Great location- terrasee & streetside for people watching. Fab menu, including breakfast. Tasty food, switched on service. A little on the pricy side but was worth the extra for me.

Cafe Krieghoff is an excellent place for breakfast, brunch or lunch. I had the traditional poutine & it was delectable. The cheese curds were real & the Demi-glaze brown gravy was very tasty. Service was expedient, but not too much. All the wait staff were friendly & most spoke English & French.

Café Krieghoff, is a wonderful little boutique hotel centrally located with a decent price for the location. After a long drive & late work shift the night before I slept great a solid 9 hours bed was very comfortable. We awoke the next morning to go downstairs to a great breakfast the homemade bagel with melted Swiss cheese & house jam was amazing with the Americano coffee. Lounge area was great also nice clean bathroom/shower. Also appreciated the books in the lounge & room nice to have some historical references of the area.
We had a delightful breakfast at the restaurant. The food was excellent, the service friendly, & everyone left happy. Highly recommend for a great start to the day! 😊
This is a wonderful boutique hotel in an amazing location on what must be the most interesting & vibrant street in the city. The breakfast was terrific, & service was very cheerful & welcoming. Rooms are for people who can climb stairs.
