Arrived 15 mins before opening on a Sunday morning and joined the pre-established line. The staff are simply wonderful; super personable and friendly. The space, although welcoming, is quite small so I’d advise against big groups. No fancy espresso drinks found here and your meal is served on a medley of flatware and mugs to the style of grandma’s kitchen.The best thing about this place is the ability to pick from a wide assortment of sides. Sometimes you just can’t choose between sweet and savoury! So order your savoury dish and tack on a pancake! Breakfast slider and cheesy potato side was not particularly special but the blueberry pancake? That was a game changer. If you like poffertjes, this pancake is for you. Jerk chicken benny is well-constructed with a good combination of textures and flavours. Coffee unfortunately was fairly weak though. Overall, I’d realistically give this restaurant 4.5 stars.

Chesterfields is hands down the best breakfast place in Ottawa!! We're fairly new to the city and have been trying to find a new 'Saturday Brunch' spot and this is the place. The staff are lovely, the food was so so amazing and everything was super fresh! 10/10 would recommend going if you're looking for great food :)

Chesterfields is a small but cool space. We went during the week and there was still a line at opening and a line through when we left. This place is extremely popular and we found out why. The food was extremely good, they give generous portions, their coffee was fantastic quality, and the staff was very friendly and attentive. We’d absolutely come back.

Worth the wait. We were trying to get to this place since last year. Invariably something came up or we got too late to reach there. Must say the food was amazing. We tried some mimosas, the Fun Melt Guy and Spice Girls brunch. Melt guy is a refreshing mushroom and cheese treat while the spice girls is a lively egg and cornbread combo. Highly recommend this place for memorable brunches.

Food and service was excellent! Space is super tight and wait times are insane due to its popularity and limited seating. Also, no parking - only street parking in busy Westboro ? We went for Sunday brunch and waited an hour for a table. We walked around Westboro to kill time. But, food was excellent and price was fair. Would go again!

This is one of the best brunch I have ever had. Everything was tasty, and cooked to perfection. The menu has a good variety for selection. And the service was incredible. The only small inconvenience is that the place is small so even if you go early most probably you’ll have to wait, however it is worthy it. Me and bf went at 11, we were told the waiting time was like an hour and a half, however we decided to wait, and we got a place in less than an hour. We ordered the Israeli board, chicken and waffles, and a blubbery pancake and everything was delicious and the prices reasonable. I can’t wait to go again. However, have in mind that if you want to go for mimosas those are a bit pricey. They should add a bottomless mimosas. But besides that do not hesitate to go.

Absolutely excellent brunch experience.I’m among those who thing that serving food in small cast iron pans makes it 10% better. But this grub didn’t need annnny help.Delicious Bennys and Brussels for me, and the plantains were really new and interesting. To me. Will be coming back.

Best brunch ever! Staffs were very friendly and welcoming. Fresh orange juice was awesome to start. and the classic brunch plate was literally perfect. Egg was perfect, bacon was perfect, grilled potato was perfect, hollandaise sauce was perfect. I was very happy with every bite of it!

The staff is soooo nice and knowledgeable. The food is superb, and really well seasoned. Also good with gluten free options

We’ve been here countless times and if you’ve drive by, there is usually a line up to get in- it’s THAT good and well worth the wait. Pro tip is to be there right when it opens, particularly because the space inside got much smaller in seating capacity during Covid. Staff are super friendly and attentive, service is great and you don’t wait very long for your food. I almost order chicken and waffles every time and it’s so good!Highly recommend for a yummy brunch!
