Cheap Breakfast in Ottawa: 5 Menu Options Under $10

A cheap breakfast is easier to compare when you know what comes with it. A bagel sandwich and an egg plate with potatoes, toast, and coffee can both cost less than $10 on the menu, but they are different meals.

These five Ottawa spots publish an option below $10. Prices are in Canadian dollars and were checked against the restaurants' own menus on October 20, 2026. They are menu prices, not a promise of a final bill below $10. Drink inclusions, service windows, and the one published holiday surcharge are noted below.

Compare the menu prices

Chef Ric's — a $5.99 weekday plate on Rideau

Chef Ric's lists a $5.99 breakfast on its October 19–25 storefront menu: two fried eggs, two pieces of bacon or sausage, home fries, two slices of toast, and fruit. The published weekday breakfast window is 7:30–11 AM.

The Rideau location is 384 Rideau Street. The business also lists a YMCA storefront at 180 Argyle Avenue; use its official contact page to choose the location you intend to visit. Coffee or tea is not listed as part of the $5.99 plate, so budget for your drink separately unless the restaurant confirms otherwise.

The menu is updated weekly. Recheck the current version rather than relying on an old photo of a special.

Kettlemans — a $4.49 bagel sandwich in the Glebe

Kettlemans Bagel Co. publishes an Egg & Cheese sandwich for $4.49 on both its sandwich and value menus. It is a fresh egg and melted cheese on a toasted bagel. This is the smaller breakfast option in this list; the description does not include home fries or a drink.

The Glebe shop at 912 Bank Street is listed as open 24 hours. That gives it a different use from a diner with a short breakfast window, though shop hours do not guarantee that every item will be available at every moment.

Father & Sons — coffee included, with clear extras

Father & Sons in Sandy Hill lists a $9.35 Breakfast Special: two eggs, two slices of toast, home fries, and a choice of bacon, sausage, or ham. Its breakfast menu says all breakfasts include coffee or tea.

Breakfast is listed for 7:30–11:30 AM on weekdays and 8 AM–2:30 PM on weekends at 112 Osgoode Street. Use those breakfast hours rather than the pub's longer opening hours.

Two details matter when comparing the bill: the menu explicitly says sales taxes are not included, and $1 is added when dining on a holiday. The regular $9.35 menu price therefore does not mean a complete visit will cost less than $10.

Reynolds — a $9.95 egg breakfast with a choice of side

Reynolds Restaurant lists Two Eggs for $9.95 in its Classic Breakfast section. That section includes classic home fries or beans, toast, and coffee or tea with one free refill.

If you want bacon, ham, or sausage as well, compare it with the $12 Breakfast Special instead of assuming meat is included in the $9.95 dish. The restaurant is at 874 Clyde Avenue North. Its menu does not give a separate breakfast service window, so check directly if you are planning a late visit.

Deacon Brodies — a weekend breakfast on Elgin

Deacon Brodies offers brunch Saturday and Sunday, 9 AM–3 PM, at 247 Elgin Street. Its $9.95 Breakfast Special includes two eggs, a choice of bacon, ham, or sausage, toast, and home fries. French Toast is $7.95, made with Texas-cut bread and served with maple syrup.

The brunch menu says all breakfasts include coffee or tea. This is a weekend option; the brunch prices and hours should not be treated as a weekday offer.

For the lowest published price here, start with Kettlemans' egg and cheese bagel. For a weekday plate with potatoes and toast, compare Chef Ric's with Father & Sons. For an egg breakfast with coffee or tea included, compare Father & Sons, Reynolds, and the weekend menu at Deacon Brodies.
