Breakfast was great especially returning as a regular after two years of covid. But 9$? Plus tip. I wish them well.

Extremely slow, inattentive service for Sunday morning breakfast. Food, when it did arrive, was mediocre at best. Strangely, each bacon strip was crispy on one...

The Fontenelle restaurant, known for its warm and homely feel in the 90s, has recently disappointed many returning customers with poor service and mediocre food quality. Long wait times and unsatisfactory meals have led to negative reviews from patrons. However, some customers still find the restaurant charming, with great prices and delicious breakfast options. Despite the mixed reviews, Fontenelle remains a local favorite for those who appreciate affordable, home-cooked meals.

I used to be a home-owner in Vanier. Back then, I never went to the Fontenelle. This time around, I was most impressed. I do the long distance walking thing. I...

I ordered Ultimate 2 on the breakfast menu, the french toast was a bit cold, bacon and ham were dry.

A great, tired-looking diner that provides really excellent food cheap. Can't be beat! I particularly like the burgers.

This is a perfect example of where Yelp helps connect people with great local businesses through word of mouth -- amplified.
