Cozy place and great food! Look at the pictures- all ordered dishes looks gorgeous and the most important, delicious The atmosphere was very friendly. We had a chance to meet the owners, very nice people. I definitely recommend this place and even I live 40 minutes away, soon I will be back.

The dining room is cozy and warm, perfect for a chilly day. The server was patient, friendly, and knowledgeable. Answered all our questions and gave us plenty of time to decide. The veggie crepe was beyond my expectations. It was delicious and satisfying. The flavors all worked well together. The paczki was fresh and light. This place is amazing-so thankful it's within walking distance!

Visited this new establishment with my wife for dinner last week. We had heard great things about the food and it did not disappoint! Food and service were fantastic, I can recommend the pork crepes as they were very tasty; I’d never had a savory crepe before and this dish blew my mind. We finished off our meal with some gelato. Overall a great addition to downtown, we will be eating here again!

Dog friendly patio (treats and water available), delicious crepes (strongly recommend the smoked salmon), and awesome service! The staff was so friendly. We sat down on the patio with our dog, expecting to take turns going in the building to order. We hadn’t been outside for more than 3 minutes before someone came out to offer us menus. We will definitely be back!

The place is amazing! The beer garden is beautiful. The food is delicious and the chef really takes pride in what he prepares. The service was excellent and staff go out of their way to make sure everything is perfect. Thank you for bringing such a lovely place to Algonquin. We will be long time patrons:)

The beet and feta salad was absolutely delectable! The polish pizza (Zapiekanka) was also extremely delicious! The cozy vibe in the restaurant is definitely something I will be coming back for.

What a great place to enjoy visiting with people who live in this area. It’s in a historic building. The food was fresh and varied. Crepes (sweet and savory) were there. The prosciutto crepe was delicious. The service was cordial. It was a great stop for a long conversation with a friend not seen in years.
