The restaurant is situated above Smith's pub on Courtney Street and can also be accessed through the Quality Inn Hotel on the corner of Blanshard Street. Decorated in rustic Canadiana - it was a comfortable setting of folk-art pictures, 70's table lamps, Hudson Bay blankets and a scarf-wearing mounted stag's head. Nice mix of music playing too.
Breakfast pricing is simple - $12 for everything - and includes a tea or coffee. The menu includes waffles, pancakes, omelettes, traditional eggs & bacon/sausage, and poutine. Our table chose the poutine, an omelette and the pancakes.
The poutine came with a choice of red curry or sausage gravy (the former was opted for). Two perfectly soft-poached eggs were set atop a great amount of cheese, chopped bacon and hash browns, all covered in a lightly spiced curry gravy.

And then the hotcakes and ommy.....
Three fluffy pancakes were served with real maple syrup, two slices of bacon and a cup of chopped fruit.

The rueben omelette was filled with sliced corned beef and red onions. Served with rosemary hash browns, choice of toast and a cup of fruit. Sorry, one slice of toast missing...can't snap a photo fast enough when everyone is hungry.

All in all breakfast was quite good, the setting was comfortable and the inclusive price was nice. We'll definitely come back.
We had a hiccup trying to get in the place (as the Courtney entrance door was re-locking) - so if you're there for breaky, maybe opt to enter through the hotel (thru the lobby, up the few stairs on the right and down the hall to the end...worth the trek).
