Been 2 years since my last visit, glad to see the friendly talkative owner/chef is still happily chitchatting with his neighborhood customers. It's like time stood still. Why can't life be as simple as eating in a neighborhood diner. Can hear him having a lively discussion with his wife? in the kitchen while cooking up our orders. Ordered the meat loaf plate and crab cake benny. Meat loaf was a combination of pork and beef. 3 sizable slabs of meat loaf with plenty of gravy, mash potatoes and vegs on the side. Unfortunately, the crab cakes were not the same as the ones experienced 2 years ago, alot less crab meat chunks and alot more filler. Why can't good things last, plz support local mom & pop type establishments, we can't let large corporations take over our daily lives, nuff said read more

Amazing clubhouse sandwich with Greek salad and eggs Benedict with breakfast potatoes. A real chef here who cares about the details that is rare these days. Breakfast potatoes are cooked to perfection with onions. Greek salad is fresh with plenty of feta cheese. read more

Liked it. It's a tiny place, I think they do a lot of take out. While we were there (post quarantine) delivery people were in and out constantly! Location: On highway 7 by Kennedy. Across the street from Alchemy in a run down strip mall so it's really easy to over look. Parking: One of the few places on the suburbs with practically no parking. There's very few spots but there is side street parking. Decor: Shabby chic minus the chic. They obviously dont spend anything on decor so theres not a lot of overhead and its reflected in the prices. The place is tiny. It's not a place for groups. It's mostly a 4 person group place. There's only one 6 person, five 4 person tables and a 2 person table. Food: I loved the food. Everyrhing was delicious and the portions are pretty big. Those hashbrowns taste like they are fried in broth or something. There is so much freaking flavour in such a small piece of potato. Cost: The prices are great because there doesn't seem to be alot of overhead. Staff: Looksime one wait staff and one kitchen person. The waitstaff actually left an hour before the place closed so the cook was doing double duty I'll be back but not with a group. read more

Got the Canadian Omelette, serving is big and good for 2. Comes with toast and 1pc pancake. Omelette is good and bacon pcs are big. Pancake is not as fluffy but it tastes good. Lots of choices on menu and they look good. Refillable coffee could be better. Server is super friendly. read more

The storefront doesn't exactly beg a double take, nor its interior. It's underwhelming, offsetting even; I had to remind my eyes not to wander too far. Everything about it is olde. But like many reviewers have said, you can't judge a book by its cover. Huge portions and cheap cheap prices are the value of coming here. Despite the look of this place, their food is good, so don't correlate it with their décor. It took me a very long time to finish my breakfast combo solo, accompanied by CP24. In fact it took me so long that I forgot about the steaming gigantic eye-opening pancakes that were included at the end! Seriously it was a very pleasant surprise, like a sugar-coated gift, and sadly I could not finish them! It's a slow, quiet place. Like I said, probably not many people bother to give it an eye. Of the few people that came in, it was for pickup. One of their better qualities is their 6am opening time. Yes it's in dire need of renovation and it's pretty much a one-man show here. And yes, I know there are more decent places to breakfast & brunch in Unionville, but if you can overlook these things and are simply looking for something to eat, give this place a try, it'll totally be worth your visit if you're super hungry for classic breakfast. read more

The value at this restaurant is unreal. The portion size is large and the quality of the food is great. Best greasy spoon by far in Markham. Great spot for breakfast or lunch. The eggs benny is amazing. We have had the standard Benny and the brisket and pulled pork Benny. All are great. Friendly service and good food. Check them out. They may not be the fastest at making the food but the wait is worth it. read more

We have been coming here for years and the quality and taste of the food is consistently good. They serve the best breakfast potatoes, not a single morsel of food left on my plate. Great tasting bacon, not too salty, perfect over easy eggs and the best breakfast potatoes. I know the ambiance is not the greatest but once you get past that and you are there for the great food, I will bet you will be back for more. The warm service is a bonus. I wouldn't mind going every single weekend. read more

I've been coming here for the past few years and this is my go-to place for simple breakfast-brunch diner food. The family place isn't fancy, but the service, prices and location is great. They've got daily specials during the week, along with their traditional breakfast grub. Would highly recommend their in-house freshly made Crab cakes or Shakshuka!!!!!! read more

Excellent breakfast! Price is on point and the portions are massive! My daughter ordered the breakfast kids meal and it looked like an adult sized portion! I got the veggie omelette and it filled most of my plate! And bottomless coffee Owners are super friendly and let the kids colour at another table :) Will definitely come back again! read more

This place is located on a small plaza and looks like an older breakfast restaurant that would fit in a small town. The food is great but it is definitely a fat and greasy meal. It has large portion sizes. My boyfriend and I ordered the big breakfast and I ordered the breakfast with eggs, potatoes and sausage. The good - the pancakes and waffle are moist, huge and fluffy. It tasted delicious. The bad - the service is really slow. There was only 1 person working so he was taking orders and cooking which was hard for the 5 tables he was trying to serve. I would still recommend this place if you are looking for a Coras or Eggsmart alternative. read more

Came here again with some friends, wanted to try something else after being tricked into having the largest breakfast I've ever had. Ordered the special of the day, crab cake Benedict. Food is a little slow to arrive, but everybody's meals come at once. The crab cake has quite a bit of filler but there is definitely crab in it. The Hollandaise sauce was good and went well with the crab cakes. Added a coffee and the bill ended up being $20 for me. Not quite as good a deal as the big breakfast but still a lot for the money. read more

Wasn't a big fan of this place. Firstly it took about 25 minutes to receive a 3 egg breakfast when it wasn't too busy. Eggs were over cooked. Toast was Dempster quality sliced bread and the tomatoes were not very ripe. The menu stated that it came with fruit but it didn't. We asked for it and she was surprised that we actually wanted it. Eggs were small. It's obvious to me that they cut a lot of corners. I wouldn't come back here. There are much better breakfast options in the area. read more

I'll give this 4 because the food is great, but everything else isn't really. I'd come back though! I came here with a friend who highly recommended this place. Food: 4.5/5 - for what you are paying and the type of food you're expecting walking into here - this place exceeds my expectations. The portions are massive and I couldn't finish my food. The food was a bit oily and isn't exactly a healthy brunch choice, but if you are looking to beast it out one Sat/Sun morning, I highly recommend trying this place. Service: 3.5/5 - Service was fine, the owner was friendly. Atmosphere: 2/5 - The restaurant looks pretty run down and seems dirty. The furniture, lighting and setup are all in dire need of renovations. read more

Food is great and their beef brisket is tender and juicy. Eggs were fried perfectly and toasts were loaded with butter. 5 stars for the food, but 1 star for the cleanliness. First, the table and condiments were sticky. Second,the chairs had dirt. Third, there were a lot of flies. Two of them were buzzing over my food. I had to swat them away with one hand and eat with my other. One of them settled down on the sugar dispenser finally. I won't be returning due to the cleanliness. read more

Small breakfast and brunch spot on Highway 7 close to Unionville Main Street. The interior could use air conditioning and a full out renovation and there's limited seating on Sunday brunches. But don't judge a book by its cover! The food though, is quite good. Everyone was quite pleased with the quality of the food. The eggs benedict had a thick and tasty hollandaise sauce, though the amount of potatoes was much less than the other dishes. The pasta primavera was also cooked quite well. The ham and cheese omelette was salty, but that's only because there was so much ham it felt like you were getting your money's worth, including all the toast and homefries. Our meal took quite a while to come out, and the owners pro-actively offered to reduce our bill by a meal and a coffee. The owners (both!) did come out and apologize for our meals taking so long - they had a large group, and a worker didn't show up that Sunday. The music they play doesn't really fit the name or theme of the restaurant at all. read more

Located in a strip mall it is easy to miss. The small restaurant (only has 8 tables) is worth looking for. Friendly staff. I ordered the traditional breakfast with 3 eggs, ham, toast and potatoes. It was very good. LOTS of food at a very reasonable price. Plus, the coffee was good. Highly recommended. read more

Probably driven by along hwy 7 a million times and never noticed it. But boy am I ever happy for yelp or I would have never found it! Very small family owned restaurant - probably only a handful of tables with an unimpressive decor outside and in. The food portions however are ginormous and great value for the price. I was pleasantly surprised. My friend I both ordered the olde village big breakfast with 3 eggs, 2 bacon, 2 sausages, 2 pieces of ham, potatoes, toast, pancake, French toast and a piece of fruit with coffee for $10.99! One big platter with the eggs, meat, potatoes and toast came first. We were already shocked by the food portion we completely forgot about the second giant plate that came with the pancake and French toast sprinkled with lots of cinnamon. We obviously couldn't finish our food. We are two little Asian girls that have a big appetite but this was definitely out of our league. The owner was very friendly and came out to see if we enjoyed the food and encouraged us to pack it to go. Will definitely be back! read more

BEYOND full. Had the big breakfast which let me tell you, emphasizes on BIG. Cones with sausage, ham, bacon, 3 eggs, hash browns, French toast and a pancake for $10.99. It's pretty ridiculous. So I would suggest share the plate and grab a side of something. We also had the western burrito for $6.99 and it comes with hash browns. Massive size. Both were very good, albeit greasy but what can you do, part of the experience! The pancake is GINORMOUS. Like enough for two. Both the French toast and pancake come midway through your meal (so its still hot when you are ready to eat it). So if you think they forgot... They didn't! But if youre the type to eat your "dessert" first, make note to them so they can make it asap. Went on a Monday at 10:30am and it was empty so lots of tables. However it took 30 min for our food to arrive. All good though cuz the food was worth it. And the price? RIDICULOUS. read more

First off, let me just start by saying: This place BADLY needs renovations... I regret the moment I sat at the table, and I saw one waitress struggling to clean tables, and you clearly see impatient customers getting pissed because of long wait times. There are wait times to be seated due to limited tables, and the place doesn't look clean at all. The tables were sticky! The whole time I was sitting there was maybe a hornet or a really really big wasp which was flying around the window. The only waitress took a long time to get our order, the food took a long time to arrive, and really everything just took too long in this place, I felt like it ruined my morning. One poor waitress answering all calls, refilling drinks, taking orders, delivering orders, cleaning tables, seating people, etc. Please hire more servers...! Only plus side is their portion size, which I believe everyone can agree, are huge! I regret not going to my usual breakfast place and trying Olde Village Bistro for a change.. Definitely not coming back, until they improve in service or at least expand. read more

A great place for breakfast!... Reasonably priced, great food and lots of it! lol I'm on a road trip right now from Vancouver to Markham and I'm just on the rod again from Swift Current, Saskatchewan!.... I'm drooling for their breakfast and the 2 people that work there are very hospitable and have a great sense of humour that makes the eating extravaganza that much better!... They will remember me as the old insane long distance walker always wearing my bright yellow high visibility coat! lol Joe Magdall.... read more

Food was decent ~ shared the big breakfast with my bf and it stuffed us both still leaving half a pancake and some eggs left over (very big portion so definetly if you are not a big eater I recommend you to share this) The place looks a little old but has a cozy feeling. We went around 11;30am and it was practically empty. With that being said the service was slow....... And by the time I finished my first round of breakfast finally came the pancakes&French toaat... Also they just handed us the bill when we didn't even finish our food yet. The total of the breakfast came to $17+tax IMO not quite worth it I rather grab some pho for that price or If I was up for breakfast I would just go to wimpys diner at steeles and donmills which has way better service/food and way cheaper if you go for the early bird !! read more

I agree with what Michael L. said below - "Don't judge a book by its cover". The place may look outdated and rough but it's cozy, friendly, and delicious. This restaurant covers a wide variety of food, mainly diner food varieties, but also pasta and stirfry. The Olde Village Bistro has all-day breakfast and that's what my friend and I came for. We walked in around 12:30pm on a weekday and the place was full and busy. It's a small store but we were able to get seats. With the business they have, hopefully they'll expand someday. I ordered Eggs Benedict with a side of potatoes while my friend ordered a Western Omelette with potatoes and a pancake on the side. We had to wait a while - maybe around 20 minutes - but it was worth it. The other reviews are right when they say that the portions here are huge! The food is also really good - the omelette was delicious and the eggs benedict was pretty good - lots of hollandaise sauce though. We loved their side potatoes and the pancake was cooked to that golden yellow perfection, sprinkled with powdered sugar and cinammon with syrup on the side. We'd definitely go here again - great value, friendly staff, and delicious food! read more

Upon entering you see a restaurant that desperately needs renovations. Furniture is beat up, decor is a mess and it's pretty dirty. Flies are on the wall and you can smell an odor... All signals to go somewhere else. Seeing as there were decent reviews, we still decided to give this place a chance but we regret staying. Food isn't cheap here, it came out to $22 for two people to have breakfast items. The taste was also less than mediocre. All having this strange taste probably from old oil. The service was also nothing special. Our server just left mid seating with a loud "OK Bye!" and we were left to be served by the kitchen staff... The only other table at the restaurant was also equally confused lol. I currently feel disgusting after eating here. I think my toilet is expecting me later. read more

Wanted to try some new breakfast places and decided to give this little restaurant a try. It's quite difficult to find parking during weekends, but it's usually emptier on weekdays. However, there is a street right behind the plaza for free parking! This place is run by a couple and my friend and I were greeted very nicely upon entrance. The restaurant itself appears quite old. Not the best place aesthetics wise. Food wise, portions are absolutely HUGE. The menu is simple with all sorts of breakfast and lunch dishes that range from omelettes, sandwiches, eggs benedicts and much more! I ordered the Western Hash Omelette with sausage. I was utterly shocked with the size. I have never in my life seen such a big omelette. They are very generous with ingredients and the dish was packed with sausage and cheese. It comes with a good portion of potatoes as well as your choice of toast. It also comes with an equally big pancake! The village big breakfast comes with three eggs of your choice, bacon, sausage, potatoes and your choice of toast. It also comes with French toast and another giant pancake! The food was delicious and was truly comfort food. Everything was made perfectly! The owners were also very kind and made sure we enjoyed everything. Prices are cheaper than Cora's but portions are way bigger! My favorite has to be the pancakes. Big, fluffy and soft! It was honestly some of the best pancakes I have ever tasted and I will come back for sure! Definitely recommend this place but make sure that you are starving or bring a lot of friends! read more

Ordered ham and cheese omelette and pancakes. The ham and cheese omelette was filled with ham and cheese, then topped with more cheese. It was seasoned nicely, it tasted amazing and was cooked perfectly. Home fries were seasoned well, had onions and tasted great too. Pancakes were good, soft, fluffy and not dry. They were a lot larger than I expected, especially for the price. One thing though is the pancakes were burnt & the fresh fruit the omelette said it came with never came Other than that it was pretty good, they actually gave me 3 pancakes when I ordered 1. read more

Fantastic little eatery beside the decaying Dominos pizza joint on hwy7 and Main Street. Portions are gigantic and the attention to detail is fantastic. The 5 of us came aren't exact lightweights in the art of devouring but Ye Olde Village Bistro almost knocked us out with their portions. We ordered just about one of each type of omelette as it was said to come with pancakes. Big mistake, it was delicious but we had to claw and scratch to finish the food. read more

Wanted to grab breakfast but not at the price point of alchemy across the street or Cora's. Accidentally drove past it bc it's easy to miss but upon arrival the owners greeted us warmly. Y'all the portions are huge! Ordered: -big breakfast (12.99) there was so much food it definitely could've fed two people -daily special (6.99) it was pasta and they let you choose which pasta you'd like from the list. We got the chicken one and there was a really generous portion of chicken -English omelette my head is the size of a very small country and this omelette was bigger than it. Overall it was a great place with good food, and friendly people. Decor wise it's not the most beautiful but it has a homey feel which is what I like in breakfast places any way read more

Tiny, but casual location for breakfast/brunch! While the interior and exterior are quite unimpressive in aesthetic, the food does in fact compensate. The cooks and wait staff are friendly and are quick to serve and ensure the meal is going well. I typically get the Village Bistro Breakfast; three eggs, ham, sausage, bacon, potatoes, pancakes, toast, and french toast. The portions are quite generous, with more than expected for breakfast portions. The french toast is by far my favourite; super fluffy, and more so on the sweet side. The pancakes are also fluffy and come in powdered sugar. Beyond the breakfast selection, they serve some excellent lunch specials! read more

Last Saturday after my dental appointment, hubby and I want to find a place to have a big breakfast to start our day, so it's a good chance to try Olde Village Bistro. We always passed by this little restaurant but didn't notice is a good place for breakfast/brunch until I searched on yelp. A very small family run restaurant with about 8 tables. Although it's outdated, but I love their food! I ordered a peameal bacon benedict and hubby ordered a big breakfast with everything (sausage, bacon, ham, egg, pancake and french toast) The portion is really big and I love their potato. Usually I will ask server to switch my potato with something else but not this time, I'm so glad I didn't ask. Their potato is so good that I can finished half of my portion. Compared to my neighbourhood breakfast place, this one is alot better. Love it! read more

We used to enjoy coming here for weekend brunch. The latest visits we didn't have pleasant experiences for two reasons: 1) Food was taking a REALLY long time to arrive. 2) This place does not have AC (which is fine as it's an old diner) but they should have extra fans running. It was so unbearably hot in there, I could not enjoy my meal. Food took 20+min to arrive. I was too nauseous from the heat to eat then. Don't think I will be returning read more

I drive by this place all the time and their signs advertising ridiculously cheap food finally pulled me in. What can I say? I'm a sucker for good deals. We got the big village breakfast that came with 2 sausages, 2 pieces of ham, 2 pieces of bacon, 3 eggs, hash browns, toast, French toast, and a giant slab of pancake, as well as the hot and honey chicken wrap with fries. The big village breakfast could very well feed a village. Portions were massive! Bacon was crispy, eggs were cooked properly, and the toast was nicely toasted and buttered. The chef later on told us that he smokes the bacon himself. This is a typical breakfast you would get anywhere else, but their pancakes were nice and fluffy and their french toast was really good, too. The hot and honey chicken wrap was also a huge portion. I was forewarned that the wrap would be spicy and I appreciated the clarification. The wrap itself is a little juicier than I would have liked, but I was only able to finish half, so I'm going to throw the other half in the oven for dinner later and I'm sure that will solve the problem. Filled to the brim with chicken, tomato, and onion, this meal is really two in one. Fries were standard. I know frozen fries when I see them. The chef is also the server and he was very welcoming, making sure we enjoyed his food. For breakfast, food took a little longer than usual, but it was well worth the wait. read more

Came here on a Friday afternoon. The place was empty at first but then wave after wave of high school students came pouring in. It was like I was in a high school cafeteria and the noise level was so loud I wanted to just leave. This joint is a bit run down and could really use an update. Small but cozy at the same time. I believe this is a husband and wife operation. They were both very friendly and easy to speak with. Their friendliness gave me a bit more confidence about the place. Eggs Benedict with salmon $11.99 - comes the home fries which I really enjoyed. The home fries was basically a whole potato with the skin which was cut into small cubes. The egg itself was poached really well and the hollandaise sauce was pretty decent. Big Breakfast $11.99 - 3 eggs, 3 meats (sausage, ham, bacon), home fries, buttered bread, huge fluffy pancake and French toast. It was so big that it comes in 2 separate plates. Everything tasted good. Bacon was extra crispy just the way I like them. A good breakfast place but Honey B Hives is still hands down the best. 3.5 stars read more
