Elgin Street Diner

Really good place to eat. Not super fancy but great as a bumping diner. Definitely affordable most entrees ranging from 15$-25$.The food was really great. I really enjoyed the cotton candy milkshake. And My fiancé really enjoyed the homemade pea and ham soup. And though we didn’t get dessert, there was plenty of options, I was quite interested in the rice pudding parfait which looked exquisite. The service was great. Our waiter was kind, well mannered and genuinely seemed like he enjoyed working there. And the atmosphere gives this perfect old school diner feel. I would go again.

The quantity and quality of food that you receive for the price is excellent. The atmosphere truly feels like a dinner. Milkshakes are really good! I really enjoyed my experience there and will be going back again!

I had never been and this is my first visit.nnChristian and I hope I'm spelling your name correctly recommended a burger and shake for a first time visit. I asked him to keep the shake a surprise, and I was not disappointed. The salted caramel shake might as well be crack, as I can't stop thinking about it. The burger was delicious, the fries....well... let's slow down on that. Who can eat that many fries?nnStaff were super friendly and the atmosphere was relaxing for an early 4pm dinner.nnI ate the burger before I remembered to take a pic lol.nnWil be back.

We took advantage of the first day the canal opened to go for a skate and grabbed breakfast here afterward to warm up. The tater tot breakfast poutine was so tasty, all of the tots were crispy even though they were drenched in sauce. The peanut butter stuffed French toast was by far our table’s favourite of the morning. We also got a make your own omelette that did not disappoint! Our server was a sweetie too. Great service and excellent food.

What a great experience! First meal in Ottawa was nothing short of perfection at the Elgin Street Diner. The service was impeccable, the food was delicious, and the milkshakes were thick and served in a metal cup! The whole family loved it!
