L'Esplanade Laurier Market

We arrived there at 2:15 pm but they said that they close the buffet at 1:45 pm. They offered an alternative to have sandwiches or salads. I tried the salad which was about 7.5CAD quite expensive for a salad but it was delicious and the box was full. I ll try to visit again to catch the buffet before it closes.

The food is fresh but holy cow, what a rude cashier! No good morning"

Breakfast food was terrible and the orange juice I bought was past it's best before date.The eggs were weirdly chewy, the french toast was pretty much rock hard and the hash browns were overcooked.Bacon was good though, but only because I like crispy bacon.

Starting to be fed up with this place! After a while all food tastes the same. But what I find worst it is since couple months to a year they raise their prices for breakfast sandwiches. Actually they didn’t changes their prices, they start charging for veggies or extras that are not in the advertised original sandwiches.Example: 0.29$ for veggies, 0.69$ for cheese.This morning I wanted a sandwich breakfast, by looking at their prices I see this:BLT = 3.69$Egg & Bacon = 2.99$So I order an Egg & bacon sandwich with extra Tomato and Lettuce… which supposed to be 0.58$ extra (2 * 0.29$) = 3.57$.The sandwich lady wanted to add 1$ for an extra egg for a BLT and charge me 4.69$.I’m not that stupid! I had to argue with her that I order an Egg & bacon with extras; “It’s ok if you want to rip me off by charging 0.29$ for 2 slices of tomato - I accept that but don’t take me for a fool!”If you are not happy as a business that a customer played you, it’s fine! You just need to wait until the customer (me) and change/ adapt your price, but don’t start arguing with me!My sandwich this morning had a bitter taste!

I know people who live by the food at this location since it's located conveniently close to my work, but I find the value proposition a little bit lacking. The food is definitely well prepared and fresh, especially the lunch bar; but, the cost per gram from the bar is super expensive. The cost of baked goods, and pre-made items is more reasonable, but its probably on par with going to Tim Hortons.

I go here almost every day. The coffee is cheap and good! The food is good and handmade every day by a service-driven team. I highly recommend getting your to-go lunch from here.

I drop in on occasion (like this morning) and get me some take out breakfast. It's, it's good, and you pay according to the weight of your food. Not exactly sure what the price is, but if you stay away from weighing down your order with multiple hash brown patties like I do, you can get a decent take out for under $6, excluding coffe if you drink it.They also have the fruit cut up and ready for the breakfast time.

I'm embarrassed to say I've ordered sandwiches here more than once. The convenience isn't worth it. Maybe if you're starving and trapped in the building ... that's the only acceptable excuse I would have for eating here.Watched incredulously as they counted out the tiny slices of deli meat and cheese making sure not to exceed the owner's strict rules on product cost... Subway is bad, but this place is worse. At least the price is reasonable.

If i could give minus 5 stars i would. Breakfast buffet was a mess. Cold potatoes, greassy, not even sure what the sausage was. Eggs cold. Bacon, how do you screw up bacon. Never again!!!!!!!!!!!

Food is good, they're less expensive than many other places downtown. I find that some items are not super tasty.
