L'Oeuferie

This bustling café is a Canadian chain which is well worth a detour. It will probably become your favorite breakfast spot!

L'Oeuforie boasts an extraordinary number of dishes all based upon the egg ("un oeuf" in French). Euphoric? You bet! The menu ranges from the classics (bacon and—you guessed it—eggs) to the fancy (eggs benedict in any number of combinations, including a vegetarian version) to the exotic (french toast made with a chocolate croissant) to the super healthy (yogurt). Be sure to order something with a "fruit avalanche." The beautiful presentation of a myriad of fruits (I counted over a dozen at my first meal) is an architectural wonder with a cascade of kiwis, strawberries, mango, papaya...and a couple of things I didn't recognize (but really enjoyed).

The lunch menu includes a pasta bar with a variety of pastas and sauces, as well as a selection of burgers and steaks. The evening (or "souper") delights with Asian dishes, fresh soups and salads, and more burgers and steaks.

I went by myself the first day then told others in my group. By the end of the week, we were all eating regularly at L'Oeuforie.

There appears to be quite a few business people who join colleagues for breakfast and breakfast meetings so the restaurant can be crowded (and noisy). Consider it a time to eavesdrop and work on your French.

L'Oeuferie

This pleasant little bistro offers a very wide range of tasty and well-presented breakfasts with views out onto the Rue St Jean, so you can watch the city waking up while you eat. And it’s just a 5-minute walk down the bank from the Hilton Hotel.

It offers a very fine range of (as the name would suggest) egg-based breakfast fayre - loads of omeletes and variations on that theme, waffles, toast, pastries, fruit, and some special plate combinations. In the end, we elected for an Omelette "Western" (i.e. a big omelette with bacon and hash browns) and waffles (beautifully presented with whipped cream and a good-sized portion of fresh fruit). It was all washed down with some good tea and coffee. It's very European in feel and quite a good value. Our bill came to less than C$20.

It appeared from the menu that the establishment specialises in serving up continental standards like pasta and moules et frites in the evening.
