I'm wondering if anyone knows of a good place for breakfast in Ottawa? Just thinking I might like to try something different. I'm thinking center of the city to the west.

In the west end, I normally go to Chances R by Algonquin and it's great. Just done it so much, I'd like to find another spot.

Downtown, I've always liked Zak's. I'm a sucker for diner.

I don't like Corra's. Way over priced for what you get, IHO. I know alot of people love it. I'm just throwing it out there, so I don't get a bunch of people saying "Corra's"

I'm looking for a place I can sit with a client or business associate and have a decent breakfast and chat.

Any ideas appreciated.

It's been a few years but I used to like Ottawa Bagelshop on Wellington.

Finally! Someone else who hates Cora's? That place is awful.

Try Kettlemen's on Carling, near Carlingwood. Not fancy, but they make great bagel sandwiches. I personally like Denny's though

If you're willing to go as far as Gatineau... La Fiesta on Maloney East is my favorite spot.

My wife goes to Rockwell's in Merivale Mall every week.   Good service; some bench seats and good non-greasy breakfast (well greasy, but not tooooo greasy).

I'm not a big fan of Cora's either and I don't even live in Ottawa, and yet I always see a crowd when I go to Jim's.

I love Zaks as well.

"Donna's Express" at the corner of Churchill and Scott is pretty good.

I also like the Royal Oak (in the Glebe on Bank). But I haven't been there in a long while.

I agree with the assessment of Cora's - terrible, overpriced and bad service. I do not understand the lineup.

EggSpectations (Bank and Laurier) was good but I heard it is closed. Not sure if it is true.
