Breakfast Table

Friendly and smooth service. Food came out quickly and tasted great. Decently sized so you'll be seated fairly quickly. Calming atmosphere so perfect for brunch.

Been wanting to try this cute brunch place in South Granville and finally did when I had a friend visiting from out of town. I ordered the chicken karaage hash (why wouldn't you?) which is what they're famous for, it was delicious. Fried chicken and hash brown, pickled veggies and spicy kick a$$ chili sauce, need I say more? Must try altho it's so hard to not order something fried. Also my friend ordered the ube latte (does not have caffeine) and it was so good, so I got one too but as dessert as we asked for it to be half sweet and with oat milk. Our food took a long time after we ordered but we were catching up but it ended up being a longer brunch than we anticipated. I would go back for that ube latte and keen to try their eggplant casserole which also looked good on their menu.

Been meaning to try this place for awhile because it kept popping up on my search. Went there without a reservation on a Sunday afternoon and got in! It helped that we went 1hr before closing so the wait time wasn't that bad (around 15mins).

We didn't get any drinks here but the food was soo good!

vegan fried tofu & veggie hash - so flavourful! it came with fried brussels sprouts, sautéed mushrooms, avocado, baby tomato, alfalfa, vegan sundried tomato mayo, lotus chips. The lotus chips were super crispy and added a good texture to the food!

chicken karaage hash - two eggs, nori, sesame seeds, pickled vegetables, house made mayonnaise, sweet chilli sauce. It is one of their famous dishes and I can see why!

beef bulgogi hash - two eggs, kimchi, sautéed mushrooms, sautéed spinach, sesame seeds, and sweet chilli sauce. I love that the beef was minced, the flavours mixed well with it.

For dessert we got their off-menu ovaltine creme brulee, I thought it would be extremely sweet but it was not! It was the perfect amount of sweet.

Good interiors with enough space for a big group size and the service was fast and warm. 5/5 would recommend!

Had a great Sunday brunch experience at Breakfast Table!

Breakfast Table is located on Granville and is a great option for a brunch place if you're in the area.

We did end up putting our names down on the Yelp waitlist and there is generally always a wait time to get in.

I got the Beef Bulgogi Hash which was extremely flavourful! It came with sides of steamed veggies, eggs and potatoes. Overall this is a great option, my only criticism being the steamed vegetable were not as flavourful and I'm not sure if they were the best pairing with the beef bulgogi.

I also got their homemade Irish cream with coffee which was fantastic!

Service was quick and personable, our hostess took good care of us.

This place I would say might not be everyone's cup of tea (pun intended....why not.)
I'll tell you why.

It's a very local hipster style join, and you can feel it by first walking in. They are welcoming and friendly, but the standard and quality entirely reflect your typical even stereotyped neighbourhood diner. Sometimes, with places like that, standards tend to slip, because the majority of diners who tend to be locals choose to love the place in spite of its quirks.

It was a very wet day that morning and naturally the floor was wet and I nearly slipped inside. Perhaps mop the floor dry when mother nature decides to join us inside?

I wanted a latte and asked our friendly server if he'd recommend a second shot as I like my coffee strong, and I was told it already came with two shots.
It didn't. It was one shot at most.....and tasting mainly of just hot soy milk made into a pretty shape. Personally, I don't care how pretty my morning coffee is....it could look like a troll, but if it's strong...it's got my vote.
Moving on......

The Egg Avocado Toast was ok....some red onions, radish and drizzles of balsamic on there. I tend to gravitate more toward a "less is more", and "minimalist" but quality approach. So, I could've gone without the fresh onion and balsamic on my palate first thing in the morning.

You know, when I was in college I remember every serving job I had.....we had to clean the table with both a wet cloth and a dry one... to ....well....dry it.
We sat down at a wet table...another thing I could've gone without.

Breakfast Table was worth trying for the first time. Interesting experience. Never been to a hipster.....well anything.....it was different.
Will there be a second time? Probably not.

I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone! It's generic sub par food. Bacon came cold and was sitting in the grease on the grill, It wasn't edible. The eggs, toast and hash browns were cold. They can't make the simplest breakfast. After mentioning to the manger she blew us off as it was our issue for not letting them know earlier.

I visited on a weekday and it was busy, but we were seated almost immediately. My partner and I ordered a benedict and beef bulgogi hash. We thought the benedict was ok, and I really loved the beef bulgogi hash! It was very flavorful and I took home leftovers. If I'm back in the area, I'll definitely come back just to order this.

Looking online it showed there was a long queue. But when I drove by it didn't seem to be too busy so we popped in and luckily we were seated right away. The coffee crusted pork belly eggs benedict was perfect. Since after covid when I eat pork it has an off putting taste, but surprisingly this did not. I found it was really loud inside and it was hard to have a conversation. We had to kind of yell to hear each other. But the service was good and food was good. 10/10 would come again

Visited this spot when it was Ouisi Bistro prior to 2020. The Breakfast Table always seems to be busy, having eaten there now I understand why. This popular south Granville brunch spot is a good alternative to Cafe Barney across the street. Their only other real competitor is Heirloom - which has much less non-vegan options and terrible toast (unless you like very grainy, tree bark and horrible homemade jam).

The first thing we noticed was the volume/acoustics, likely the result of high ceilings and busy tables. The layout allows for some breathing room, standard tables of 2 can be pushed together for larger groups.

As expected the menu is mostly breakfast and brunch options, there is a scannable online menu with full selection plus a daily special.

Service was prompt, we were seated right away and the tables and space were immaculately clean. Very good hospitality from each staff we spoke to. Food came up quickly, generous portions, warm and very tasty.

We had classic eggs Benny and croque madame, side of toast, OJ and Americano. The portions were so big we couldn't eat everything. There were a good number of great options, including vegan choices, it had hard to choose just one.

Jam with toast was fresh and seemed to be home made and very good. The food was fresh and prices were affordable considering the size and location.

I don't think you will be disappointed, we definitely will return!

Explored this goodie for a family Sunday brunch - note that this place gets madly busy - so I highly suggest to reserve your table !

We reserved ours and they were spot on with having the table ready by the requested time - nothing challenging there -

Service team was outstanding - and was very descriptive and knowledgeable about menu items - and made great thoughtful and honest suggestions -

Food was visually stunning and flavors were all very great - I probably stuffed my face with everything -
But the dish that was probably less of a wow was the coffee crusted pork belly benedict - the coffee notes just weren't really there and I didn't really find the pork to have much of a crust - it was still good - but just not what was expected -

Overall it was a great - tasty experience -
The lost star is probably not entirely on the restaurant but other factors -
1. Parking along the street was $7/Hour - meaning 14-21 depending if you needed 2 or 3 hours for your experience - there is some free residential parking further along the way - that you could attempt to get - but it will probably give you a 10-15 walk to the restaurant - and for a rainy day that wasn't the plan xD
2. The slightly disappointing crusted pork belly -

Anyways, I do suggest you give this a try - I'll probably be back someday :) Let me know your favs !
