Goed Eten OssingtonGoed Eten has resurfaced on Ossington, a year after closing up shop at its original location in Kensington Market. Still on the menu are the goods that made this place so popular to begin with - namely, Brussels style waffles plus an assortment of waffle pressed sandwiches.

I went to this place this morning for breakfast with my girlfriend,

We both had the eggs benny and shared a plate of belgian waffles.

When we arrived the waitress was very rude to us, we were the only
customers in this place. She didn't offer us any coffee or water, she
simply cleaned the table with an old rag, handed us the menu's, and walked
away. Not the kind of service I was expecting from "NNNNN" rated restaurant.

The bennies were mediocre at best, and the belgian waffles were tiny for the money.

This restaurant needs to improve drastically it's service and it's food.
Do yourself a favor and skip this joint, there are far better options in Toronto,
especially for breakfast!

The food is good but the service is really weird. They need to hire nicer waitresses.

Place has the weirdest hours which they don't even care to adhere to. When I do catch it open, the food is most often good. I dont blame the staff for weird service. I doubt its a good gig.

Surprised it is still there.

This is no way to run a good idea for a restaurant and a waste of some good food appreciation. Those waffle brekkie sandwches would sell by the thousands in, lets say, Union Station.

Good, potenially great food. Zero business sense, no commitment.

Don't let the bad comments deter you! Yeah, the service is quirky, and it's not open as often as I'd like (but hey, it IS a breakfast joint, primarily), but the food is phenomenal. The waffles are the best I've ever had- really fluffy and light, and crispy. They also come with a selection of amazing toppings: fresh fruit, amazing homemade ice cream, chantilly, classic maple syrup, etc. The waffle sandwiches are also amazing. You can tell that they use really high quality, fresh ingredients. The owner also seems really nice.
I go out of my way to come to this place- but I would suggest checking their website for hours, because I've arrived to a closed sign at least twice.

Went to Goed Eten for brunch this past weekend and all I have to say is, if you want mediocre food and bad service then make the trip down to the trendy Ossington strip...cuz that's all it has going for it. On their website it clearly states Wednesday-Sunday 10am-4pm. One of our friends got there for 10ish and the lights weren't even on. Needless to say if you are going to state your hours be consistent. There was only one waitress, so it seemed obvious they were short staffed, but that is no excuse for the poor service and rude abrupt demeanour we received that day. About an hour in with no coffees mind you, the waitress comes back to say there was an 'error in the computer' and our orders didn't go thru. It took us over an hour and a half to get a few poached eggs and a piece of waffle and to pay an extra $1 for a thimble sized serving of maple syrup is at best ridiculous. In the end all fingers should point to management and I give them a big fail. Save your time and money and go elsewhere.

On the first nice Sunday of the year, this place was the perfect find for a an early spring brunch. The service was friendly and prompt, the food was tasty and well portioned. I had the caramelized french toast with fruit (to die for!) and my partner had the tuna salad with brie and apple slaw. The price was fair for the value, and the whole experience clocked only 45 mins! Definitely going back!
