Slow lazy service on a late weekday morning in a half empty rest. The four of us were treated to runny eggs overcooked bacon weak coffee and small portions
When we complained to the elderly lady who served us,she whined about how people complain too much. We soon left,barely touching the food.
Not good. Not recommended
When I moved to Ottawa, a friend recommended Ada's, a diner he had frequented for many years.
Five us went in early January '08 and I've been there probably 3 times a week, every week, ever since. Ada, Wilf and Jaz know almost evrybody by name who come in the door. Sure it's crowded and noisy, but what a happy place to have a meal. And her soups are fantastic. When Ada knows you like a particular soup, she will offer it to you even though it's not on the menu. Talk about PR; this diner has it in spades. I often buy extra soup and take it back to the office for others to enjoy.
great little diner with great food. try their homemade soups - made by ada herself
some people have reviewed this place forgetting that THIS IS A DINER. what do you expect? it's as good as diner's get.

Don't get shafted by sitting in the hallway next to the kitchen! They not only brush past you with arms full of dishes but pretty much forget about serving you. No refills. You actually have to buy another coffee! Are you kidding me? At a diner! Prices are about $2-$3 too high compared to other places and food is lower quality and smaller portions. I think I'll walk an extra block and pay less money to have better food and as much coffee as I want.

The crowds lined up there say it all: Brunch at Ada's is an Ottawa institution. Ada and Wilf are the most charming proprietors in Ottawa and now know my whole family by name. I just wish they didn't have to work so hard!
Ada's used to be my regular breakfast place because it was close to my house. The best part about this place is the friendly service. The food is standard greasy spoon fare and the price is reasonable but don't expect anything fantastic. The ingredients are not the best and I really object to processed cheese in omelettes. Stick to the 2 eggs, bacon and hash browns and you'll be fine. The waffles can be very good when fruit is in season.
Great breakfast nook. Food is exactly what you're looking for. I've never been for anything but breakfast. Among the friendliest restauranters in Ottawa.
