Easily the best brunch I’ve ever had. Almost anything can be made gluten free. Had the blackstone eggs benny on gluten free bread. The hollandaise sauce was sensational, the potatoes best I’ve ever had. Arrived around 9:15, got the call 10 minutes later our table was ready, we were eating by 9:45. Didn’t feel rushed out of there at all given how busy they are which was nice.

All the food is completely from scratch and made from local ingredients, or from other local from scratch businesses.

I had brunch at Wilf & Ada’s and really enjoyed the experience. There was a bit of a wait before our name was called, but it was absolutely worth it. We ordered two dishes. The Berkshire ham eggs Benedict with pesto hollandaise, arugula, and perfectly poached eggs, served with their whole hash tossed with peppers and onions, was the clear standout for me. The flavours were well balanced, the pesto hollandaise added a great twist, and everything on the plate felt carefully prepared. The other dish was the duck meat eggs Benedict, which was also well made and enjoyable, though I personally preferred the Berkshire Benedict. Once seated, the service was excellent—friendly, attentive, and efficient. The quality of the food and service more than justified the wait. One important note: be sure to bring cash or debit, as they do not accept credit cards.

Delicious eggs benedicts and excellent service. The home fries were perfectly cooked and also delicious. Salad was fresh & tasty. We will go again for brunch the next time we visit Ottawa.

Went here for brunch with the family. Great atmosphere with friendly staff. We had the poutine, Eggs Benedict, burger and French Toast and Tostadas. Everything was delicious. It's a little on the pricier side, but we could tell the quality of the ingredients, so we thought the extra cost was well worth it. This restaurant was very busy when we went (afternoon) so we had to wait about 30 mins for a table. Unfortunately, they do not take reservations and they do not have their own parking lot so we had to find street parking. The food was so delicious and the staff were so friendly that we will definitely come again for another meal!
