Eggspectation

Ottawa


The downtown location of this breakfast (and more) franchise is so handy and the menu so egg-citing that we couldn't resist sharing. It's cheap, cheery and full of sunshine from its bright open windows. As the day wears on, eggs-ecutive burgers, eggs-traordinary pasta and more keep the puns coming and the punters happy.
