This place has become a holiday tradition for me and my family. The three of us always visit the week after Christmas. We live north of the city, so driving downtown on the weekend only to line up forever is not how I like to spend my days off. Hence the after-Christmas visit was born.
It's hard to avoid a line up here, so I was excited today to see that it was so so cold and was hoping that would deter diners. We arrived at 11ish and there were only two parties of 2 in front of us. We waited about 15 minutes for a table. The service was very swift, even though the place was full and there were only 3 people serving. The place is always jammed, and I've never really experienced "slow" service as other report.
I always get the ham and cheese crepes - they are outstanding. The are drowning in a delectable chive cream sauce. I order a side of potato rosti to sop the leftover sauce. I wish they would double up on the crepe (is that even a thing? It should be a thing). The crepe is the best part and often gets lost with so much filling.
My husband and son usually get the hungry girl breakfast, an omelette or the peameal/egg breakfast sandwich. We always order the begin waffles to share. The waffles are amazing, light and crispy, not the dense type that is more common in North America. The rest of the food is very good. It's a little different than other places, and it's tasty and consistent, and that keeps us coming back.
