New and hip. Young crowd. Good for cheap dinner. Everything is 5$ and I mean you get a full meal for 5$. There is also a rooftop patio. Worth the 30 minute wait if there is one.

Consistently one of the best brunches in Ottawa year after year. Expect about 20-25$ per person, including your meal and bowl of caffe latte. It's hidden inside the French Baker in the Byward market so why not grab some croissants and baguette on your way out.
