, and was highly anticipating to try this restaurant as our friends had kept recommending it. When me and my bf got there, we were the only customers. We ordered drinks, a sandwich and a tarte. We get our food and still no drinks. 2 table came in after us, and they received their drink and meal quickly after their arrival. Then the server came and asked the other 2 table how was everything and avoided our table. Both my bf and I are servers so we know how service works, this was by far one of the worst experiences I’ve encountered.
Definitely a gem. Excellent brunch options. Small menu, great service. Worth the wait
Place sublime..un must.!!
Best brunch!! I have seen people wait for over an hour during the weekend. Small but lot of character.
Food comes out fairly quickly.
Best brunch place in Ottawa.
Extra
Fresh food and creative dishes from the chef. Not much room so prepare to wait. You will not regret it its worth it.
Delicious fresh ingredients with their own spin on things. Beautiful presentation in a very quaint location
Edgar est une découverte gourmande fétiche. Je vous le souhaite encore et encore! Everything here is superior eating. Yes, everything. Be warned there is a wait at the door on weekends. Also, seating is 1 or 2 people inside (there are 11 seats) and groups up to 4 people on the seasonal terrasse. You Definitely Want To Eat Here.
Forgettable food, long lines (admittedly not as bad as it used to be). I simply cannot understand the hype that this place gets.
My fav brunch restaurant :)
(Translated) We did not manage to arrive in time for the brunch - the restaurant being full 5 minutes after opening on a Saturday morning - but we took some beige to take away. Gatineau's Drake Devonshire if you're asking me. And yes, the donuts are pretty good.

Best breakfast spot! A hidden gem :)
(Translated) I bought a container of baked beans with pork shanks and a huge portion of Cipaille. I have enough for a week to myself! The Cipaille is first class! (Original) J'ai acheté un contenant de feves aux lard aux jarrets de porc et une portion énorme de Cipaille. J'en ai assez pour une semaine a moi mème! Le Cipaille est de première classe!
Quaint and delicious. The vegetarian panini was simple but divine
The best brunch in town. Great food, beautiful presentation, lovely service. Highly recommended.
The service was great, the food was alright. We heard about the lines so we arrived 1hr early on Sat...the line started forming 30mins prior to opening.
(Translated) Excellent coffee, plate and service !! (Original) Excellents café, assiette et service!!
(Translated) Great, very welcoming, nice terrace, great food! (Original) Super, très accueillants, jolie terrasse, très bonne bouffe !
Hands-down, the best breakfast place in all of Ottawa, Gatineau and surrounding area.
Long wait for a spot, worth every second. The food is the best brunch in town. Everything in the menu is a 11/10.
Love the brunch here. Always a great experience.
Delicious!!!
Amazing food and super cool atmosphere
I really enjoyed my brunch at this place. Definitely coming back
(Translated) Best place for brunch and dinner in the Outaouais! (Original) Meilleur endroit à brunch et diner en Outaouais!
(Translated) Best meat pie ever (Original) Meilleures tourtière jamais mangé
Enjoyed this unique place. Food is fantastic, staff is so friendly and welcoming. Will be back again. Don't be afraid to wait for your table. Be patient and relax, it is worth the wait!!!
INCREDIBLE brunch! Truly worth any wait. The food was amazing, fantastic coffee, and the staff was wonderful and kind.
If visiting the National Capital Region, one must pay a visit to this wonderful brunch cafe. Everything is homemade, prices are fair, staff members are super friendly and most importantly, the dishes are excellent. The limited menu is a testament of an exceptional culinary operation: keeping the menu short means everything will most likely be extremely fresh and homemade.
Bunch of Covid nut jobs dont even do proper service or offer indoor dining... go anywhere else if you're looking for a good experience. Essentially a high end mcdonalds.
Menu is in French only so it was a little hard to know what I was ordering. Not much of a selection.
Worth the wait. Great service. Great food. The cappuccino was amazing!
(Translated) The food is really delicious. The place is small and the wait time a bit long but it's worth it. (Original) La bouffe est vraiment délicieuse. L'endroit est petit et le temps d'attente un peu long mais ça vaut le coup.
Excellent take out!
Fantastic brunch. We went Saturday, February the 10. I had the peameal with an americano and my girlfriend had the mijoté and a maple brioche bun. Everything was delicious. The staff is gracious and friendly. A top tier experience, no doubt.
The perfect balance between sweet and the salty. Edgar has always been very satisfying and today was no exception. I too the huevos rancheros which came with a nice salad with roasted pumpkin seeds. Service was probably prompt and courteous. Will come again.
Very small space with few seats so chances are there’ll be a wait but the food is well worth the wait. Highly recommend!
Incredibly fresh foods, with unique flavours, and tastes. Far from ordinary, and still spot on, Edgar is a burst of colour in the sandwich game. Definitely worth the trip!
Fabulous store for essentials during covid times. Had a very delicious Oktoberfest meal and got the cutest tote bag! Lovely service from the staff as always!!!
(Translated) Very good - Tres bon (Original) Very good - Tres bon
Cool little place in Gatineau. Friendly service. Amazing dutch baby with apples, cheddar and generous portion of pork belly. I drove from montreal a couple of times basically for this plate. Its that good
Service 100% very friendly welcome. The restaurant is decorated very simply. (Bathrooms were a bit cold) food was literally unreal, we got there late so they only had the vegetarian sandwich but it did not disappoint. We were quiet during the whole meal, just enjoying every fricken bite. Wow. Code was delicious, salad was innovative and tasty. Love love love this place. Will probably be my new regular spot.
Take out only!!!!
i have never eaten in such a great place like that, congrats to the chef and all the waiters and waitresses too, good customer service
(Translated) Very good place for a meal @ take out (Original) Très bon endroit pour un repas @ emporter
Ottawa and Gatineau are two very boring places but I think a few places can cheer everybody up in these two cities and one of them is absolutely EDGAR. Everyone should try this place. They are just so good period.
(Translated) Too nice and good! To redo! (Original) Trop agréable et bon! A refaire!
One of the best restaurants I've been to, excellent service and amazing food. Would highly recommend.
BEST brunch spot in Gatineau! The food is absolutely to die for. I can't really say anything - you really do have to try Edgar out for yourself! I'd definitely go back to Edgar is I'm travelling close to Gatineau again in the future. Delicious! Edgar - well done!!
Thanks for not serving the same old stuff.
(Translated) Very good, fresh and especially a difficult choice to make because of the variety. More expensive than the Tim Horton but we do not speak of the same quality of pastries and sandwiches. (Original) Très bon, frais et surtout un choix difficile à faire à cause de la variété. Plus cher que le Tim horton mais on ne parle pas de la même qualité de pâtisseries et sandwichs.
Best restaurant in Gatineau... Their weekend brunches are simply wonderful! I just love it there!! :-)
A very nice breakfast place in Gatineau! A must try if you’re in the area. It’s near the Gatineau parc. Expect a long line up.
Food is always great, staff is very nice, nice little neighborhood. A must try
Have enjoyed their brunches on other occasions but today (Friday) was a very loooong wait, and poor value for an $18 brunch that consisted of two corn tostadas layered with a spoonful of salsa and guacamole, and then topped with two fried eggs (despite the fact that the menu advertised the eggs as poached). Wait time = 50 minutes and was still hungry after what felt like 7 bites of food. Will stick to Dutch Baby if I go back.
(Translated) HUGE crush! The place is great. The owner / chef is exceptional! Absolutely wonderful take-out meals. Go encourage this small business! (Original) ÉNORME coup de cœur! L'endroit est super. La propriétaire/chef est d'exception! Les repas pour emporter absolument merveilleux. Allez encourager ce petit commerce!
Long wait
(Translated) Perfect latte coffee! My boyfriend always takes the vegetable or vegetarian panini (he is not vegetarian). He adores. We cook a lot at home and despite everything he says that we cannot reproduce it hahaha !! Really small place, few seats, you have to book for lunch. But we only say good things about this charming restaurant. (Original) Café latté parfait! Mon chum prend toujours le panini aux légumes ou végétarien (il n'est pas végétarien). Il adore. On cuisine beaucoup à la maison et malgré tout il dit qu'on ne peut pas le reproduire hahaha!! Endroit vraiment petit, peu de places assises, il faut réserver pour déjeuner. Mais on ne dit que du bon de ce charmant resto.
Amazing breakfast, amazing chai/London fogs!! The food is top notch, service staff, kind and efficient. Would highly recommend and will hopefully return. Thank you - Merci!
Dutch Baby! The best ever!
(Translated) I do not like having a big desert as my main meal. (Original) Je ne pas aimer avoir un gros désert comme repas principal.
Love the brunch here. Just the best in my opinion... although everything is super rich... guess that's why the dishes are so tasty.
Great food! Seasonal rotating menu! And great service! Definitely my favorite brunch place in the Ottawa area!
Is there a spot for more stars?! This place is absolutely beautiful, quaint, romantic, charming and delectable. Drove all the way from Toronto and was definitely not disappointed. From the drinks to the food, honestly can't go wrong here. I'm bilingual but my partner isn't and they were wonderful with switching back and forth between languages. Great hospitality, amazing food and charming atmosphere.
Went this morning for breakfast, as we are foodies and like to try different places for brunch. I have seen all of the buzz online for this restaurant so had pretty high hopes for an amazing brunch. The restaurant is a nice little place, and has a good atmosphere. We ordered a drip coffee (good) and a london fog (on the sweet side). My wife ordered the soup du jour (tomato) to start and it was really delicious. I ordered a doughnut hole and it was very good as well. For the mains we ordered the dutch baby and the salmon croquette. We both found the main breakfasts underwhelming especially for the price. Neither of us finished our breakfasts. The reason being that the dutch baby lacked overall quality of preparation and the croquette was not seasoned very well and was a little on the dry side. The service was good. We would likely not return for breakfast but the lunch menu looks promising. I hope we won't be disappointed for the lunch if we do return.
(Translated) A place to discover in the Outaouais. Lots of fresh, ready-to-go meals. Very good ! Sorry I ain't no pictures. And now there is a terrace! (Original) Un endroit à découvrir dans l'Outaouais. Beaucoup de repas frais et déjà préparés pour emporter. Très bon ! Désolé je n'est pas de photos. Et maintenant il y a une terrasse !
26 seats and a couple of stools at the counter, so line up 15 minutes before the place opens for brunch to be safe. Mains for brunch are approx $18-19. Baked goods, sandwiches, and frozen meals are available for takeaway. Had the Dutch pancake, large portion and delicious with apples and cheddar. Also available in mini portion for sharing! Husband got the shakshuka served in a pita from a muffin mold with a side salad and eggplans, interesting twist. My decaf FW was very bitter unfortunately. Would return but avoid going if more than a group of 4.
(Translated) It was so good ... (Original) C'était tellement bon...
Very good
Amazing brunch!! Everything was delicious, excellent atmosphere, food and service! Highly recommend!
(Translated) Very very good ! (Original) Tres tres bon !
This is 5* food at a more then decent price! It's bye far the best brunch i ever had!
Best brunch spot in Gatineau. The seasonal Dutch baby is a must have, but their sandwiches, pastries, and coffee are also excellent. Lots of take out options too.
They have amazing tasting brunch dishes. Will definitely be back!
(Translated) Great food! (Original) Excellente bouffe !
Probably one of my favourite restaurants in this area. I have tried both their breakfast and lunch and every single time I am blown away by the amazing flavour. You will almost certainly have to wait as this place is very small. I think the owner prefers it this way so she can be super attentive to the food that is being made. I’ve watched her in action and she spares no attention to detail and takes her time with each dish and you can taste it. Their breakfast is amazing and a great portion size. Their sandwiches next level amazing!!! And I loooove their Mac and cheese!
I've been wanting to go to Chez Edgar for so long and I finally did! I went spontaneously after my family and I went for a hike on the nearby trails. Upon entering the shop, I was greeted by the outgoing and friendly staff, making my experience very positive. I ordered food to go and had an iced coffee, which was delicious, and their infamous Dutch Baby, and it did not disappoint! I hope to return soon!
(Translated) Very good food. (Original) Très bonne bouffe.
Wonderful food, amazing how they blend different flavours together to make something so tasty. Some people may find it a bit pricey, but totally worth treating yourself and others!
Been here a few times. As usual. Excellent food, friendly bilingual service. The food is made with wholesome ingredients and assembled uniquely with abundant flavour.
(Translated) Excellent and always very good. A place to discover when you're in Gatineau / Ottawa (Original) Excellent et toujours très bon. Un endroit à découvrir absolument lorsqu'on est à Gatineau/Ottawa
The food is incredible!!! One of the best brunches I've ever had!
I'm not going to say anything about the food, I want to talk about the service, the staff at this small restaurant is very attentive they are constantly watching to make sure you don't need anything and to make sure everything is okay and what the heck, let's talk about the food, absolutely mind-blowing, it has a small menu but when your product is this good you don't need a lot of things on there, it was absolutely fantastic.????????????????
We drive 35 mins from Ottawa to Edgar and brought my granny and her friend for a nice lunch only to find there was no seating for two little grannies 5 feet tall inside. I asked the staff for help but nothing could be done for us. So we went to Cinq Sens and had a wonderful brunch. Very disappointed with the service. The show you gotta eat here shouldn't have.
(Translated) Always good no matter what you eat! (Original) Toujours bon peu importe ce que l'on mange!
(Translated) Delicious, refined, surprising. A must. (Original) Délicieux, raffinés, surprenant. Un must.
Great food whether vegetarian or not.
so look good! a short trek from Ottawa but worth it! all their dishes are divine! I still remember what I ate the first time I went 3 years ago!
Veggie panini with avocado is crispy and full of flavour. Cozy but well worth it. You can also take their food to go.
(Translated) Fresh. Tasty. Friendly, fast service. Although small, the side table is well laid out. Perfect for a quick meal, when you want to eat well! The carnivore in me was tempted by a completely decadent veggie sandwich! (Original) Frais. Goûteux. Service amical, rapide. Bien que petit, le côté à table est bien aménagé. Parfait pour un repas rapide, quand on veut bien manger! La carnivore en moi s'est laissée tenter par un sandwich végé complétement décadent!
(Translated) Always good! (Original) Toujours bon!
First class breakfast experience. A must try
