Our story
We were born in Calgary in 2009 with a simple but ambitious belief: breakfast, brunch, and lunch deserved more intention, bolder recipes, and hospitality that makes every guest feel genuinely welcome. What started as one neighbourhood restaurant has grown into locations across Canada, while we continue to stay rooted in culinary craft, connection, and a love of real ingredients.Our approach is guided by a philosophy of learn, teach, and inspire. We source carefully, work with chef-selected Canadian suppliers, and build each plate with purpose so every visit feels fresh, thoughtful, and soul-full.

I really love the food at OEB but today was a little disappointing. My mother and I went for lunch and both got the poutines, this is my second time having the poutines and they are usually really delicious, unfortunately today and for other experiences for my mother they are lacking. Some of the potatoes were undercooked and the vegetarian poutine doesnt have enough time on the heat before the cold toppings are added, the poutine ends up cold and the cheese not melted. The poutine overall was still very good other then those problems.We were sat next to a couple rather than further in the restaurant and I found it hard to talk as we were so close to others talking. The restourant is also overall very loud, I could not hear me server. The service was fast, we got our food and water fast, b
Atmosphere & First ImpressionsA modern, vibrant space with thoughtful design and a clear passion for detail. Parking was relatively easy, and from the moment you walk in, there’s a sense that this place cares about presentation and experience. It’s colorful, welcoming, and a great spot for a date or gathering with family and friends.Food Quality & CraftsmanshipThe food was very good and consistently well executed.Eggs were perfectly done over easy—exactly what you hope for. The bread was fresh and flavorful, paired with good-quality butter and condiments. The bacon leaned a bit on the drier side, but it was clearly high-quality and not overly salty, which I genuinely appreciated.The coffee was also excellent—rich, smooth, and enjoyable.ServiceService stood out. Friendly, attentive, and wel
I'm really shocked to see any negative reviews of this place. We come here quite frequently (at least 1-2x/month) and on weekends when it's really busy, we put ourselves on the waiting list and by the time we walk there it's always just a short wait or our table is ready. We went yesterday and as it was late morning on a weekday there was no wait at all. The friendly hostess seated us immediately and our lovely server Anne brought waters almost immediately. I've tried MANY things on the menu and at this point I generally default to my all-time favorite, which is the perogies and duck. It is super rich but oh so delicious. Hubs usually gets the lobster/shrimp crepe which he LOVES, but decided to switch it up this time and got the El Camino poutine. Last time I got a poutine, there were far
We were pretty bummed about this place as the reviews are so high and we found it to be very.. average. I had smoked Montreal meat Benny's and it was decent, the food was good quality. My husband had their signature poutine dish and that's where it stood out to us that it was NOT a poutine. I'm sorry but no. I guess everyone has an interpretation of the dish but there was such small amount of sauce and cheese..the smoked bacon on it was great but it's definitely not the kind of poutine you think about when you think breakfast poutine. The service was quick and the atmosphere was good too, lots of space. But based on all the raving reviews here I expected a lot more and felt underwhelmed.
I’m honestly a little shocked by my experience at this OEB location. The restaurant was almost empty for their capacity, yet my food came out immediately — and the crêpe was ice cold. I’ve had the same crêpe at another OEB and it was warm and fresh, so I don’t understand how a quiet kitchen still can’t serve hot food. This was only my second time going to an OEB, but it might be my last. That’s the tricky part of franchising: one bad experience can turn someone off the entire brand.I also ordered the smoked brisket sandwich to go, and for $20 it was extremely disappointing. It wasn’t toasted, it was soggy, and the brisket tasted packaged — not restaurant-grade and nothing special. On top of that, there was way too much mustard, and I actually like mustard. Even as a mustard lover, it compl
