the staff are helpful, food is delicious and there is lots of choice. good value also. the only slight downside is it can get awfully busy and somewhat noisy so if you are going for an intimate chat, forget it.

Cors's menu for breakfast and lunch is excellent. Almost every plate comes with a mound of fresh fruit. My favourite dish is Peggy's Poach and Sunshine. All the meals are delicious. Don't forget to take a piece of complimentary maple fudge!

We go here when we want to go for brunch on the weekend, but it's too late to go to Von's. Their staff are very nice at some locations, iffy at others. The menu's big so there are options for everyone, but I find that they don't get it quite "right". Maybe it's that it's a chain, and I'm comparing... More

We love having Sunday Breakfast & Lunch at Cora's. The food is good and since we go with kids and grandkids, it's the place to be. The only complaint, every time, is the waiting time to get a table for 10. Wish we could reserve in advance...

There's always a line up for Cora's on the weekends, so we thought that we would give it a try. It's breakfast. Not bad, but not great either. It was just okay.

I took my niece who enjoys having nutella on her pancakes. The crepes are too thick, the pancakes artificial, the fruit is unripe, the restaurant noisy and the food very unremarkable. Coras perhaps started out as a great place for breakfast, but it has lost its way. There are many other places for a good breakfast in Ottawa. Coras is... More
