Poached Breakfast Bistro

Delicious! I ordered the classic eggs Benny with a side of creamy hash brown cakes. It took an exceptionally long time (almost an hour, that I had to replenish parking) to get our food though for something that more than half the room was probably ordering the same thing that they’d be just cooking and flying out the door (ie. eggs Benedict). Always super busy so try to go before 1030 to get a table without waiting.

Overall good, but with some flaws. First, I ordered "The Stacker", and by its name and description, I expected something more substantial than what I received. The "stack" was more like a small mound, and there wasn't much food. It also came with 4 slices of bread which I felt was unnecessary, and simply a way to fill you up without giving you much substance. The food itself tasted pretty good, but nothing particularly interesting. Secondly, we had a relatively large group which they were nice enough to accommodate. However, since many of us ordered the same thing, the waitress was very rude when I tried to verify with her if she was giving me my order (I asked for an extra runny yoke on my poached egg, but other people ordered theirs medium). She insisted the one she brought out was mine, but lo and behold, I cut into the poached egg and the yolk is cooked all the way through. I don't know why she was being so unnecessarily stubborn. Credit where credit is due, the interior design is excellent.

Poached is probably the cutest, coziest restaurant in Saskatoon. This super narrow restaurant does fabulous breakfast food. We spent a good (almost) three hours at the restaurant, eating and drinking and catching up. It was such a warm environment, we didn’t want to leave! The fresh pressed orange juice (read Mimosa) is so good. We also did lattes and then finally breakfast. The crab cakes were good. And my friend liked her eggless omelette. But my FAVOURITE item in the menu has to be the potato croquettes. This place is great for an intimate meal. Or maybe you could score the booth and have a few more people! FYI: The restaurant isn’t wheelchair friendly, as the bathroom is downstairs.

Great place for breakfast. It was quite busy the day we went, they took our number and called back once it was available. Very friendly service and great breakfast place. I suppose you can go for brunch as well. We ordered butternut crunch, Bailey’s banana bread french toast and peanut butter hot chocolate; delicious and definitely worth trying.

Was excited to try another downtown breakfast place. We ended up waiting almost 50 minutes for food, and when we received it 3/4 plates were cold. At almost $20 a plate for breakfast I definitely expected more. The flavour were good but nothing to write home about. Unfortunately I was thoroughly disappointed
